3 * tests/Makefile.am: Remove duplicate variable.
5 Thu Dec 1 17:32:46 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
7 * glib/gslice.[hc]: new slice allocator implementation.
9 * tests/slice-test.c: added random slice allocation test.
11 * glib/gthread.[hc]: removed newly added private thread mem API.
16 * glib/gmem.c: divided glib threading initialisation into three phases,
17 initialisation where private keys and messaging are not available (only
18 needed by gmem.c), initialisation without messaging but private keys
19 available (gslice.c, gmessage.c), and full fledged initialisers that
20 server the rest of glib. initialisation functions got renamed to reflect
21 the limitations of their corresponding phases.
23 * glib/gmem.c: removed memchunk code, defer allocations to
26 * glib/gmem.[hc]: removed g_slice_* skeletons.
28 * glib/glib.symbols: added g_slice_* symbols.
30 * configure.in: check for availability of posix_memalign(3), memalign(3)
33 * glib/Makefile.am: added gslice.[hc].
35 2005-12-01 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
37 * glib/gstdio.c (g_stat): In the Win32 implementation, strip
38 trailing slash(es) for non-root folders. stat() fails if non-root
39 folders are specified with trailing slashes. It's too much hassle
40 to demand that callers strip such slashes themselves, especially
41 as it is easy to get it wrong and strip the slash of a root
43 (g_rename): On NT-based Windows, use MoveFileEx() with
44 MOVEFILE_REPLACE_EXISTING to better match Unix behaviour.
46 2005-11-28 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
48 Fix G_STMT_START / G_STMT_END on Solaris. (#321972,
51 * configure.in: Check whether do { } while (0) works.
53 * glib/gmacros.h: Use do { } while (0) for G_STMT_START /
54 G_STMT_END if it works.
56 2005-11-28 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
58 * glib/gthread.c (g_static_rw_lock_wait, g_static_rw_lock_signal):

61 * glib/ghash.c (g_hash_table_unref, g_hash_table_destroy)
62 (g_hash_table_foreach_remove_or_steal): Silence compiler
65 2005-11-27 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
67 * glib/gunicollate.c (g_utf8_collate_key_for_filename):
68 Don't read beyond len. (#322520, Christian Persch)
70 Wed Nov 23 17:34:01 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
72 * glib/gdataset.c: access datalist flags via atomic pointer access
73 functions, instead of acquiring the dataset lock. this is faster and
74 also matches the atomic pointer readouts in gdatalistprivate.h and
75 direct pointer modifications required by gobject.c.
77 Wed Nov 23 13:35:31 2005 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
79 * glib/gdataset.c: streamlined initialization code somewhat,
80 removed GData node cache.
82 2005-11-22 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
84 * glib/ghash.c (g_hash_table_ref):
85 (g_hash_table_unref): Mark these as new API.
87 Avoid double locking in g_intern_string (#322133,
90 * glib/gdataset.c (g_quark_from_string_internal): New
91 internal function which factors out common parts of
92 g_quark_from[_static]_string.
93 (g_quark_from_string, g_quark_from_static_string):
94 Use g_quark_from_string_internal.
95 (g_intern_string, g_intern_static_string): Use
96 g_quark_from_string_internal, and only take the
98 (g_quark_new): Don't store the strings shifted by -1
99 in the g_quarks array.
100 (g_quark_to_string): Adapt to the previous change.
102 Tue Nov 22 14:04:26 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
106 g_hash_table_new_full(): create hash tables with a ref count of 1.
107 g_hash_table_ref(): atomically ref_count+=1
108 g_hash_table_unref(): atomically ref_count-=1, destroys hash table
109 when refcount reaches 0.
110 g_hash_table_destroy(): just destroy keys and values, unref by 1.
111 g_hash_table_insert():
112 g_hash_table_replace(): assert ref_count>0.
115 * glib/gatomic.c: added 'volatile' qualifier to all atomic pointer and
118 2005-11-20 Behdad Esfahbod <behdad@gnome.org>
120 * glib/guniprop.c (g_unichar_get_mirror_char): Remove unused
121 variables. (#321984, Andrew Paprocki)
123 2005-11-18 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
125 * configure.in: Bump version
127 2005-11-17 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>

140 * README.in: Updates.
144 * glib/gdate.c (g_date_set_time_t):
145 (g_date_set_time_val): Add functions to set a date from
146 a time_t and from a GTimeVal.
147 (g_date_set_time): Deprecate. (#314067, Roger Leigh)
150 * tests/utf8-pointer.c: Unit tests for g_utf8_pointer_to_offset
151 and g_utf8_offset_to_pointer.
153 * glib/gutf8.c (g_utf8_pointer_to_offset)
154 (g_utf8_offset_to_pointer): Handle negative offsets, and use
155 "stutter stepping" for going backwards. (#320638, Larry
160 * glib/gthread.c: const correctness fixes, found
161 by Arjan van de Ven and gcc.
163 2005-11-16 Behdad Esfahbod <behdad@gnome.org>
165 * docs/reference/glib/tmpl/unicode.sgml: Correct typo on mentioning
166 @G_UNICODE_BREAK_UNKNOWN that should be #G_UNICODE_BREAK_UNKNOWN.
168 2005-11-09 Behdad Esfahbod <behdad@gnome.org>
170 * glib/guniprop.c: Use bit hacks instead when checking a general
171 category value against multiple values.
173 * glib/gutf8.c: Change ISO10646 to Unicode in docs.
175 2005-11-10 Simos Xenitellis <simos@gnome.org>
177 * configure.in: Added tt (Tatar) to ALL_LINGUAS.
179 2005-11-05 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
181 * glib/giowin32.c (g_io_win32_set_flags): Don't call g_warning().
182 (#320688) Instead set error and return failure.
184 2005-11-07 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
186 * glib/gmain.c (g_main_dispatch): Don't call cb_funcs->unref
187 while holding the context lock. (#320886, Andy Wingo)
189 2005-11-07 Billy Biggs <vektor@dumbterm.net>
191 * tests/refcount/Makefile.am: Add a missing reference to libglib
192 in the LDADD for this test.
194 2005-11-07 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
196 * glib/gmem.c (g_allocator_new): We need to set n_preallocs to a
197 nonzero value, otherwise GTK+ 2.8 breaks when compiled against
198 GLib 2.9. (#320755, Luca Ferretti)
200 2005-11-04 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
202 * glib/Makefile.am: Apply a patch from Behdad Esfahbod to
203 use a faster lookup table for g_unichar_get_mirror_char().
204 * glib/gmirroringtable.h: The new table.
205 * glib/gunichartables.h: Remove bidi_mirroring_table.
206 * glib/gen-unicode-tables.pl: Don't generate the mirroring
208 * glib/glib-mirroring-tab/*: Sources for the program
209 which generated gmirroringtable.h.
211 * glib/glist.c: Avoid some code duplication.
213 * glib/gscanner.h: Include gdataset.h. (#320322)
215 * glib/gdebug.h: add new GDebugFlag for fatal_criticals
216 * glib/gmessages.c: (_g_debug_init): handle G_DEBUG=fatal_criticals,
217 to help find critical warnings in applications. (#320017,
220 2005-11-02 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
222 * glib/glib.symbols: Remove large amount of trailing whitespace
223 from one line. Remove #ifdef G_UNDEFINED from around
224 g_hash_table_new and g_hash_table_new_full symbols, what was the
225 purpose of that? Add the g_slice functions.
227 Tue Nov 1 16:24:20 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
229 * glib/gmem.[hc]: prepared deprecation of GMemChunk and GAllocator.
230 added g_slice_*() API to allocate and cache small bits of memory.
231 an actuall allocator implementation for g_slice_*() is still pending.
233 * glib/gthread.[hc]: changes from a patch by Matthias Clasen.
234 changed GRealThread list to use in-structure *next; fields instead
235 of GSList, in order for thread iteration to not depenend on g_slice_*()
237 _g_thread_mem_private_get():
238 _g_thread_mem_private_set(): added accessors for private memory,
239 needed because the ordinary GPrivate implementation relies on GArray
240 and GSList and therefore indirectly on working g_slice_*() allocations.
243 g_thread_foreach(): new public API function to loop over all existing threads.
257 removed GAllocator and free list usages and accompanying locks.
258 use g_slice_*() API to allocate and cache small bits of memory.
260 * glib/ghook.h: removed GMemChunk field from public API.
263 * glib/glist.h: deprecate allocator API, provide _free1() for consistency.
265 * glib/gnode.h: deprecate allocator API.
267 * glib/gmain.c: reordered GPollRec fields so g_slice_free_chain() can
268 be used for poll rec lists.
270 * glib/grel.c: removed mem chunk usage, and allocated tuples via g_slice_*().
271 g_relation_destroy(): free all tuples from the all_tuples hash table,
272 this effectively maintains the life time track keeping of tuples.
273 g_relation_delete_tuple(): free tuples which are removed from the
274 all_tuples hash table. this fixes a temporary leak that was present
275 in the memchunk code until the destruction of the relation.
277 2005-10-29 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
279 * tests/convert-test.c: Add some tests for conversions between
280 UTF-8, UCS-4 and UTF-16.
282 * glib/gutf8.c (g_utf8_to_ucs4, g_utf8_to_utf16): Fix handling
283 of len == -1, noticed by Morten Welinder.
285 2005-10-27 Erdal Ronahi <erdal.ronahi@gmail.com>
287 * configure.in: Added ku (Kurdish) to ALL_LINGUAS
289 2005-10-26 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
291 * glib/gutf8.c (g_ucs4_to_utf8): Don't set items_read twice
292 in the error case, and add some documentation. (#319806, Morten
295 2005-10-19 Manish Singh <yosh@gimp.org>
297 * configure.in: Use AC_CHECK_FUNCS for _NSGetEnviron, to get the
298 config.h symbol automatically. Fixes bug #313731.
300 2005-10-19 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
302 * glib/gwin32.c (g_win32_get_package_installation_directory):
303 Return a g_strdup()ed copy of the value stored in the hash table,
304 so that it can be g_free()d without leaving a dangling pointer in
305 the hash table. (#319232)
307 2005-10-06 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
309 * glib/gunicollate.c (g_utf8_collate_key_for_filename): Handle
310 all-zero sequences correctly. (#317930, Sebastien Bacher)
312 2005-10-05 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
314 * glib/gmarkup.c (g_markup_escape_text): Doc addition
316 * Makefile.am: Add Collation tests.
318 * tests/collate/*: Inputs and expected outputs for collation tests.
320 * tests/run-collate-tests.sh: Script to run collation tests.
322 * tests/unicode-collate.c (main): Rework slightly to make
323 it usable in unit tests. Also test g_utf8_collate_key_for_filename().
325 2005-10-01 Behdad Esfahbod <behdad@gnome.org>
327 * docs/reference/glib/tmpl/unicode.sgml:
328 * glib/gen-unicode-tables.pl:
330 * glib/gunichartables.h:
332 * tests/casefold.txt:
333 * tests/casemap.txt: Updated to Unicode 4.1. There are five new
334 GUnicodeBreakType types. That may break some applications, like
337 2005-09-26 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
339 * glib/gstrfuncs.c (g_ascii_strtoull): Add details to the
340 docs. (#314393, Matthew F. Barnes)
343 * glib/gprintf.h: Remove g_snprintf() and g_vsnprintf(), since
344 they are already declared in glib.h. This doesn't break documented
345 use of gprintf.h, but should probably be pointed out in the
346 release notes for 2.10. (#314232, Behdad Esfahbod)
348 Tue Sep 20 13:16:04 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
350 * glib/gpattern.c (g_pattern_ph_match): applied significant recursion
351 complexity optimization, based on a patch from Matthias Clasen.
353 * tests/patterntest.c: more tests, mostly from matthias.
355 2005-09-20 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
357 * glib/gqueue.c (g_queue_insert_sorted): Correct the docs.
358 (#316703, Mark Drago)
360 Mon Sep 19 17:23:23 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
362 * glib/gpattern.c: applied a patch from matthias which checks on the
363 upper bound of GPatternSpec length to optimize matches.
366 * tests/patterntest.c: added more match cases.
368 2005-09-16 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
370 * glib/gstrfuncs.c (g_ascii_strcasecmp, g_ascii_strncasecmp): Add
371 warning to doc comment that these functions should not be used on
372 encodings like CP932.
374 2005-09-14 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
376 * tests/keyfile-test.c: Add a test for grup names of length 1.
378 * glib/gkeyfile.c (g_key_file_line_is_group): Accept group names
379 of length 1. (#316309)
381 2005-09-12 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
383 * glib/gmarkup.c (g_markup_escape_text): Clarify docs.
385 2005-09-11 Sebastian Wilhelmi <seppi@seppi.de>
387 * tests/refcount/Makefile.am (INCLUDES): Link the the refcount
388 tests to the system thread library $(G_THREAD_LIBS). Fixes #313744
391 2005-09-11 Kjartan Maraas <kmaraas@gnome.org>
393 * glib/gmain.c: (g_child_watch_prepare), (g_child_watch_check),
394 (child_watch_helper_thread): Remove some dead code. Closes
397 2005-09-07 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
399 * glib/Makefile.am: Create also a console version of the
400 gspawn-win32-helper program, gspawn-win32-helper-console.exe.
401 It's otherwise identical to gspawn-win32-helper.exe, except marked
402 as a console application (linked without the -mwindows option).
404 * glib/gspawn-win32.c (do_spawn_directly, do_spawn_with_pipes):
405 Drop the dont_wait parameter. Its truth value correlated 100% with
406 the NULLness of the exit_status parameter anyway, so it's enough
407 to check whether exit_status is NULL. Invert the sense of the
408 dont_return_handle parameter and rename it to do_return_handle, to
409 make the code easier to read by avoiding double negations.
411 (g_spawn_sync_utf8, g_spawn_async_with_pipes_utf8): Modify calls
412 to do_spawn_with_pipes() accordingly.
414 (do_spawn_with_pipes): If we have a console, use the console
415 version of the helper program, otherwise use the GUI one. This
416 avoids extra console windows opening up in some situations. (In
417 case a console application uses the GUI gspawn-win32-helper.exe to
418 spawn another console application we would get a separate console
419 for the spawned console application).
421 * glib-zip.in: Distribute also gspawn-win32-helper-console.exe.
423 2005-09-05 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
425 * glib/gmappedfile.c (g_mapped_file_new): Report an error
426 if the file is too large. (#315275, Kjartan Maraas)
428 * glib/gkeyfile.c (g_key_file_load_from_fd): The return value
429 of read() is signed. (#315273, Kjartan Maraas)
431 2005-08-31 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
433 * glib/gutils.h: Wrapping atexit() is a bad idea on Windows, where
434 the EXE and each DLL have their own atexit function chains.
436 #define g_atexit as atexit instead. This means it has a
437 better chance of doing what the caller wants. For instance,
438 gtkhtml calls g_atexit() registering a function in gtkhtml
439 itself. This caused a crash when g_atexit() was implemented as a
440 function in the GLib DLL. The gtkhtml DLL was already unloaded by
441 the time the GLib DLL got unloaded.
443 * glib/gutils.c: #undef the #define mentioned above, to also get a
444 real g_atexit() into the DLL for backward compatibility. Document
445 the Windows behaviour of g_atexit(), and document the varying ways
446 atexit() can behave in the context of dynamically loaded modules
449 2005-08-31 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
453 * glib/gdataset.c: Add string interning functions.
455 2005-08-28 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
457 * glib/giochannel.c: Unify some near-duplicate strings. (#314654,
460 2005-08-26 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
462 * configure.in: Bump version to 2.9.0
464 2005-08-25 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
466 Make also the g_spawn*() functions take parameters in the GLib
467 file name encoding, i.e. UTF-8, on Windows. Has no impact on Unix
468 API or ABI. Like the other GLib API that was earlier changed to
469 use UTF-8 on Windows, the names of the functions that take UTF-8
470 have _utf8 suffixes added by using preprocessor macros in the
471 header file. The old names are kept for functions with the old
472 behaviour, taking parameters in the system codepage, for DLL ABI
475 * glib/gspawn.h: On Win32 add the suffix _utf8 to the names of the
476 g_spawn*() functions.
478 * glib/gspawn-win32.c: Use wide-char API on NT-based
479 Windows. Convert parameters from UTF-8 to wide chars (NT) or
480 system codepage (Win9x) and call the C library _wspawn*() or
481 spawn*() functions respectvely. Add DLL ABI stability versions
482 that take parameters in the system codepage.
484 * glib/gspawn-win32-helper.c: On NT-based Windows use the
485 wide-char versions of argv and envp, and use wide-char API to
486 change directory and spawn the program to run. Remove the verbose
487 debugging output, it was too complex to modify for the wide-char
488 features. (Just add temporary debugging printouts if needed, no
489 need to have them permanently in the source.)
491 * glib/gspawn.c: Corresponding documentation updates.
493 * glib/glib.symbols: Corresponding changes: Mark the ABI stability
494 symbols as PRIVATE, add the new _utf8-suffixed ones.
496 2005-08-24 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
498 * glib/gtypes.h (G_MININT64): Cast the constant to gint64; it is
499 guint64 otherwise and that can produce warnings about comparison
500 between signed and unsigned.
502 2005-08-23 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
504 * glib/gutils.c: Fix the crt_externs.h include.
506 2005-08-23 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
508 * NEWS: Fix spelling of my first name.
510 2005-08-23 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
514 * === Released 2.8.1 ===
518 2005-08-20 Hans Breuer <hans@breuer.org>

526 * glib/gbacktrace.c: Include <sys/wait.h> on if HAVE_SYS_WAIT_H.
528 2005-08-18 Ross Burton <ross@burtonini.com>
531 Optimise single-character insertions.
536 * tests/string-test.c:
537 Add tests for new optimisation, and fix a leak.
539 2005-08-17 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
541 * configure.in: Check for crt_externs.h and _NSGetEnviron.
543 * glib/gutils.c: On Darwin, include crt-externs.h and
544 define environ using _NSGetEnviron(). (#313731)
546 2005-08-16 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
548 * glib/gutils.c (g_get_any_init): Move the body of the big if...
549 (g_get_any_init_do): ... to this new function.
550 (g_get_any_init): Declare as inline.
551 (g_get_any_init_locked): New inline function, does the locking.
552 Make use of these two throughout the code.
554 2005-08-15 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
556 * glib/gbacktrace.c (g_on_error_stack_trace): Wait for
557 the child process and then simply return. This makes
558 The "S" option work as documented in g_on_error_query().
559 (#313125, Matthew F. Barnes)
561 * glib/gunicode.h: Update the link to Unicode category
562 values. (#313369, Behnam Esfahbod)
564 * glib/gqueue.c (g_queue_find_custom): Clarify docs
565 a little. (#311727, Tristan van Berkom)
567 * glib/abicheck.sh, gobject/abicheck.sh: Make the
568 check work on ia64 too, where some symbols ended up
569 in yet another section.
