30 Wed Jan 25 16:39:18 2006 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
32 * glib/gslice.c: honour g_mem_gc_friendly settings when freeing
33 slices, make sure g_mem_gc_friendly is properly initialized.
35 * gmem.[hc]: ensure g_mem_gc_friendly is initialized from G_DEBUG upon
36 the first allocation. applied some branching optimizations.
38 * docs/macros.txt: reflected --enable-gc-friendly change and
39 described ENABLE_GC_FRIENDLY_DEFAULT as well as G_DEBUG=gc-friendly.
41 * configure.in: changed --enable-gc-friendly=yes to define
42 ENABLE_GC_FRIENDLY_DEFAULT.
44 * glib/garray.c: changed ENABLE_GC_FRIENDLY macro #ifdef-s to
45 if (G_UNLIKELY (g_mem_gc_friendly)).
48 * glib/ghash.c: removed ENABLE_GC_FRIENDLY code which is now taken
49 care of by g_slice_free1().
51 * tests/slice-test.c: fixed leaks, reported by Kjartan Maraas.
53 Tue Jan 24 17:49:36 2006 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
55 * glib/gslice.c: only use posix_memalign() if it's known to work,
56 revert to memalign() otherwise.

73 * glib/gutils.c (_g_getenv_nomalloc): wiped out all the wonderfull
74 G_OS_WIN32 code i wrote ;-[) after tml told me windows has getenv()
77 Mon Jan 23 16:46:20 2006 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
79 * glib/gslice.c (slice_config_init): initialize GSlice config from
80 G_SLICE environment variable. we support G_SLICE=always-malloc
81 currently, which forces all g_slice_*() allocations to use the system
85 g_parse_debug_string(): added a note about not using g_malloc() here.
86 _g_getenv_nomalloc(): getenv() variant that doesn't use g_malloc or
87 g_slice. contains only guesswork in the WIN32 branch.
89 2006-01-18 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>

100 call. (#327421, Morten Welinder)
102 2006-01-17 Sebastian Wilhelmi <seppi@seppi.de>
104 * glib/gthreadpool.c: To avoid deadlocks get rid of the settings
105 G_LOCK. Use the unused_thread_queue lock instead. Change
106 g_thread_pool_thread_proxy such that threads only wait on
107 non-exlusive pools for at most a 1/2 second. Do not reorder tasks
108 due to superfluous tasks. Global tasks wait at most for
109 max-idle-time milliseconds. Make sure, that no task is woken up
110 twice for the same event via a wakeup_serial. This fixes #324228.
112 * tests/threadpool-test.c: Adapt test accordingly. Do not pass
113 invalid NULL into the thread pools. This as well fixes #327290.

128 Signal waiting threads, problem noticed by Christian Kellner.
130 2006-01-16 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
132 Fix bug 326747, Alberto Ruiz:
134 * glib/gconvert.c (make_valid_utf8): Change this function to
135 replace unknown characters by the Unicode replacement character
136 instead of '?', and don't append "(invalid encoding)".
137 (g_filename_display_name, g_filename_display_basename): Document
138 how to determine if the filename was in an invalid encoding.
140 2006-01-14 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>

223 - Added new API g_thread_pool_get_idle_time() and
224 g_thread_pool_set_idle_time(). (#324228).
226 * tests/threadpool-test.c:
227 - Updated test case to do thread pool sorting, thread pool with

250 2006-01-01 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
252 * glib/gspawn-win32.c (g_spawn_sync_utf8): Set the GIOChannels for
253 stdout and stderr to unbuffered. Otherwise the giochannel layer

308 * glib/gthreadpool.h:
309 * glib/gthreadpool.c (g_thread_pool_set_sort_function): New function
310 to sort tasks pushed into a threadpool. (#324479, Martyn Russell)
312 * tests/threadpool-test.c: Test this.
314 Tue Dec 20 18:14:14 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
316 * glib/gslice.[hc]: added mem_error() and mem_assert() to test and
317 handle errors without depending on gmessage.c which might not be
318 setup when the error occours.
319 removed G_SLICE_CONFIG_ALWAYS_FREE config option, fixed the code so
320 always freeing can be achieved by adjusting the working set time to
321 0 with G_SLICE_CONFIG_WORKING_SET_MSECS.
322 added G_SLICE_CONFIG_COLOR_INCREMENT to test different color increments
323 (mainly 0 and 1). reduced the minimum block size to 128 bytes, to
324 minimize wastage if small amounts of differently sized structrues are
325 allocated, this does come at a performance cost of roughly 5% though.
326 fixed up block alignment calculation, so it works for varying
327 block sizes. only use strerror() not g_strerror() since the latter
328 depends on working GQuark and GSlice.
329 mem_error(): implemented in terms of fprintf and vfprintf.
331 * tests/slice-color.c: new program to test cache colorization effects.
333 * tests/slice-test.c: trade G_SLICE_CONFIG_ALWAYS_FREE for 0 duration
334 G_SLICE_CONFIG_WORKING_SET_MSECS.

343 * glib/gatomic.c: Fix memory barrier position in g_atomic_int_get
344 and g_atomic_pointer_get. Add g_atomic_int_set and
345 g_atomic_pointer_set implementations for the !DEFINE_WITH_MUTEXES &&
346 G_ATOMIC_OP_MEMORY_BARRIER_NEEDED case, as well as defining them
347 as functions (additionally to the macros in the header) for the
348 !G_ATOMIC_OP_MEMORY_BARRIER_NEEDED case.
350 2005-12-16 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
352 * glib/gmem.c (g_allocator_new): Don't return a pointer to
353 a const struct, since apps expect to be able to modify it.
354 (#324179, J. Ali Harlow)
356 Tue Dec 13 10:13:32 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
358 * glib/gatomic.h: added g_atomic_pointer_set() and g_atomic_int_set()
359 for systems where the initialization of atomic variables requires a
360 write memory barrier.
362 2005-12-09 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>

381 * glib/gasyncqueue.c:
382 - Call g_queue_insert_sorted() instead of duplicating the code.
383 - Call g_queue_sort() instead of duplicating the code.
384 - Invert sort function results to make sure the same sort function
385 gives the same results across glist, gslist, gqueue and
388 * tests/asyncqueue-test.c:
389 - Updated the sort function to reflect the example in the
390 documentation for gasyncqueue.c.

395 * docs/reference/glib/tmpl/linked_lists_double.sgml:
396 * docs/reference/glib/tmpl/linked_lists_single.sgml:
399 - Added g_list_insert_sorted_with_data () and
400 g_slist_insert_sorted_with_data ().
401 - Removed the extra check in g_list_sort() and g_slist_sort() for
402 GCompareDataFunc vs. GCompareFunc.
404 2005-12-07 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
406 * glib-gettextize.in: Look up prefix at run-time on Win32,
407 assuming the standard directory structure with glib-gettextize in
410 2005-12-06 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
412 * glib/gmem.h: Exempt GTK+ from the mem chunk deprecation, since
413 we need GTK+ 2.8 to compile against GLib 2.10.
415 2005-12-05 Manish Singh <yosh@gimp.org>
417 * tests/run-collate-test.sh: set LC_COLLATE, not LANG, to be sure
418 to override any user settings.

447 * glib/gasyncqueue.[ch]:
448 - Added support for sorting async queues by with _push_sorted(),
449 _push_sorted_unlocked(), _sort() and _sort_unlocked() (#323047).
452 * tests/asyncqueue-test.c:
453 - Added test case for gasyncqueue.c
455 Mon Dec 5 15:53:20 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
457 * glib/gslice.c: implement chain walking for arbitrary ->next pointer
458 offsets in g_slice_free_chain_with_offset() based on a patch by behdad
459 in bug 323178. moved time consuming logic from g_slice_free() out of
460 the inner loop, so g_slice_free_chain_with_offset() provides a real
461 performance benefit over g_slice_free1() now.
463 * glib/gslice.h: renamed g_slice_free_chain() to
464 g_slice_free_chain_with_offset(). implemented g_slice_free_chain() as
465 a type-safe macro as suggested in bug 323178.
466 simplified the macro implementation of g_slice_free() and implemented
467 it in a type safe manner for all compliers as suggested by Morten
468 Welinder <mortenw@gnome.org>.
473 * glib/glib.symbols: s/g_slice_free_chain/g_slice_free_chain_with_offset/

491 Handle multiple user names with the same UID better.
492 (#319535, Laszlo Peter)
494 * glib/gutils.c (g_get_any_init_do): When determining user
495 data, first look up $LOGNAME. If the UID doesn't match
496 getuid(), fall back to the current behaviour of looking
497 up the user data based on getuid().
499 2005-12-04 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
501 * glib/gmacros.h (G_GNUC_WARN_UNUSED_RESULT): Add a macro
502 to make gcc warn if a function result is ignored. (#145466,

551 variant into something less verbose, but digestible for gcc-3.4.
553 Fri Dec 2 10:55:07 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
555 * tests/slice-test.c: extended to perform the benchmarking on the old
556 memchunk code if 'O' is selected.
558 * tests/memchunks.c: new file which contains the old GLib mem chunks
559 implementation with prefix old_mem_chunk_.
561 * tests/Makefile.am: added memchunks.c
563 Fri Dec 2 00:16:59 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
565 * glib/gslice.c: improved gettimeofday() timer resolution by maintaining
566 acceptable load distribution of the syscall.
567 (allocator_get_magazine_threshold): reduce minimum/single-thread magazine
568 sizes to approximately page_size/2.5 to avoid excessive startup allocations.

573 double-free base interface members.
575 * tests/Makefile.am: Remove duplicate variable.
577 Thu Dec 1 17:32:46 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
579 * glib/gslice.[hc]: new slice allocator implementation.
581 * tests/slice-test.c: added random slice allocation test.
583 * glib/gthread.[hc]: removed newly added private thread mem API.
585 * glib/gthreadinit.h:
588 * glib/gmem.c: divided glib threading initialisation into three phases,
589 initialisation where private keys and messaging are not available (only
590 needed by gmem.c), initialisation without messaging but private keys
591 available (gslice.c, gmessage.c), and full fledged initialisers that
592 server the rest of glib. initialisation functions got renamed to reflect
593 the limitations of their corresponding phases.
595 * glib/gmem.c: removed memchunk code, defer allocations to
598 * glib/gmem.[hc]: removed g_slice_* skeletons.

609 * glib/gstdio.c (g_stat): In the Win32 implementation, strip
610 trailing slash(es) for non-root folders. stat() fails if non-root
611 folders are specified with trailing slashes. It's too much hassle
612 to demand that callers strip such slashes themselves, especially
613 as it is easy to get it wrong and strip the slash of a root
615 (g_rename): On NT-based Windows, use MoveFileEx() with
616 MOVEFILE_REPLACE_EXISTING to better match Unix behaviour.

620 Fix G_STMT_START / G_STMT_END on Solaris. (#321972,
623 * configure.in: Check whether do { } while (0) works.
625 * glib/gmacros.h: Use do { } while (0) for G_STMT_START /
626 G_STMT_END if it works.

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

683 g_hash_table_insert():
684 g_hash_table_replace(): assert ref_count>0.
687 * glib/gatomic.c: added 'volatile' qualifier to all atomic pointer and

732 * glib/gthread.c: const correctness fixes, found
733 by Arjan van de Ven and gcc.
735 2005-11-16 Behdad Esfahbod <behdad@gnome.org>

751 2005-11-05 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
753 * glib/giowin32.c (g_io_win32_set_flags): Don't call g_warning().
754 (#320688) Instead set error and return failure.
756 2005-11-07 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
758 * glib/gmain.c (g_main_dispatch): Don't call cb_funcs->unref
759 while holding the context lock. (#320886, Andy Wingo)
761 2005-11-07 Billy Biggs <vektor@dumbterm.net>
763 * tests/refcount/Makefile.am: Add a missing reference to libglib
764 in the LDADD for this test.
766 2005-11-07 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
768 * glib/gmem.c (g_allocator_new): We need to set n_preallocs to a
769 nonzero value, otherwise GTK+ 2.8 breaks when compiled against
770 GLib 2.9. (#320755, Luca Ferretti)
772 2005-11-04 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
774 * glib/Makefile.am: Apply a patch from Behdad Esfahbod to
775 use a faster lookup table for g_unichar_get_mirror_char().
776 * glib/gmirroringtable.h: The new table.
777 * glib/gunichartables.h: Remove bidi_mirroring_table.
778 * glib/gen-unicode-tables.pl: Don't generate the mirroring
780 * glib/glib-mirroring-tab/*: Sources for the program
781 which generated gmirroringtable.h.
783 * glib/glist.c: Avoid some code duplication.
785 * glib/gscanner.h: Include gdataset.h. (#320322)
787 * glib/gdebug.h: add new GDebugFlag for fatal_criticals
788 * glib/gmessages.c: (_g_debug_init): handle G_DEBUG=fatal_criticals,
789 to help find critical warnings in applications. (#320017,
792 2005-11-02 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
794 * glib/glib.symbols: Remove large amount of trailing whitespace
795 from one line. Remove #ifdef G_UNDEFINED from around
796 g_hash_table_new and g_hash_table_new_full symbols, what was the
797 purpose of that? Add the g_slice functions.
799 Tue Nov 1 16:24:20 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
801 * glib/gmem.[hc]: prepared deprecation of GMemChunk and GAllocator.
802 added g_slice_*() API to allocate and cache small bits of memory.
803 an actuall allocator implementation for g_slice_*() is still pending.
805 * glib/gthread.[hc]: changes from a patch by Matthias Clasen.
806 changed GRealThread list to use in-structure *next; fields instead
807 of GSList, in order for thread iteration to not depenend on g_slice_*()
809 _g_thread_mem_private_get():
810 _g_thread_mem_private_set(): added accessors for private memory,
811 needed because the ordinary GPrivate implementation relies on GArray
812 and GSList and therefore indirectly on working g_slice_*() allocations.
815 g_thread_foreach(): new public API function to loop over all existing threads.
829 removed GAllocator and free list usages and accompanying locks.
830 use g_slice_*() API to allocate and cache small bits of memory.
832 * glib/ghook.h: removed GMemChunk field from public API.
835 * glib/glist.h: deprecate allocator API, provide _free1() for consistency.
837 * glib/gnode.h: deprecate allocator API.
839 * glib/gmain.c: reordered GPollRec fields so g_slice_free_chain() can
840 be used for poll rec lists.
842 * glib/grel.c: removed mem chunk usage, and allocated tuples via g_slice_*().
843 g_relation_destroy(): free all tuples from the all_tuples hash table,
844 this effectively maintains the life time track keeping of tuples.
845 g_relation_delete_tuple(): free tuples which are removed from the
846 all_tuples hash table. this fixes a temporary leak that was present
847 in the memchunk code until the destruction of the relation.
849 2005-10-29 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
851 * tests/convert-test.c: Add some tests for conversions between
852 UTF-8, UCS-4 and UTF-16.
854 * glib/gutf8.c (g_utf8_to_ucs4, g_utf8_to_utf16): Fix handling
855 of len == -1, noticed by Morten Welinder.
857 2005-10-27 Erdal Ronahi <erdal.ronahi@gmail.com>
859 * configure.in: Added ku (Kurdish) to ALL_LINGUAS
861 2005-10-26 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
863 * glib/gutf8.c (g_ucs4_to_utf8): Don't set items_read twice
864 in the error case, and add some documentation. (#319806, Morten
867 2005-10-19 Manish Singh <yosh@gimp.org>
869 * configure.in: Use AC_CHECK_FUNCS for _NSGetEnviron, to get the
870 config.h symbol automatically. Fixes bug #313731.
872 2005-10-19 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
874 * glib/gwin32.c (g_win32_get_package_installation_directory):
875 Return a g_strdup()ed copy of the value stored in the hash table,
876 so that it can be g_free()d without leaving a dangling pointer in
877 the hash table. (#319232)
879 2005-10-06 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
881 * glib/gunicollate.c (g_utf8_collate_key_for_filename): Handle
882 all-zero sequences correctly. (#317930, Sebastien Bacher)
884 2005-10-05 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
886 * glib/gmarkup.c (g_markup_escape_text): Doc addition
888 * Makefile.am: Add Collation tests.
890 * tests/collate/*: Inputs and expected outputs for collation tests.
892 * tests/run-collate-tests.sh: Script to run collation tests.
894 * tests/unicode-collate.c (main): Rework slightly to make
895 it usable in unit tests. Also test g_utf8_collate_key_for_filename().
897 2005-10-01 Behdad Esfahbod <behdad@gnome.org>
899 * docs/reference/glib/tmpl/unicode.sgml:
900 * glib/gen-unicode-tables.pl:
902 * glib/gunichartables.h:
904 * tests/casefold.txt:
905 * tests/casemap.txt: Updated to Unicode 4.1. There are five new
906 GUnicodeBreakType types. That may break some applications, like
909 2005-09-26 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
911 * glib/gstrfuncs.c (g_ascii_strtoull): Add details to the
912 docs. (#314393, Matthew F. Barnes)
915 * glib/gprintf.h: Remove g_snprintf() and g_vsnprintf(), since
916 they are already declared in glib.h. This doesn't break documented
917 use of gprintf.h, but should probably be pointed out in the
918 release notes for 2.10. (#314232, Behdad Esfahbod)
920 Tue Sep 20 13:16:04 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
922 * glib/gpattern.c (g_pattern_ph_match): applied significant recursion
923 complexity optimization, based on a patch from Matthias Clasen.
925 * tests/patterntest.c: more tests, mostly from matthias.
927 2005-09-20 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
929 * glib/gqueue.c (g_queue_insert_sorted): Correct the docs.
930 (#316703, Mark Drago)
932 Mon Sep 19 17:23:23 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
934 * glib/gpattern.c: applied a patch from matthias which checks on the
935 upper bound of GPatternSpec length to optimize matches.
938 * tests/patterntest.c: added more match cases.
940 2005-09-16 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
942 * glib/gstrfuncs.c (g_ascii_strcasecmp, g_ascii_strncasecmp): Add
943 warning to doc comment that these functions should not be used on
944 encodings like CP932.
946 2005-09-14 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
948 * tests/keyfile-test.c: Add a test for grup names of length 1.
950 * glib/gkeyfile.c (g_key_file_line_is_group): Accept group names
951 of length 1. (#316309)
953 2005-09-12 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
955 * glib/gmarkup.c (g_markup_escape_text): Clarify docs.
957 2005-09-11 Sebastian Wilhelmi <seppi@seppi.de>
959 * tests/refcount/Makefile.am (INCLUDES): Link the the refcount
960 tests to the system thread library $(G_THREAD_LIBS). Fixes #313744
963 2005-09-11 Kjartan Maraas <kmaraas@gnome.org>
965 * glib/gmain.c: (g_child_watch_prepare), (g_child_watch_check),
966 (child_watch_helper_thread): Remove some dead code. Closes
969 2005-09-07 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
971 * glib/Makefile.am: Create also a console version of the
972 gspawn-win32-helper program, gspawn-win32-helper-console.exe.
973 It's otherwise identical to gspawn-win32-helper.exe, except marked
974 as a console application (linked without the -mwindows option).
976 * glib/gspawn-win32.c (do_spawn_directly, do_spawn_with_pipes):
977 Drop the dont_wait parameter. Its truth value correlated 100% with
978 the NULLness of the exit_status parameter anyway, so it's enough
979 to check whether exit_status is NULL. Invert the sense of the
980 dont_return_handle parameter and rename it to do_return_handle, to
981 make the code easier to read by avoiding double negations.
983 (g_spawn_sync_utf8, g_spawn_async_with_pipes_utf8): Modify calls
984 to do_spawn_with_pipes() accordingly.
986 (do_spawn_with_pipes): If we have a console, use the console
987 version of the helper program, otherwise use the GUI one. This
988 avoids extra console windows opening up in some situations. (In
989 case a console application uses the GUI gspawn-win32-helper.exe to
990 spawn another console application we would get a separate console
991 for the spawned console application).
993 * glib-zip.in: Distribute also gspawn-win32-helper-console.exe.
995 2005-09-05 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
997 * glib/gmappedfile.c (g_mapped_file_new): Report an error
998 if the file is too large. (#315275, Kjartan Maraas)
1000 * glib/gkeyfile.c (g_key_file_load_from_fd): The return value
1001 of read() is signed. (#315273, Kjartan Maraas)
1003 2005-08-31 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
1005 * glib/gutils.h: Wrapping atexit() is a bad idea on Windows, where
1006 the EXE and each DLL have their own atexit function chains.
1008 #define g_atexit as atexit instead. This means it has a
1009 better chance of doing what the caller wants. For instance,
1010 gtkhtml calls g_atexit() registering a function in gtkhtml
1011 itself. This caused a crash when g_atexit() was implemented as a
1012 function in the GLib DLL. The gtkhtml DLL was already unloaded by
1013 the time the GLib DLL got unloaded.
1015 * glib/gutils.c: #undef the #define mentioned above, to also get a
1016 real g_atexit() into the DLL for backward compatibility. Document
1017 the Windows behaviour of g_atexit(), and document the varying ways
1018 atexit() can behave in the context of dynamically loaded modules
1021 2005-08-31 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
1023 * glib/glib.symbols:
1025 * glib/gdataset.c: Add string interning functions.
1027 2005-08-28 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
1029 * glib/giochannel.c: Unify some near-duplicate strings. (#314654,
1032 2005-08-26 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
1034 * configure.in: Bump version to 2.9.0
1036 2005-08-25 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
1038 Make also the g_spawn*() functions take parameters in the GLib
1039 file name encoding, i.e. UTF-8, on Windows. Has no impact on Unix
1040 API or ABI. Like the other GLib API that was earlier changed to
1041 use UTF-8 on Windows, the names of the functions that take UTF-8
1042 have _utf8 suffixes added by using preprocessor macros in the
1043 header file. The old names are kept for functions with the old
1044 behaviour, taking parameters in the system codepage, for DLL ABI
1047 * glib/gspawn.h: On Win32 add the suffix _utf8 to the names of the
1048 g_spawn*() functions.
1050 * glib/gspawn-win32.c: Use wide-char API on NT-based
1051 Windows. Convert parameters from UTF-8 to wide chars (NT) or
1052 system codepage (Win9x) and call the C library _wspawn*() or
1053 spawn*() functions respectvely. Add DLL ABI stability versions
1054 that take parameters in the system codepage.
1056 * glib/gspawn-win32-helper.c: On NT-based Windows use the
1057 wide-char versions of argv and envp, and use wide-char API to
1058 change directory and spawn the program to run. Remove the verbose
1059 debugging output, it was too complex to modify for the wide-char
1060 features. (Just add temporary debugging printouts if needed, no
1061 need to have them permanently in the source.)
1063 * glib/gspawn.c: Corresponding documentation updates.
1065 * glib/glib.symbols: Corresponding changes: Mark the ABI stability
1066 symbols as PRIVATE, add the new _utf8-suffixed ones.
1068 2005-08-24 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
1070 * glib/gtypes.h (G_MININT64): Cast the constant to gint64; it is
1071 guint64 otherwise and that can produce warnings about comparison
1072 between signed and unsigned.
1074 2005-08-23 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
1076 * glib/gutils.c: Fix the crt_externs.h include.
1078 2005-08-23 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
1080 * NEWS: Fix spelling of my first name.
1082 2005-08-23 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>

1109 Add tests for new optimisation, and fix a leak.
1111 2005-08-17 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
1113 * configure.in: Check for crt_externs.h and _NSGetEnviron.
1115 * glib/gutils.c: On Darwin, include crt-externs.h and
1116 define environ using _NSGetEnviron(). (#313731)
1118 2005-08-16 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
1120 * glib/gutils.c (g_get_any_init): Move the body of the big if...
1121 (g_get_any_init_do): ... to this new function.
1122 (g_get_any_init): Declare as inline.
1123 (g_get_any_init_locked): New inline function, does the locking.
1124 Make use of these two throughout the code.
1126 2005-08-15 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
1128 * glib/gbacktrace.c (g_on_error_stack_trace): Wait for
1129 the child process and then simply return. This makes
1130 The "S" option work as documented in g_on_error_query().
1131 (#313125, Matthew F. Barnes)
1133 * glib/gunicode.h: Update the link to Unicode category
1134 values. (#313369, Behnam Esfahbod)
1136 * glib/gqueue.c (g_queue_find_custom): Clarify docs
1137 a little. (#311727, Tristan van Berkom)
1139 * glib/abicheck.sh, gobject/abicheck.sh: Make the
1140 check work on ia64 too, where some symbols ended up
1141 in yet another section.
