7 * glib/gslice.c: spelling fixes.
9 Wed Jan 25 16:39:18 2006 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
11 * glib/gslice.c: honour g_mem_gc_friendly settings when freeing
12 slices, make sure g_mem_gc_friendly is properly initialized.
14 * gmem.[hc]: ensure g_mem_gc_friendly is initialized from G_DEBUG upon
15 the first allocation. applied some branching optimizations.
17 * docs/macros.txt: reflected --enable-gc-friendly change and
18 described ENABLE_GC_FRIENDLY_DEFAULT as well as G_DEBUG=gc-friendly.
20 * configure.in: changed --enable-gc-friendly=yes to define
21 ENABLE_GC_FRIENDLY_DEFAULT.
23 * glib/garray.c: changed ENABLE_GC_FRIENDLY macro #ifdef-s to
24 if (G_UNLIKELY (g_mem_gc_friendly)).
27 * glib/ghash.c: removed ENABLE_GC_FRIENDLY code which is now taken
28 care of by g_slice_free1().
30 * tests/slice-test.c: fixed leaks, reported by Kjartan Maraas.
32 Tue Jan 24 17:49:36 2006 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
34 * glib/gslice.c: only use posix_memalign() if it's known to work,
35 revert to memalign() otherwise.
37 * configure.in: check for broken posix_memalign() implementations
40 2006-01-24 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
42 * tests/unicode-encoding.c: Use UTF-16LE as target encoding
43 on all little-endian systems. (#143380, Marc Moorcroft)
45 2006-01-23 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
47 * configure.in: Change the shared libary extension for hpux-ia64
48 to so. (#328253, The Written Word)
50 Mon Jan 23 17:30:33 2006 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
52 * glib/gutils.c (_g_getenv_nomalloc): wiped out all the wonderfull
53 G_OS_WIN32 code i wrote ;-[) after tml told me windows has getenv()
56 Mon Jan 23 16:46:20 2006 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
58 * glib/gslice.c (slice_config_init): initialize GSlice config from
59 G_SLICE environment variable. we support G_SLICE=always-malloc
60 currently, which forces all g_slice_*() allocations to use the system
64 g_parse_debug_string(): added a note about not using g_malloc() here.
65 _g_getenv_nomalloc(): getenv() variant that doesn't use g_malloc or
66 g_slice. contains only guesswork in the WIN32 branch.

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

111 Fix bug 326747, Alberto Ruiz:
113 * glib/gconvert.c (make_valid_utf8): Change this function to
114 replace unknown characters by the Unicode replacement character
115 instead of '?', and don't append "(invalid encoding)".
116 (g_filename_display_name, g_filename_display_basename): Document
117 how to determine if the filename was in an invalid encoding.

202 - Added new API g_thread_pool_get_idle_time() and
203 g_thread_pool_set_idle_time(). (#324228).
205 * tests/threadpool-test.c:
206 - Updated test case to do thread pool sorting, thread pool with

225 * glib/gstdio.c (g_rmdir): Don't provide g_rmdir() as a macro
226 expanding to rmdir, since rmdir is not declared in a portable
227 system header we can include in gstdio.h. (#325249, Jani Monoses)
229 2006-01-01 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
231 * glib/gspawn-win32.c (g_spawn_sync_utf8): Set the GIOChannels for
232 stdout and stderr to unbuffered. Otherwise the giochannel layer
233 will try to read from them regardless whether the
234 g_io_channel_win32_poll() call here has indicated
235 readability or not. (#325310)

239 * glib/gutils.c (glib_check_version): Fix a copy-and-paste error
240 in the docs. (#325273, Declan Naughton)
242 2005-12-27 Manish Singh <yosh@gimp.org>
244 * tests/run-collate-tests.sh: use LC_ALL instead of LC_COLLATE, to
245 make sure we really override things.

287 * glib/gthreadpool.h:
288 * glib/gthreadpool.c (g_thread_pool_set_sort_function): New function
289 to sort tasks pushed into a threadpool. (#324479, Martyn Russell)
291 * tests/threadpool-test.c: Test this.
293 Tue Dec 20 18:14:14 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
295 * glib/gslice.[hc]: added mem_error() and mem_assert() to test and
296 handle errors without depending on gmessage.c which might not be
297 setup when the error occours.
298 removed G_SLICE_CONFIG_ALWAYS_FREE config option, fixed the code so
299 always freeing can be achieved by adjusting the working set time to
300 0 with G_SLICE_CONFIG_WORKING_SET_MSECS.
301 added G_SLICE_CONFIG_COLOR_INCREMENT to test different color increments
302 (mainly 0 and 1). reduced the minimum block size to 128 bytes, to
303 minimize wastage if small amounts of differently sized structrues are
304 allocated, this does come at a performance cost of roughly 5% though.
305 fixed up block alignment calculation, so it works for varying
306 block sizes. only use strerror() not g_strerror() since the latter
307 depends on working GQuark and GSlice.
308 mem_error(): implemented in terms of fprintf and vfprintf.
310 * tests/slice-color.c: new program to test cache colorization effects.
312 * tests/slice-test.c: trade G_SLICE_CONFIG_ALWAYS_FREE for 0 duration
313 G_SLICE_CONFIG_WORKING_SET_MSECS.
315 2005-12-17 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>

318 failure cases. (#324332, Tim-Philipp Müller)
320 2005-12-17 Sebastian Wilhelmi <seppi@seppi.de>
322 * glib/gatomic.c: Fix memory barrier position in g_atomic_int_get
323 and g_atomic_pointer_get. Add g_atomic_int_set and
324 g_atomic_pointer_set implementations for the !DEFINE_WITH_MUTEXES &&
325 G_ATOMIC_OP_MEMORY_BARRIER_NEEDED case, as well as defining them
326 as functions (additionally to the macros in the header) for the
327 !G_ATOMIC_OP_MEMORY_BARRIER_NEEDED case.
329 2005-12-16 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
331 * glib/gmem.c (g_allocator_new): Don't return a pointer to
332 a const struct, since apps expect to be able to modify it.
333 (#324179, J. Ali Harlow)
335 Tue Dec 13 10:13:32 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
337 * glib/gatomic.h: added g_atomic_pointer_set() and g_atomic_int_set()
338 for systems where the initialization of atomic variables requires a
339 write memory barrier.
341 2005-12-09 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>

360 * glib/gasyncqueue.c:
361 - Call g_queue_insert_sorted() instead of duplicating the code.
362 - Call g_queue_sort() instead of duplicating the code.
363 - Invert sort function results to make sure the same sort function
364 gives the same results across glist, gslist, gqueue and
367 * tests/asyncqueue-test.c:
368 - Updated the sort function to reflect the example in the
369 documentation for gasyncqueue.c.
371 2005-12-07 Martyn Russell <martyn@imendio.com>
373 * docs/reference/glib/glib-sections.txt:
374 * docs/reference/glib/tmpl/linked_lists_double.sgml:
375 * docs/reference/glib/tmpl/linked_lists_single.sgml:
378 - Added g_list_insert_sorted_with_data () and
379 g_slist_insert_sorted_with_data ().
380 - Removed the extra check in g_list_sort() and g_slist_sort() for
381 GCompareDataFunc vs. GCompareFunc.
383 2005-12-07 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
385 * glib-gettextize.in: Look up prefix at run-time on Win32,
386 assuming the standard directory structure with glib-gettextize in
389 2005-12-06 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
391 * glib/gmem.h: Exempt GTK+ from the mem chunk deprecation, since
392 we need GTK+ 2.8 to compile against GLib 2.10.
394 2005-12-05 Manish Singh <yosh@gimp.org>
396 * tests/run-collate-test.sh: set LC_COLLATE, not LANG, to be sure
397 to override any user settings.
399 2005-12-05 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
401 * configure.in: Revert an accidential commit
403 2005-12-05 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
405 * glib/gutf8.c: Documentation updates. (#323291, Morten Welinder)
407 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT):
408 * tests/gobject/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Set
409 MALLOC_CHECK_ and MALLOC_PERTURB_

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

470 Handle multiple user names with the same UID better.
471 (#319535, Laszlo Peter)
473 * glib/gutils.c (g_get_any_init_do): When determining user
474 data, first look up $LOGNAME. If the UID doesn't match
475 getuid(), fall back to the current behaviour of looking
476 up the user data based on getuid().
478 2005-12-04 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
480 * glib/gmacros.h (G_GNUC_WARN_UNUSED_RESULT): Add a macro
481 to make gcc warn if a function result is ignored. (#145466,
482 Arjan van de Ven, Alex Larsson)
484 * glib/gmem.h: Add the new attribute to g_realloc and

530 variant into something less verbose, but digestible for gcc-3.4.
532 Fri Dec 2 10:55:07 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
534 * tests/slice-test.c: extended to perform the benchmarking on the old
535 memchunk code if 'O' is selected.
537 * tests/memchunks.c: new file which contains the old GLib mem chunks
538 implementation with prefix old_mem_chunk_.
540 * tests/Makefile.am: added memchunks.c
542 Fri Dec 2 00:16:59 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
544 * glib/gslice.c: improved gettimeofday() timer resolution by maintaining
545 acceptable load distribution of the syscall.
546 (allocator_get_magazine_threshold): reduce minimum/single-thread magazine
547 sizes to approximately page_size/2.5 to avoid excessive startup allocations.
549 2005-12-01 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>

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

623 * glib/gdataset.c: access datalist flags via atomic pointer access
624 functions, instead of acquiring the dataset lock. this is faster and
625 also matches the atomic pointer readouts in gdatalistprivate.h and
626 direct pointer modifications required by gobject.c.

712 by Arjan van de Ven and gcc.
714 2005-11-16 Behdad Esfahbod <behdad@gnome.org>

730 2005-11-05 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
732 * glib/giowin32.c (g_io_win32_set_flags): Don't call g_warning().
733 (#320688) Instead set error and return failure.
735 2005-11-07 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
737 * glib/gmain.c (g_main_dispatch): Don't call cb_funcs->unref
738 while holding the context lock. (#320886, Andy Wingo)
740 2005-11-07 Billy Biggs <vektor@dumbterm.net>
742 * tests/refcount/Makefile.am: Add a missing reference to libglib
743 in the LDADD for this test.
745 2005-11-07 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
747 * glib/gmem.c (g_allocator_new): We need to set n_preallocs to a
748 nonzero value, otherwise GTK+ 2.8 breaks when compiled against
749 GLib 2.9. (#320755, Luca Ferretti)
751 2005-11-04 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
753 * glib/Makefile.am: Apply a patch from Behdad Esfahbod to
754 use a faster lookup table for g_unichar_get_mirror_char().
755 * glib/gmirroringtable.h: The new table.
756 * glib/gunichartables.h: Remove bidi_mirroring_table.
757 * glib/gen-unicode-tables.pl: Don't generate the mirroring
759 * glib/glib-mirroring-tab/*: Sources for the program
760 which generated gmirroringtable.h.
762 * glib/glist.c: Avoid some code duplication.
764 * glib/gscanner.h: Include gdataset.h. (#320322)

767 * glib/gmessages.c: (_g_debug_init): handle G_DEBUG=fatal_criticals,
768 to help find critical warnings in applications. (#320017,
771 2005-11-02 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
773 * glib/glib.symbols: Remove large amount of trailing whitespace
774 from one line. Remove #ifdef G_UNDEFINED from around
775 g_hash_table_new and g_hash_table_new_full symbols, what was the
776 purpose of that? Add the g_slice functions.
778 Tue Nov 1 16:24:20 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
780 * glib/gmem.[hc]: prepared deprecation of GMemChunk and GAllocator.
781 added g_slice_*() API to allocate and cache small bits of memory.
782 an actuall allocator implementation for g_slice_*() is still pending.
784 * glib/gthread.[hc]: changes from a patch by Matthias Clasen.
785 changed GRealThread list to use in-structure *next; fields instead
786 of GSList, in order for thread iteration to not depenend on g_slice_*()
788 _g_thread_mem_private_get():
789 _g_thread_mem_private_set(): added accessors for private memory,
790 needed because the ordinary GPrivate implementation relies on GArray
791 and GSList and therefore indirectly on working g_slice_*() allocations.
794 g_thread_foreach(): new public API function to loop over all existing threads.
808 removed GAllocator and free list usages and accompanying locks.
809 use g_slice_*() API to allocate and cache small bits of memory.
811 * glib/ghook.h: removed GMemChunk field from public API.
814 * glib/glist.h: deprecate allocator API, provide _free1() for consistency.
816 * glib/gnode.h: deprecate allocator API.
818 * glib/gmain.c: reordered GPollRec fields so g_slice_free_chain() can
819 be used for poll rec lists.
821 * glib/grel.c: removed mem chunk usage, and allocated tuples via g_slice_*().
822 g_relation_destroy(): free all tuples from the all_tuples hash table,
823 this effectively maintains the life time track keeping of tuples.
824 g_relation_delete_tuple(): free tuples which are removed from the
825 all_tuples hash table. this fixes a temporary leak that was present
826 in the memchunk code until the destruction of the relation.
828 2005-10-29 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
830 * tests/convert-test.c: Add some tests for conversions between
831 UTF-8, UCS-4 and UTF-16.
833 * glib/gutf8.c (g_utf8_to_ucs4, g_utf8_to_utf16): Fix handling
834 of len == -1, noticed by Morten Welinder.
836 2005-10-27 Erdal Ronahi <erdal.ronahi@gmail.com>
838 * configure.in: Added ku (Kurdish) to ALL_LINGUAS
840 2005-10-26 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
842 * glib/gutf8.c (g_ucs4_to_utf8): Don't set items_read twice
843 in the error case, and add some documentation. (#319806, Morten
846 2005-10-19 Manish Singh <yosh@gimp.org>
848 * configure.in: Use AC_CHECK_FUNCS for _NSGetEnviron, to get the
849 config.h symbol automatically. Fixes bug #313731.
851 2005-10-19 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
853 * glib/gwin32.c (g_win32_get_package_installation_directory):
854 Return a g_strdup()ed copy of the value stored in the hash table,
855 so that it can be g_free()d without leaving a dangling pointer in
856 the hash table. (#319232)
858 2005-10-06 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
860 * glib/gunicollate.c (g_utf8_collate_key_for_filename): Handle
861 all-zero sequences correctly. (#317930, Sebastien Bacher)
863 2005-10-05 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
865 * glib/gmarkup.c (g_markup_escape_text): Doc addition
867 * Makefile.am: Add Collation tests.
869 * tests/collate/*: Inputs and expected outputs for collation tests.
871 * tests/run-collate-tests.sh: Script to run collation tests.
873 * tests/unicode-collate.c (main): Rework slightly to make
874 it usable in unit tests. Also test g_utf8_collate_key_for_filename().
876 2005-10-01 Behdad Esfahbod <behdad@gnome.org>
878 * docs/reference/glib/tmpl/unicode.sgml:
879 * glib/gen-unicode-tables.pl:
881 * glib/gunichartables.h:
883 * tests/casefold.txt:
884 * tests/casemap.txt: Updated to Unicode 4.1. There are five new
885 GUnicodeBreakType types. That may break some applications, like
888 2005-09-26 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
890 * glib/gstrfuncs.c (g_ascii_strtoull): Add details to the
891 docs. (#314393, Matthew F. Barnes)
894 * glib/gprintf.h: Remove g_snprintf() and g_vsnprintf(), since
895 they are already declared in glib.h. This doesn't break documented
896 use of gprintf.h, but should probably be pointed out in the
897 release notes for 2.10. (#314232, Behdad Esfahbod)
899 Tue Sep 20 13:16:04 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
901 * glib/gpattern.c (g_pattern_ph_match): applied significant recursion
902 complexity optimization, based on a patch from Matthias Clasen.
904 * tests/patterntest.c: more tests, mostly from matthias.
906 2005-09-20 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
908 * glib/gqueue.c (g_queue_insert_sorted): Correct the docs.
909 (#316703, Mark Drago)
911 Mon Sep 19 17:23:23 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
913 * glib/gpattern.c: applied a patch from matthias which checks on the
914 upper bound of GPatternSpec length to optimize matches.
917 * tests/patterntest.c: added more match cases.
919 2005-09-16 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
921 * glib/gstrfuncs.c (g_ascii_strcasecmp, g_ascii_strncasecmp): Add
922 warning to doc comment that these functions should not be used on
923 encodings like CP932.
925 2005-09-14 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
927 * tests/keyfile-test.c: Add a test for grup names of length 1.
929 * glib/gkeyfile.c (g_key_file_line_is_group): Accept group names
930 of length 1. (#316309)
932 2005-09-12 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
934 * glib/gmarkup.c (g_markup_escape_text): Clarify docs.
936 2005-09-11 Sebastian Wilhelmi <seppi@seppi.de>
938 * tests/refcount/Makefile.am (INCLUDES): Link the the refcount
939 tests to the system thread library $(G_THREAD_LIBS). Fixes #313744
942 2005-09-11 Kjartan Maraas <kmaraas@gnome.org>
944 * glib/gmain.c: (g_child_watch_prepare), (g_child_watch_check),
945 (child_watch_helper_thread): Remove some dead code. Closes
948 2005-09-07 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
950 * glib/Makefile.am: Create also a console version of the
951 gspawn-win32-helper program, gspawn-win32-helper-console.exe.
952 It's otherwise identical to gspawn-win32-helper.exe, except marked
953 as a console application (linked without the -mwindows option).
955 * glib/gspawn-win32.c (do_spawn_directly, do_spawn_with_pipes):
956 Drop the dont_wait parameter. Its truth value correlated 100% with
957 the NULLness of the exit_status parameter anyway, so it's enough
958 to check whether exit_status is NULL. Invert the sense of the
959 dont_return_handle parameter and rename it to do_return_handle, to
960 make the code easier to read by avoiding double negations.
962 (g_spawn_sync_utf8, g_spawn_async_with_pipes_utf8): Modify calls
963 to do_spawn_with_pipes() accordingly.
965 (do_spawn_with_pipes): If we have a console, use the console
966 version of the helper program, otherwise use the GUI one. This
967 avoids extra console windows opening up in some situations. (In
968 case a console application uses the GUI gspawn-win32-helper.exe to
969 spawn another console application we would get a separate console
970 for the spawned console application).
972 * glib-zip.in: Distribute also gspawn-win32-helper-console.exe.
974 2005-09-05 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
976 * glib/gmappedfile.c (g_mapped_file_new): Report an error
977 if the file is too large. (#315275, Kjartan Maraas)
979 * glib/gkeyfile.c (g_key_file_load_from_fd): The return value
980 of read() is signed. (#315273, Kjartan Maraas)
982 2005-08-31 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
984 * glib/gutils.h: Wrapping atexit() is a bad idea on Windows, where
985 the EXE and each DLL have their own atexit function chains.
987 #define g_atexit as atexit instead. This means it has a
988 better chance of doing what the caller wants. For instance,
989 gtkhtml calls g_atexit() registering a function in gtkhtml
990 itself. This caused a crash when g_atexit() was implemented as a
991 function in the GLib DLL. The gtkhtml DLL was already unloaded by
992 the time the GLib DLL got unloaded.
994 * glib/gutils.c: #undef the #define mentioned above, to also get a
995 real g_atexit() into the DLL for backward compatibility. Document
996 the Windows behaviour of g_atexit(), and document the varying ways
997 atexit() can behave in the context of dynamically loaded modules
1000 2005-08-31 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
1002 * glib/glib.symbols:
1004 * glib/gdataset.c: Add string interning functions.
1006 2005-08-28 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
1008 * glib/giochannel.c: Unify some near-duplicate strings. (#314654,
1011 2005-08-26 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
1013 * configure.in: Bump version to 2.9.0
1015 2005-08-25 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
1017 Make also the g_spawn*() functions take parameters in the GLib
1018 file name encoding, i.e. UTF-8, on Windows. Has no impact on Unix
1019 API or ABI. Like the other GLib API that was earlier changed to
1020 use UTF-8 on Windows, the names of the functions that take UTF-8
1021 have _utf8 suffixes added by using preprocessor macros in the
1022 header file. The old names are kept for functions with the old
1023 behaviour, taking parameters in the system codepage, for DLL ABI
1026 * glib/gspawn.h: On Win32 add the suffix _utf8 to the names of the
1027 g_spawn*() functions.
1029 * glib/gspawn-win32.c: Use wide-char API on NT-based
1030 Windows. Convert parameters from UTF-8 to wide chars (NT) or
1031 system codepage (Win9x) and call the C library _wspawn*() or
1032 spawn*() functions respectvely. Add DLL ABI stability versions
1033 that take parameters in the system codepage.
1035 * glib/gspawn-win32-helper.c: On NT-based Windows use the
1036 wide-char versions of argv and envp, and use wide-char API to
1037 change directory and spawn the program to run. Remove the verbose
1038 debugging output, it was too complex to modify for the wide-char
1039 features. (Just add temporary debugging printouts if needed, no
1040 need to have them permanently in the source.)
1042 * glib/gspawn.c: Corresponding documentation updates.
1044 * glib/glib.symbols: Corresponding changes: Mark the ABI stability
1045 symbols as PRIVATE, add the new _utf8-suffixed ones.
1047 2005-08-24 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
1049 * glib/gtypes.h (G_MININT64): Cast the constant to gint64; it is
1050 guint64 otherwise and that can produce warnings about comparison
1051 between signed and unsigned.
1053 2005-08-23 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
1055 * glib/gutils.c: Fix the crt_externs.h include.
1057 2005-08-23 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
1059 * NEWS: Fix spelling of my first name.

1088 Add tests for new optimisation, and fix a leak.
1090 2005-08-17 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
1092 * configure.in: Check for crt_externs.h and _NSGetEnviron.
1094 * glib/gutils.c: On Darwin, include crt-externs.h and
1095 define environ using _NSGetEnviron(). (#313731)
1097 2005-08-16 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
1099 * glib/gutils.c (g_get_any_init): Move the body of the big if...
1100 (g_get_any_init_do): ... to this new function.
1101 (g_get_any_init): Declare as inline.
1102 (g_get_any_init_locked): New inline function, does the locking.
1103 Make use of these two throughout the code.
1105 2005-08-15 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
1107 * glib/gbacktrace.c (g_on_error_stack_trace): Wait for
1108 the child process and then simply return. This makes
1109 The "S" option work as documented in g_on_error_query().
1110 (#313125, Matthew F. Barnes)
1112 * glib/gunicode.h: Update the link to Unicode category
1113 values. (#313369, Behnam Esfahbod)
1115 * glib/gqueue.c (g_queue_find_custom): Clarify docs
1116 a little. (#311727, Tristan van Berkom)
1118 * glib/abicheck.sh, gobject/abicheck.sh: Make the
1119 check work on ia64 too, where some symbols ended up
1120 in yet another section.
