3 * glib/gatomic.c: Fix memory barrier position in g_atomic_int_get
4 and g_atomic_pointer_get. Add g_atomic_int_set and
5 g_atomic_pointer_set implementations for the !DEFINE_WITH_MUTEXES &&
6 G_ATOMIC_OP_MEMORY_BARRIER_NEEDED case, as well as defining them
7 as functions (additionally to the macros in the header) for the
8 !G_ATOMIC_OP_MEMORY_BARRIER_NEEDED case.

88 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT):
89 * tests/gobject/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Set
90 MALLOC_CHECK_ and MALLOC_PERTURB_

113 - Added test case for gasyncqueue.c
115 Mon Dec 5 15:53:20 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
117 * glib/gslice.c: implement chain walking for arbitrary ->next pointer
118 offsets in g_slice_free_chain_with_offset() based on a patch by behdad
119 in bug 323178. moved time consuming logic from g_slice_free() out of
120 the inner loop, so g_slice_free_chain_with_offset() provides a real
121 performance benefit over g_slice_free1() now.
123 * glib/gslice.h: renamed g_slice_free_chain() to
124 g_slice_free_chain_with_offset(). implemented g_slice_free_chain() as
125 a type-safe macro as suggested in bug 323178.
126 simplified the macro implementation of g_slice_free() and implemented
127 it in a type safe manner for all compliers as suggested by Morten
128 Welinder <mortenw@gnome.org>.
133 * glib/glib.symbols: s/g_slice_free_chain/g_slice_free_chain_with_offset/

151 Handle multiple user names with the same UID better.
152 (#319535, Laszlo Peter)
154 * glib/gutils.c (g_get_any_init_do): When determining user
155 data, first look up $LOGNAME. If the UID doesn't match
156 getuid(), fall back to the current behaviour of looking
157 up the user data based on getuid().
159 2005-12-04 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
161 * glib/gmacros.h (G_GNUC_WARN_UNUSED_RESULT): Add a macro
162 to make gcc warn if a function result is ignored. (#145466,
163 Arjan van de Ven, Alex Larsson)
165 * glib/gmem.h: Add the new attribute to g_realloc and

201 * glib/gatomic.c (g_atomic_int_add): Add a missing volatile for
202 the IA64 implementation.
204 Fri Dec 2 16:18:09 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
206 * glib/gslice.c: some naming and type size fixups.
208 Fri Dec 2 13:08:58 2005 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
210 * glib/gslice.h (g_slice_free): reworked GCC-specific type-safe macro
211 variant into something less verbose, but digestible for gcc-3.4.
213 Fri Dec 2 10:55:07 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
215 * tests/slice-test.c: extended to perform the benchmarking on the old
216 memchunk code if 'O' is selected.
218 * tests/memchunks.c: new file which contains the old GLib mem chunks
219 implementation with prefix old_mem_chunk_.
221 * tests/Makefile.am: added memchunks.c
223 Fri Dec 2 00:16:59 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
225 * glib/gslice.c: improved gettimeofday() timer resolution by maintaining
226 acceptable load distribution of the syscall.
227 (allocator_get_magazine_threshold): reduce minimum/single-thread magazine
228 sizes to approximately page_size/2.5 to avoid excessive startup allocations.
230 2005-12-01 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
232 * tests/gobject/ifacecheck.c (test_iface_base_init): Don't
233 double-free base interface members.
235 * tests/Makefile.am: Remove duplicate variable.
237 Thu Dec 1 17:32:46 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
239 * glib/gslice.[hc]: new slice allocator implementation.
241 * tests/slice-test.c: added random slice allocation test.
243 * glib/gthread.[hc]: removed newly added private thread mem API.
245 * glib/gthreadinit.h:
248 * glib/gmem.c: divided glib threading initialisation into three phases,
249 initialisation where private keys and messaging are not available (only
250 needed by gmem.c), initialisation without messaging but private keys
251 available (gslice.c, gmessage.c), and full fledged initialisers that
252 server the rest of glib. initialisation functions got renamed to reflect
253 the limitations of their corresponding phases.
255 * glib/gmem.c: removed memchunk code, defer allocations to
258 * glib/gmem.[hc]: removed g_slice_* skeletons.
260 * glib/glib.symbols: added g_slice_* symbols.
262 * configure.in: check for availability of posix_memalign(3), memalign(3)
265 * glib/Makefile.am: added gslice.[hc].
267 2005-12-01 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
269 * glib/gstdio.c (g_stat): In the Win32 implementation, strip
270 trailing slash(es) for non-root folders. stat() fails if non-root
271 folders are specified with trailing slashes. It's too much hassle
272 to demand that callers strip such slashes themselves, especially
273 as it is easy to get it wrong and strip the slash of a root
275 (g_rename): On NT-based Windows, use MoveFileEx() with
276 MOVEFILE_REPLACE_EXISTING to better match Unix behaviour.
278 2005-11-28 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
280 Fix G_STMT_START / G_STMT_END on Solaris. (#321972,
283 * configure.in: Check whether do { } while (0) works.
285 * glib/gmacros.h: Use do { } while (0) for G_STMT_START /
286 G_STMT_END if it works.

300 Don't read beyond len. (#322520, Christian Persch)
302 Wed Nov 23 17:34:01 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
304 * glib/gdataset.c: access datalist flags via atomic pointer access
305 functions, instead of acquiring the dataset lock. this is faster and
306 also matches the atomic pointer readouts in gdatalistprivate.h and
307 direct pointer modifications required by gobject.c.
309 Wed Nov 23 13:35:31 2005 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
311 * glib/gdataset.c: streamlined initialization code somewhat,
312 removed GData node cache.

316 * glib/ghash.c (g_hash_table_ref):
317 (g_hash_table_unref): Mark these as new API.
319 Avoid double locking in g_intern_string (#322133,
322 * glib/gdataset.c (g_quark_from_string_internal): New
323 internal function which factors out common parts of
324 g_quark_from[_static]_string.
325 (g_quark_from_string, g_quark_from_static_string):
326 Use g_quark_from_string_internal.
327 (g_intern_string, g_intern_static_string): Use
328 g_quark_from_string_internal, and only take the
330 (g_quark_new): Don't store the strings shifted by -1
331 in the g_quarks array.
332 (g_quark_to_string): Adapt to the previous change.
334 Tue Nov 22 14:04:26 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
338 g_hash_table_new_full(): create hash tables with a ref count of 1.
339 g_hash_table_ref(): atomically ref_count+=1
340 g_hash_table_unref(): atomically ref_count-=1, destroys hash table
341 when refcount reaches 0.
342 g_hash_table_destroy(): just destroy keys and values, unref by 1.
343 g_hash_table_insert():
344 g_hash_table_replace(): assert ref_count>0.

392 * glib/gthread.c: const correctness fixes, found
393 by Arjan van de Ven and gcc.
395 2005-11-16 Behdad Esfahbod <behdad@gnome.org>
397 * docs/reference/glib/tmpl/unicode.sgml: Correct typo on mentioning
398 @G_UNICODE_BREAK_UNKNOWN that should be #G_UNICODE_BREAK_UNKNOWN.
400 2005-11-09 Behdad Esfahbod <behdad@gnome.org>
402 * glib/guniprop.c: Use bit hacks instead when checking a general
403 category value against multiple values.
405 * glib/gutf8.c: Change ISO10646 to Unicode in docs.
407 2005-11-10 Simos Xenitellis <simos@gnome.org>

411 2005-11-05 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
413 * glib/giowin32.c (g_io_win32_set_flags): Don't call g_warning().
414 (#320688) Instead set error and return failure.
416 2005-11-07 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
418 * glib/gmain.c (g_main_dispatch): Don't call cb_funcs->unref
419 while holding the context lock. (#320886, Andy Wingo)
421 2005-11-07 Billy Biggs <vektor@dumbterm.net>
423 * tests/refcount/Makefile.am: Add a missing reference to libglib
424 in the LDADD for this test.
426 2005-11-07 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
428 * glib/gmem.c (g_allocator_new): We need to set n_preallocs to a
429 nonzero value, otherwise GTK+ 2.8 breaks when compiled against
430 GLib 2.9. (#320755, Luca Ferretti)
432 2005-11-04 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
434 * glib/Makefile.am: Apply a patch from Behdad Esfahbod to
435 use a faster lookup table for g_unichar_get_mirror_char().
436 * glib/gmirroringtable.h: The new table.
437 * glib/gunichartables.h: Remove bidi_mirroring_table.
438 * glib/gen-unicode-tables.pl: Don't generate the mirroring

448 * glib/gmessages.c: (_g_debug_init): handle G_DEBUG=fatal_criticals,
449 to help find critical warnings in applications. (#320017,
452 2005-11-02 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
454 * glib/glib.symbols: Remove large amount of trailing whitespace
455 from one line. Remove #ifdef G_UNDEFINED from around
456 g_hash_table_new and g_hash_table_new_full symbols, what was the
457 purpose of that? Add the g_slice functions.
459 Tue Nov 1 16:24:20 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
461 * glib/gmem.[hc]: prepared deprecation of GMemChunk and GAllocator.
462 added g_slice_*() API to allocate and cache small bits of memory.
463 an actuall allocator implementation for g_slice_*() is still pending.
465 * glib/gthread.[hc]: changes from a patch by Matthias Clasen.
466 changed GRealThread list to use in-structure *next; fields instead
467 of GSList, in order for thread iteration to not depenend on g_slice_*()
469 _g_thread_mem_private_get():
470 _g_thread_mem_private_set(): added accessors for private memory,
471 needed because the ordinary GPrivate implementation relies on GArray
472 and GSList and therefore indirectly on working g_slice_*() allocations.
475 g_thread_foreach(): new public API function to loop over all existing threads.
489 removed GAllocator and free list usages and accompanying locks.
490 use g_slice_*() API to allocate and cache small bits of memory.
492 * glib/ghook.h: removed GMemChunk field from public API.
495 * glib/glist.h: deprecate allocator API, provide _free1() for consistency.
497 * glib/gnode.h: deprecate allocator API.
499 * glib/gmain.c: reordered GPollRec fields so g_slice_free_chain() can
500 be used for poll rec lists.
502 * glib/grel.c: removed mem chunk usage, and allocated tuples via g_slice_*().
503 g_relation_destroy(): free all tuples from the all_tuples hash table,
504 this effectively maintains the life time track keeping of tuples.
505 g_relation_delete_tuple(): free tuples which are removed from the
506 all_tuples hash table. this fixes a temporary leak that was present
507 in the memchunk code until the destruction of the relation.
509 2005-10-29 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
511 * tests/convert-test.c: Add some tests for conversions between
512 UTF-8, UCS-4 and UTF-16.
514 * glib/gutf8.c (g_utf8_to_ucs4, g_utf8_to_utf16): Fix handling
515 of len == -1, noticed by Morten Welinder.
517 2005-10-27 Erdal Ronahi <erdal.ronahi@gmail.com>
519 * configure.in: Added ku (Kurdish) to ALL_LINGUAS
521 2005-10-26 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
523 * glib/gutf8.c (g_ucs4_to_utf8): Don't set items_read twice
524 in the error case, and add some documentation. (#319806, Morten
527 2005-10-19 Manish Singh <yosh@gimp.org>
529 * configure.in: Use AC_CHECK_FUNCS for _NSGetEnviron, to get the
530 config.h symbol automatically. Fixes bug #313731.
532 2005-10-19 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
534 * glib/gwin32.c (g_win32_get_package_installation_directory):
535 Return a g_strdup()ed copy of the value stored in the hash table,
536 so that it can be g_free()d without leaving a dangling pointer in
537 the hash table. (#319232)
539 2005-10-06 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
541 * glib/gunicollate.c (g_utf8_collate_key_for_filename): Handle
542 all-zero sequences correctly. (#317930, Sebastien Bacher)
544 2005-10-05 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
546 * glib/gmarkup.c (g_markup_escape_text): Doc addition
548 * Makefile.am: Add Collation tests.
550 * tests/collate/*: Inputs and expected outputs for collation tests.
552 * tests/run-collate-tests.sh: Script to run collation tests.
554 * tests/unicode-collate.c (main): Rework slightly to make
555 it usable in unit tests. Also test g_utf8_collate_key_for_filename().
557 2005-10-01 Behdad Esfahbod <behdad@gnome.org>
559 * docs/reference/glib/tmpl/unicode.sgml:
560 * glib/gen-unicode-tables.pl:
562 * glib/gunichartables.h:
564 * tests/casefold.txt:
565 * tests/casemap.txt: Updated to Unicode 4.1. There are five new
566 GUnicodeBreakType types. That may break some applications, like
569 2005-09-26 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
571 * glib/gstrfuncs.c (g_ascii_strtoull): Add details to the
572 docs. (#314393, Matthew F. Barnes)
575 * glib/gprintf.h: Remove g_snprintf() and g_vsnprintf(), since
576 they are already declared in glib.h. This doesn't break documented
577 use of gprintf.h, but should probably be pointed out in the
578 release notes for 2.10. (#314232, Behdad Esfahbod)
580 Tue Sep 20 13:16:04 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
582 * glib/gpattern.c (g_pattern_ph_match): applied significant recursion
583 complexity optimization, based on a patch from Matthias Clasen.
585 * tests/patterntest.c: more tests, mostly from matthias.
587 2005-09-20 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
589 * glib/gqueue.c (g_queue_insert_sorted): Correct the docs.
590 (#316703, Mark Drago)
592 Mon Sep 19 17:23:23 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
594 * glib/gpattern.c: applied a patch from matthias which checks on the
595 upper bound of GPatternSpec length to optimize matches.
598 * tests/patterntest.c: added more match cases.
600 2005-09-16 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
602 * glib/gstrfuncs.c (g_ascii_strcasecmp, g_ascii_strncasecmp): Add
603 warning to doc comment that these functions should not be used on
604 encodings like CP932.
606 2005-09-14 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
608 * tests/keyfile-test.c: Add a test for grup names of length 1.
610 * glib/gkeyfile.c (g_key_file_line_is_group): Accept group names
611 of length 1. (#316309)
613 2005-09-12 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
615 * glib/gmarkup.c (g_markup_escape_text): Clarify docs.
617 2005-09-11 Sebastian Wilhelmi <seppi@seppi.de>
619 * tests/refcount/Makefile.am (INCLUDES): Link the the refcount
620 tests to the system thread library $(G_THREAD_LIBS). Fixes #313744
623 2005-09-11 Kjartan Maraas <kmaraas@gnome.org>
625 * glib/gmain.c: (g_child_watch_prepare), (g_child_watch_check),
626 (child_watch_helper_thread): Remove some dead code. Closes
629 2005-09-07 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
631 * glib/Makefile.am: Create also a console version of the
632 gspawn-win32-helper program, gspawn-win32-helper-console.exe.
633 It's otherwise identical to gspawn-win32-helper.exe, except marked
634 as a console application (linked without the -mwindows option).
636 * glib/gspawn-win32.c (do_spawn_directly, do_spawn_with_pipes):
637 Drop the dont_wait parameter. Its truth value correlated 100% with
638 the NULLness of the exit_status parameter anyway, so it's enough
639 to check whether exit_status is NULL. Invert the sense of the
640 dont_return_handle parameter and rename it to do_return_handle, to
641 make the code easier to read by avoiding double negations.
643 (g_spawn_sync_utf8, g_spawn_async_with_pipes_utf8): Modify calls
644 to do_spawn_with_pipes() accordingly.
646 (do_spawn_with_pipes): If we have a console, use the console
647 version of the helper program, otherwise use the GUI one. This
648 avoids extra console windows opening up in some situations. (In
649 case a console application uses the GUI gspawn-win32-helper.exe to
650 spawn another console application we would get a separate console
651 for the spawned console application).
653 * glib-zip.in: Distribute also gspawn-win32-helper-console.exe.
655 2005-09-05 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
657 * glib/gmappedfile.c (g_mapped_file_new): Report an error
658 if the file is too large. (#315275, Kjartan Maraas)
660 * glib/gkeyfile.c (g_key_file_load_from_fd): The return value
661 of read() is signed. (#315273, Kjartan Maraas)
663 2005-08-31 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
665 * glib/gutils.h: Wrapping atexit() is a bad idea on Windows, where
666 the EXE and each DLL have their own atexit function chains.
668 #define g_atexit as atexit instead. This means it has a
669 better chance of doing what the caller wants. For instance,
670 gtkhtml calls g_atexit() registering a function in gtkhtml
671 itself. This caused a crash when g_atexit() was implemented as a
672 function in the GLib DLL. The gtkhtml DLL was already unloaded by
673 the time the GLib DLL got unloaded.
675 * glib/gutils.c: #undef the #define mentioned above, to also get a
676 real g_atexit() into the DLL for backward compatibility. Document
677 the Windows behaviour of g_atexit(), and document the varying ways
678 atexit() can behave in the context of dynamically loaded modules
681 2005-08-31 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
685 * glib/gdataset.c: Add string interning functions.
687 2005-08-28 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
689 * glib/giochannel.c: Unify some near-duplicate strings. (#314654,
692 2005-08-26 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
694 * configure.in: Bump version to 2.9.0
696 2005-08-25 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
698 Make also the g_spawn*() functions take parameters in the GLib
699 file name encoding, i.e. UTF-8, on Windows. Has no impact on Unix
700 API or ABI. Like the other GLib API that was earlier changed to
701 use UTF-8 on Windows, the names of the functions that take UTF-8
702 have _utf8 suffixes added by using preprocessor macros in the
703 header file. The old names are kept for functions with the old
704 behaviour, taking parameters in the system codepage, for DLL ABI
707 * glib/gspawn.h: On Win32 add the suffix _utf8 to the names of the
708 g_spawn*() functions.
710 * glib/gspawn-win32.c: Use wide-char API on NT-based
711 Windows. Convert parameters from UTF-8 to wide chars (NT) or
712 system codepage (Win9x) and call the C library _wspawn*() or
713 spawn*() functions respectvely. Add DLL ABI stability versions
714 that take parameters in the system codepage.
716 * glib/gspawn-win32-helper.c: On NT-based Windows use the
717 wide-char versions of argv and envp, and use wide-char API to
718 change directory and spawn the program to run. Remove the verbose
719 debugging output, it was too complex to modify for the wide-char
720 features. (Just add temporary debugging printouts if needed, no
721 need to have them permanently in the source.)
723 * glib/gspawn.c: Corresponding documentation updates.
725 * glib/glib.symbols: Corresponding changes: Mark the ABI stability
726 symbols as PRIVATE, add the new _utf8-suffixed ones.
728 2005-08-24 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
730 * glib/gtypes.h (G_MININT64): Cast the constant to gint64; it is
731 guint64 otherwise and that can produce warnings about comparison
732 between signed and unsigned.
734 2005-08-23 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
736 * glib/gutils.c: Fix the crt_externs.h include.
738 2005-08-23 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
740 * NEWS: Fix spelling of my first name.
742 2005-08-23 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
746 * === Released 2.8.1 ===
750 2005-08-20 Hans Breuer <hans@breuer.org>
752 * glib/makefile.msc.in : link with ws2_32.lib
754 2005-08-18 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
756 * configure.in: Check for <sys/wait.h>
758 * glib/gbacktrace.c: Include <sys/wait.h> on if HAVE_SYS_WAIT_H.
760 2005-08-18 Ross Burton <ross@burtonini.com>
763 Optimise single-character insertions.
768 * tests/string-test.c:
769 Add tests for new optimisation, and fix a leak.
771 2005-08-17 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
773 * configure.in: Check for crt_externs.h and _NSGetEnviron.
775 * glib/gutils.c: On Darwin, include crt-externs.h and
776 define environ using _NSGetEnviron(). (#313731)
778 2005-08-16 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
780 * glib/gutils.c (g_get_any_init): Move the body of the big if...
781 (g_get_any_init_do): ... to this new function.
782 (g_get_any_init): Declare as inline.
783 (g_get_any_init_locked): New inline function, does the locking.
784 Make use of these two throughout the code.
786 2005-08-15 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
788 * glib/gbacktrace.c (g_on_error_stack_trace): Wait for
789 the child process and then simply return. This makes
790 The "S" option work as documented in g_on_error_query().
791 (#313125, Matthew F. Barnes)
793 * glib/gunicode.h: Update the link to Unicode category
794 values. (#313369, Behnam Esfahbod)
796 * glib/gqueue.c (g_queue_find_custom): Clarify docs
797 a little. (#311727, Tristan van Berkom)
799 * glib/abicheck.sh, gobject/abicheck.sh: Make the
800 check work on ia64 too, where some symbols ended up
801 in yet another section.
