23 Wed Jan 25 16:39:18 2006 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
25 * glib/gslice.c: honour g_mem_gc_friendly settings when freeing
26 slices, make sure g_mem_gc_friendly is properly initialized.
28 * gmem.[hc]: ensure g_mem_gc_friendly is initialized from G_DEBUG upon
29 the first allocation. applied some branching optimizations.
31 * docs/macros.txt: reflected --enable-gc-friendly change and
32 described ENABLE_GC_FRIENDLY_DEFAULT as well as G_DEBUG=gc-friendly.
34 * configure.in: changed --enable-gc-friendly=yes to define
35 ENABLE_GC_FRIENDLY_DEFAULT.
37 * glib/garray.c: changed ENABLE_GC_FRIENDLY macro #ifdef-s to
38 if (G_UNLIKELY (g_mem_gc_friendly)).
41 * glib/ghash.c: removed ENABLE_GC_FRIENDLY code which is now taken
42 care of by g_slice_free1().
44 * tests/slice-test.c: fixed leaks, reported by Kjartan Maraas.
46 Tue Jan 24 17:49:36 2006 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
48 * glib/gslice.c: only use posix_memalign() if it's known to work,
49 revert to memalign() otherwise.
51 * configure.in: check for broken posix_memalign() implementations
54 2006-01-24 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>

62 to so. (#328253, The Written Word)
64 Mon Jan 23 17:30:33 2006 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
66 * glib/gutils.c (_g_getenv_nomalloc): wiped out all the wonderfull
67 G_OS_WIN32 code i wrote ;-[) after tml told me windows has getenv()
70 Mon Jan 23 16:46:20 2006 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
72 * glib/gslice.c (slice_config_init): initialize GSlice config from
73 G_SLICE environment variable. we support G_SLICE=always-malloc
74 currently, which forces all g_slice_*() allocations to use the system
78 g_parse_debug_string(): added a note about not using g_malloc() here.
79 _g_getenv_nomalloc(): getenv() variant that doesn't use g_malloc or
80 g_slice. contains only guesswork in the WIN32 branch.

95 2006-01-17 Sebastian Wilhelmi <seppi@seppi.de>
97 * glib/gthreadpool.c: To avoid deadlocks get rid of the settings
98 G_LOCK. Use the unused_thread_queue lock instead. Change
99 g_thread_pool_thread_proxy such that threads only wait on
100 non-exlusive pools for at most a 1/2 second. Do not reorder tasks
101 due to superfluous tasks. Global tasks wait at most for
102 max-idle-time milliseconds. Make sure, that no task is woken up
103 twice for the same event via a wakeup_serial. This fixes #324228.
105 * tests/threadpool-test.c: Adapt test accordingly. Do not pass
106 invalid NULL into the thread pools. This as well fixes #327290.

121 Signal waiting threads, problem noticed by Christian Kellner.
123 2006-01-16 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
125 Fix bug 326747, Alberto Ruiz:
127 * glib/gconvert.c (make_valid_utf8): Change this function to
128 replace unknown characters by the Unicode replacement character
129 instead of '?', and don't append "(invalid encoding)".
130 (g_filename_display_name, g_filename_display_basename): Document
131 how to determine if the filename was in an invalid encoding.
133 2006-01-14 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>

164 G_TYPE_INSTANCE_GET_CLASS() does behave different during
167 2006-01-06 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
169 * glib/gslice.c: Only define _XOPEN_SOURCE if we know
170 that we have posix_memalign(). (#323937, Bogdan Nicula)

243 2006-01-01 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
245 * glib/gspawn-win32.c (g_spawn_sync_utf8): Set the GIOChannels for
246 stdout and stderr to unbuffered. Otherwise the giochannel layer

248 g_io_channel_win32_poll() call here has indicated
249 readability or not. (#325310)
251 2005-12-29 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
253 * glib/gutils.c (glib_check_version): Fix a copy-and-paste error
254 in the docs. (#325273, Declan Naughton)
256 2005-12-27 Manish Singh <yosh@gimp.org>
258 * tests/run-collate-tests.sh: use LC_ALL instead of LC_COLLATE, to
259 make sure we really override things.

301 * glib/gthreadpool.h:
302 * glib/gthreadpool.c (g_thread_pool_set_sort_function): New function
303 to sort tasks pushed into a threadpool. (#324479, Martyn Russell)
305 * tests/threadpool-test.c: Test this.
307 Tue Dec 20 18:14:14 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
309 * glib/gslice.[hc]: added mem_error() and mem_assert() to test and
310 handle errors without depending on gmessage.c which might not be
311 setup when the error occours.
312 removed G_SLICE_CONFIG_ALWAYS_FREE config option, fixed the code so
313 always freeing can be achieved by adjusting the working set time to
314 0 with G_SLICE_CONFIG_WORKING_SET_MSECS.
315 added G_SLICE_CONFIG_COLOR_INCREMENT to test different color increments
316 (mainly 0 and 1). reduced the minimum block size to 128 bytes, to
317 minimize wastage if small amounts of differently sized structrues are
318 allocated, this does come at a performance cost of roughly 5% though.
319 fixed up block alignment calculation, so it works for varying
320 block sizes. only use strerror() not g_strerror() since the latter
321 depends on working GQuark and GSlice.
322 mem_error(): implemented in terms of fprintf and vfprintf.
324 * tests/slice-color.c: new program to test cache colorization effects.
326 * tests/slice-test.c: trade G_SLICE_CONFIG_ALWAYS_FREE for 0 duration
327 G_SLICE_CONFIG_WORKING_SET_MSECS.
329 2005-12-17 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>

332 failure cases. (#324332, Tim-Philipp Müller)
334 2005-12-17 Sebastian Wilhelmi <seppi@seppi.de>
336 * glib/gatomic.c: Fix memory barrier position in g_atomic_int_get
337 and g_atomic_pointer_get. Add g_atomic_int_set and
338 g_atomic_pointer_set implementations for the !DEFINE_WITH_MUTEXES &&
339 G_ATOMIC_OP_MEMORY_BARRIER_NEEDED case, as well as defining them
340 as functions (additionally to the macros in the header) for the
341 !G_ATOMIC_OP_MEMORY_BARRIER_NEEDED case.
343 2005-12-16 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
345 * glib/gmem.c (g_allocator_new): Don't return a pointer to
346 a const struct, since apps expect to be able to modify it.
347 (#324179, J. Ali Harlow)
349 Tue Dec 13 10:13:32 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
351 * glib/gatomic.h: added g_atomic_pointer_set() and g_atomic_int_set()
352 for systems where the initialization of atomic variables requires a
353 write memory barrier.
355 2005-12-09 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
357 * configure.in: Bump version
359 * === Released 2.9.1 ===

372 2005-12-07 Martyn Russell <martyn@imendio.com>
374 * glib/gasyncqueue.c:
375 - Call g_queue_insert_sorted() instead of duplicating the code.
376 - Call g_queue_sort() instead of duplicating the code.
377 - Invert sort function results to make sure the same sort function
378 gives the same results across glist, gslist, gqueue and
381 * tests/asyncqueue-test.c:
382 - Updated the sort function to reflect the example in the
383 documentation for gasyncqueue.c.
385 2005-12-07 Martyn Russell <martyn@imendio.com>
387 * docs/reference/glib/glib-sections.txt:
388 * docs/reference/glib/tmpl/linked_lists_double.sgml:
389 * docs/reference/glib/tmpl/linked_lists_single.sgml:
392 - Added g_list_insert_sorted_with_data () and
393 g_slist_insert_sorted_with_data ().
394 - Removed the extra check in g_list_sort() and g_slist_sort() for
395 GCompareDataFunc vs. GCompareFunc.
397 2005-12-07 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
399 * glib-gettextize.in: Look up prefix at run-time on Win32,
400 assuming the standard directory structure with glib-gettextize in
403 2005-12-06 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
405 * glib/gmem.h: Exempt GTK+ from the mem chunk deprecation, since
406 we need GTK+ 2.8 to compile against GLib 2.10.
408 2005-12-05 Manish Singh <yosh@gimp.org>
410 * tests/run-collate-test.sh: set LC_COLLATE, not LANG, to be sure
411 to override any user settings.
413 2005-12-05 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
415 * configure.in: Revert an accidential commit
417 2005-12-05 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
419 * glib/gutf8.c: Documentation updates. (#323291, Morten Welinder)
421 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT):
422 * tests/gobject/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Set
423 MALLOC_CHECK_ and MALLOC_PERTURB_

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

478 2005-12-04 Behdad Esfahbod <behdad@gnome.org>
480 * glib/gslice.h: Remove comma at the end of enum.
482 2005-12-04 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
484 Handle multiple user names with the same UID better.
485 (#319535, Laszlo Peter)
487 * glib/gutils.c (g_get_any_init_do): When determining user
488 data, first look up $LOGNAME. If the UID doesn't match
489 getuid(), fall back to the current behaviour of looking
490 up the user data based on getuid().
492 2005-12-04 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
494 * glib/gmacros.h (G_GNUC_WARN_UNUSED_RESULT): Add a macro
495 to make gcc warn if a function result is ignored. (#145466,
496 Arjan van de Ven, Alex Larsson)
498 * glib/gmem.h: Add the new attribute to g_realloc and

512 Alexis S. L. Carvalho)
514 2005-12-02 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
516 * README.in: Add a note about Solaris threads.
519 * configure.in: Remove support for Solaris threads.
520 (#136971, Sebastian Wilhelmi, patch by Andrew Paprocki)
522 2005-12-02 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
524 * configure.in: Define G_GUINT64_CONSTANT in analogy to
525 G_GINT64_CONSTANT. (#322568, Andrew Paprocki)
527 2005-12-02 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
529 * glib/gslice.c: Win32 portability fixes and C99ism removal,
530 pointed out by Kazuki Iwamoto. (#323052)
532 2005-12-02 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
534 * glib/gatomic.c (g_atomic_int_add): Add a missing volatile for
535 the IA64 implementation.
537 Fri Dec 2 16:18:09 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>

543 * glib/gslice.h (g_slice_free): reworked GCC-specific type-safe macro
544 variant into something less verbose, but digestible for gcc-3.4.
546 Fri Dec 2 10:55:07 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
548 * tests/slice-test.c: extended to perform the benchmarking on the old
549 memchunk code if 'O' is selected.
551 * tests/memchunks.c: new file which contains the old GLib mem chunks
552 implementation with prefix old_mem_chunk_.
554 * tests/Makefile.am: added memchunks.c
556 Fri Dec 2 00:16:59 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
558 * glib/gslice.c: improved gettimeofday() timer resolution by maintaining
559 acceptable load distribution of the syscall.
560 (allocator_get_magazine_threshold): reduce minimum/single-thread magazine
561 sizes to approximately page_size/2.5 to avoid excessive startup allocations.
563 2005-12-01 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
565 * tests/gobject/ifacecheck.c (test_iface_base_init): Don't
566 double-free base interface members.
568 * tests/Makefile.am: Remove duplicate variable.
570 Thu Dec 1 17:32:46 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
572 * glib/gslice.[hc]: new slice allocator implementation.
574 * tests/slice-test.c: added random slice allocation test.
576 * glib/gthread.[hc]: removed newly added private thread mem API.
578 * glib/gthreadinit.h:
581 * glib/gmem.c: divided glib threading initialisation into three phases,
582 initialisation where private keys and messaging are not available (only
583 needed by gmem.c), initialisation without messaging but private keys
584 available (gslice.c, gmessage.c), and full fledged initialisers that
585 server the rest of glib. initialisation functions got renamed to reflect
586 the limitations of their corresponding phases.
588 * glib/gmem.c: removed memchunk code, defer allocations to
591 * glib/gmem.[hc]: removed g_slice_* skeletons.
593 * glib/glib.symbols: added g_slice_* symbols.
595 * configure.in: check for availability of posix_memalign(3), memalign(3)
598 * glib/Makefile.am: added gslice.[hc].
600 2005-12-01 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
602 * glib/gstdio.c (g_stat): In the Win32 implementation, strip
603 trailing slash(es) for non-root folders. stat() fails if non-root
604 folders are specified with trailing slashes. It's too much hassle
605 to demand that callers strip such slashes themselves, especially
606 as it is easy to get it wrong and strip the slash of a root
608 (g_rename): On NT-based Windows, use MoveFileEx() with
609 MOVEFILE_REPLACE_EXISTING to better match Unix behaviour.

613 Fix G_STMT_START / G_STMT_END on Solaris. (#321972,
616 * configure.in: Check whether do { } while (0) works.
618 * glib/gmacros.h: Use do { } while (0) for G_STMT_START /
619 G_STMT_END if it works.

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

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

716 and g_utf8_offset_to_pointer.
718 * glib/gutf8.c (g_utf8_pointer_to_offset)
719 (g_utf8_offset_to_pointer): Handle negative offsets, and use
720 "stutter stepping" for going backwards. (#320638, Larry
725 * glib/gthread.c: const correctness fixes, found
726 by Arjan van de Ven and gcc.
728 2005-11-16 Behdad Esfahbod <behdad@gnome.org>
730 * docs/reference/glib/tmpl/unicode.sgml: Correct typo on mentioning

740 2005-11-10 Simos Xenitellis <simos@gnome.org>
742 * configure.in: Added tt (Tatar) to ALL_LINGUAS.
744 2005-11-05 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
746 * glib/giowin32.c (g_io_win32_set_flags): Don't call g_warning().
747 (#320688) Instead set error and return failure.
749 2005-11-07 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
751 * glib/gmain.c (g_main_dispatch): Don't call cb_funcs->unref
752 while holding the context lock. (#320886, Andy Wingo)
754 2005-11-07 Billy Biggs <vektor@dumbterm.net>
756 * tests/refcount/Makefile.am: Add a missing reference to libglib
757 in the LDADD for this test.
759 2005-11-07 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
761 * glib/gmem.c (g_allocator_new): We need to set n_preallocs to a
762 nonzero value, otherwise GTK+ 2.8 breaks when compiled against
763 GLib 2.9. (#320755, Luca Ferretti)
765 2005-11-04 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
767 * glib/Makefile.am: Apply a patch from Behdad Esfahbod to
768 use a faster lookup table for g_unichar_get_mirror_char().
769 * glib/gmirroringtable.h: The new table.
770 * glib/gunichartables.h: Remove bidi_mirroring_table.
771 * glib/gen-unicode-tables.pl: Don't generate the mirroring
773 * glib/glib-mirroring-tab/*: Sources for the program
774 which generated gmirroringtable.h.
776 * glib/glist.c: Avoid some code duplication.
778 * glib/gscanner.h: Include gdataset.h. (#320322)
780 * glib/gdebug.h: add new GDebugFlag for fatal_criticals
781 * glib/gmessages.c: (_g_debug_init): handle G_DEBUG=fatal_criticals,
782 to help find critical warnings in applications. (#320017,
785 2005-11-02 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
787 * glib/glib.symbols: Remove large amount of trailing whitespace
788 from one line. Remove #ifdef G_UNDEFINED from around
789 g_hash_table_new and g_hash_table_new_full symbols, what was the
790 purpose of that? Add the g_slice functions.
792 Tue Nov 1 16:24:20 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
794 * glib/gmem.[hc]: prepared deprecation of GMemChunk and GAllocator.
795 added g_slice_*() API to allocate and cache small bits of memory.
796 an actuall allocator implementation for g_slice_*() is still pending.
798 * glib/gthread.[hc]: changes from a patch by Matthias Clasen.
799 changed GRealThread list to use in-structure *next; fields instead
800 of GSList, in order for thread iteration to not depenend on g_slice_*()
802 _g_thread_mem_private_get():
803 _g_thread_mem_private_set(): added accessors for private memory,
804 needed because the ordinary GPrivate implementation relies on GArray
805 and GSList and therefore indirectly on working g_slice_*() allocations.
808 g_thread_foreach(): new public API function to loop over all existing threads.
822 removed GAllocator and free list usages and accompanying locks.
823 use g_slice_*() API to allocate and cache small bits of memory.
825 * glib/ghook.h: removed GMemChunk field from public API.
828 * glib/glist.h: deprecate allocator API, provide _free1() for consistency.
830 * glib/gnode.h: deprecate allocator API.
832 * glib/gmain.c: reordered GPollRec fields so g_slice_free_chain() can
833 be used for poll rec lists.
835 * glib/grel.c: removed mem chunk usage, and allocated tuples via g_slice_*().
836 g_relation_destroy(): free all tuples from the all_tuples hash table,
837 this effectively maintains the life time track keeping of tuples.
838 g_relation_delete_tuple(): free tuples which are removed from the
839 all_tuples hash table. this fixes a temporary leak that was present
840 in the memchunk code until the destruction of the relation.
842 2005-10-29 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
844 * tests/convert-test.c: Add some tests for conversions between
845 UTF-8, UCS-4 and UTF-16.
847 * glib/gutf8.c (g_utf8_to_ucs4, g_utf8_to_utf16): Fix handling
848 of len == -1, noticed by Morten Welinder.
850 2005-10-27 Erdal Ronahi <erdal.ronahi@gmail.com>
852 * configure.in: Added ku (Kurdish) to ALL_LINGUAS
854 2005-10-26 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
856 * glib/gutf8.c (g_ucs4_to_utf8): Don't set items_read twice
857 in the error case, and add some documentation. (#319806, Morten
860 2005-10-19 Manish Singh <yosh@gimp.org>
862 * configure.in: Use AC_CHECK_FUNCS for _NSGetEnviron, to get the
863 config.h symbol automatically. Fixes bug #313731.
865 2005-10-19 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
867 * glib/gwin32.c (g_win32_get_package_installation_directory):
868 Return a g_strdup()ed copy of the value stored in the hash table,
869 so that it can be g_free()d without leaving a dangling pointer in
870 the hash table. (#319232)
872 2005-10-06 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
874 * glib/gunicollate.c (g_utf8_collate_key_for_filename): Handle
875 all-zero sequences correctly. (#317930, Sebastien Bacher)
877 2005-10-05 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
879 * glib/gmarkup.c (g_markup_escape_text): Doc addition
881 * Makefile.am: Add Collation tests.
883 * tests/collate/*: Inputs and expected outputs for collation tests.
885 * tests/run-collate-tests.sh: Script to run collation tests.
887 * tests/unicode-collate.c (main): Rework slightly to make
888 it usable in unit tests. Also test g_utf8_collate_key_for_filename().
890 2005-10-01 Behdad Esfahbod <behdad@gnome.org>
892 * docs/reference/glib/tmpl/unicode.sgml:
893 * glib/gen-unicode-tables.pl:
895 * glib/gunichartables.h:
897 * tests/casefold.txt:
898 * tests/casemap.txt: Updated to Unicode 4.1. There are five new
899 GUnicodeBreakType types. That may break some applications, like
902 2005-09-26 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
904 * glib/gstrfuncs.c (g_ascii_strtoull): Add details to the
905 docs. (#314393, Matthew F. Barnes)
908 * glib/gprintf.h: Remove g_snprintf() and g_vsnprintf(), since
909 they are already declared in glib.h. This doesn't break documented
910 use of gprintf.h, but should probably be pointed out in the
911 release notes for 2.10. (#314232, Behdad Esfahbod)
913 Tue Sep 20 13:16:04 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
915 * glib/gpattern.c (g_pattern_ph_match): applied significant recursion
916 complexity optimization, based on a patch from Matthias Clasen.
918 * tests/patterntest.c: more tests, mostly from matthias.
920 2005-09-20 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
922 * glib/gqueue.c (g_queue_insert_sorted): Correct the docs.
923 (#316703, Mark Drago)
925 Mon Sep 19 17:23:23 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
927 * glib/gpattern.c: applied a patch from matthias which checks on the
928 upper bound of GPatternSpec length to optimize matches.
931 * tests/patterntest.c: added more match cases.
933 2005-09-16 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
935 * glib/gstrfuncs.c (g_ascii_strcasecmp, g_ascii_strncasecmp): Add
936 warning to doc comment that these functions should not be used on
937 encodings like CP932.
939 2005-09-14 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
941 * tests/keyfile-test.c: Add a test for grup names of length 1.
943 * glib/gkeyfile.c (g_key_file_line_is_group): Accept group names
944 of length 1. (#316309)
946 2005-09-12 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
948 * glib/gmarkup.c (g_markup_escape_text): Clarify docs.
950 2005-09-11 Sebastian Wilhelmi <seppi@seppi.de>
952 * tests/refcount/Makefile.am (INCLUDES): Link the the refcount
953 tests to the system thread library $(G_THREAD_LIBS). Fixes #313744
956 2005-09-11 Kjartan Maraas <kmaraas@gnome.org>
958 * glib/gmain.c: (g_child_watch_prepare), (g_child_watch_check),
959 (child_watch_helper_thread): Remove some dead code. Closes
962 2005-09-07 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
964 * glib/Makefile.am: Create also a console version of the
965 gspawn-win32-helper program, gspawn-win32-helper-console.exe.
966 It's otherwise identical to gspawn-win32-helper.exe, except marked
967 as a console application (linked without the -mwindows option).
969 * glib/gspawn-win32.c (do_spawn_directly, do_spawn_with_pipes):
970 Drop the dont_wait parameter. Its truth value correlated 100% with
971 the NULLness of the exit_status parameter anyway, so it's enough
972 to check whether exit_status is NULL. Invert the sense of the
973 dont_return_handle parameter and rename it to do_return_handle, to
974 make the code easier to read by avoiding double negations.
976 (g_spawn_sync_utf8, g_spawn_async_with_pipes_utf8): Modify calls
977 to do_spawn_with_pipes() accordingly.
979 (do_spawn_with_pipes): If we have a console, use the console
980 version of the helper program, otherwise use the GUI one. This
981 avoids extra console windows opening up in some situations. (In
982 case a console application uses the GUI gspawn-win32-helper.exe to
983 spawn another console application we would get a separate console
984 for the spawned console application).
986 * glib-zip.in: Distribute also gspawn-win32-helper-console.exe.
988 2005-09-05 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
990 * glib/gmappedfile.c (g_mapped_file_new): Report an error
991 if the file is too large. (#315275, Kjartan Maraas)
993 * glib/gkeyfile.c (g_key_file_load_from_fd): The return value
994 of read() is signed. (#315273, Kjartan Maraas)
996 2005-08-31 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
998 * glib/gutils.h: Wrapping atexit() is a bad idea on Windows, where
999 the EXE and each DLL have their own atexit function chains.
1001 #define g_atexit as atexit instead. This means it has a
1002 better chance of doing what the caller wants. For instance,
1003 gtkhtml calls g_atexit() registering a function in gtkhtml
1004 itself. This caused a crash when g_atexit() was implemented as a
1005 function in the GLib DLL. The gtkhtml DLL was already unloaded by
1006 the time the GLib DLL got unloaded.
1008 * glib/gutils.c: #undef the #define mentioned above, to also get a
1009 real g_atexit() into the DLL for backward compatibility. Document
1010 the Windows behaviour of g_atexit(), and document the varying ways
1011 atexit() can behave in the context of dynamically loaded modules
1014 2005-08-31 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
1016 * glib/glib.symbols:
1018 * glib/gdataset.c: Add string interning functions.
1020 2005-08-28 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
1022 * glib/giochannel.c: Unify some near-duplicate strings. (#314654,
1025 2005-08-26 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
1027 * configure.in: Bump version to 2.9.0
1029 2005-08-25 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
1031 Make also the g_spawn*() functions take parameters in the GLib
1032 file name encoding, i.e. UTF-8, on Windows. Has no impact on Unix
1033 API or ABI. Like the other GLib API that was earlier changed to
1034 use UTF-8 on Windows, the names of the functions that take UTF-8
1035 have _utf8 suffixes added by using preprocessor macros in the
1036 header file. The old names are kept for functions with the old
1037 behaviour, taking parameters in the system codepage, for DLL ABI
1040 * glib/gspawn.h: On Win32 add the suffix _utf8 to the names of the
1041 g_spawn*() functions.
1043 * glib/gspawn-win32.c: Use wide-char API on NT-based
1044 Windows. Convert parameters from UTF-8 to wide chars (NT) or
1045 system codepage (Win9x) and call the C library _wspawn*() or
1046 spawn*() functions respectvely. Add DLL ABI stability versions
1047 that take parameters in the system codepage.
1049 * glib/gspawn-win32-helper.c: On NT-based Windows use the
1050 wide-char versions of argv and envp, and use wide-char API to
1051 change directory and spawn the program to run. Remove the verbose
1052 debugging output, it was too complex to modify for the wide-char
1053 features. (Just add temporary debugging printouts if needed, no
1054 need to have them permanently in the source.)
1056 * glib/gspawn.c: Corresponding documentation updates.
1058 * glib/glib.symbols: Corresponding changes: Mark the ABI stability
1059 symbols as PRIVATE, add the new _utf8-suffixed ones.
1061 2005-08-24 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
1063 * glib/gtypes.h (G_MININT64): Cast the constant to gint64; it is
1064 guint64 otherwise and that can produce warnings about comparison
1065 between signed and unsigned.
1067 2005-08-23 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
1069 * glib/gutils.c: Fix the crt_externs.h include.
1071 2005-08-23 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
1073 * NEWS: Fix spelling of my first name.

1102 Add tests for new optimisation, and fix a leak.
1104 2005-08-17 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
1106 * configure.in: Check for crt_externs.h and _NSGetEnviron.
1108 * glib/gutils.c: On Darwin, include crt-externs.h and
1109 define environ using _NSGetEnviron(). (#313731)
1111 2005-08-16 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
1113 * glib/gutils.c (g_get_any_init): Move the body of the big if...
1114 (g_get_any_init_do): ... to this new function.
1115 (g_get_any_init): Declare as inline.
1116 (g_get_any_init_locked): New inline function, does the locking.
1117 Make use of these two throughout the code.
1119 2005-08-15 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
1121 * glib/gbacktrace.c (g_on_error_stack_trace): Wait for
1122 the child process and then simply return. This makes
1123 The "S" option work as documented in g_on_error_query().
1124 (#313125, Matthew F. Barnes)
1126 * glib/gunicode.h: Update the link to Unicode category
1127 values. (#313369, Behnam Esfahbod)
1129 * glib/gqueue.c (g_queue_find_custom): Clarify docs
1130 a little. (#311727, Tristan van Berkom)
1132 * glib/abicheck.sh, gobject/abicheck.sh: Make the
1133 check work on ia64 too, where some symbols ended up
1134 in yet another section.
