4 * configure.in: Remove support for Solaris threads.
5 (#136971, Sebastian Wilhelmi, patch by Andrew Paprocki)
7 2005-12-02 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
9 * configure.in: Define G_GUINT64_CONSTANT in analogy to
10 G_GINT64_CONSTANT. (#322568, Andrew Paprocki)
12 2005-12-02 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
14 * glib/gslice.c: Win32 portability fixes and C99ism removal,
15 pointed out by Kazuki Iwamoto. (#323052)
17 2005-12-02 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
19 * glib/gatomic.c (g_atomic_int_add): Add a missing volatile for
20 the IA64 implementation.
22 Fri Dec 2 16:18:09 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
24 * glib/gslice.c: some naming and type size fixups.
26 Fri Dec 2 13:08:58 2005 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
28 * glib/gslice.h (g_slice_free): reworked GCC-specific type-safe macro
29 variant into something less verbose, but digestible for gcc-3.4.
31 Fri Dec 2 10:55:07 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
33 * tests/slice-test.c: extended to perform the benchmarking on the old
34 memchunk code if 'O' is selected.
36 * tests/memchunks.c: new file which contains the old GLib mem chunks
37 implementation with prefix old_mem_chunk_.
39 * tests/Makefile.am: added memchunks.c
41 Fri Dec 2 00:16:59 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
43 * glib/gslice.c: improved gettimeofday() timer resolution by maintaining
44 acceptable load distribution of the syscall.
45 (allocator_get_magazine_threshold): reduce minimum/single-thread magazine
46 sizes to approximately page_size/2.5 to avoid excessive startup allocations.
48 2005-12-01 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
50 * tests/gobject/ifacecheck.c (test_iface_base_init): Don't
51 double-free base interface members.
53 * tests/Makefile.am: Remove duplicate variable.
55 Thu Dec 1 17:32:46 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
57 * glib/gslice.[hc]: new slice allocator implementation.
59 * tests/slice-test.c: added random slice allocation test.
61 * glib/gthread.[hc]: removed newly added private thread mem API.
66 * glib/gmem.c: divided glib threading initialisation into three phases,
67 initialisation where private keys and messaging are not available (only
68 needed by gmem.c), initialisation without messaging but private keys
69 available (gslice.c, gmessage.c), and full fledged initialisers that
70 server the rest of glib. initialisation functions got renamed to reflect
71 the limitations of their corresponding phases.
73 * glib/gmem.c: removed memchunk code, defer allocations to
76 * glib/gmem.[hc]: removed g_slice_* skeletons.
78 * glib/glib.symbols: added g_slice_* symbols.
80 * configure.in: check for availability of posix_memalign(3), memalign(3)
83 * glib/Makefile.am: added gslice.[hc].
85 2005-12-01 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
87 * glib/gstdio.c (g_stat): In the Win32 implementation, strip
88 trailing slash(es) for non-root folders. stat() fails if non-root
89 folders are specified with trailing slashes. It's too much hassle
90 to demand that callers strip such slashes themselves, especially
91 as it is easy to get it wrong and strip the slash of a root
93 (g_rename): On NT-based Windows, use MoveFileEx() with
94 MOVEFILE_REPLACE_EXISTING to better match Unix behaviour.
96 2005-11-28 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
98 Fix G_STMT_START / G_STMT_END on Solaris. (#321972,
101 * configure.in: Check whether do { } while (0) works.
103 * glib/gmacros.h: Use do { } while (0) for G_STMT_START /
104 G_STMT_END if it works.
106 2005-11-28 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
108 * glib/gthread.c (g_static_rw_lock_wait, g_static_rw_lock_signal):

111 * glib/ghash.c (g_hash_table_unref, g_hash_table_destroy)
112 (g_hash_table_foreach_remove_or_steal): Silence compiler
115 2005-11-27 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
117 * glib/gunicollate.c (g_utf8_collate_key_for_filename):
118 Don't read beyond len. (#322520, Christian Persch)
120 Wed Nov 23 17:34:01 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
122 * glib/gdataset.c: access datalist flags via atomic pointer access
123 functions, instead of acquiring the dataset lock. this is faster and
124 also matches the atomic pointer readouts in gdatalistprivate.h and
125 direct pointer modifications required by gobject.c.
127 Wed Nov 23 13:35:31 2005 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
129 * glib/gdataset.c: streamlined initialization code somewhat,
130 removed GData node cache.
132 2005-11-22 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
134 * glib/ghash.c (g_hash_table_ref):
135 (g_hash_table_unref): Mark these as new API.
137 Avoid double locking in g_intern_string (#322133,
140 * glib/gdataset.c (g_quark_from_string_internal): New
141 internal function which factors out common parts of
142 g_quark_from[_static]_string.
143 (g_quark_from_string, g_quark_from_static_string):
144 Use g_quark_from_string_internal.
145 (g_intern_string, g_intern_static_string): Use
146 g_quark_from_string_internal, and only take the
148 (g_quark_new): Don't store the strings shifted by -1
149 in the g_quarks array.
150 (g_quark_to_string): Adapt to the previous change.
152 Tue Nov 22 14:04:26 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
156 g_hash_table_new_full(): create hash tables with a ref count of 1.
157 g_hash_table_ref(): atomically ref_count+=1
158 g_hash_table_unref(): atomically ref_count-=1, destroys hash table
159 when refcount reaches 0.
160 g_hash_table_destroy(): just destroy keys and values, unref by 1.
161 g_hash_table_insert():
162 g_hash_table_replace(): assert ref_count>0.
165 * glib/gatomic.c: added 'volatile' qualifier to all atomic pointer and
168 2005-11-20 Behdad Esfahbod <behdad@gnome.org>
170 * glib/guniprop.c (g_unichar_get_mirror_char): Remove unused
171 variables. (#321984, Andrew Paprocki)
173 2005-11-18 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
175 * configure.in: Bump version
177 2005-11-17 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>

181 * glib/glib.symbols: Updates
183 * glib/gutf8.c (g_utf8_offset_to_pointer): Add some performance
184 hints to the docs. (Paolo Borelli)
188 * glib/gthread.c (g_thread_foreach): Mark as new api.
190 * README.in: Updates.
194 * glib/gdate.c (g_date_set_time_t):
195 (g_date_set_time_val): Add functions to set a date from
196 a time_t and from a GTimeVal.
197 (g_date_set_time): Deprecate. (#314067, Roger Leigh)
200 * tests/utf8-pointer.c: Unit tests for g_utf8_pointer_to_offset
201 and g_utf8_offset_to_pointer.
203 * glib/gutf8.c (g_utf8_pointer_to_offset)
204 (g_utf8_offset_to_pointer): Handle negative offsets, and use
205 "stutter stepping" for going backwards. (#320638, Larry
210 * glib/gthread.c: const correctness fixes, found
211 by Arjan van de Ven and gcc.
213 2005-11-16 Behdad Esfahbod <behdad@gnome.org>
215 * docs/reference/glib/tmpl/unicode.sgml: Correct typo on mentioning
216 @G_UNICODE_BREAK_UNKNOWN that should be #G_UNICODE_BREAK_UNKNOWN.
218 2005-11-09 Behdad Esfahbod <behdad@gnome.org>
220 * glib/guniprop.c: Use bit hacks instead when checking a general
221 category value against multiple values.
223 * glib/gutf8.c: Change ISO10646 to Unicode in docs.
225 2005-11-10 Simos Xenitellis <simos@gnome.org>
227 * configure.in: Added tt (Tatar) to ALL_LINGUAS.
229 2005-11-05 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
231 * glib/giowin32.c (g_io_win32_set_flags): Don't call g_warning().
232 (#320688) Instead set error and return failure.
234 2005-11-07 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
236 * glib/gmain.c (g_main_dispatch): Don't call cb_funcs->unref
237 while holding the context lock. (#320886, Andy Wingo)
239 2005-11-07 Billy Biggs <vektor@dumbterm.net>
241 * tests/refcount/Makefile.am: Add a missing reference to libglib
242 in the LDADD for this test.
244 2005-11-07 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
246 * glib/gmem.c (g_allocator_new): We need to set n_preallocs to a
247 nonzero value, otherwise GTK+ 2.8 breaks when compiled against
248 GLib 2.9. (#320755, Luca Ferretti)
250 2005-11-04 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
252 * glib/Makefile.am: Apply a patch from Behdad Esfahbod to
253 use a faster lookup table for g_unichar_get_mirror_char().
254 * glib/gmirroringtable.h: The new table.
255 * glib/gunichartables.h: Remove bidi_mirroring_table.
256 * glib/gen-unicode-tables.pl: Don't generate the mirroring
258 * glib/glib-mirroring-tab/*: Sources for the program
259 which generated gmirroringtable.h.
261 * glib/glist.c: Avoid some code duplication.
263 * glib/gscanner.h: Include gdataset.h. (#320322)
265 * glib/gdebug.h: add new GDebugFlag for fatal_criticals
266 * glib/gmessages.c: (_g_debug_init): handle G_DEBUG=fatal_criticals,
267 to help find critical warnings in applications. (#320017,
270 2005-11-02 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
272 * glib/glib.symbols: Remove large amount of trailing whitespace
273 from one line. Remove #ifdef G_UNDEFINED from around
274 g_hash_table_new and g_hash_table_new_full symbols, what was the
275 purpose of that? Add the g_slice functions.
277 Tue Nov 1 16:24:20 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
279 * glib/gmem.[hc]: prepared deprecation of GMemChunk and GAllocator.
280 added g_slice_*() API to allocate and cache small bits of memory.
281 an actuall allocator implementation for g_slice_*() is still pending.
283 * glib/gthread.[hc]: changes from a patch by Matthias Clasen.
284 changed GRealThread list to use in-structure *next; fields instead
285 of GSList, in order for thread iteration to not depenend on g_slice_*()
287 _g_thread_mem_private_get():
288 _g_thread_mem_private_set(): added accessors for private memory,
289 needed because the ordinary GPrivate implementation relies on GArray
290 and GSList and therefore indirectly on working g_slice_*() allocations.
293 g_thread_foreach(): new public API function to loop over all existing threads.
307 removed GAllocator and free list usages and accompanying locks.
308 use g_slice_*() API to allocate and cache small bits of memory.
310 * glib/ghook.h: removed GMemChunk field from public API.
313 * glib/glist.h: deprecate allocator API, provide _free1() for consistency.
315 * glib/gnode.h: deprecate allocator API.
317 * glib/gmain.c: reordered GPollRec fields so g_slice_free_chain() can
318 be used for poll rec lists.
320 * glib/grel.c: removed mem chunk usage, and allocated tuples via g_slice_*().
321 g_relation_destroy(): free all tuples from the all_tuples hash table,
322 this effectively maintains the life time track keeping of tuples.
323 g_relation_delete_tuple(): free tuples which are removed from the
324 all_tuples hash table. this fixes a temporary leak that was present
325 in the memchunk code until the destruction of the relation.
327 2005-10-29 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
329 * tests/convert-test.c: Add some tests for conversions between
330 UTF-8, UCS-4 and UTF-16.
332 * glib/gutf8.c (g_utf8_to_ucs4, g_utf8_to_utf16): Fix handling
333 of len == -1, noticed by Morten Welinder.
335 2005-10-27 Erdal Ronahi <erdal.ronahi@gmail.com>
337 * configure.in: Added ku (Kurdish) to ALL_LINGUAS
339 2005-10-26 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
341 * glib/gutf8.c (g_ucs4_to_utf8): Don't set items_read twice
342 in the error case, and add some documentation. (#319806, Morten
345 2005-10-19 Manish Singh <yosh@gimp.org>
347 * configure.in: Use AC_CHECK_FUNCS for _NSGetEnviron, to get the
348 config.h symbol automatically. Fixes bug #313731.
350 2005-10-19 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
352 * glib/gwin32.c (g_win32_get_package_installation_directory):
353 Return a g_strdup()ed copy of the value stored in the hash table,
354 so that it can be g_free()d without leaving a dangling pointer in
355 the hash table. (#319232)
357 2005-10-06 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
359 * glib/gunicollate.c (g_utf8_collate_key_for_filename): Handle
360 all-zero sequences correctly. (#317930, Sebastien Bacher)
362 2005-10-05 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
364 * glib/gmarkup.c (g_markup_escape_text): Doc addition
366 * Makefile.am: Add Collation tests.
368 * tests/collate/*: Inputs and expected outputs for collation tests.
370 * tests/run-collate-tests.sh: Script to run collation tests.
372 * tests/unicode-collate.c (main): Rework slightly to make
373 it usable in unit tests. Also test g_utf8_collate_key_for_filename().
375 2005-10-01 Behdad Esfahbod <behdad@gnome.org>
377 * docs/reference/glib/tmpl/unicode.sgml:
378 * glib/gen-unicode-tables.pl:
380 * glib/gunichartables.h:
382 * tests/casefold.txt:
383 * tests/casemap.txt: Updated to Unicode 4.1. There are five new
384 GUnicodeBreakType types. That may break some applications, like
387 2005-09-26 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
389 * glib/gstrfuncs.c (g_ascii_strtoull): Add details to the
390 docs. (#314393, Matthew F. Barnes)
393 * glib/gprintf.h: Remove g_snprintf() and g_vsnprintf(), since
394 they are already declared in glib.h. This doesn't break documented
395 use of gprintf.h, but should probably be pointed out in the
396 release notes for 2.10. (#314232, Behdad Esfahbod)
398 Tue Sep 20 13:16:04 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
400 * glib/gpattern.c (g_pattern_ph_match): applied significant recursion
401 complexity optimization, based on a patch from Matthias Clasen.
403 * tests/patterntest.c: more tests, mostly from matthias.
405 2005-09-20 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
407 * glib/gqueue.c (g_queue_insert_sorted): Correct the docs.
408 (#316703, Mark Drago)
410 Mon Sep 19 17:23:23 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
412 * glib/gpattern.c: applied a patch from matthias which checks on the
413 upper bound of GPatternSpec length to optimize matches.
416 * tests/patterntest.c: added more match cases.
418 2005-09-16 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
420 * glib/gstrfuncs.c (g_ascii_strcasecmp, g_ascii_strncasecmp): Add
421 warning to doc comment that these functions should not be used on
422 encodings like CP932.
424 2005-09-14 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
426 * tests/keyfile-test.c: Add a test for grup names of length 1.
428 * glib/gkeyfile.c (g_key_file_line_is_group): Accept group names
429 of length 1. (#316309)
431 2005-09-12 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
433 * glib/gmarkup.c (g_markup_escape_text): Clarify docs.
435 2005-09-11 Sebastian Wilhelmi <seppi@seppi.de>
437 * tests/refcount/Makefile.am (INCLUDES): Link the the refcount
438 tests to the system thread library $(G_THREAD_LIBS). Fixes #313744
441 2005-09-11 Kjartan Maraas <kmaraas@gnome.org>
443 * glib/gmain.c: (g_child_watch_prepare), (g_child_watch_check),
444 (child_watch_helper_thread): Remove some dead code. Closes
447 2005-09-07 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
449 * glib/Makefile.am: Create also a console version of the
450 gspawn-win32-helper program, gspawn-win32-helper-console.exe.
451 It's otherwise identical to gspawn-win32-helper.exe, except marked
452 as a console application (linked without the -mwindows option).
454 * glib/gspawn-win32.c (do_spawn_directly, do_spawn_with_pipes):
455 Drop the dont_wait parameter. Its truth value correlated 100% with
456 the NULLness of the exit_status parameter anyway, so it's enough
457 to check whether exit_status is NULL. Invert the sense of the
458 dont_return_handle parameter and rename it to do_return_handle, to
459 make the code easier to read by avoiding double negations.
461 (g_spawn_sync_utf8, g_spawn_async_with_pipes_utf8): Modify calls
462 to do_spawn_with_pipes() accordingly.
464 (do_spawn_with_pipes): If we have a console, use the console
465 version of the helper program, otherwise use the GUI one. This
466 avoids extra console windows opening up in some situations. (In
467 case a console application uses the GUI gspawn-win32-helper.exe to
468 spawn another console application we would get a separate console
469 for the spawned console application).
471 * glib-zip.in: Distribute also gspawn-win32-helper-console.exe.
473 2005-09-05 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
475 * glib/gmappedfile.c (g_mapped_file_new): Report an error
476 if the file is too large. (#315275, Kjartan Maraas)
478 * glib/gkeyfile.c (g_key_file_load_from_fd): The return value
479 of read() is signed. (#315273, Kjartan Maraas)
481 2005-08-31 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
483 * glib/gutils.h: Wrapping atexit() is a bad idea on Windows, where
484 the EXE and each DLL have their own atexit function chains.
486 #define g_atexit as atexit instead. This means it has a
487 better chance of doing what the caller wants. For instance,
488 gtkhtml calls g_atexit() registering a function in gtkhtml
489 itself. This caused a crash when g_atexit() was implemented as a
490 function in the GLib DLL. The gtkhtml DLL was already unloaded by
491 the time the GLib DLL got unloaded.
493 * glib/gutils.c: #undef the #define mentioned above, to also get a
494 real g_atexit() into the DLL for backward compatibility. Document
495 the Windows behaviour of g_atexit(), and document the varying ways
496 atexit() can behave in the context of dynamically loaded modules
499 2005-08-31 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
503 * glib/gdataset.c: Add string interning functions.
505 2005-08-28 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
507 * glib/giochannel.c: Unify some near-duplicate strings. (#314654,
510 2005-08-26 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
512 * configure.in: Bump version to 2.9.0
514 2005-08-25 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
516 Make also the g_spawn*() functions take parameters in the GLib
517 file name encoding, i.e. UTF-8, on Windows. Has no impact on Unix
518 API or ABI. Like the other GLib API that was earlier changed to
519 use UTF-8 on Windows, the names of the functions that take UTF-8
520 have _utf8 suffixes added by using preprocessor macros in the
521 header file. The old names are kept for functions with the old
522 behaviour, taking parameters in the system codepage, for DLL ABI
525 * glib/gspawn.h: On Win32 add the suffix _utf8 to the names of the
526 g_spawn*() functions.
528 * glib/gspawn-win32.c: Use wide-char API on NT-based
529 Windows. Convert parameters from UTF-8 to wide chars (NT) or
530 system codepage (Win9x) and call the C library _wspawn*() or
531 spawn*() functions respectvely. Add DLL ABI stability versions
532 that take parameters in the system codepage.
534 * glib/gspawn-win32-helper.c: On NT-based Windows use the
535 wide-char versions of argv and envp, and use wide-char API to
536 change directory and spawn the program to run. Remove the verbose
537 debugging output, it was too complex to modify for the wide-char
538 features. (Just add temporary debugging printouts if needed, no
539 need to have them permanently in the source.)
541 * glib/gspawn.c: Corresponding documentation updates.
543 * glib/glib.symbols: Corresponding changes: Mark the ABI stability
544 symbols as PRIVATE, add the new _utf8-suffixed ones.
546 2005-08-24 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
548 * glib/gtypes.h (G_MININT64): Cast the constant to gint64; it is
549 guint64 otherwise and that can produce warnings about comparison
550 between signed and unsigned.
552 2005-08-23 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
554 * glib/gutils.c: Fix the crt_externs.h include.
556 2005-08-23 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
558 * NEWS: Fix spelling of my first name.
560 2005-08-23 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
564 * === Released 2.8.1 ===
568 2005-08-20 Hans Breuer <hans@breuer.org>
570 * glib/makefile.msc.in : link with ws2_32.lib
572 2005-08-18 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
574 * configure.in: Check for <sys/wait.h>
576 * glib/gbacktrace.c: Include <sys/wait.h> on if HAVE_SYS_WAIT_H.
578 2005-08-18 Ross Burton <ross@burtonini.com>
581 Optimise single-character insertions.
586 * tests/string-test.c:
587 Add tests for new optimisation, and fix a leak.
589 2005-08-17 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
