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

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

192 * README.in: Updates.
196 * glib/gdate.c (g_date_set_time_t):
197 (g_date_set_time_val): Add functions to set a date from
198 a time_t and from a GTimeVal.
199 (g_date_set_time): Deprecate. (#314067, Roger Leigh)
202 * tests/utf8-pointer.c: Unit tests for g_utf8_pointer_to_offset
203 and g_utf8_offset_to_pointer.
205 * glib/gutf8.c (g_utf8_pointer_to_offset)
206 (g_utf8_offset_to_pointer): Handle negative offsets, and use
207 "stutter stepping" for going backwards. (#320638, Larry
212 * glib/gthread.c: const correctness fixes, found
213 by Arjan van de Ven and gcc.
215 2005-11-16 Behdad Esfahbod <behdad@gnome.org>
217 * docs/reference/glib/tmpl/unicode.sgml: Correct typo on mentioning
218 @G_UNICODE_BREAK_UNKNOWN that should be #G_UNICODE_BREAK_UNKNOWN.
220 2005-11-09 Behdad Esfahbod <behdad@gnome.org>
222 * glib/guniprop.c: Use bit hacks instead when checking a general
223 category value against multiple values.
225 * glib/gutf8.c: Change ISO10646 to Unicode in docs.
227 2005-11-10 Simos Xenitellis <simos@gnome.org>
229 * configure.in: Added tt (Tatar) to ALL_LINGUAS.
231 2005-11-05 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
233 * glib/giowin32.c (g_io_win32_set_flags): Don't call g_warning().
234 (#320688) Instead set error and return failure.
236 2005-11-07 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
238 * glib/gmain.c (g_main_dispatch): Don't call cb_funcs->unref
239 while holding the context lock. (#320886, Andy Wingo)
241 2005-11-07 Billy Biggs <vektor@dumbterm.net>
243 * tests/refcount/Makefile.am: Add a missing reference to libglib
244 in the LDADD for this test.
246 2005-11-07 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
248 * glib/gmem.c (g_allocator_new): We need to set n_preallocs to a
249 nonzero value, otherwise GTK+ 2.8 breaks when compiled against
250 GLib 2.9. (#320755, Luca Ferretti)
252 2005-11-04 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
254 * glib/Makefile.am: Apply a patch from Behdad Esfahbod to
255 use a faster lookup table for g_unichar_get_mirror_char().
256 * glib/gmirroringtable.h: The new table.
257 * glib/gunichartables.h: Remove bidi_mirroring_table.
258 * glib/gen-unicode-tables.pl: Don't generate the mirroring
260 * glib/glib-mirroring-tab/*: Sources for the program
261 which generated gmirroringtable.h.
263 * glib/glist.c: Avoid some code duplication.
265 * glib/gscanner.h: Include gdataset.h. (#320322)
267 * glib/gdebug.h: add new GDebugFlag for fatal_criticals
268 * glib/gmessages.c: (_g_debug_init): handle G_DEBUG=fatal_criticals,
269 to help find critical warnings in applications. (#320017,
272 2005-11-02 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
274 * glib/glib.symbols: Remove large amount of trailing whitespace
275 from one line. Remove #ifdef G_UNDEFINED from around
276 g_hash_table_new and g_hash_table_new_full symbols, what was the
277 purpose of that? Add the g_slice functions.
279 Tue Nov 1 16:24:20 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
281 * glib/gmem.[hc]: prepared deprecation of GMemChunk and GAllocator.
282 added g_slice_*() API to allocate and cache small bits of memory.
283 an actuall allocator implementation for g_slice_*() is still pending.
285 * glib/gthread.[hc]: changes from a patch by Matthias Clasen.
286 changed GRealThread list to use in-structure *next; fields instead
287 of GSList, in order for thread iteration to not depenend on g_slice_*()
289 _g_thread_mem_private_get():
290 _g_thread_mem_private_set(): added accessors for private memory,
291 needed because the ordinary GPrivate implementation relies on GArray
292 and GSList and therefore indirectly on working g_slice_*() allocations.
295 g_thread_foreach(): new public API function to loop over all existing threads.
309 removed GAllocator and free list usages and accompanying locks.
310 use g_slice_*() API to allocate and cache small bits of memory.
312 * glib/ghook.h: removed GMemChunk field from public API.
315 * glib/glist.h: deprecate allocator API, provide _free1() for consistency.
317 * glib/gnode.h: deprecate allocator API.
319 * glib/gmain.c: reordered GPollRec fields so g_slice_free_chain() can
320 be used for poll rec lists.
322 * glib/grel.c: removed mem chunk usage, and allocated tuples via g_slice_*().
323 g_relation_destroy(): free all tuples from the all_tuples hash table,
324 this effectively maintains the life time track keeping of tuples.
325 g_relation_delete_tuple(): free tuples which are removed from the
326 all_tuples hash table. this fixes a temporary leak that was present
327 in the memchunk code until the destruction of the relation.
329 2005-10-29 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
331 * tests/convert-test.c: Add some tests for conversions between
332 UTF-8, UCS-4 and UTF-16.
334 * glib/gutf8.c (g_utf8_to_ucs4, g_utf8_to_utf16): Fix handling
335 of len == -1, noticed by Morten Welinder.
337 2005-10-27 Erdal Ronahi <erdal.ronahi@gmail.com>
339 * configure.in: Added ku (Kurdish) to ALL_LINGUAS
341 2005-10-26 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
343 * glib/gutf8.c (g_ucs4_to_utf8): Don't set items_read twice
344 in the error case, and add some documentation. (#319806, Morten
347 2005-10-19 Manish Singh <yosh@gimp.org>
349 * configure.in: Use AC_CHECK_FUNCS for _NSGetEnviron, to get the
350 config.h symbol automatically. Fixes bug #313731.
352 2005-10-19 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
354 * glib/gwin32.c (g_win32_get_package_installation_directory):
355 Return a g_strdup()ed copy of the value stored in the hash table,
356 so that it can be g_free()d without leaving a dangling pointer in
357 the hash table. (#319232)
359 2005-10-06 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
361 * glib/gunicollate.c (g_utf8_collate_key_for_filename): Handle
362 all-zero sequences correctly. (#317930, Sebastien Bacher)
364 2005-10-05 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
366 * glib/gmarkup.c (g_markup_escape_text): Doc addition
368 * Makefile.am: Add Collation tests.
370 * tests/collate/*: Inputs and expected outputs for collation tests.
372 * tests/run-collate-tests.sh: Script to run collation tests.
374 * tests/unicode-collate.c (main): Rework slightly to make
375 it usable in unit tests. Also test g_utf8_collate_key_for_filename().
377 2005-10-01 Behdad Esfahbod <behdad@gnome.org>
379 * docs/reference/glib/tmpl/unicode.sgml:
380 * glib/gen-unicode-tables.pl:
382 * glib/gunichartables.h:
384 * tests/casefold.txt:
385 * tests/casemap.txt: Updated to Unicode 4.1. There are five new
386 GUnicodeBreakType types. That may break some applications, like
389 2005-09-26 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
391 * glib/gstrfuncs.c (g_ascii_strtoull): Add details to the
392 docs. (#314393, Matthew F. Barnes)
395 * glib/gprintf.h: Remove g_snprintf() and g_vsnprintf(), since
396 they are already declared in glib.h. This doesn't break documented
397 use of gprintf.h, but should probably be pointed out in the
398 release notes for 2.10. (#314232, Behdad Esfahbod)
400 Tue Sep 20 13:16:04 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
402 * glib/gpattern.c (g_pattern_ph_match): applied significant recursion
403 complexity optimization, based on a patch from Matthias Clasen.
405 * tests/patterntest.c: more tests, mostly from matthias.
407 2005-09-20 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
409 * glib/gqueue.c (g_queue_insert_sorted): Correct the docs.
410 (#316703, Mark Drago)
412 Mon Sep 19 17:23:23 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
414 * glib/gpattern.c: applied a patch from matthias which checks on the
415 upper bound of GPatternSpec length to optimize matches.
418 * tests/patterntest.c: added more match cases.
420 2005-09-16 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
422 * glib/gstrfuncs.c (g_ascii_strcasecmp, g_ascii_strncasecmp): Add
423 warning to doc comment that these functions should not be used on
424 encodings like CP932.
426 2005-09-14 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
428 * tests/keyfile-test.c: Add a test for grup names of length 1.
430 * glib/gkeyfile.c (g_key_file_line_is_group): Accept group names
431 of length 1. (#316309)
433 2005-09-12 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
435 * glib/gmarkup.c (g_markup_escape_text): Clarify docs.
437 2005-09-11 Sebastian Wilhelmi <seppi@seppi.de>
439 * tests/refcount/Makefile.am (INCLUDES): Link the the refcount
440 tests to the system thread library $(G_THREAD_LIBS). Fixes #313744
443 2005-09-11 Kjartan Maraas <kmaraas@gnome.org>
445 * glib/gmain.c: (g_child_watch_prepare), (g_child_watch_check),
446 (child_watch_helper_thread): Remove some dead code. Closes
449 2005-09-07 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
451 * glib/Makefile.am: Create also a console version of the
452 gspawn-win32-helper program, gspawn-win32-helper-console.exe.
453 It's otherwise identical to gspawn-win32-helper.exe, except marked
454 as a console application (linked without the -mwindows option).
456 * glib/gspawn-win32.c (do_spawn_directly, do_spawn_with_pipes):
457 Drop the dont_wait parameter. Its truth value correlated 100% with
458 the NULLness of the exit_status parameter anyway, so it's enough
459 to check whether exit_status is NULL. Invert the sense of the
460 dont_return_handle parameter and rename it to do_return_handle, to
461 make the code easier to read by avoiding double negations.
463 (g_spawn_sync_utf8, g_spawn_async_with_pipes_utf8): Modify calls
464 to do_spawn_with_pipes() accordingly.
466 (do_spawn_with_pipes): If we have a console, use the console
467 version of the helper program, otherwise use the GUI one. This
468 avoids extra console windows opening up in some situations. (In
469 case a console application uses the GUI gspawn-win32-helper.exe to
470 spawn another console application we would get a separate console
471 for the spawned console application).
473 * glib-zip.in: Distribute also gspawn-win32-helper-console.exe.
475 2005-09-05 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
477 * glib/gmappedfile.c (g_mapped_file_new): Report an error
478 if the file is too large. (#315275, Kjartan Maraas)
480 * glib/gkeyfile.c (g_key_file_load_from_fd): The return value
481 of read() is signed. (#315273, Kjartan Maraas)
483 2005-08-31 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
485 * glib/gutils.h: Wrapping atexit() is a bad idea on Windows, where
486 the EXE and each DLL have their own atexit function chains.
488 #define g_atexit as atexit instead. This means it has a
489 better chance of doing what the caller wants. For instance,
490 gtkhtml calls g_atexit() registering a function in gtkhtml
491 itself. This caused a crash when g_atexit() was implemented as a
492 function in the GLib DLL. The gtkhtml DLL was already unloaded by
493 the time the GLib DLL got unloaded.
495 * glib/gutils.c: #undef the #define mentioned above, to also get a
496 real g_atexit() into the DLL for backward compatibility. Document
497 the Windows behaviour of g_atexit(), and document the varying ways
498 atexit() can behave in the context of dynamically loaded modules
501 2005-08-31 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
505 * glib/gdataset.c: Add string interning functions.
507 2005-08-28 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
509 * glib/giochannel.c: Unify some near-duplicate strings. (#314654,
512 2005-08-26 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
514 * configure.in: Bump version to 2.9.0
516 2005-08-25 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
518 Make also the g_spawn*() functions take parameters in the GLib
519 file name encoding, i.e. UTF-8, on Windows. Has no impact on Unix
520 API or ABI. Like the other GLib API that was earlier changed to
521 use UTF-8 on Windows, the names of the functions that take UTF-8
522 have _utf8 suffixes added by using preprocessor macros in the
523 header file. The old names are kept for functions with the old
524 behaviour, taking parameters in the system codepage, for DLL ABI
527 * glib/gspawn.h: On Win32 add the suffix _utf8 to the names of the
528 g_spawn*() functions.
530 * glib/gspawn-win32.c: Use wide-char API on NT-based
531 Windows. Convert parameters from UTF-8 to wide chars (NT) or
532 system codepage (Win9x) and call the C library _wspawn*() or
533 spawn*() functions respectvely. Add DLL ABI stability versions
534 that take parameters in the system codepage.
536 * glib/gspawn-win32-helper.c: On NT-based Windows use the
537 wide-char versions of argv and envp, and use wide-char API to
538 change directory and spawn the program to run. Remove the verbose
539 debugging output, it was too complex to modify for the wide-char
540 features. (Just add temporary debugging printouts if needed, no
541 need to have them permanently in the source.)
543 * glib/gspawn.c: Corresponding documentation updates.
545 * glib/glib.symbols: Corresponding changes: Mark the ABI stability
546 symbols as PRIVATE, add the new _utf8-suffixed ones.
548 2005-08-24 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
550 * glib/gtypes.h (G_MININT64): Cast the constant to gint64; it is
551 guint64 otherwise and that can produce warnings about comparison
552 between signed and unsigned.
554 2005-08-23 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
556 * glib/gutils.c: Fix the crt_externs.h include.
558 2005-08-23 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
560 * NEWS: Fix spelling of my first name.
562 2005-08-23 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
566 * === Released 2.8.1 ===
570 2005-08-20 Hans Breuer <hans@breuer.org>

589 Add tests for new optimisation, and fix a leak.
591 2005-08-17 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
