9 * glib/gutils.c (g_listenv): Separate implementation on Win32: Use
10 the wide character API on NT-based Windows. Return UTF-8 strings.
12 * glib/glib.symbols: Don't mark g_listenv as PRIVATE, as that
13 meant it wasn't present in the import library. PRIVATE is used
14 only for the backwards-compatibility DLL ABI stability hacks.

69 Tue Feb 14 17:00:43 2006 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
71 * glib/gslice.c: only define _XOPEN_SOURCE to 600 to get at
72 posix_memalign() in case we actually are going to use it, because
73 we detected a compliant implementation (#328997).
75 * configure.in (enable_included_printf): don't include malloc.h when
76 testing for posix_memalign() funcitonality, since this may break the

192 Mon Jan 23 16:46:20 2006 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
194 * glib/gslice.c (slice_config_init): initialize GSlice config from
195 G_SLICE environment variable. we support G_SLICE=always-malloc
196 currently, which forces all g_slice_*() allocations to use the system
200 g_parse_debug_string(): added a note about not using g_malloc() here.
201 _g_getenv_nomalloc(): getenv() variant that doesn't use g_malloc or
202 g_slice. contains only guesswork in the WIN32 branch.

217 2006-01-17 Sebastian Wilhelmi <seppi@seppi.de>
219 * glib/gthreadpool.c: To avoid deadlocks get rid of the settings
220 G_LOCK. Use the unused_thread_queue lock instead. Change
221 g_thread_pool_thread_proxy such that threads only wait on
222 non-exlusive pools for at most a 1/2 second. Do not reorder tasks
223 due to superfluous tasks. Global tasks wait at most for
224 max-idle-time milliseconds. Make sure, that no task is woken up
225 twice for the same event via a wakeup_serial. This fixes #324228.
227 * tests/threadpool-test.c: Adapt test accordingly. Do not pass
228 invalid NULL into the thread pools. This as well fixes #327290.

365 2006-01-01 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
367 * glib/gspawn-win32.c (g_spawn_sync_utf8): Set the GIOChannels for

425 to sort tasks pushed into a threadpool. (#324479, Martyn Russell)
427 * tests/threadpool-test.c: Test this.
429 Tue Dec 20 18:14:14 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
431 * glib/gslice.[hc]: added mem_error() and mem_assert() to test and
432 handle errors without depending on gmessage.c which might not be
433 setup when the error occours.
434 removed G_SLICE_CONFIG_ALWAYS_FREE config option, fixed the code so
435 always freeing can be achieved by adjusting the working set time to
436 0 with G_SLICE_CONFIG_WORKING_SET_MSECS.
437 added G_SLICE_CONFIG_COLOR_INCREMENT to test different color increments
438 (mainly 0 and 1). reduced the minimum block size to 128 bytes, to
439 minimize wastage if small amounts of differently sized structrues are
440 allocated, this does come at a performance cost of roughly 5% though.
441 fixed up block alignment calculation, so it works for varying
442 block sizes. only use strerror() not g_strerror() since the latter
443 depends on working GQuark and GSlice.
444 mem_error(): implemented in terms of fprintf and vfprintf.
446 * tests/slice-color.c: new program to test cache colorization effects.
448 * tests/slice-test.c: trade G_SLICE_CONFIG_ALWAYS_FREE for 0 duration
449 G_SLICE_CONFIG_WORKING_SET_MSECS.

454 failure cases. (#324332, Tim-Philipp Müller)
456 2005-12-17 Sebastian Wilhelmi <seppi@seppi.de>
458 * glib/gatomic.c: Fix memory barrier position in g_atomic_int_get
459 and g_atomic_pointer_get. Add g_atomic_int_set and
460 g_atomic_pointer_set implementations for the !DEFINE_WITH_MUTEXES &&
461 G_ATOMIC_OP_MEMORY_BARRIER_NEEDED case, as well as defining them
462 as functions (additionally to the macros in the header) for the
463 !G_ATOMIC_OP_MEMORY_BARRIER_NEEDED case.
465 2005-12-16 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
467 * glib/gmem.c (g_allocator_new): Don't return a pointer to
468 a const struct, since apps expect to be able to modify it.
469 (#324179, J. Ali Harlow)
471 Tue Dec 13 10:13:32 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
473 * glib/gatomic.h: added g_atomic_pointer_set() and g_atomic_int_set()
474 for systems where the initialization of atomic variables requires a
475 write memory barrier.

497 - Call g_queue_insert_sorted() instead of duplicating the code.
498 - Call g_queue_sort() instead of duplicating the code.
499 - Invert sort function results to make sure the same sort function
500 gives the same results across glist, gslist, gqueue and

504 - Updated the sort function to reflect the example in the
505 documentation for gasyncqueue.c.

525 2005-12-06 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
527 * glib/gmem.h: Exempt GTK+ from the mem chunk deprecation, since
528 we need GTK+ 2.8 to compile against GLib 2.10.
530 2005-12-05 Manish Singh <yosh@gimp.org>
532 * tests/run-collate-test.sh: set LC_COLLATE, not LANG, to be sure

567 * tests/asyncqueue-test.c:
568 - Added test case for gasyncqueue.c
570 Mon Dec 5 15:53:20 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
572 * glib/gslice.c: implement chain walking for arbitrary ->next pointer
573 offsets in g_slice_free_chain_with_offset() based on a patch by behdad
574 in bug 323178. moved time consuming logic from g_slice_free() out of
575 the inner loop, so g_slice_free_chain_with_offset() provides a real
576 performance benefit over g_slice_free1() now.
578 * glib/gslice.h: renamed g_slice_free_chain() to
579 g_slice_free_chain_with_offset(). implemented g_slice_free_chain() as
580 a type-safe macro as suggested in bug 323178.
581 simplified the macro implementation of g_slice_free() and implemented
582 it in a type safe manner for all compliers as suggested by Morten
583 Welinder <mortenw@gnome.org>.

604 2005-12-04 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
606 Handle multiple user names with the same UID better.
607 (#319535, Laszlo Peter)
609 * glib/gutils.c (g_get_any_init_do): When determining user
610 data, first look up $LOGNAME. If the UID doesn't match
611 getuid(), fall back to the current behaviour of looking
612 up the user data based on getuid().
614 2005-12-04 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
616 * glib/gmacros.h (G_GNUC_WARN_UNUSED_RESULT): Add a macro
617 to make gcc warn if a function result is ignored. (#145466,
618 Arjan van de Ven, Alex Larsson)
620 * glib/gmem.h: Add the new attribute to g_realloc and
623 2005-12-03 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>

629 * glib/gmappedfile.c: Make mapping of empty files
632 * glib/gfileutils.c: Don't fork a new process just to
633 fix the permissions of the created temp file. (#321318,
634 Alexis S. L. Carvalho)
636 2005-12-02 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
638 * README.in: Add a note about Solaris threads.
641 * configure.in: Remove support for Solaris threads.
642 (#136971, Sebastian Wilhelmi, patch by Andrew Paprocki)
644 2005-12-02 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
646 * configure.in: Define G_GUINT64_CONSTANT in analogy to
647 G_GINT64_CONSTANT. (#322568, Andrew Paprocki)

651 * glib/gslice.c: Win32 portability fixes and C99ism removal,
652 pointed out by Kazuki Iwamoto. (#323052)
654 2005-12-02 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
656 * glib/gatomic.c (g_atomic_int_add): Add a missing volatile for
657 the IA64 implementation.
659 Fri Dec 2 16:18:09 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
661 * glib/gslice.c: some naming and type size fixups.
663 Fri Dec 2 13:08:58 2005 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
665 * glib/gslice.h (g_slice_free): reworked GCC-specific type-safe macro
666 variant into something less verbose, but digestible for gcc-3.4.
668 Fri Dec 2 10:55:07 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
670 * tests/slice-test.c: extended to perform the benchmarking on the old
671 memchunk code if 'O' is selected.
673 * tests/memchunks.c: new file which contains the old GLib mem chunks
674 implementation with prefix old_mem_chunk_.
676 * tests/Makefile.am: added memchunks.c
678 Fri Dec 2 00:16:59 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
680 * glib/gslice.c: improved gettimeofday() timer resolution by maintaining
681 acceptable load distribution of the syscall.
682 (allocator_get_magazine_threshold): reduce minimum/single-thread magazine
683 sizes to approximately page_size/2.5 to avoid excessive startup allocations.
685 2005-12-01 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
687 * tests/gobject/ifacecheck.c (test_iface_base_init): Don't
688 double-free base interface members.
690 * tests/Makefile.am: Remove duplicate variable.
692 Thu Dec 1 17:32:46 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
694 * glib/gslice.[hc]: new slice allocator implementation.
696 * tests/slice-test.c: added random slice allocation test.
698 * glib/gthread.[hc]: removed newly added private thread mem API.
700 * glib/gthreadinit.h:
703 * glib/gmem.c: divided glib threading initialisation into three phases,
704 initialisation where private keys and messaging are not available (only
705 needed by gmem.c), initialisation without messaging but private keys
706 available (gslice.c, gmessage.c), and full fledged initialisers that
707 server the rest of glib. initialisation functions got renamed to reflect
708 the limitations of their corresponding phases.
710 * glib/gmem.c: removed memchunk code, defer allocations to
713 * glib/gmem.[hc]: removed g_slice_* skeletons.
715 * glib/glib.symbols: added g_slice_* symbols.
717 * configure.in: check for availability of posix_memalign(3), memalign(3)
720 * glib/Makefile.am: added gslice.[hc].
722 2005-12-01 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
724 * glib/gstdio.c (g_stat): In the Win32 implementation, strip
725 trailing slash(es) for non-root folders. stat() fails if non-root
726 folders are specified with trailing slashes. It's too much hassle
727 to demand that callers strip such slashes themselves, especially
728 as it is easy to get it wrong and strip the slash of a root
730 (g_rename): On NT-based Windows, use MoveFileEx() with
731 MOVEFILE_REPLACE_EXISTING to better match Unix behaviour.
733 2005-11-28 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
735 Fix G_STMT_START / G_STMT_END on Solaris. (#321972,
738 * configure.in: Check whether do { } while (0) works.
740 * glib/gmacros.h: Use do { } while (0) for G_STMT_START /
741 G_STMT_END if it works.
743 2005-11-28 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>

752 2005-11-27 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
754 * glib/gunicollate.c (g_utf8_collate_key_for_filename):
755 Don't read beyond len. (#322520, Christian Persch)
757 Wed Nov 23 17:34:01 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
759 * glib/gdataset.c: access datalist flags via atomic pointer access
760 functions, instead of acquiring the dataset lock. this is faster and
761 also matches the atomic pointer readouts in gdatalistprivate.h and
762 direct pointer modifications required by gobject.c.
764 Wed Nov 23 13:35:31 2005 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
766 * glib/gdataset.c: streamlined initialization code somewhat,
767 removed GData node cache.
769 2005-11-22 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
771 * glib/ghash.c (g_hash_table_ref):
772 (g_hash_table_unref): Mark these as new API.
774 Avoid double locking in g_intern_string (#322133,
777 * glib/gdataset.c (g_quark_from_string_internal): New
778 internal function which factors out common parts of
779 g_quark_from[_static]_string.
780 (g_quark_from_string, g_quark_from_static_string):
781 Use g_quark_from_string_internal.
782 (g_intern_string, g_intern_static_string): Use
783 g_quark_from_string_internal, and only take the
785 (g_quark_new): Don't store the strings shifted by -1
786 in the g_quarks array.
787 (g_quark_to_string): Adapt to the previous change.
789 Tue Nov 22 14:04:26 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
793 g_hash_table_new_full(): create hash tables with a ref count of 1.
794 g_hash_table_ref(): atomically ref_count+=1
795 g_hash_table_unref(): atomically ref_count-=1, destroys hash table
796 when refcount reaches 0.
797 g_hash_table_destroy(): just destroy keys and values, unref by 1.
798 g_hash_table_insert():
799 g_hash_table_replace(): assert ref_count>0.
802 * glib/gatomic.c: added 'volatile' qualifier to all atomic pointer and
805 2005-11-20 Behdad Esfahbod <behdad@gnome.org>
807 * glib/guniprop.c (g_unichar_get_mirror_char): Remove unused
808 variables. (#321984, Andrew Paprocki)
810 2005-11-18 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>

827 * README.in: Updates.
831 * glib/gdate.c (g_date_set_time_t):
832 (g_date_set_time_val): Add functions to set a date from
833 a time_t and from a GTimeVal.
834 (g_date_set_time): Deprecate. (#314067, Roger Leigh)
837 * tests/utf8-pointer.c: Unit tests for g_utf8_pointer_to_offset
838 and g_utf8_offset_to_pointer.
840 * glib/gutf8.c (g_utf8_pointer_to_offset)
841 (g_utf8_offset_to_pointer): Handle negative offsets, and use
842 "stutter stepping" for going backwards. (#320638, Larry
847 * glib/gthread.c: const correctness fixes, found
848 by Arjan van de Ven and gcc.
850 2005-11-16 Behdad Esfahbod <behdad@gnome.org>
852 * docs/reference/glib/tmpl/unicode.sgml: Correct typo on mentioning
853 @G_UNICODE_BREAK_UNKNOWN that should be #G_UNICODE_BREAK_UNKNOWN.
855 2005-11-09 Behdad Esfahbod <behdad@gnome.org>
857 * glib/guniprop.c: Use bit hacks instead when checking a general
858 category value against multiple values.

866 2005-11-05 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
868 * glib/giowin32.c (g_io_win32_set_flags): Don't call g_warning().
869 (#320688) Instead set error and return failure.
871 2005-11-07 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
873 * glib/gmain.c (g_main_dispatch): Don't call cb_funcs->unref
874 while holding the context lock. (#320886, Andy Wingo)
876 2005-11-07 Billy Biggs <vektor@dumbterm.net>
878 * tests/refcount/Makefile.am: Add a missing reference to libglib
879 in the LDADD for this test.
881 2005-11-07 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
883 * glib/gmem.c (g_allocator_new): We need to set n_preallocs to a
884 nonzero value, otherwise GTK+ 2.8 breaks when compiled against
885 GLib 2.9. (#320755, Luca Ferretti)
887 2005-11-04 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
889 * glib/Makefile.am: Apply a patch from Behdad Esfahbod to
890 use a faster lookup table for g_unichar_get_mirror_char().
891 * glib/gmirroringtable.h: The new table.
892 * glib/gunichartables.h: Remove bidi_mirroring_table.
893 * glib/gen-unicode-tables.pl: Don't generate the mirroring
895 * glib/glib-mirroring-tab/*: Sources for the program
896 which generated gmirroringtable.h.
898 * glib/glist.c: Avoid some code duplication.
900 * glib/gscanner.h: Include gdataset.h. (#320322)
902 * glib/gdebug.h: add new GDebugFlag for fatal_criticals
903 * glib/gmessages.c: (_g_debug_init): handle G_DEBUG=fatal_criticals,
904 to help find critical warnings in applications. (#320017,
907 2005-11-02 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
909 * glib/glib.symbols: Remove large amount of trailing whitespace
910 from one line. Remove #ifdef G_UNDEFINED from around
911 g_hash_table_new and g_hash_table_new_full symbols, what was the
912 purpose of that? Add the g_slice functions.
914 Tue Nov 1 16:24:20 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
916 * glib/gmem.[hc]: prepared deprecation of GMemChunk and GAllocator.
917 added g_slice_*() API to allocate and cache small bits of memory.
918 an actuall allocator implementation for g_slice_*() is still pending.
920 * glib/gthread.[hc]: changes from a patch by Matthias Clasen.
921 changed GRealThread list to use in-structure *next; fields instead
922 of GSList, in order for thread iteration to not depenend on g_slice_*()
924 _g_thread_mem_private_get():
925 _g_thread_mem_private_set(): added accessors for private memory,
926 needed because the ordinary GPrivate implementation relies on GArray
927 and GSList and therefore indirectly on working g_slice_*() allocations.
930 g_thread_foreach(): new public API function to loop over all existing threads.
944 removed GAllocator and free list usages and accompanying locks.
945 use g_slice_*() API to allocate and cache small bits of memory.
947 * glib/ghook.h: removed GMemChunk field from public API.
950 * glib/glist.h: deprecate allocator API, provide _free1() for consistency.
952 * glib/gnode.h: deprecate allocator API.
954 * glib/gmain.c: reordered GPollRec fields so g_slice_free_chain() can
955 be used for poll rec lists.
957 * glib/grel.c: removed mem chunk usage, and allocated tuples via g_slice_*().
958 g_relation_destroy(): free all tuples from the all_tuples hash table,
959 this effectively maintains the life time track keeping of tuples.
960 g_relation_delete_tuple(): free tuples which are removed from the
961 all_tuples hash table. this fixes a temporary leak that was present
962 in the memchunk code until the destruction of the relation.
964 2005-10-29 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
966 * tests/convert-test.c: Add some tests for conversions between
967 UTF-8, UCS-4 and UTF-16.
969 * glib/gutf8.c (g_utf8_to_ucs4, g_utf8_to_utf16): Fix handling
970 of len == -1, noticed by Morten Welinder.
972 2005-10-27 Erdal Ronahi <erdal.ronahi@gmail.com>
974 * configure.in: Added ku (Kurdish) to ALL_LINGUAS
976 2005-10-26 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
978 * glib/gutf8.c (g_ucs4_to_utf8): Don't set items_read twice
979 in the error case, and add some documentation. (#319806, Morten
982 2005-10-19 Manish Singh <yosh@gimp.org>
984 * configure.in: Use AC_CHECK_FUNCS for _NSGetEnviron, to get the
985 config.h symbol automatically. Fixes bug #313731.
987 2005-10-19 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
989 * glib/gwin32.c (g_win32_get_package_installation_directory):
990 Return a g_strdup()ed copy of the value stored in the hash table,
991 so that it can be g_free()d without leaving a dangling pointer in
992 the hash table. (#319232)
994 2005-10-06 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
996 * glib/gunicollate.c (g_utf8_collate_key_for_filename): Handle
997 all-zero sequences correctly. (#317930, Sebastien Bacher)
999 2005-10-05 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
1001 * glib/gmarkup.c (g_markup_escape_text): Doc addition
1003 * Makefile.am: Add Collation tests.
1005 * tests/collate/*: Inputs and expected outputs for collation tests.
1007 * tests/run-collate-tests.sh: Script to run collation tests.
1009 * tests/unicode-collate.c (main): Rework slightly to make
1010 it usable in unit tests. Also test g_utf8_collate_key_for_filename().
1012 2005-10-01 Behdad Esfahbod <behdad@gnome.org>
1014 * docs/reference/glib/tmpl/unicode.sgml:
1015 * glib/gen-unicode-tables.pl:
1017 * glib/gunichartables.h:
1019 * tests/casefold.txt:
1020 * tests/casemap.txt: Updated to Unicode 4.1. There are five new
1021 GUnicodeBreakType types. That may break some applications, like
1024 2005-09-26 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
1026 * glib/gstrfuncs.c (g_ascii_strtoull): Add details to the
1027 docs. (#314393, Matthew F. Barnes)
1029 * glib/glib.symbols:
1030 * glib/gprintf.h: Remove g_snprintf() and g_vsnprintf(), since
1031 they are already declared in glib.h. This doesn't break documented
1032 use of gprintf.h, but should probably be pointed out in the
1033 release notes for 2.10. (#314232, Behdad Esfahbod)
1035 Tue Sep 20 13:16:04 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
1037 * glib/gpattern.c (g_pattern_ph_match): applied significant recursion
1038 complexity optimization, based on a patch from Matthias Clasen.
1040 * tests/patterntest.c: more tests, mostly from matthias.
1042 2005-09-20 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
1044 * glib/gqueue.c (g_queue_insert_sorted): Correct the docs.
1045 (#316703, Mark Drago)
1047 Mon Sep 19 17:23:23 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
1049 * glib/gpattern.c: applied a patch from matthias which checks on the
1050 upper bound of GPatternSpec length to optimize matches.
1053 * tests/patterntest.c: added more match cases.
1055 2005-09-16 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
1057 * glib/gstrfuncs.c (g_ascii_strcasecmp, g_ascii_strncasecmp): Add
1058 warning to doc comment that these functions should not be used on
1059 encodings like CP932.
1061 2005-09-14 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
1063 * tests/keyfile-test.c: Add a test for grup names of length 1.
1065 * glib/gkeyfile.c (g_key_file_line_is_group): Accept group names
1066 of length 1. (#316309)
1068 2005-09-12 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
1070 * glib/gmarkup.c (g_markup_escape_text): Clarify docs.
1072 2005-09-11 Sebastian Wilhelmi <seppi@seppi.de>
1074 * tests/refcount/Makefile.am (INCLUDES): Link the the refcount
1075 tests to the system thread library $(G_THREAD_LIBS). Fixes #313744
1078 2005-09-11 Kjartan Maraas <kmaraas@gnome.org>
1080 * glib/gmain.c: (g_child_watch_prepare), (g_child_watch_check),
1081 (child_watch_helper_thread): Remove some dead code. Closes
1084 2005-09-07 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
1086 * glib/Makefile.am: Create also a console version of the
1087 gspawn-win32-helper program, gspawn-win32-helper-console.exe.
1088 It's otherwise identical to gspawn-win32-helper.exe, except marked
1089 as a console application (linked without the -mwindows option).
1091 * glib/gspawn-win32.c (do_spawn_directly, do_spawn_with_pipes):
1092 Drop the dont_wait parameter. Its truth value correlated 100% with
1093 the NULLness of the exit_status parameter anyway, so it's enough
1094 to check whether exit_status is NULL. Invert the sense of the
1095 dont_return_handle parameter and rename it to do_return_handle, to
1096 make the code easier to read by avoiding double negations.
1098 (g_spawn_sync_utf8, g_spawn_async_with_pipes_utf8): Modify calls
1099 to do_spawn_with_pipes() accordingly.
1101 (do_spawn_with_pipes): If we have a console, use the console
1102 version of the helper program, otherwise use the GUI one. This
1103 avoids extra console windows opening up in some situations. (In
1104 case a console application uses the GUI gspawn-win32-helper.exe to
1105 spawn another console application we would get a separate console
1106 for the spawned console application).
1108 * glib-zip.in: Distribute also gspawn-win32-helper-console.exe.
1110 2005-09-05 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
1112 * glib/gmappedfile.c (g_mapped_file_new): Report an error
1113 if the file is too large. (#315275, Kjartan Maraas)
1115 * glib/gkeyfile.c (g_key_file_load_from_fd): The return value
1116 of read() is signed. (#315273, Kjartan Maraas)
1118 2005-08-31 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
1120 * glib/gutils.h: Wrapping atexit() is a bad idea on Windows, where
1121 the EXE and each DLL have their own atexit function chains.
1123 #define g_atexit as atexit instead. This means it has a
1124 better chance of doing what the caller wants. For instance,
1125 gtkhtml calls g_atexit() registering a function in gtkhtml
1126 itself. This caused a crash when g_atexit() was implemented as a
1127 function in the GLib DLL. The gtkhtml DLL was already unloaded by
1128 the time the GLib DLL got unloaded.
1130 * glib/gutils.c: #undef the #define mentioned above, to also get a
1131 real g_atexit() into the DLL for backward compatibility. Document
1132 the Windows behaviour of g_atexit(), and document the varying ways
1133 atexit() can behave in the context of dynamically loaded modules
1136 2005-08-31 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
1138 * glib/glib.symbols:
1140 * glib/gdataset.c: Add string interning functions.
1142 2005-08-28 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
1144 * glib/giochannel.c: Unify some near-duplicate strings. (#314654,
1147 2005-08-26 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
1149 * configure.in: Bump version to 2.9.0
1151 2005-08-25 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
1153 Make also the g_spawn*() functions take parameters in the GLib
1154 file name encoding, i.e. UTF-8, on Windows. Has no impact on Unix
1155 API or ABI. Like the other GLib API that was earlier changed to
1156 use UTF-8 on Windows, the names of the functions that take UTF-8
1157 have _utf8 suffixes added by using preprocessor macros in the
1158 header file. The old names are kept for functions with the old
1159 behaviour, taking parameters in the system codepage, for DLL ABI
1162 * glib/gspawn.h: On Win32 add the suffix _utf8 to the names of the
1163 g_spawn*() functions.
1165 * glib/gspawn-win32.c: Use wide-char API on NT-based
1166 Windows. Convert parameters from UTF-8 to wide chars (NT) or
1167 system codepage (Win9x) and call the C library _wspawn*() or
1168 spawn*() functions respectvely. Add DLL ABI stability versions
1169 that take parameters in the system codepage.
1171 * glib/gspawn-win32-helper.c: On NT-based Windows use the
1172 wide-char versions of argv and envp, and use wide-char API to
1173 change directory and spawn the program to run. Remove the verbose
1174 debugging output, it was too complex to modify for the wide-char
1175 features. (Just add temporary debugging printouts if needed, no
1176 need to have them permanently in the source.)
1178 * glib/gspawn.c: Corresponding documentation updates.
