3 * configure.in: Define G_GUINT64_CONSTANT in analogy to
4 G_GINT64_CONSTANT. (#322568, Andrew Paprocki)
6 * glib/gslice.c: Win32 portability fixes and C99ism removal,
7 pointed out by Kazuki Iwamoto. (#323052)
9 2005-12-02 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
11 * glib/gatomic.c (g_atomic_int_add): Add a missing volatile for
12 the IA64 implementation.
14 Fri Dec 2 16:18:09 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
16 * glib/gslice.c: some naming and type size fixups.
18 Fri Dec 2 13:08:58 2005 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
20 * glib/gslice.h (g_slice_free): reworked GCC-specific type-safe macro
21 variant into something less verbose, but digestible for gcc-3.4.
23 Fri Dec 2 10:55:07 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
25 * tests/slice-test.c: extended to perform the benchmarking on the old
26 memchunk code if 'O' is selected.
28 * tests/memchunks.c: new file which contains the old GLib mem chunks
29 implementation with prefix old_mem_chunk_.
31 * tests/Makefile.am: added memchunks.c
33 Fri Dec 2 00:16:59 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
35 * glib/gslice.c: improved gettimeofday() timer resolution by maintaining
36 acceptable load distribution of the syscall.
37 (allocator_get_magazine_threshold): reduce minimum/single-thread magazine
38 sizes to approximately page_size/2.5 to avoid excessive startup allocations.
40 2005-12-01 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
42 * tests/gobject/ifacecheck.c (test_iface_base_init): Don't
43 double-free base interface members.
45 * tests/Makefile.am: Remove duplicate variable.
47 Thu Dec 1 17:32:46 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
49 * glib/gslice.[hc]: new slice allocator implementation.
51 * tests/slice-test.c: added random slice allocation test.
53 * glib/gthread.[hc]: removed newly added private thread mem API.
58 * glib/gmem.c: divided glib threading initialisation into three phases,
59 initialisation where private keys and messaging are not available (only
60 needed by gmem.c), initialisation without messaging but private keys
61 available (gslice.c, gmessage.c), and full fledged initialisers that
62 server the rest of glib. initialisation functions got renamed to reflect
63 the limitations of their corresponding phases.
65 * glib/gmem.c: removed memchunk code, defer allocations to
68 * glib/gmem.[hc]: removed g_slice_* skeletons.
70 * glib/glib.symbols: added g_slice_* symbols.
72 * configure.in: check for availability of posix_memalign(3), memalign(3)
75 * glib/Makefile.am: added gslice.[hc].
77 2005-12-01 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
79 * glib/gstdio.c (g_stat): In the Win32 implementation, strip
80 trailing slash(es) for non-root folders. stat() fails if non-root
81 folders are specified with trailing slashes. It's too much hassle
82 to demand that callers strip such slashes themselves, especially
83 as it is easy to get it wrong and strip the slash of a root
85 (g_rename): On NT-based Windows, use MoveFileEx() with
86 MOVEFILE_REPLACE_EXISTING to better match Unix behaviour.
88 2005-11-28 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
90 Fix G_STMT_START / G_STMT_END on Solaris. (#321972,
93 * configure.in: Check whether do { } while (0) works.
95 * glib/gmacros.h: Use do { } while (0) for G_STMT_START /
96 G_STMT_END if it works.
98 2005-11-28 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
100 * glib/gthread.c (g_static_rw_lock_wait, g_static_rw_lock_signal):

104 (g_hash_table_foreach_remove_or_steal): Silence compiler
107 2005-11-27 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
109 * glib/gunicollate.c (g_utf8_collate_key_for_filename):
110 Don't read beyond len. (#322520, Christian Persch)
112 Wed Nov 23 17:34:01 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
114 * glib/gdataset.c: access datalist flags via atomic pointer access
115 functions, instead of acquiring the dataset lock. this is faster and
116 also matches the atomic pointer readouts in gdatalistprivate.h and
117 direct pointer modifications required by gobject.c.
119 Wed Nov 23 13:35:31 2005 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
121 * glib/gdataset.c: streamlined initialization code somewhat,
122 removed GData node cache.
124 2005-11-22 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
126 * glib/ghash.c (g_hash_table_ref):
127 (g_hash_table_unref): Mark these as new API.
129 Avoid double locking in g_intern_string (#322133,
132 * glib/gdataset.c (g_quark_from_string_internal): New
133 internal function which factors out common parts of
134 g_quark_from[_static]_string.
135 (g_quark_from_string, g_quark_from_static_string):
136 Use g_quark_from_string_internal.
137 (g_intern_string, g_intern_static_string): Use
138 g_quark_from_string_internal, and only take the
140 (g_quark_new): Don't store the strings shifted by -1
141 in the g_quarks array.
142 (g_quark_to_string): Adapt to the previous change.
144 Tue Nov 22 14:04:26 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
148 g_hash_table_new_full(): create hash tables with a ref count of 1.
149 g_hash_table_ref(): atomically ref_count+=1
150 g_hash_table_unref(): atomically ref_count-=1, destroys hash table
151 when refcount reaches 0.
152 g_hash_table_destroy(): just destroy keys and values, unref by 1.
153 g_hash_table_insert():
154 g_hash_table_replace(): assert ref_count>0.
157 * glib/gatomic.c: added 'volatile' qualifier to all atomic pointer and
160 2005-11-20 Behdad Esfahbod <behdad@gnome.org>
162 * glib/guniprop.c (g_unichar_get_mirror_char): Remove unused
163 variables. (#321984, Andrew Paprocki)
165 2005-11-18 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
167 * configure.in: Bump version
169 2005-11-17 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>

182 * README.in: Updates.
186 * glib/gdate.c (g_date_set_time_t):
187 (g_date_set_time_val): Add functions to set a date from
188 a time_t and from a GTimeVal.
189 (g_date_set_time): Deprecate. (#314067, Roger Leigh)
192 * tests/utf8-pointer.c: Unit tests for g_utf8_pointer_to_offset
193 and g_utf8_offset_to_pointer.
195 * glib/gutf8.c (g_utf8_pointer_to_offset)
196 (g_utf8_offset_to_pointer): Handle negative offsets, and use
197 "stutter stepping" for going backwards. (#320638, Larry
202 * glib/gthread.c: const correctness fixes, found
203 by Arjan van de Ven and gcc.
205 2005-11-16 Behdad Esfahbod <behdad@gnome.org>
207 * docs/reference/glib/tmpl/unicode.sgml: Correct typo on mentioning
208 @G_UNICODE_BREAK_UNKNOWN that should be #G_UNICODE_BREAK_UNKNOWN.
210 2005-11-09 Behdad Esfahbod <behdad@gnome.org>
212 * glib/guniprop.c: Use bit hacks instead when checking a general
213 category value against multiple values.
215 * glib/gutf8.c: Change ISO10646 to Unicode in docs.
217 2005-11-10 Simos Xenitellis <simos@gnome.org>
219 * configure.in: Added tt (Tatar) to ALL_LINGUAS.
221 2005-11-05 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
223 * glib/giowin32.c (g_io_win32_set_flags): Don't call g_warning().
224 (#320688) Instead set error and return failure.
226 2005-11-07 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
228 * glib/gmain.c (g_main_dispatch): Don't call cb_funcs->unref
229 while holding the context lock. (#320886, Andy Wingo)
231 2005-11-07 Billy Biggs <vektor@dumbterm.net>
233 * tests/refcount/Makefile.am: Add a missing reference to libglib
234 in the LDADD for this test.
236 2005-11-07 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
238 * glib/gmem.c (g_allocator_new): We need to set n_preallocs to a
239 nonzero value, otherwise GTK+ 2.8 breaks when compiled against
240 GLib 2.9. (#320755, Luca Ferretti)
242 2005-11-04 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
244 * glib/Makefile.am: Apply a patch from Behdad Esfahbod to
245 use a faster lookup table for g_unichar_get_mirror_char().
246 * glib/gmirroringtable.h: The new table.
247 * glib/gunichartables.h: Remove bidi_mirroring_table.
248 * glib/gen-unicode-tables.pl: Don't generate the mirroring
250 * glib/glib-mirroring-tab/*: Sources for the program
251 which generated gmirroringtable.h.
253 * glib/glist.c: Avoid some code duplication.
255 * glib/gscanner.h: Include gdataset.h. (#320322)
257 * glib/gdebug.h: add new GDebugFlag for fatal_criticals
258 * glib/gmessages.c: (_g_debug_init): handle G_DEBUG=fatal_criticals,
259 to help find critical warnings in applications. (#320017,
262 2005-11-02 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
264 * glib/glib.symbols: Remove large amount of trailing whitespace
265 from one line. Remove #ifdef G_UNDEFINED from around
266 g_hash_table_new and g_hash_table_new_full symbols, what was the
267 purpose of that? Add the g_slice functions.
269 Tue Nov 1 16:24:20 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
271 * glib/gmem.[hc]: prepared deprecation of GMemChunk and GAllocator.
272 added g_slice_*() API to allocate and cache small bits of memory.
273 an actuall allocator implementation for g_slice_*() is still pending.
275 * glib/gthread.[hc]: changes from a patch by Matthias Clasen.
276 changed GRealThread list to use in-structure *next; fields instead
277 of GSList, in order for thread iteration to not depenend on g_slice_*()
279 _g_thread_mem_private_get():
280 _g_thread_mem_private_set(): added accessors for private memory,
281 needed because the ordinary GPrivate implementation relies on GArray
282 and GSList and therefore indirectly on working g_slice_*() allocations.
285 g_thread_foreach(): new public API function to loop over all existing threads.
299 removed GAllocator and free list usages and accompanying locks.
300 use g_slice_*() API to allocate and cache small bits of memory.
302 * glib/ghook.h: removed GMemChunk field from public API.
305 * glib/glist.h: deprecate allocator API, provide _free1() for consistency.
307 * glib/gnode.h: deprecate allocator API.
309 * glib/gmain.c: reordered GPollRec fields so g_slice_free_chain() can
310 be used for poll rec lists.
312 * glib/grel.c: removed mem chunk usage, and allocated tuples via g_slice_*().
313 g_relation_destroy(): free all tuples from the all_tuples hash table,
314 this effectively maintains the life time track keeping of tuples.
315 g_relation_delete_tuple(): free tuples which are removed from the
316 all_tuples hash table. this fixes a temporary leak that was present
317 in the memchunk code until the destruction of the relation.
319 2005-10-29 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
321 * tests/convert-test.c: Add some tests for conversions between
322 UTF-8, UCS-4 and UTF-16.
324 * glib/gutf8.c (g_utf8_to_ucs4, g_utf8_to_utf16): Fix handling
325 of len == -1, noticed by Morten Welinder.
327 2005-10-27 Erdal Ronahi <erdal.ronahi@gmail.com>
329 * configure.in: Added ku (Kurdish) to ALL_LINGUAS
331 2005-10-26 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
333 * glib/gutf8.c (g_ucs4_to_utf8): Don't set items_read twice
334 in the error case, and add some documentation. (#319806, Morten
337 2005-10-19 Manish Singh <yosh@gimp.org>
339 * configure.in: Use AC_CHECK_FUNCS for _NSGetEnviron, to get the
340 config.h symbol automatically. Fixes bug #313731.
342 2005-10-19 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
344 * glib/gwin32.c (g_win32_get_package_installation_directory):
345 Return a g_strdup()ed copy of the value stored in the hash table,
346 so that it can be g_free()d without leaving a dangling pointer in
347 the hash table. (#319232)
349 2005-10-06 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
351 * glib/gunicollate.c (g_utf8_collate_key_for_filename): Handle
352 all-zero sequences correctly. (#317930, Sebastien Bacher)
354 2005-10-05 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
356 * glib/gmarkup.c (g_markup_escape_text): Doc addition
358 * Makefile.am: Add Collation tests.
360 * tests/collate/*: Inputs and expected outputs for collation tests.
362 * tests/run-collate-tests.sh: Script to run collation tests.
364 * tests/unicode-collate.c (main): Rework slightly to make
365 it usable in unit tests. Also test g_utf8_collate_key_for_filename().
367 2005-10-01 Behdad Esfahbod <behdad@gnome.org>
369 * docs/reference/glib/tmpl/unicode.sgml:
370 * glib/gen-unicode-tables.pl:
372 * glib/gunichartables.h:
374 * tests/casefold.txt:
375 * tests/casemap.txt: Updated to Unicode 4.1. There are five new
376 GUnicodeBreakType types. That may break some applications, like
379 2005-09-26 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
381 * glib/gstrfuncs.c (g_ascii_strtoull): Add details to the
382 docs. (#314393, Matthew F. Barnes)
385 * glib/gprintf.h: Remove g_snprintf() and g_vsnprintf(), since
386 they are already declared in glib.h. This doesn't break documented
387 use of gprintf.h, but should probably be pointed out in the
388 release notes for 2.10. (#314232, Behdad Esfahbod)
390 Tue Sep 20 13:16:04 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
392 * glib/gpattern.c (g_pattern_ph_match): applied significant recursion
393 complexity optimization, based on a patch from Matthias Clasen.
395 * tests/patterntest.c: more tests, mostly from matthias.
397 2005-09-20 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
399 * glib/gqueue.c (g_queue_insert_sorted): Correct the docs.
400 (#316703, Mark Drago)
402 Mon Sep 19 17:23:23 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
404 * glib/gpattern.c: applied a patch from matthias which checks on the
405 upper bound of GPatternSpec length to optimize matches.
408 * tests/patterntest.c: added more match cases.
410 2005-09-16 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
412 * glib/gstrfuncs.c (g_ascii_strcasecmp, g_ascii_strncasecmp): Add
413 warning to doc comment that these functions should not be used on
414 encodings like CP932.
416 2005-09-14 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
418 * tests/keyfile-test.c: Add a test for grup names of length 1.
420 * glib/gkeyfile.c (g_key_file_line_is_group): Accept group names
421 of length 1. (#316309)
423 2005-09-12 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
425 * glib/gmarkup.c (g_markup_escape_text): Clarify docs.
427 2005-09-11 Sebastian Wilhelmi <seppi@seppi.de>
429 * tests/refcount/Makefile.am (INCLUDES): Link the the refcount
430 tests to the system thread library $(G_THREAD_LIBS). Fixes #313744
433 2005-09-11 Kjartan Maraas <kmaraas@gnome.org>
435 * glib/gmain.c: (g_child_watch_prepare), (g_child_watch_check),
436 (child_watch_helper_thread): Remove some dead code. Closes
439 2005-09-07 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
441 * glib/Makefile.am: Create also a console version of the
442 gspawn-win32-helper program, gspawn-win32-helper-console.exe.
443 It's otherwise identical to gspawn-win32-helper.exe, except marked
444 as a console application (linked without the -mwindows option).
446 * glib/gspawn-win32.c (do_spawn_directly, do_spawn_with_pipes):
447 Drop the dont_wait parameter. Its truth value correlated 100% with
448 the NULLness of the exit_status parameter anyway, so it's enough
449 to check whether exit_status is NULL. Invert the sense of the
450 dont_return_handle parameter and rename it to do_return_handle, to
451 make the code easier to read by avoiding double negations.
453 (g_spawn_sync_utf8, g_spawn_async_with_pipes_utf8): Modify calls
454 to do_spawn_with_pipes() accordingly.
456 (do_spawn_with_pipes): If we have a console, use the console
457 version of the helper program, otherwise use the GUI one. This
458 avoids extra console windows opening up in some situations. (In
459 case a console application uses the GUI gspawn-win32-helper.exe to
460 spawn another console application we would get a separate console
461 for the spawned console application).
463 * glib-zip.in: Distribute also gspawn-win32-helper-console.exe.
465 2005-09-05 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
467 * glib/gmappedfile.c (g_mapped_file_new): Report an error
468 if the file is too large. (#315275, Kjartan Maraas)
470 * glib/gkeyfile.c (g_key_file_load_from_fd): The return value
471 of read() is signed. (#315273, Kjartan Maraas)
473 2005-08-31 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
475 * glib/gutils.h: Wrapping atexit() is a bad idea on Windows, where
476 the EXE and each DLL have their own atexit function chains.
478 #define g_atexit as atexit instead. This means it has a
479 better chance of doing what the caller wants. For instance,
480 gtkhtml calls g_atexit() registering a function in gtkhtml
481 itself. This caused a crash when g_atexit() was implemented as a
482 function in the GLib DLL. The gtkhtml DLL was already unloaded by
483 the time the GLib DLL got unloaded.
485 * glib/gutils.c: #undef the #define mentioned above, to also get a
486 real g_atexit() into the DLL for backward compatibility. Document
487 the Windows behaviour of g_atexit(), and document the varying ways
488 atexit() can behave in the context of dynamically loaded modules
491 2005-08-31 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
495 * glib/gdataset.c: Add string interning functions.
497 2005-08-28 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
499 * glib/giochannel.c: Unify some near-duplicate strings. (#314654,
502 2005-08-26 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
504 * configure.in: Bump version to 2.9.0
506 2005-08-25 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
508 Make also the g_spawn*() functions take parameters in the GLib
509 file name encoding, i.e. UTF-8, on Windows. Has no impact on Unix
510 API or ABI. Like the other GLib API that was earlier changed to
511 use UTF-8 on Windows, the names of the functions that take UTF-8
512 have _utf8 suffixes added by using preprocessor macros in the
513 header file. The old names are kept for functions with the old
514 behaviour, taking parameters in the system codepage, for DLL ABI
517 * glib/gspawn.h: On Win32 add the suffix _utf8 to the names of the
518 g_spawn*() functions.
520 * glib/gspawn-win32.c: Use wide-char API on NT-based
521 Windows. Convert parameters from UTF-8 to wide chars (NT) or
522 system codepage (Win9x) and call the C library _wspawn*() or
523 spawn*() functions respectvely. Add DLL ABI stability versions
524 that take parameters in the system codepage.
526 * glib/gspawn-win32-helper.c: On NT-based Windows use the
527 wide-char versions of argv and envp, and use wide-char API to
528 change directory and spawn the program to run. Remove the verbose
529 debugging output, it was too complex to modify for the wide-char
530 features. (Just add temporary debugging printouts if needed, no
531 need to have them permanently in the source.)
533 * glib/gspawn.c: Corresponding documentation updates.
535 * glib/glib.symbols: Corresponding changes: Mark the ABI stability
536 symbols as PRIVATE, add the new _utf8-suffixed ones.
538 2005-08-24 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
540 * glib/gtypes.h (G_MININT64): Cast the constant to gint64; it is
541 guint64 otherwise and that can produce warnings about comparison
542 between signed and unsigned.
544 2005-08-23 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
546 * glib/gutils.c: Fix the crt_externs.h include.
548 2005-08-23 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
550 * NEWS: Fix spelling of my first name.

579 Add tests for new optimisation, and fix a leak.
581 2005-08-17 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
583 * configure.in: Check for crt_externs.h and _NSGetEnviron.
585 * glib/gutils.c: On Darwin, include crt-externs.h and
586 define environ using _NSGetEnviron(). (#313731)
588 2005-08-16 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
