3 * glib/gslice.c: honour g_mem_gc_friendly settings when freeing
4 slices, make sure g_mem_gc_friendly is properly initialized.
6 * gmem.[hc]: ensure g_mem_gc_friendly is initialized from G_DEBUG upon
7 the first allocation. applied some branching optimizations.
9 * docs/macros.txt: reflected --enable-gc-friendly change and
10 described ENABLE_GC_FRIENDLY_DEFAULT as well as G_DEBUG=gc-friendly.
12 * configure.in: changed --enable-gc-friendly=yes to define
13 ENABLE_GC_FRIENDLY_DEFAULT.
15 * glib/garray.c: changed ENABLE_GC_FRIENDLY macro #ifdef-s to
16 if (G_UNLIKELY (g_mem_gc_friendly)).
19 * glib/ghash.c: removed ENABLE_GC_FRIENDLY code which is now taken
20 care of by g_slice_free1().
22 * tests/slice-test.c: fixed leaks, reported by Kjartan Maraas.
24 Tue Jan 24 17:49:36 2006 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
26 * glib/gslice.c: only use posix_memalign() if it's known to work,
27 revert to memalign() otherwise.
29 * configure.in: check for broken posix_memalign() implementations
32 2006-01-24 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
34 * tests/unicode-encoding.c: Use UTF-16LE as target encoding
35 on all little-endian systems. (#143380, Marc Moorcroft)
37 2006-01-23 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
39 * configure.in: Change the shared libary extension for hpux-ia64
40 to so. (#328253, The Written Word)
42 Mon Jan 23 17:30:33 2006 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
44 * glib/gutils.c (_g_getenv_nomalloc): wiped out all the wonderfull
45 G_OS_WIN32 code i wrote ;-[) after tml told me windows has getenv()
48 Mon Jan 23 16:46:20 2006 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
50 * glib/gslice.c (slice_config_init): initialize GSlice config from
51 G_SLICE environment variable. we support G_SLICE=always-malloc
52 currently, which forces all g_slice_*() allocations to use the system
56 g_parse_debug_string(): added a note about not using g_malloc() here.
57 _g_getenv_nomalloc(): getenv() variant that doesn't use g_malloc or
58 g_slice. contains only guesswork in the WIN32 branch.

71 call. (#327421, Morten Welinder)
73 2006-01-17 Sebastian Wilhelmi <seppi@seppi.de>
75 * glib/gthreadpool.c: To avoid deadlocks get rid of the settings
76 G_LOCK. Use the unused_thread_queue lock instead. Change
77 g_thread_pool_thread_proxy such that threads only wait on
78 non-exlusive pools for at most a 1/2 second. Do not reorder tasks
79 due to superfluous tasks. Global tasks wait at most for
80 max-idle-time milliseconds. Make sure, that no task is woken up
81 twice for the same event via a wakeup_serial. This fixes #324228.
83 * tests/threadpool-test.c: Adapt test accordingly. Do not pass
84 invalid NULL into the thread pools. This as well fixes #327290.

99 Signal waiting threads, problem noticed by Christian Kellner.
101 2006-01-16 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
103 Fix bug 326747, Alberto Ruiz:
105 * glib/gconvert.c (make_valid_utf8): Change this function to
106 replace unknown characters by the Unicode replacement character
107 instead of '?', and don't append "(invalid encoding)".
108 (g_filename_display_name, g_filename_display_basename): Document
109 how to determine if the filename was in an invalid encoding.
111 2006-01-14 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>

142 G_TYPE_INSTANCE_GET_CLASS() does behave different during
145 2006-01-06 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
147 * glib/gslice.c: Only define _XOPEN_SOURCE if we know
148 that we have posix_memalign(). (#323937, Bogdan Nicula)

194 - Added new API g_thread_pool_get_idle_time() and
195 g_thread_pool_set_idle_time(). (#324228).
197 * tests/threadpool-test.c:
198 - Updated test case to do thread pool sorting, thread pool with

217 * glib/gstdio.c (g_rmdir): Don't provide g_rmdir() as a macro
218 expanding to rmdir, since rmdir is not declared in a portable
219 system header we can include in gstdio.h. (#325249, Jani Monoses)
221 2006-01-01 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
223 * glib/gspawn-win32.c (g_spawn_sync_utf8): Set the GIOChannels for
224 stdout and stderr to unbuffered. Otherwise the giochannel layer
225 will try to read from them regardless whether the
226 g_io_channel_win32_poll() call here has indicated
227 readability or not. (#325310)
229 2005-12-29 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
231 * glib/gutils.c (glib_check_version): Fix a copy-and-paste error
232 in the docs. (#325273, Declan Naughton)
234 2005-12-27 Manish Singh <yosh@gimp.org>
236 * tests/run-collate-tests.sh: use LC_ALL instead of LC_COLLATE, to
237 make sure we really override things.

279 * glib/gthreadpool.h:
280 * glib/gthreadpool.c (g_thread_pool_set_sort_function): New function
281 to sort tasks pushed into a threadpool. (#324479, Martyn Russell)
283 * tests/threadpool-test.c: Test this.
285 Tue Dec 20 18:14:14 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
287 * glib/gslice.[hc]: added mem_error() and mem_assert() to test and
288 handle errors without depending on gmessage.c which might not be
289 setup when the error occours.
290 removed G_SLICE_CONFIG_ALWAYS_FREE config option, fixed the code so
291 always freeing can be achieved by adjusting the working set time to
292 0 with G_SLICE_CONFIG_WORKING_SET_MSECS.
293 added G_SLICE_CONFIG_COLOR_INCREMENT to test different color increments
294 (mainly 0 and 1). reduced the minimum block size to 128 bytes, to
295 minimize wastage if small amounts of differently sized structrues are
296 allocated, this does come at a performance cost of roughly 5% though.
297 fixed up block alignment calculation, so it works for varying
298 block sizes. only use strerror() not g_strerror() since the latter
299 depends on working GQuark and GSlice.
300 mem_error(): implemented in terms of fprintf and vfprintf.
302 * tests/slice-color.c: new program to test cache colorization effects.
304 * tests/slice-test.c: trade G_SLICE_CONFIG_ALWAYS_FREE for 0 duration
305 G_SLICE_CONFIG_WORKING_SET_MSECS.
307 2005-12-17 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>

310 failure cases. (#324332, Tim-Philipp Müller)
312 2005-12-17 Sebastian Wilhelmi <seppi@seppi.de>
314 * glib/gatomic.c: Fix memory barrier position in g_atomic_int_get
315 and g_atomic_pointer_get. Add g_atomic_int_set and
316 g_atomic_pointer_set implementations for the !DEFINE_WITH_MUTEXES &&
317 G_ATOMIC_OP_MEMORY_BARRIER_NEEDED case, as well as defining them
318 as functions (additionally to the macros in the header) for the
319 !G_ATOMIC_OP_MEMORY_BARRIER_NEEDED case.
321 2005-12-16 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
323 * glib/gmem.c (g_allocator_new): Don't return a pointer to
324 a const struct, since apps expect to be able to modify it.
325 (#324179, J. Ali Harlow)
327 Tue Dec 13 10:13:32 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
329 * glib/gatomic.h: added g_atomic_pointer_set() and g_atomic_int_set()
330 for systems where the initialization of atomic variables requires a
331 write memory barrier.
333 2005-12-09 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>

352 * glib/gasyncqueue.c:
353 - Call g_queue_insert_sorted() instead of duplicating the code.
354 - Call g_queue_sort() instead of duplicating the code.
355 - Invert sort function results to make sure the same sort function
356 gives the same results across glist, gslist, gqueue and
359 * tests/asyncqueue-test.c:
360 - Updated the sort function to reflect the example in the
361 documentation for gasyncqueue.c.
363 2005-12-07 Martyn Russell <martyn@imendio.com>
365 * docs/reference/glib/glib-sections.txt:
366 * docs/reference/glib/tmpl/linked_lists_double.sgml:
367 * docs/reference/glib/tmpl/linked_lists_single.sgml:
370 - Added g_list_insert_sorted_with_data () and
371 g_slist_insert_sorted_with_data ().
372 - Removed the extra check in g_list_sort() and g_slist_sort() for
373 GCompareDataFunc vs. GCompareFunc.
375 2005-12-07 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
377 * glib-gettextize.in: Look up prefix at run-time on Win32,
378 assuming the standard directory structure with glib-gettextize in
381 2005-12-06 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
383 * glib/gmem.h: Exempt GTK+ from the mem chunk deprecation, since
384 we need GTK+ 2.8 to compile against GLib 2.10.
386 2005-12-05 Manish Singh <yosh@gimp.org>
388 * tests/run-collate-test.sh: set LC_COLLATE, not LANG, to be sure
389 to override any user settings.

397 * glib/gutf8.c: Documentation updates. (#323291, Morten Welinder)
399 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT):
400 * tests/gobject/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Set
401 MALLOC_CHECK_ and MALLOC_PERTURB_

415 2005-12-05 Martyn Russell <martyn@imendio.com>
417 * docs/reference/glib/glib-sections.txt:
418 * glib/gasyncqueue.[ch]:
419 - Added support for sorting async queues by with _push_sorted(),
420 _push_sorted_unlocked(), _sort() and _sort_unlocked() (#323047).
423 * tests/asyncqueue-test.c:
424 - Added test case for gasyncqueue.c
426 Mon Dec 5 15:53:20 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
428 * glib/gslice.c: implement chain walking for arbitrary ->next pointer
429 offsets in g_slice_free_chain_with_offset() based on a patch by behdad
430 in bug 323178. moved time consuming logic from g_slice_free() out of
431 the inner loop, so g_slice_free_chain_with_offset() provides a real
432 performance benefit over g_slice_free1() now.
434 * glib/gslice.h: renamed g_slice_free_chain() to
435 g_slice_free_chain_with_offset(). implemented g_slice_free_chain() as
436 a type-safe macro as suggested in bug 323178.
437 simplified the macro implementation of g_slice_free() and implemented
438 it in a type safe manner for all compliers as suggested by Morten
439 Welinder <mortenw@gnome.org>.
444 * glib/glib.symbols: s/g_slice_free_chain/g_slice_free_chain_with_offset/

462 Handle multiple user names with the same UID better.
463 (#319535, Laszlo Peter)
465 * glib/gutils.c (g_get_any_init_do): When determining user
466 data, first look up $LOGNAME. If the UID doesn't match
467 getuid(), fall back to the current behaviour of looking
468 up the user data based on getuid().
470 2005-12-04 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
472 * glib/gmacros.h (G_GNUC_WARN_UNUSED_RESULT): Add a macro
473 to make gcc warn if a function result is ignored. (#145466,
474 Arjan van de Ven, Alex Larsson)
476 * glib/gmem.h: Add the new attribute to g_realloc and

522 variant into something less verbose, but digestible for gcc-3.4.
524 Fri Dec 2 10:55:07 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
526 * tests/slice-test.c: extended to perform the benchmarking on the old
527 memchunk code if 'O' is selected.
529 * tests/memchunks.c: new file which contains the old GLib mem chunks
530 implementation with prefix old_mem_chunk_.
532 * tests/Makefile.am: added memchunks.c
534 Fri Dec 2 00:16:59 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>

537 acceptable load distribution of the syscall.
538 (allocator_get_magazine_threshold): reduce minimum/single-thread magazine
539 sizes to approximately page_size/2.5 to avoid excessive startup allocations.

544 double-free base interface members.
546 * tests/Makefile.am: Remove duplicate variable.
548 Thu Dec 1 17:32:46 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
550 * glib/gslice.[hc]: new slice allocator implementation.
552 * tests/slice-test.c: added random slice allocation test.
554 * glib/gthread.[hc]: removed newly added private thread mem API.
556 * glib/gthreadinit.h:
559 * glib/gmem.c: divided glib threading initialisation into three phases,
560 initialisation where private keys and messaging are not available (only
561 needed by gmem.c), initialisation without messaging but private keys
562 available (gslice.c, gmessage.c), and full fledged initialisers that
563 server the rest of glib. initialisation functions got renamed to reflect
564 the limitations of their corresponding phases.
566 * glib/gmem.c: removed memchunk code, defer allocations to
569 * glib/gmem.[hc]: removed g_slice_* skeletons.
571 * glib/glib.symbols: added g_slice_* symbols.
573 * configure.in: check for availability of posix_memalign(3), memalign(3)
576 * glib/Makefile.am: added gslice.[hc].
578 2005-12-01 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
580 * glib/gstdio.c (g_stat): In the Win32 implementation, strip
581 trailing slash(es) for non-root folders. stat() fails if non-root
582 folders are specified with trailing slashes. It's too much hassle
583 to demand that callers strip such slashes themselves, especially
584 as it is easy to get it wrong and strip the slash of a root
586 (g_rename): On NT-based Windows, use MoveFileEx() with
587 MOVEFILE_REPLACE_EXISTING to better match Unix behaviour.

613 Wed Nov 23 17:34:01 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
615 * glib/gdataset.c: access datalist flags via atomic pointer access
616 functions, instead of acquiring the dataset lock. this is faster and
617 also matches the atomic pointer readouts in gdatalistprivate.h and
618 direct pointer modifications required by gobject.c.
620 Wed Nov 23 13:35:31 2005 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
622 * glib/gdataset.c: streamlined initialization code somewhat,
623 removed GData node cache.

634 internal function which factors out common parts of
635 g_quark_from[_static]_string.
636 (g_quark_from_string, g_quark_from_static_string):
637 Use g_quark_from_string_internal.
638 (g_intern_string, g_intern_static_string): Use
639 g_quark_from_string_internal, and only take the
641 (g_quark_new): Don't store the strings shifted by -1
642 in the g_quarks array.
643 (g_quark_to_string): Adapt to the previous change.
645 Tue Nov 22 14:04:26 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
649 g_hash_table_new_full(): create hash tables with a ref count of 1.
650 g_hash_table_ref(): atomically ref_count+=1
651 g_hash_table_unref(): atomically ref_count-=1, destroys hash table
652 when refcount reaches 0.
653 g_hash_table_destroy(): just destroy keys and values, unref by 1.
654 g_hash_table_insert():
655 g_hash_table_replace(): assert ref_count>0.
658 * glib/gatomic.c: added 'volatile' qualifier to all atomic pointer and
661 2005-11-20 Behdad Esfahbod <behdad@gnome.org>
663 * glib/guniprop.c (g_unichar_get_mirror_char): Remove unused

694 and g_utf8_offset_to_pointer.
696 * glib/gutf8.c (g_utf8_pointer_to_offset)
697 (g_utf8_offset_to_pointer): Handle negative offsets, and use
698 "stutter stepping" for going backwards. (#320638, Larry
703 * glib/gthread.c: const correctness fixes, found
704 by Arjan van de Ven and gcc.
706 2005-11-16 Behdad Esfahbod <behdad@gnome.org>
708 * docs/reference/glib/tmpl/unicode.sgml: Correct typo on mentioning

722 2005-11-05 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
724 * glib/giowin32.c (g_io_win32_set_flags): Don't call g_warning().
725 (#320688) Instead set error and return failure.
727 2005-11-07 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
729 * glib/gmain.c (g_main_dispatch): Don't call cb_funcs->unref
730 while holding the context lock. (#320886, Andy Wingo)
732 2005-11-07 Billy Biggs <vektor@dumbterm.net>
734 * tests/refcount/Makefile.am: Add a missing reference to libglib
735 in the LDADD for this test.
737 2005-11-07 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
739 * glib/gmem.c (g_allocator_new): We need to set n_preallocs to a
740 nonzero value, otherwise GTK+ 2.8 breaks when compiled against
741 GLib 2.9. (#320755, Luca Ferretti)
743 2005-11-04 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
745 * glib/Makefile.am: Apply a patch from Behdad Esfahbod to
746 use a faster lookup table for g_unichar_get_mirror_char().
747 * glib/gmirroringtable.h: The new table.
748 * glib/gunichartables.h: Remove bidi_mirroring_table.
749 * glib/gen-unicode-tables.pl: Don't generate the mirroring
751 * glib/glib-mirroring-tab/*: Sources for the program
752 which generated gmirroringtable.h.
754 * glib/glist.c: Avoid some code duplication.
756 * glib/gscanner.h: Include gdataset.h. (#320322)
758 * glib/gdebug.h: add new GDebugFlag for fatal_criticals
759 * glib/gmessages.c: (_g_debug_init): handle G_DEBUG=fatal_criticals,
760 to help find critical warnings in applications. (#320017,
763 2005-11-02 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
765 * glib/glib.symbols: Remove large amount of trailing whitespace
766 from one line. Remove #ifdef G_UNDEFINED from around
767 g_hash_table_new and g_hash_table_new_full symbols, what was the
768 purpose of that? Add the g_slice functions.
770 Tue Nov 1 16:24:20 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
772 * glib/gmem.[hc]: prepared deprecation of GMemChunk and GAllocator.
773 added g_slice_*() API to allocate and cache small bits of memory.
774 an actuall allocator implementation for g_slice_*() is still pending.
776 * glib/gthread.[hc]: changes from a patch by Matthias Clasen.
777 changed GRealThread list to use in-structure *next; fields instead
778 of GSList, in order for thread iteration to not depenend on g_slice_*()
780 _g_thread_mem_private_get():
781 _g_thread_mem_private_set(): added accessors for private memory,
782 needed because the ordinary GPrivate implementation relies on GArray
783 and GSList and therefore indirectly on working g_slice_*() allocations.
786 g_thread_foreach(): new public API function to loop over all existing threads.
800 removed GAllocator and free list usages and accompanying locks.
801 use g_slice_*() API to allocate and cache small bits of memory.
803 * glib/ghook.h: removed GMemChunk field from public API.
806 * glib/glist.h: deprecate allocator API, provide _free1() for consistency.
808 * glib/gnode.h: deprecate allocator API.
810 * glib/gmain.c: reordered GPollRec fields so g_slice_free_chain() can
811 be used for poll rec lists.
813 * glib/grel.c: removed mem chunk usage, and allocated tuples via g_slice_*().
814 g_relation_destroy(): free all tuples from the all_tuples hash table,
815 this effectively maintains the life time track keeping of tuples.
816 g_relation_delete_tuple(): free tuples which are removed from the
817 all_tuples hash table. this fixes a temporary leak that was present
818 in the memchunk code until the destruction of the relation.
820 2005-10-29 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
822 * tests/convert-test.c: Add some tests for conversions between
823 UTF-8, UCS-4 and UTF-16.
825 * glib/gutf8.c (g_utf8_to_ucs4, g_utf8_to_utf16): Fix handling
826 of len == -1, noticed by Morten Welinder.
828 2005-10-27 Erdal Ronahi <erdal.ronahi@gmail.com>
830 * configure.in: Added ku (Kurdish) to ALL_LINGUAS
832 2005-10-26 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
834 * glib/gutf8.c (g_ucs4_to_utf8): Don't set items_read twice
835 in the error case, and add some documentation. (#319806, Morten
838 2005-10-19 Manish Singh <yosh@gimp.org>
840 * configure.in: Use AC_CHECK_FUNCS for _NSGetEnviron, to get the
841 config.h symbol automatically. Fixes bug #313731.
843 2005-10-19 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
845 * glib/gwin32.c (g_win32_get_package_installation_directory):
846 Return a g_strdup()ed copy of the value stored in the hash table,
847 so that it can be g_free()d without leaving a dangling pointer in
848 the hash table. (#319232)
850 2005-10-06 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
852 * glib/gunicollate.c (g_utf8_collate_key_for_filename): Handle
853 all-zero sequences correctly. (#317930, Sebastien Bacher)
855 2005-10-05 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
857 * glib/gmarkup.c (g_markup_escape_text): Doc addition
859 * Makefile.am: Add Collation tests.
861 * tests/collate/*: Inputs and expected outputs for collation tests.
863 * tests/run-collate-tests.sh: Script to run collation tests.
865 * tests/unicode-collate.c (main): Rework slightly to make
866 it usable in unit tests. Also test g_utf8_collate_key_for_filename().
868 2005-10-01 Behdad Esfahbod <behdad@gnome.org>
870 * docs/reference/glib/tmpl/unicode.sgml:
871 * glib/gen-unicode-tables.pl:
873 * glib/gunichartables.h:
875 * tests/casefold.txt:
876 * tests/casemap.txt: Updated to Unicode 4.1. There are five new
877 GUnicodeBreakType types. That may break some applications, like
880 2005-09-26 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
882 * glib/gstrfuncs.c (g_ascii_strtoull): Add details to the
883 docs. (#314393, Matthew F. Barnes)
886 * glib/gprintf.h: Remove g_snprintf() and g_vsnprintf(), since
887 they are already declared in glib.h. This doesn't break documented
888 use of gprintf.h, but should probably be pointed out in the
889 release notes for 2.10. (#314232, Behdad Esfahbod)
891 Tue Sep 20 13:16:04 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
893 * glib/gpattern.c (g_pattern_ph_match): applied significant recursion
894 complexity optimization, based on a patch from Matthias Clasen.
896 * tests/patterntest.c: more tests, mostly from matthias.
898 2005-09-20 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
900 * glib/gqueue.c (g_queue_insert_sorted): Correct the docs.
901 (#316703, Mark Drago)
903 Mon Sep 19 17:23:23 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
905 * glib/gpattern.c: applied a patch from matthias which checks on the
906 upper bound of GPatternSpec length to optimize matches.
909 * tests/patterntest.c: added more match cases.
911 2005-09-16 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
913 * glib/gstrfuncs.c (g_ascii_strcasecmp, g_ascii_strncasecmp): Add
914 warning to doc comment that these functions should not be used on
915 encodings like CP932.
917 2005-09-14 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
919 * tests/keyfile-test.c: Add a test for grup names of length 1.
921 * glib/gkeyfile.c (g_key_file_line_is_group): Accept group names
922 of length 1. (#316309)
924 2005-09-12 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
926 * glib/gmarkup.c (g_markup_escape_text): Clarify docs.
928 2005-09-11 Sebastian Wilhelmi <seppi@seppi.de>
930 * tests/refcount/Makefile.am (INCLUDES): Link the the refcount
931 tests to the system thread library $(G_THREAD_LIBS). Fixes #313744
934 2005-09-11 Kjartan Maraas <kmaraas@gnome.org>
936 * glib/gmain.c: (g_child_watch_prepare), (g_child_watch_check),
937 (child_watch_helper_thread): Remove some dead code. Closes
940 2005-09-07 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
942 * glib/Makefile.am: Create also a console version of the
943 gspawn-win32-helper program, gspawn-win32-helper-console.exe.
944 It's otherwise identical to gspawn-win32-helper.exe, except marked
945 as a console application (linked without the -mwindows option).
947 * glib/gspawn-win32.c (do_spawn_directly, do_spawn_with_pipes):
948 Drop the dont_wait parameter. Its truth value correlated 100% with
949 the NULLness of the exit_status parameter anyway, so it's enough
950 to check whether exit_status is NULL. Invert the sense of the
951 dont_return_handle parameter and rename it to do_return_handle, to
952 make the code easier to read by avoiding double negations.
954 (g_spawn_sync_utf8, g_spawn_async_with_pipes_utf8): Modify calls
955 to do_spawn_with_pipes() accordingly.
957 (do_spawn_with_pipes): If we have a console, use the console
958 version of the helper program, otherwise use the GUI one. This
959 avoids extra console windows opening up in some situations. (In
960 case a console application uses the GUI gspawn-win32-helper.exe to
961 spawn another console application we would get a separate console
962 for the spawned console application).
964 * glib-zip.in: Distribute also gspawn-win32-helper-console.exe.
966 2005-09-05 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
968 * glib/gmappedfile.c (g_mapped_file_new): Report an error
969 if the file is too large. (#315275, Kjartan Maraas)
971 * glib/gkeyfile.c (g_key_file_load_from_fd): The return value
972 of read() is signed. (#315273, Kjartan Maraas)
974 2005-08-31 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
976 * glib/gutils.h: Wrapping atexit() is a bad idea on Windows, where
977 the EXE and each DLL have their own atexit function chains.
979 #define g_atexit as atexit instead. This means it has a
980 better chance of doing what the caller wants. For instance,
981 gtkhtml calls g_atexit() registering a function in gtkhtml
982 itself. This caused a crash when g_atexit() was implemented as a
983 function in the GLib DLL. The gtkhtml DLL was already unloaded by
984 the time the GLib DLL got unloaded.
986 * glib/gutils.c: #undef the #define mentioned above, to also get a
987 real g_atexit() into the DLL for backward compatibility. Document
988 the Windows behaviour of g_atexit(), and document the varying ways
989 atexit() can behave in the context of dynamically loaded modules
992 2005-08-31 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
996 * glib/gdataset.c: Add string interning functions.
998 2005-08-28 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
1000 * glib/giochannel.c: Unify some near-duplicate strings. (#314654,
1003 2005-08-26 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
1005 * configure.in: Bump version to 2.9.0
1007 2005-08-25 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
1009 Make also the g_spawn*() functions take parameters in the GLib
1010 file name encoding, i.e. UTF-8, on Windows. Has no impact on Unix
1011 API or ABI. Like the other GLib API that was earlier changed to
1012 use UTF-8 on Windows, the names of the functions that take UTF-8
1013 have _utf8 suffixes added by using preprocessor macros in the
1014 header file. The old names are kept for functions with the old
1015 behaviour, taking parameters in the system codepage, for DLL ABI
1018 * glib/gspawn.h: On Win32 add the suffix _utf8 to the names of the
1019 g_spawn*() functions.
1021 * glib/gspawn-win32.c: Use wide-char API on NT-based
1022 Windows. Convert parameters from UTF-8 to wide chars (NT) or
1023 system codepage (Win9x) and call the C library _wspawn*() or
1024 spawn*() functions respectvely. Add DLL ABI stability versions
1025 that take parameters in the system codepage.
1027 * glib/gspawn-win32-helper.c: On NT-based Windows use the
1028 wide-char versions of argv and envp, and use wide-char API to
1029 change directory and spawn the program to run. Remove the verbose
1030 debugging output, it was too complex to modify for the wide-char
1031 features. (Just add temporary debugging printouts if needed, no
1032 need to have them permanently in the source.)
1034 * glib/gspawn.c: Corresponding documentation updates.
1036 * glib/glib.symbols: Corresponding changes: Mark the ABI stability
1037 symbols as PRIVATE, add the new _utf8-suffixed ones.
1039 2005-08-24 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
1041 * glib/gtypes.h (G_MININT64): Cast the constant to gint64; it is
1042 guint64 otherwise and that can produce warnings about comparison
1043 between signed and unsigned.
1045 2005-08-23 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
1047 * glib/gutils.c: Fix the crt_externs.h include.
1049 2005-08-23 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
1051 * NEWS: Fix spelling of my first name.

1080 Add tests for new optimisation, and fix a leak.
1082 2005-08-17 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
1084 * configure.in: Check for crt_externs.h and _NSGetEnviron.
1086 * glib/gutils.c: On Darwin, include crt-externs.h and
1087 define environ using _NSGetEnviron(). (#313731)
1089 2005-08-16 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
1091 * glib/gutils.c (g_get_any_init): Move the body of the big if...
1092 (g_get_any_init_do): ... to this new function.
1093 (g_get_any_init): Declare as inline.
1094 (g_get_any_init_locked): New inline function, does the locking.
1095 Make use of these two throughout the code.
1097 2005-08-15 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
1099 * glib/gbacktrace.c (g_on_error_stack_trace): Wait for
1100 the child process and then simply return. This makes
1101 The "S" option work as documented in g_on_error_query().
1102 (#313125, Matthew F. Barnes)
1104 * glib/gunicode.h: Update the link to Unicode category
1105 values. (#313369, Behnam Esfahbod)
1107 * glib/gqueue.c (g_queue_find_custom): Clarify docs
1108 a little. (#311727, Tristan van Berkom)
1110 * glib/abicheck.sh, gobject/abicheck.sh: Make the
1111 check work on ia64 too, where some symbols ended up
1112 in yet another section.
