3 * glib/gslice.c: improved gettimeofday() timer resolution by maintaining
4 acceptable load distribution of the syscall.
5 (slab_allocator_free_chunk): reduce minimum/single-thread magazine sizes
6 to approximately page_size/2.5 to avoid excessive startup allocations.
8 2005-12-01 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
10 * tests/gobject/ifacecheck.c (test_iface_base_init): Don't
11 double-free base interface members.
13 * tests/Makefile.am: Remove duplicate variable.
15 Thu Dec 1 17:32:46 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
17 * glib/gslice.[hc]: new slice allocator implementation.
19 * tests/slice-test.c: added random slice allocation test.
21 * glib/gthread.[hc]: removed newly added private thread mem API.
26 * glib/gmem.c: divided glib threading initialisation into three phases,
27 initialisation where private keys and messaging are not available (only
28 needed by gmem.c), initialisation without messaging but private keys
29 available (gslice.c, gmessage.c), and full fledged initialisers that
30 server the rest of glib. initialisation functions got renamed to reflect
31 the limitations of their corresponding phases.
33 * glib/gmem.c: removed memchunk code, defer allocations to
36 * glib/gmem.[hc]: removed g_slice_* skeletons.
38 * glib/glib.symbols: added g_slice_* symbols.
40 * configure.in: check for availability of posix_memalign(3), memalign(3)
43 * glib/Makefile.am: added gslice.[hc].
45 2005-12-01 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
47 * glib/gstdio.c (g_stat): In the Win32 implementation, strip
48 trailing slash(es) for non-root folders. stat() fails if non-root
49 folders are specified with trailing slashes. It's too much hassle
50 to demand that callers strip such slashes themselves, especially
51 as it is easy to get it wrong and strip the slash of a root
53 (g_rename): On NT-based Windows, use MoveFileEx() with
54 MOVEFILE_REPLACE_EXISTING to better match Unix behaviour.
56 2005-11-28 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
58 Fix G_STMT_START / G_STMT_END on Solaris. (#321972,
61 * configure.in: Check whether do { } while (0) works.
63 * glib/gmacros.h: Use do { } while (0) for G_STMT_START /
64 G_STMT_END if it works.
66 2005-11-28 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
68 * glib/gthread.c (g_static_rw_lock_wait, g_static_rw_lock_signal):

72 (g_hash_table_foreach_remove_or_steal): Silence compiler
75 2005-11-27 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
77 * glib/gunicollate.c (g_utf8_collate_key_for_filename):
78 Don't read beyond len. (#322520, Christian Persch)
80 Wed Nov 23 17:34:01 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
82 * glib/gdataset.c: access datalist flags via atomic pointer access
83 functions, instead of acquiring the dataset lock. this is faster and
84 also matches the atomic pointer readouts in gdatalistprivate.h and
85 direct pointer modifications required by gobject.c.
87 Wed Nov 23 13:35:31 2005 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
89 * glib/gdataset.c: streamlined initialization code somewhat,
90 removed GData node cache.
92 2005-11-22 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
94 * glib/ghash.c (g_hash_table_ref):
95 (g_hash_table_unref): Mark these as new API.
97 Avoid double locking in g_intern_string (#322133,
100 * glib/gdataset.c (g_quark_from_string_internal): New
101 internal function which factors out common parts of
102 g_quark_from[_static]_string.
103 (g_quark_from_string, g_quark_from_static_string):
104 Use g_quark_from_string_internal.
105 (g_intern_string, g_intern_static_string): Use
106 g_quark_from_string_internal, and only take the
108 (g_quark_new): Don't store the strings shifted by -1
109 in the g_quarks array.
110 (g_quark_to_string): Adapt to the previous change.
112 Tue Nov 22 14:04:26 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
116 g_hash_table_new_full(): create hash tables with a ref count of 1.
117 g_hash_table_ref(): atomically ref_count+=1
118 g_hash_table_unref(): atomically ref_count-=1, destroys hash table
119 when refcount reaches 0.
120 g_hash_table_destroy(): just destroy keys and values, unref by 1.
121 g_hash_table_insert():
122 g_hash_table_replace(): assert ref_count>0.
125 * glib/gatomic.c: added 'volatile' qualifier to all atomic pointer and
128 2005-11-20 Behdad Esfahbod <behdad@gnome.org>
130 * glib/guniprop.c (g_unichar_get_mirror_char): Remove unused
131 variables. (#321984, Andrew Paprocki)
133 2005-11-18 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>

150 * README.in: Updates.
154 * glib/gdate.c (g_date_set_time_t):
155 (g_date_set_time_val): Add functions to set a date from
156 a time_t and from a GTimeVal.
157 (g_date_set_time): Deprecate. (#314067, Roger Leigh)
160 * tests/utf8-pointer.c: Unit tests for g_utf8_pointer_to_offset
161 and g_utf8_offset_to_pointer.
163 * glib/gutf8.c (g_utf8_pointer_to_offset)
164 (g_utf8_offset_to_pointer): Handle negative offsets, and use
165 "stutter stepping" for going backwards. (#320638, Larry
170 * glib/gthread.c: const correctness fixes, found
171 by Arjan van de Ven and gcc.
173 2005-11-16 Behdad Esfahbod <behdad@gnome.org>
175 * docs/reference/glib/tmpl/unicode.sgml: Correct typo on mentioning
176 @G_UNICODE_BREAK_UNKNOWN that should be #G_UNICODE_BREAK_UNKNOWN.
178 2005-11-09 Behdad Esfahbod <behdad@gnome.org>
180 * glib/guniprop.c: Use bit hacks instead when checking a general
181 category value against multiple values.
183 * glib/gutf8.c: Change ISO10646 to Unicode in docs.
185 2005-11-10 Simos Xenitellis <simos@gnome.org>
187 * configure.in: Added tt (Tatar) to ALL_LINGUAS.
189 2005-11-05 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
191 * glib/giowin32.c (g_io_win32_set_flags): Don't call g_warning().
192 (#320688) Instead set error and return failure.
194 2005-11-07 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
196 * glib/gmain.c (g_main_dispatch): Don't call cb_funcs->unref
197 while holding the context lock. (#320886, Andy Wingo)
199 2005-11-07 Billy Biggs <vektor@dumbterm.net>
201 * tests/refcount/Makefile.am: Add a missing reference to libglib
202 in the LDADD for this test.
204 2005-11-07 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
206 * glib/gmem.c (g_allocator_new): We need to set n_preallocs to a
207 nonzero value, otherwise GTK+ 2.8 breaks when compiled against
208 GLib 2.9. (#320755, Luca Ferretti)
210 2005-11-04 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
212 * glib/Makefile.am: Apply a patch from Behdad Esfahbod to
213 use a faster lookup table for g_unichar_get_mirror_char().
214 * glib/gmirroringtable.h: The new table.
215 * glib/gunichartables.h: Remove bidi_mirroring_table.
216 * glib/gen-unicode-tables.pl: Don't generate the mirroring
218 * glib/glib-mirroring-tab/*: Sources for the program
219 which generated gmirroringtable.h.
221 * glib/glist.c: Avoid some code duplication.
223 * glib/gscanner.h: Include gdataset.h. (#320322)
225 * glib/gdebug.h: add new GDebugFlag for fatal_criticals
226 * glib/gmessages.c: (_g_debug_init): handle G_DEBUG=fatal_criticals,
227 to help find critical warnings in applications. (#320017,
230 2005-11-02 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
232 * glib/glib.symbols: Remove large amount of trailing whitespace
233 from one line. Remove #ifdef G_UNDEFINED from around
234 g_hash_table_new and g_hash_table_new_full symbols, what was the
235 purpose of that? Add the g_slice functions.
237 Tue Nov 1 16:24:20 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
239 * glib/gmem.[hc]: prepared deprecation of GMemChunk and GAllocator.
240 added g_slice_*() API to allocate and cache small bits of memory.
241 an actuall allocator implementation for g_slice_*() is still pending.
243 * glib/gthread.[hc]: changes from a patch by Matthias Clasen.
244 changed GRealThread list to use in-structure *next; fields instead
245 of GSList, in order for thread iteration to not depenend on g_slice_*()
247 _g_thread_mem_private_get():
248 _g_thread_mem_private_set(): added accessors for private memory,
249 needed because the ordinary GPrivate implementation relies on GArray
250 and GSList and therefore indirectly on working g_slice_*() allocations.
253 g_thread_foreach(): new public API function to loop over all existing threads.
267 removed GAllocator and free list usages and accompanying locks.
268 use g_slice_*() API to allocate and cache small bits of memory.
270 * glib/ghook.h: removed GMemChunk field from public API.
273 * glib/glist.h: deprecate allocator API, provide _free1() for consistency.
275 * glib/gnode.h: deprecate allocator API.
277 * glib/gmain.c: reordered GPollRec fields so g_slice_free_chain() can
278 be used for poll rec lists.
280 * glib/grel.c: removed mem chunk usage, and allocated tuples via g_slice_*().
281 g_relation_destroy(): free all tuples from the all_tuples hash table,
282 this effectively maintains the life time track keeping of tuples.
283 g_relation_delete_tuple(): free tuples which are removed from the
284 all_tuples hash table. this fixes a temporary leak that was present
285 in the memchunk code until the destruction of the relation.
287 2005-10-29 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
289 * tests/convert-test.c: Add some tests for conversions between
290 UTF-8, UCS-4 and UTF-16.
292 * glib/gutf8.c (g_utf8_to_ucs4, g_utf8_to_utf16): Fix handling
293 of len == -1, noticed by Morten Welinder.
295 2005-10-27 Erdal Ronahi <erdal.ronahi@gmail.com>
297 * configure.in: Added ku (Kurdish) to ALL_LINGUAS
299 2005-10-26 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
301 * glib/gutf8.c (g_ucs4_to_utf8): Don't set items_read twice
302 in the error case, and add some documentation. (#319806, Morten
305 2005-10-19 Manish Singh <yosh@gimp.org>
307 * configure.in: Use AC_CHECK_FUNCS for _NSGetEnviron, to get the
308 config.h symbol automatically. Fixes bug #313731.
310 2005-10-19 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
312 * glib/gwin32.c (g_win32_get_package_installation_directory):
313 Return a g_strdup()ed copy of the value stored in the hash table,
314 so that it can be g_free()d without leaving a dangling pointer in
315 the hash table. (#319232)
317 2005-10-06 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
319 * glib/gunicollate.c (g_utf8_collate_key_for_filename): Handle
320 all-zero sequences correctly. (#317930, Sebastien Bacher)
322 2005-10-05 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
324 * glib/gmarkup.c (g_markup_escape_text): Doc addition
326 * Makefile.am: Add Collation tests.
328 * tests/collate/*: Inputs and expected outputs for collation tests.
330 * tests/run-collate-tests.sh: Script to run collation tests.
332 * tests/unicode-collate.c (main): Rework slightly to make
333 it usable in unit tests. Also test g_utf8_collate_key_for_filename().
335 2005-10-01 Behdad Esfahbod <behdad@gnome.org>
337 * docs/reference/glib/tmpl/unicode.sgml:
338 * glib/gen-unicode-tables.pl:
340 * glib/gunichartables.h:
342 * tests/casefold.txt:
343 * tests/casemap.txt: Updated to Unicode 4.1. There are five new
344 GUnicodeBreakType types. That may break some applications, like
347 2005-09-26 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
349 * glib/gstrfuncs.c (g_ascii_strtoull): Add details to the
350 docs. (#314393, Matthew F. Barnes)
353 * glib/gprintf.h: Remove g_snprintf() and g_vsnprintf(), since
354 they are already declared in glib.h. This doesn't break documented
355 use of gprintf.h, but should probably be pointed out in the
356 release notes for 2.10. (#314232, Behdad Esfahbod)
358 Tue Sep 20 13:16:04 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
360 * glib/gpattern.c (g_pattern_ph_match): applied significant recursion
361 complexity optimization, based on a patch from Matthias Clasen.
363 * tests/patterntest.c: more tests, mostly from matthias.
365 2005-09-20 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
367 * glib/gqueue.c (g_queue_insert_sorted): Correct the docs.
368 (#316703, Mark Drago)
370 Mon Sep 19 17:23:23 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
372 * glib/gpattern.c: applied a patch from matthias which checks on the
373 upper bound of GPatternSpec length to optimize matches.
376 * tests/patterntest.c: added more match cases.
378 2005-09-16 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
380 * glib/gstrfuncs.c (g_ascii_strcasecmp, g_ascii_strncasecmp): Add
381 warning to doc comment that these functions should not be used on
382 encodings like CP932.
384 2005-09-14 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
386 * tests/keyfile-test.c: Add a test for grup names of length 1.
388 * glib/gkeyfile.c (g_key_file_line_is_group): Accept group names
389 of length 1. (#316309)
391 2005-09-12 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
393 * glib/gmarkup.c (g_markup_escape_text): Clarify docs.
395 2005-09-11 Sebastian Wilhelmi <seppi@seppi.de>
397 * tests/refcount/Makefile.am (INCLUDES): Link the the refcount
398 tests to the system thread library $(G_THREAD_LIBS). Fixes #313744
401 2005-09-11 Kjartan Maraas <kmaraas@gnome.org>
403 * glib/gmain.c: (g_child_watch_prepare), (g_child_watch_check),
404 (child_watch_helper_thread): Remove some dead code. Closes
407 2005-09-07 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
409 * glib/Makefile.am: Create also a console version of the
410 gspawn-win32-helper program, gspawn-win32-helper-console.exe.
411 It's otherwise identical to gspawn-win32-helper.exe, except marked
412 as a console application (linked without the -mwindows option).
414 * glib/gspawn-win32.c (do_spawn_directly, do_spawn_with_pipes):
415 Drop the dont_wait parameter. Its truth value correlated 100% with
416 the NULLness of the exit_status parameter anyway, so it's enough
417 to check whether exit_status is NULL. Invert the sense of the
418 dont_return_handle parameter and rename it to do_return_handle, to
419 make the code easier to read by avoiding double negations.
421 (g_spawn_sync_utf8, g_spawn_async_with_pipes_utf8): Modify calls
422 to do_spawn_with_pipes() accordingly.
424 (do_spawn_with_pipes): If we have a console, use the console
425 version of the helper program, otherwise use the GUI one. This
426 avoids extra console windows opening up in some situations. (In
427 case a console application uses the GUI gspawn-win32-helper.exe to
428 spawn another console application we would get a separate console
429 for the spawned console application).
431 * glib-zip.in: Distribute also gspawn-win32-helper-console.exe.
433 2005-09-05 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
435 * glib/gmappedfile.c (g_mapped_file_new): Report an error
436 if the file is too large. (#315275, Kjartan Maraas)
438 * glib/gkeyfile.c (g_key_file_load_from_fd): The return value
439 of read() is signed. (#315273, Kjartan Maraas)
441 2005-08-31 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
443 * glib/gutils.h: Wrapping atexit() is a bad idea on Windows, where
444 the EXE and each DLL have their own atexit function chains.
446 #define g_atexit as atexit instead. This means it has a
447 better chance of doing what the caller wants. For instance,
448 gtkhtml calls g_atexit() registering a function in gtkhtml
449 itself. This caused a crash when g_atexit() was implemented as a
450 function in the GLib DLL. The gtkhtml DLL was already unloaded by
451 the time the GLib DLL got unloaded.
453 * glib/gutils.c: #undef the #define mentioned above, to also get a
454 real g_atexit() into the DLL for backward compatibility. Document
455 the Windows behaviour of g_atexit(), and document the varying ways
456 atexit() can behave in the context of dynamically loaded modules
459 2005-08-31 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
463 * glib/gdataset.c: Add string interning functions.
465 2005-08-28 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
467 * glib/giochannel.c: Unify some near-duplicate strings. (#314654,
470 2005-08-26 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
472 * configure.in: Bump version to 2.9.0
474 2005-08-25 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
476 Make also the g_spawn*() functions take parameters in the GLib
477 file name encoding, i.e. UTF-8, on Windows. Has no impact on Unix
478 API or ABI. Like the other GLib API that was earlier changed to
479 use UTF-8 on Windows, the names of the functions that take UTF-8
480 have _utf8 suffixes added by using preprocessor macros in the
481 header file. The old names are kept for functions with the old
482 behaviour, taking parameters in the system codepage, for DLL ABI
485 * glib/gspawn.h: On Win32 add the suffix _utf8 to the names of the
486 g_spawn*() functions.
488 * glib/gspawn-win32.c: Use wide-char API on NT-based
489 Windows. Convert parameters from UTF-8 to wide chars (NT) or
490 system codepage (Win9x) and call the C library _wspawn*() or
491 spawn*() functions respectvely. Add DLL ABI stability versions
492 that take parameters in the system codepage.
494 * glib/gspawn-win32-helper.c: On NT-based Windows use the
495 wide-char versions of argv and envp, and use wide-char API to
496 change directory and spawn the program to run. Remove the verbose
497 debugging output, it was too complex to modify for the wide-char
498 features. (Just add temporary debugging printouts if needed, no
499 need to have them permanently in the source.)
501 * glib/gspawn.c: Corresponding documentation updates.
503 * glib/glib.symbols: Corresponding changes: Mark the ABI stability
504 symbols as PRIVATE, add the new _utf8-suffixed ones.
506 2005-08-24 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
508 * glib/gtypes.h (G_MININT64): Cast the constant to gint64; it is
509 guint64 otherwise and that can produce warnings about comparison
510 between signed and unsigned.
512 2005-08-23 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
514 * glib/gutils.c: Fix the crt_externs.h include.
516 2005-08-23 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
518 * NEWS: Fix spelling of my first name.
520 2005-08-23 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
524 * === Released 2.8.1 ===
528 2005-08-20 Hans Breuer <hans@breuer.org>

534 * configure.in: Check for <sys/wait.h>
536 * glib/gbacktrace.c: Include <sys/wait.h> on if HAVE_SYS_WAIT_H.
538 2005-08-18 Ross Burton <ross@burtonini.com>
541 Optimise single-character insertions.
546 * tests/string-test.c:
547 Add tests for new optimisation, and fix a leak.
549 2005-08-17 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
551 * configure.in: Check for crt_externs.h and _NSGetEnviron.
553 * glib/gutils.c: On Darwin, include crt-externs.h and
554 define environ using _NSGetEnviron(). (#313731)
556 2005-08-16 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
558 * glib/gutils.c (g_get_any_init): Move the body of the big if...
559 (g_get_any_init_do): ... to this new function.
560 (g_get_any_init): Declare as inline.
561 (g_get_any_init_locked): New inline function, does the locking.
562 Make use of these two throughout the code.
564 2005-08-15 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
566 * glib/gbacktrace.c (g_on_error_stack_trace): Wait for
567 the child process and then simply return. This makes
568 The "S" option work as documented in g_on_error_query().
569 (#313125, Matthew F. Barnes)
571 * glib/gunicode.h: Update the link to Unicode category
572 values. (#313369, Behnam Esfahbod)
574 * glib/gqueue.c (g_queue_find_custom): Clarify docs
575 a little. (#311727, Tristan van Berkom)
577 * glib/abicheck.sh, gobject/abicheck.sh: Make the
578 check work on ia64 too, where some symbols ended up
579 in yet another section.
