4 which freed a thread pool (#331110, Chris Wilson).
6 Tue Feb 14 17:00:43 2006 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
8 * glib/gslice.c: only define _XOPEN_SOURCE to 600 to get at
9 posix_memalign() in case we actually are going to use it, because
10 we detected a compliant implementation (#328997).
12 * configure.in (enable_included_printf): don't include malloc.h when
13 testing for posix_memalign() funcitonality, since this may break the

88 the first allocation. applied some branching optimizations.
90 * docs/macros.txt: reflected --enable-gc-friendly change and
91 described ENABLE_GC_FRIENDLY_DEFAULT as well as G_DEBUG=gc-friendly.
93 * configure.in: changed --enable-gc-friendly=yes to define
94 ENABLE_GC_FRIENDLY_DEFAULT.
96 * glib/garray.c: changed ENABLE_GC_FRIENDLY macro #ifdef-s to

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

154 2006-01-17 Sebastian Wilhelmi <seppi@seppi.de>
156 * glib/gthreadpool.c: To avoid deadlocks get rid of the settings
157 G_LOCK. Use the unused_thread_queue lock instead. Change
158 g_thread_pool_thread_proxy such that threads only wait on
159 non-exlusive pools for at most a 1/2 second. Do not reorder tasks
160 due to superfluous tasks. Global tasks wait at most for
161 max-idle-time milliseconds. Make sure, that no task is woken up
162 twice for the same event via a wakeup_serial. This fixes #324228.
164 * tests/threadpool-test.c: Adapt test accordingly. Do not pass
165 invalid NULL into the thread pools. This as well fixes #327290.

184 Fix bug 326747, Alberto Ruiz:
186 * glib/gconvert.c (make_valid_utf8): Change this function to

188 instead of '?', and don't append "(invalid encoding)".
189 (g_filename_display_name, g_filename_display_basename): Document
190 how to determine if the filename was in an invalid encoding.

302 2006-01-01 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
304 * glib/gspawn-win32.c (g_spawn_sync_utf8): Set the GIOChannels for

362 to sort tasks pushed into a threadpool. (#324479, Martyn Russell)
364 * tests/threadpool-test.c: Test this.
366 Tue Dec 20 18:14:14 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
368 * glib/gslice.[hc]: added mem_error() and mem_assert() to test and
369 handle errors without depending on gmessage.c which might not be
370 setup when the error occours.
371 removed G_SLICE_CONFIG_ALWAYS_FREE config option, fixed the code so
372 always freeing can be achieved by adjusting the working set time to
373 0 with G_SLICE_CONFIG_WORKING_SET_MSECS.
374 added G_SLICE_CONFIG_COLOR_INCREMENT to test different color increments
375 (mainly 0 and 1). reduced the minimum block size to 128 bytes, to
376 minimize wastage if small amounts of differently sized structrues are
377 allocated, this does come at a performance cost of roughly 5% though.
378 fixed up block alignment calculation, so it works for varying
379 block sizes. only use strerror() not g_strerror() since the latter
380 depends on working GQuark and GSlice.
381 mem_error(): implemented in terms of fprintf and vfprintf.
383 * tests/slice-color.c: new program to test cache colorization effects.
385 * tests/slice-test.c: trade G_SLICE_CONFIG_ALWAYS_FREE for 0 duration
386 G_SLICE_CONFIG_WORKING_SET_MSECS.

391 failure cases. (#324332, Tim-Philipp Müller)
393 2005-12-17 Sebastian Wilhelmi <seppi@seppi.de>
395 * glib/gatomic.c: Fix memory barrier position in g_atomic_int_get
396 and g_atomic_pointer_get. Add g_atomic_int_set and
397 g_atomic_pointer_set implementations for the !DEFINE_WITH_MUTEXES &&
398 G_ATOMIC_OP_MEMORY_BARRIER_NEEDED case, as well as defining them
399 as functions (additionally to the macros in the header) for the
400 !G_ATOMIC_OP_MEMORY_BARRIER_NEEDED case.
402 2005-12-16 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
404 * glib/gmem.c (g_allocator_new): Don't return a pointer to
405 a const struct, since apps expect to be able to modify it.
406 (#324179, J. Ali Harlow)
408 Tue Dec 13 10:13:32 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
410 * glib/gatomic.h: added g_atomic_pointer_set() and g_atomic_int_set()
411 for systems where the initialization of atomic variables requires a
412 write memory barrier.

441 - Updated the sort function to reflect the example in the
442 documentation for gasyncqueue.c.

462 2005-12-06 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
464 * glib/gmem.h: Exempt GTK+ from the mem chunk deprecation, since
465 we need GTK+ 2.8 to compile against GLib 2.10.
467 2005-12-05 Manish Singh <yosh@gimp.org>
469 * tests/run-collate-test.sh: set LC_COLLATE, not LANG, to be sure

505 - Added test case for gasyncqueue.c
507 Mon Dec 5 15:53:20 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
509 * glib/gslice.c: implement chain walking for arbitrary ->next pointer
510 offsets in g_slice_free_chain_with_offset() based on a patch by behdad
511 in bug 323178. moved time consuming logic from g_slice_free() out of
512 the inner loop, so g_slice_free_chain_with_offset() provides a real
513 performance benefit over g_slice_free1() now.
515 * glib/gslice.h: renamed g_slice_free_chain() to
516 g_slice_free_chain_with_offset(). implemented g_slice_free_chain() as
517 a type-safe macro as suggested in bug 323178.
518 simplified the macro implementation of g_slice_free() and implemented
519 it in a type safe manner for all compliers as suggested by Morten
520 Welinder <mortenw@gnome.org>.

546 * glib/gutils.c (g_get_any_init_do): When determining user
547 data, first look up $LOGNAME. If the UID doesn't match

607 * tests/slice-test.c: extended to perform the benchmarking on the old
608 memchunk code if 'O' is selected.
610 * tests/memchunks.c: new file which contains the old GLib mem chunks
611 implementation with prefix old_mem_chunk_.
613 * tests/Makefile.am: added memchunks.c
615 Fri Dec 2 00:16:59 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
617 * glib/gslice.c: improved gettimeofday() timer resolution by maintaining
618 acceptable load distribution of the syscall.
619 (allocator_get_magazine_threshold): reduce minimum/single-thread magazine
620 sizes to approximately page_size/2.5 to avoid excessive startup allocations.
622 2005-12-01 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
624 * tests/gobject/ifacecheck.c (test_iface_base_init): Don't
625 double-free base interface members.
627 * tests/Makefile.am: Remove duplicate variable.
629 Thu Dec 1 17:32:46 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
631 * glib/gslice.[hc]: new slice allocator implementation.
633 * tests/slice-test.c: added random slice allocation test.
635 * glib/gthread.[hc]: removed newly added private thread mem API.
637 * glib/gthreadinit.h:
640 * glib/gmem.c: divided glib threading initialisation into three phases,
641 initialisation where private keys and messaging are not available (only
642 needed by gmem.c), initialisation without messaging but private keys
643 available (gslice.c, gmessage.c), and full fledged initialisers that
644 server the rest of glib. initialisation functions got renamed to reflect
645 the limitations of their corresponding phases.
647 * glib/gmem.c: removed memchunk code, defer allocations to
650 * glib/gmem.[hc]: removed g_slice_* skeletons.
652 * glib/glib.symbols: added g_slice_* symbols.
654 * configure.in: check for availability of posix_memalign(3), memalign(3)
657 * glib/Makefile.am: added gslice.[hc].
659 2005-12-01 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
661 * glib/gstdio.c (g_stat): In the Win32 implementation, strip
662 trailing slash(es) for non-root folders. stat() fails if non-root
663 folders are specified with trailing slashes. It's too much hassle
664 to demand that callers strip such slashes themselves, especially
665 as it is easy to get it wrong and strip the slash of a root
667 (g_rename): On NT-based Windows, use MoveFileEx() with
668 MOVEFILE_REPLACE_EXISTING to better match Unix behaviour.
670 2005-11-28 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
672 Fix G_STMT_START / G_STMT_END on Solaris. (#321972,
675 * configure.in: Check whether do { } while (0) works.
677 * glib/gmacros.h: Use do { } while (0) for G_STMT_START /
678 G_STMT_END if it works.
680 2005-11-28 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
682 * glib/gthread.c (g_static_rw_lock_wait, g_static_rw_lock_signal):

689 2005-11-27 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
691 * glib/gunicollate.c (g_utf8_collate_key_for_filename):
692 Don't read beyond len. (#322520, Christian Persch)
694 Wed Nov 23 17:34:01 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
696 * glib/gdataset.c: access datalist flags via atomic pointer access
697 functions, instead of acquiring the dataset lock. this is faster and
698 also matches the atomic pointer readouts in gdatalistprivate.h and
699 direct pointer modifications required by gobject.c.
701 Wed Nov 23 13:35:31 2005 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
703 * glib/gdataset.c: streamlined initialization code somewhat,
704 removed GData node cache.
706 2005-11-22 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
708 * glib/ghash.c (g_hash_table_ref):
709 (g_hash_table_unref): Mark these as new API.
711 Avoid double locking in g_intern_string (#322133,
714 * glib/gdataset.c (g_quark_from_string_internal): New
715 internal function which factors out common parts of
716 g_quark_from[_static]_string.
717 (g_quark_from_string, g_quark_from_static_string):
718 Use g_quark_from_string_internal.
719 (g_intern_string, g_intern_static_string): Use
720 g_quark_from_string_internal, and only take the
722 (g_quark_new): Don't store the strings shifted by -1
723 in the g_quarks array.
724 (g_quark_to_string): Adapt to the previous change.
726 Tue Nov 22 14:04:26 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
730 g_hash_table_new_full(): create hash tables with a ref count of 1.
731 g_hash_table_ref(): atomically ref_count+=1
732 g_hash_table_unref(): atomically ref_count-=1, destroys hash table
733 when refcount reaches 0.
734 g_hash_table_destroy(): just destroy keys and values, unref by 1.
735 g_hash_table_insert():
736 g_hash_table_replace(): assert ref_count>0.
739 * glib/gatomic.c: added 'volatile' qualifier to all atomic pointer and
742 2005-11-20 Behdad Esfahbod <behdad@gnome.org>
744 * glib/guniprop.c (g_unichar_get_mirror_char): Remove unused
745 variables. (#321984, Andrew Paprocki)
747 2005-11-18 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
749 * configure.in: Bump version
751 2005-11-17 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>

764 * README.in: Updates.
768 * glib/gdate.c (g_date_set_time_t):
769 (g_date_set_time_val): Add functions to set a date from
770 a time_t and from a GTimeVal.
771 (g_date_set_time): Deprecate. (#314067, Roger Leigh)
774 * tests/utf8-pointer.c: Unit tests for g_utf8_pointer_to_offset
775 and g_utf8_offset_to_pointer.
777 * glib/gutf8.c (g_utf8_pointer_to_offset)
778 (g_utf8_offset_to_pointer): Handle negative offsets, and use
779 "stutter stepping" for going backwards. (#320638, Larry
784 * glib/gthread.c: const correctness fixes, found
785 by Arjan van de Ven and gcc.
787 2005-11-16 Behdad Esfahbod <behdad@gnome.org>
789 * docs/reference/glib/tmpl/unicode.sgml: Correct typo on mentioning
790 @G_UNICODE_BREAK_UNKNOWN that should be #G_UNICODE_BREAK_UNKNOWN.
792 2005-11-09 Behdad Esfahbod <behdad@gnome.org>
794 * glib/guniprop.c: Use bit hacks instead when checking a general
795 category value against multiple values.
797 * glib/gutf8.c: Change ISO10646 to Unicode in docs.
799 2005-11-10 Simos Xenitellis <simos@gnome.org>
801 * configure.in: Added tt (Tatar) to ALL_LINGUAS.
803 2005-11-05 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
805 * glib/giowin32.c (g_io_win32_set_flags): Don't call g_warning().
806 (#320688) Instead set error and return failure.
808 2005-11-07 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
810 * glib/gmain.c (g_main_dispatch): Don't call cb_funcs->unref
811 while holding the context lock. (#320886, Andy Wingo)
813 2005-11-07 Billy Biggs <vektor@dumbterm.net>
815 * tests/refcount/Makefile.am: Add a missing reference to libglib
816 in the LDADD for this test.
818 2005-11-07 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
820 * glib/gmem.c (g_allocator_new): We need to set n_preallocs to a
821 nonzero value, otherwise GTK+ 2.8 breaks when compiled against
822 GLib 2.9. (#320755, Luca Ferretti)
824 2005-11-04 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
826 * glib/Makefile.am: Apply a patch from Behdad Esfahbod to
827 use a faster lookup table for g_unichar_get_mirror_char().
828 * glib/gmirroringtable.h: The new table.
829 * glib/gunichartables.h: Remove bidi_mirroring_table.
830 * glib/gen-unicode-tables.pl: Don't generate the mirroring
832 * glib/glib-mirroring-tab/*: Sources for the program
833 which generated gmirroringtable.h.
835 * glib/glist.c: Avoid some code duplication.
837 * glib/gscanner.h: Include gdataset.h. (#320322)
839 * glib/gdebug.h: add new GDebugFlag for fatal_criticals
840 * glib/gmessages.c: (_g_debug_init): handle G_DEBUG=fatal_criticals,
841 to help find critical warnings in applications. (#320017,
844 2005-11-02 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
846 * glib/glib.symbols: Remove large amount of trailing whitespace
847 from one line. Remove #ifdef G_UNDEFINED from around
848 g_hash_table_new and g_hash_table_new_full symbols, what was the
849 purpose of that? Add the g_slice functions.
851 Tue Nov 1 16:24:20 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
853 * glib/gmem.[hc]: prepared deprecation of GMemChunk and GAllocator.
854 added g_slice_*() API to allocate and cache small bits of memory.
855 an actuall allocator implementation for g_slice_*() is still pending.
857 * glib/gthread.[hc]: changes from a patch by Matthias Clasen.
858 changed GRealThread list to use in-structure *next; fields instead
859 of GSList, in order for thread iteration to not depenend on g_slice_*()
861 _g_thread_mem_private_get():
862 _g_thread_mem_private_set(): added accessors for private memory,
863 needed because the ordinary GPrivate implementation relies on GArray
864 and GSList and therefore indirectly on working g_slice_*() allocations.
867 g_thread_foreach(): new public API function to loop over all existing threads.
881 removed GAllocator and free list usages and accompanying locks.
882 use g_slice_*() API to allocate and cache small bits of memory.
884 * glib/ghook.h: removed GMemChunk field from public API.
887 * glib/glist.h: deprecate allocator API, provide _free1() for consistency.
889 * glib/gnode.h: deprecate allocator API.
891 * glib/gmain.c: reordered GPollRec fields so g_slice_free_chain() can
892 be used for poll rec lists.
894 * glib/grel.c: removed mem chunk usage, and allocated tuples via g_slice_*().
895 g_relation_destroy(): free all tuples from the all_tuples hash table,
896 this effectively maintains the life time track keeping of tuples.
897 g_relation_delete_tuple(): free tuples which are removed from the
898 all_tuples hash table. this fixes a temporary leak that was present
899 in the memchunk code until the destruction of the relation.
901 2005-10-29 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
903 * tests/convert-test.c: Add some tests for conversions between
904 UTF-8, UCS-4 and UTF-16.
906 * glib/gutf8.c (g_utf8_to_ucs4, g_utf8_to_utf16): Fix handling
907 of len == -1, noticed by Morten Welinder.
909 2005-10-27 Erdal Ronahi <erdal.ronahi@gmail.com>
911 * configure.in: Added ku (Kurdish) to ALL_LINGUAS
913 2005-10-26 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
915 * glib/gutf8.c (g_ucs4_to_utf8): Don't set items_read twice
916 in the error case, and add some documentation. (#319806, Morten
919 2005-10-19 Manish Singh <yosh@gimp.org>
921 * configure.in: Use AC_CHECK_FUNCS for _NSGetEnviron, to get the
922 config.h symbol automatically. Fixes bug #313731.
924 2005-10-19 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
926 * glib/gwin32.c (g_win32_get_package_installation_directory):
927 Return a g_strdup()ed copy of the value stored in the hash table,
928 so that it can be g_free()d without leaving a dangling pointer in
929 the hash table. (#319232)
931 2005-10-06 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
933 * glib/gunicollate.c (g_utf8_collate_key_for_filename): Handle
934 all-zero sequences correctly. (#317930, Sebastien Bacher)
936 2005-10-05 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
938 * glib/gmarkup.c (g_markup_escape_text): Doc addition
940 * Makefile.am: Add Collation tests.
942 * tests/collate/*: Inputs and expected outputs for collation tests.
944 * tests/run-collate-tests.sh: Script to run collation tests.
946 * tests/unicode-collate.c (main): Rework slightly to make
947 it usable in unit tests. Also test g_utf8_collate_key_for_filename().
949 2005-10-01 Behdad Esfahbod <behdad@gnome.org>
951 * docs/reference/glib/tmpl/unicode.sgml:
952 * glib/gen-unicode-tables.pl:
954 * glib/gunichartables.h:
956 * tests/casefold.txt:
957 * tests/casemap.txt: Updated to Unicode 4.1. There are five new
958 GUnicodeBreakType types. That may break some applications, like
961 2005-09-26 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
963 * glib/gstrfuncs.c (g_ascii_strtoull): Add details to the
964 docs. (#314393, Matthew F. Barnes)
967 * glib/gprintf.h: Remove g_snprintf() and g_vsnprintf(), since
968 they are already declared in glib.h. This doesn't break documented
969 use of gprintf.h, but should probably be pointed out in the
970 release notes for 2.10. (#314232, Behdad Esfahbod)
972 Tue Sep 20 13:16:04 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
974 * glib/gpattern.c (g_pattern_ph_match): applied significant recursion
975 complexity optimization, based on a patch from Matthias Clasen.
977 * tests/patterntest.c: more tests, mostly from matthias.
979 2005-09-20 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
981 * glib/gqueue.c (g_queue_insert_sorted): Correct the docs.
982 (#316703, Mark Drago)
984 Mon Sep 19 17:23:23 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
986 * glib/gpattern.c: applied a patch from matthias which checks on the
987 upper bound of GPatternSpec length to optimize matches.
990 * tests/patterntest.c: added more match cases.
992 2005-09-16 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
994 * glib/gstrfuncs.c (g_ascii_strcasecmp, g_ascii_strncasecmp): Add
995 warning to doc comment that these functions should not be used on
996 encodings like CP932.
998 2005-09-14 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
1000 * tests/keyfile-test.c: Add a test for grup names of length 1.
1002 * glib/gkeyfile.c (g_key_file_line_is_group): Accept group names
1003 of length 1. (#316309)
1005 2005-09-12 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
1007 * glib/gmarkup.c (g_markup_escape_text): Clarify docs.
1009 2005-09-11 Sebastian Wilhelmi <seppi@seppi.de>
1011 * tests/refcount/Makefile.am (INCLUDES): Link the the refcount
1012 tests to the system thread library $(G_THREAD_LIBS). Fixes #313744
1015 2005-09-11 Kjartan Maraas <kmaraas@gnome.org>
1017 * glib/gmain.c: (g_child_watch_prepare), (g_child_watch_check),
1018 (child_watch_helper_thread): Remove some dead code. Closes
1021 2005-09-07 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
1023 * glib/Makefile.am: Create also a console version of the
1024 gspawn-win32-helper program, gspawn-win32-helper-console.exe.
1025 It's otherwise identical to gspawn-win32-helper.exe, except marked
1026 as a console application (linked without the -mwindows option).
1028 * glib/gspawn-win32.c (do_spawn_directly, do_spawn_with_pipes):
1029 Drop the dont_wait parameter. Its truth value correlated 100% with
1030 the NULLness of the exit_status parameter anyway, so it's enough
1031 to check whether exit_status is NULL. Invert the sense of the
1032 dont_return_handle parameter and rename it to do_return_handle, to
1033 make the code easier to read by avoiding double negations.
1035 (g_spawn_sync_utf8, g_spawn_async_with_pipes_utf8): Modify calls
1036 to do_spawn_with_pipes() accordingly.
1038 (do_spawn_with_pipes): If we have a console, use the console
1039 version of the helper program, otherwise use the GUI one. This
1040 avoids extra console windows opening up in some situations. (In
1041 case a console application uses the GUI gspawn-win32-helper.exe to
1042 spawn another console application we would get a separate console
1043 for the spawned console application).
1045 * glib-zip.in: Distribute also gspawn-win32-helper-console.exe.
1047 2005-09-05 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
1049 * glib/gmappedfile.c (g_mapped_file_new): Report an error
1050 if the file is too large. (#315275, Kjartan Maraas)
1052 * glib/gkeyfile.c (g_key_file_load_from_fd): The return value
1053 of read() is signed. (#315273, Kjartan Maraas)
1055 2005-08-31 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
1057 * glib/gutils.h: Wrapping atexit() is a bad idea on Windows, where
1058 the EXE and each DLL have their own atexit function chains.
1060 #define g_atexit as atexit instead. This means it has a
1061 better chance of doing what the caller wants. For instance,
1062 gtkhtml calls g_atexit() registering a function in gtkhtml
1063 itself. This caused a crash when g_atexit() was implemented as a
1064 function in the GLib DLL. The gtkhtml DLL was already unloaded by
1065 the time the GLib DLL got unloaded.
1067 * glib/gutils.c: #undef the #define mentioned above, to also get a
1068 real g_atexit() into the DLL for backward compatibility. Document
1069 the Windows behaviour of g_atexit(), and document the varying ways
1070 atexit() can behave in the context of dynamically loaded modules
1073 2005-08-31 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
1075 * glib/glib.symbols:
1077 * glib/gdataset.c: Add string interning functions.
1079 2005-08-28 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
1081 * glib/giochannel.c: Unify some near-duplicate strings. (#314654,
1084 2005-08-26 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
1086 * configure.in: Bump version to 2.9.0
1088 2005-08-25 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
1090 Make also the g_spawn*() functions take parameters in the GLib
1091 file name encoding, i.e. UTF-8, on Windows. Has no impact on Unix
1092 API or ABI. Like the other GLib API that was earlier changed to
1093 use UTF-8 on Windows, the names of the functions that take UTF-8
1094 have _utf8 suffixes added by using preprocessor macros in the
1095 header file. The old names are kept for functions with the old
1096 behaviour, taking parameters in the system codepage, for DLL ABI
1099 * glib/gspawn.h: On Win32 add the suffix _utf8 to the names of the
1100 g_spawn*() functions.
1102 * glib/gspawn-win32.c: Use wide-char API on NT-based
1103 Windows. Convert parameters from UTF-8 to wide chars (NT) or
1104 system codepage (Win9x) and call the C library _wspawn*() or
1105 spawn*() functions respectvely. Add DLL ABI stability versions
1106 that take parameters in the system codepage.
1108 * glib/gspawn-win32-helper.c: On NT-based Windows use the
1109 wide-char versions of argv and envp, and use wide-char API to
1110 change directory and spawn the program to run. Remove the verbose
1111 debugging output, it was too complex to modify for the wide-char
1112 features. (Just add temporary debugging printouts if needed, no
1113 need to have them permanently in the source.)
1115 * glib/gspawn.c: Corresponding documentation updates.
1117 * glib/glib.symbols: Corresponding changes: Mark the ABI stability
1118 symbols as PRIVATE, add the new _utf8-suffixed ones.
1120 2005-08-24 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
1122 * glib/gtypes.h (G_MININT64): Cast the constant to gint64; it is
1123 guint64 otherwise and that can produce warnings about comparison
1124 between signed and unsigned.
1126 2005-08-23 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
1128 * glib/gutils.c: Fix the crt_externs.h include.
1130 2005-08-23 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
1132 * NEWS: Fix spelling of my first name.
1134 2005-08-23 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
1138 * === Released 2.8.1 ===
1142 2005-08-20 Hans Breuer <hans@breuer.org>
1144 * glib/makefile.msc.in : link with ws2_32.lib
1146 2005-08-18 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
1148 * configure.in: Check for <sys/wait.h>
1150 * glib/gbacktrace.c: Include <sys/wait.h> on if HAVE_SYS_WAIT_H.
1152 2005-08-18 Ross Burton <ross@burtonini.com>
1155 Optimise single-character insertions.
1160 * tests/string-test.c:
1161 Add tests for new optimisation, and fix a leak.
1163 2005-08-17 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
1165 * configure.in: Check for crt_externs.h and _NSGetEnviron.
1167 * glib/gutils.c: On Darwin, include crt-externs.h and
1168 define environ using _NSGetEnviron(). (#313731)
1170 2005-08-16 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
1172 * glib/gutils.c (g_get_any_init): Move the body of the big if...
1173 (g_get_any_init_do): ... to this new function.
1174 (g_get_any_init): Declare as inline.
1175 (g_get_any_init_locked): New inline function, does the locking.
1176 Make use of these two throughout the code.
1178 2005-08-15 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
