7 * glib/gmem.c (g_mem_init_nomessage): Fix C99isms. (#328705,
10 Wed Jan 25 19:16:57 2006 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
12 * fixed buglets reported by Jens Granseuer in #328254.
14 * configure.in: free the memory allocated in posix_memalign() tests.
16 * glib/gslice.c: spelling fixes.
18 Wed Jan 25 16:39:18 2006 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
20 * glib/gslice.c: honour g_mem_gc_friendly settings when freeing
21 slices, make sure g_mem_gc_friendly is properly initialized.
23 * gmem.[hc]: ensure g_mem_gc_friendly is initialized from G_DEBUG upon
24 the first allocation. applied some branching optimizations.
26 * docs/macros.txt: reflected --enable-gc-friendly change and
27 described ENABLE_GC_FRIENDLY_DEFAULT as well as G_DEBUG=gc-friendly.
29 * configure.in: changed --enable-gc-friendly=yes to define
30 ENABLE_GC_FRIENDLY_DEFAULT.
32 * glib/garray.c: changed ENABLE_GC_FRIENDLY macro #ifdef-s to
33 if (G_UNLIKELY (g_mem_gc_friendly)).
36 * glib/ghash.c: removed ENABLE_GC_FRIENDLY code which is now taken
37 care of by g_slice_free1().
39 * tests/slice-test.c: fixed leaks, reported by Kjartan Maraas.
41 Tue Jan 24 17:49:36 2006 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
43 * glib/gslice.c: only use posix_memalign() if it's known to work,
44 revert to memalign() otherwise.
46 * configure.in: check for broken posix_memalign() implementations
49 2006-01-24 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
51 * tests/unicode-encoding.c: Use UTF-16LE as target encoding
52 on all little-endian systems. (#143380, Marc Moorcroft)
54 2006-01-23 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
56 * configure.in: Change the shared libary extension for hpux-ia64
57 to so. (#328253, The Written Word)
59 Mon Jan 23 17:30:33 2006 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
61 * glib/gutils.c (_g_getenv_nomalloc): wiped out all the wonderfull
62 G_OS_WIN32 code i wrote ;-[) after tml told me windows has getenv()
65 Mon Jan 23 16:46:20 2006 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
67 * glib/gslice.c (slice_config_init): initialize GSlice config from
68 G_SLICE environment variable. we support G_SLICE=always-malloc
69 currently, which forces all g_slice_*() allocations to use the system
73 g_parse_debug_string(): added a note about not using g_malloc() here.
74 _g_getenv_nomalloc(): getenv() variant that doesn't use g_malloc or
75 g_slice. contains only guesswork in the WIN32 branch.
77 2006-01-18 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
81 * === Released 2.9.4 ===
85 2006-01-17 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
87 * glib/gkeyfile.c (g_key_file_get_groups): Correct a g_new0()
88 call. (#327421, Morten Welinder)
90 2006-01-17 Sebastian Wilhelmi <seppi@seppi.de>
92 * glib/gthreadpool.c: To avoid deadlocks get rid of the settings
93 G_LOCK. Use the unused_thread_queue lock instead. Change
94 g_thread_pool_thread_proxy such that threads only wait on
95 non-exlusive pools for at most a 1/2 second. Do not reorder tasks
96 due to superfluous tasks. Global tasks wait at most for
97 max-idle-time milliseconds. Make sure, that no task is woken up
98 twice for the same event via a wakeup_serial. This fixes #324228.
100 * tests/threadpool-test.c: Adapt test accordingly. Do not pass
101 invalid NULL into the thread pools. This as well fixes #327290.

116 Signal waiting threads, problem noticed by Christian Kellner.
118 2006-01-16 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
120 Fix bug 326747, Alberto Ruiz:
122 * glib/gconvert.c (make_valid_utf8): Change this function to
123 replace unknown characters by the Unicode replacement character
124 instead of '?', and don't append "(invalid encoding)".
125 (g_filename_display_name, g_filename_display_basename): Document
126 how to determine if the filename was in an invalid encoding.
128 2006-01-14 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>

159 G_TYPE_INSTANCE_GET_CLASS() does behave different during
162 2006-01-06 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
164 * glib/gslice.c: Only define _XOPEN_SOURCE if we know
165 that we have posix_memalign(). (#323937, Bogdan Nicula)
167 2006-01-05 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>

206 2006-01-03 Martyn Russell <martyn@imendio.com>
208 * docs/reference/glib/glib-sections.txt:
210 * glib/gthreadpool.[ch]:
211 - Added new API g_thread_pool_get_idle_time() and
212 g_thread_pool_set_idle_time(). (#324228).
214 * tests/threadpool-test.c:
215 - Updated test case to do thread pool sorting, thread pool with
216 no sorting and a thread pool with idle thread timeouts.

230 2006-01-02 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
234 * glib/gstdio.c (g_rmdir): Don't provide g_rmdir() as a macro
235 expanding to rmdir, since rmdir is not declared in a portable
236 system header we can include in gstdio.h. (#325249, Jani Monoses)
238 2006-01-01 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
240 * glib/gspawn-win32.c (g_spawn_sync_utf8): Set the GIOChannels for
241 stdout and stderr to unbuffered. Otherwise the giochannel layer
242 will try to read from them regardless whether the
243 g_io_channel_win32_poll() call here has indicated
244 readability or not. (#325310)
246 2005-12-29 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
248 * glib/gutils.c (glib_check_version): Fix a copy-and-paste error
249 in the docs. (#325273, Declan Naughton)
251 2005-12-27 Manish Singh <yosh@gimp.org>
253 * tests/run-collate-tests.sh: use LC_ALL instead of LC_COLLATE, to
254 make sure we really override things.

293 2005-12-20 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
296 * glib/gthreadpool.h:
297 * glib/gthreadpool.c (g_thread_pool_set_sort_function): New function
298 to sort tasks pushed into a threadpool. (#324479, Martyn Russell)
300 * tests/threadpool-test.c: Test this.
302 Tue Dec 20 18:14:14 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
304 * glib/gslice.[hc]: added mem_error() and mem_assert() to test and
305 handle errors without depending on gmessage.c which might not be
306 setup when the error occours.
307 removed G_SLICE_CONFIG_ALWAYS_FREE config option, fixed the code so
308 always freeing can be achieved by adjusting the working set time to
309 0 with G_SLICE_CONFIG_WORKING_SET_MSECS.
310 added G_SLICE_CONFIG_COLOR_INCREMENT to test different color increments
311 (mainly 0 and 1). reduced the minimum block size to 128 bytes, to
312 minimize wastage if small amounts of differently sized structrues are
313 allocated, this does come at a performance cost of roughly 5% though.
314 fixed up block alignment calculation, so it works for varying
315 block sizes. only use strerror() not g_strerror() since the latter
316 depends on working GQuark and GSlice.
317 mem_error(): implemented in terms of fprintf and vfprintf.
319 * tests/slice-color.c: new program to test cache colorization effects.
321 * tests/slice-test.c: trade G_SLICE_CONFIG_ALWAYS_FREE for 0 duration
322 G_SLICE_CONFIG_WORKING_SET_MSECS.
324 2005-12-17 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
326 * glib/goption.c (parse_short_option): Set an error in all
327 failure cases. (#324332, Tim-Philipp Müller)
329 2005-12-17 Sebastian Wilhelmi <seppi@seppi.de>
331 * glib/gatomic.c: Fix memory barrier position in g_atomic_int_get
332 and g_atomic_pointer_get. Add g_atomic_int_set and
333 g_atomic_pointer_set implementations for the !DEFINE_WITH_MUTEXES &&
334 G_ATOMIC_OP_MEMORY_BARRIER_NEEDED case, as well as defining them
335 as functions (additionally to the macros in the header) for the
336 !G_ATOMIC_OP_MEMORY_BARRIER_NEEDED case.
338 2005-12-16 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
340 * glib/gmem.c (g_allocator_new): Don't return a pointer to
341 a const struct, since apps expect to be able to modify it.
342 (#324179, J. Ali Harlow)
344 Tue Dec 13 10:13:32 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
346 * glib/gatomic.h: added g_atomic_pointer_set() and g_atomic_int_set()
347 for systems where the initialization of atomic variables requires a
348 write memory barrier.
350 2005-12-09 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
352 * configure.in: Bump version
354 * === Released 2.9.1 ===

367 2005-12-07 Martyn Russell <martyn@imendio.com>
369 * glib/gasyncqueue.c:
370 - Call g_queue_insert_sorted() instead of duplicating the code.
371 - Call g_queue_sort() instead of duplicating the code.
372 - Invert sort function results to make sure the same sort function
373 gives the same results across glist, gslist, gqueue and
376 * tests/asyncqueue-test.c:
377 - Updated the sort function to reflect the example in the
378 documentation for gasyncqueue.c.
380 2005-12-07 Martyn Russell <martyn@imendio.com>
382 * docs/reference/glib/glib-sections.txt:
383 * docs/reference/glib/tmpl/linked_lists_double.sgml:
384 * docs/reference/glib/tmpl/linked_lists_single.sgml:
387 - Added g_list_insert_sorted_with_data () and
388 g_slist_insert_sorted_with_data ().
389 - Removed the extra check in g_list_sort() and g_slist_sort() for
390 GCompareDataFunc vs. GCompareFunc.
392 2005-12-07 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
394 * glib-gettextize.in: Look up prefix at run-time on Win32,
395 assuming the standard directory structure with glib-gettextize in
398 2005-12-06 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
400 * glib/gmem.h: Exempt GTK+ from the mem chunk deprecation, since
401 we need GTK+ 2.8 to compile against GLib 2.10.
403 2005-12-05 Manish Singh <yosh@gimp.org>
405 * tests/run-collate-test.sh: set LC_COLLATE, not LANG, to be sure
406 to override any user settings.
408 2005-12-05 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
410 * configure.in: Revert an accidential commit
412 2005-12-05 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
414 * glib/gutf8.c: Documentation updates. (#323291, Morten Welinder)
416 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT):
417 * tests/gobject/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Set
418 MALLOC_CHECK_ and MALLOC_PERTURB_
420 * tests/run-collate-tests.sh: Run the collation tests explicitly
421 in en_US locale. (#320463)
423 * glib/gmem.h: Really deprecate GMemChunk.
430 * glib/gstrfuncs.c: Add versioned deprecation docs.
432 2005-12-05 Martyn Russell <martyn@imendio.com>
434 * docs/reference/glib/glib-sections.txt:
435 * glib/gasyncqueue.[ch]:
436 - Added support for sorting async queues by with _push_sorted(),
437 _push_sorted_unlocked(), _sort() and _sort_unlocked() (#323047).
440 * tests/asyncqueue-test.c:
441 - Added test case for gasyncqueue.c
443 Mon Dec 5 15:53:20 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
445 * glib/gslice.c: implement chain walking for arbitrary ->next pointer
446 offsets in g_slice_free_chain_with_offset() based on a patch by behdad
447 in bug 323178. moved time consuming logic from g_slice_free() out of
448 the inner loop, so g_slice_free_chain_with_offset() provides a real
449 performance benefit over g_slice_free1() now.
451 * glib/gslice.h: renamed g_slice_free_chain() to
452 g_slice_free_chain_with_offset(). implemented g_slice_free_chain() as
453 a type-safe macro as suggested in bug 323178.
454 simplified the macro implementation of g_slice_free() and implemented
455 it in a type safe manner for all compliers as suggested by Morten
456 Welinder <mortenw@gnome.org>.
461 * glib/glib.symbols: s/g_slice_free_chain/g_slice_free_chain_with_offset/
463 2005-12-05 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
465 * glib/gasyncqueue.c: Add some docs.
467 * tests/libmoduletestplugin_a.c: Fix compiler warnings.

471 Stanislav Brabec, patch by Andreas Schwab)
473 2005-12-04 Behdad Esfahbod <behdad@gnome.org>
475 * glib/gslice.h: Remove comma at the end of enum.
477 2005-12-04 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
479 Handle multiple user names with the same UID better.
480 (#319535, Laszlo Peter)
482 * glib/gutils.c (g_get_any_init_do): When determining user
483 data, first look up $LOGNAME. If the UID doesn't match
484 getuid(), fall back to the current behaviour of looking
485 up the user data based on getuid().
487 2005-12-04 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
489 * glib/gmacros.h (G_GNUC_WARN_UNUSED_RESULT): Add a macro
490 to make gcc warn if a function result is ignored. (#145466,
491 Arjan van de Ven, Alex Larsson)
493 * glib/gmem.h: Add the new attribute to g_realloc and

499 * glib/gcache.h: Deprecate g_cache_value_foreach. (#322956,
502 * glib/gmappedfile.c: Make mapping of empty files

507 Alexis S. L. Carvalho)
509 2005-12-02 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
511 * README.in: Add a note about Solaris threads.
514 * configure.in: Remove support for Solaris threads.
515 (#136971, Sebastian Wilhelmi, patch by Andrew Paprocki)
517 2005-12-02 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
519 * configure.in: Define G_GUINT64_CONSTANT in analogy to
520 G_GINT64_CONSTANT. (#322568, Andrew Paprocki)
522 2005-12-02 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
524 * glib/gslice.c: Win32 portability fixes and C99ism removal,
525 pointed out by Kazuki Iwamoto. (#323052)
527 2005-12-02 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
529 * glib/gatomic.c (g_atomic_int_add): Add a missing volatile for
530 the IA64 implementation.
532 Fri Dec 2 16:18:09 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
534 * glib/gslice.c: some naming and type size fixups.
536 Fri Dec 2 13:08:58 2005 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
538 * glib/gslice.h (g_slice_free): reworked GCC-specific type-safe macro
539 variant into something less verbose, but digestible for gcc-3.4.
541 Fri Dec 2 10:55:07 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
543 * tests/slice-test.c: extended to perform the benchmarking on the old
544 memchunk code if 'O' is selected.
546 * tests/memchunks.c: new file which contains the old GLib mem chunks
547 implementation with prefix old_mem_chunk_.
549 * tests/Makefile.am: added memchunks.c
551 Fri Dec 2 00:16:59 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
553 * glib/gslice.c: improved gettimeofday() timer resolution by maintaining
554 acceptable load distribution of the syscall.
555 (allocator_get_magazine_threshold): reduce minimum/single-thread magazine
556 sizes to approximately page_size/2.5 to avoid excessive startup allocations.
558 2005-12-01 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
560 * tests/gobject/ifacecheck.c (test_iface_base_init): Don't
561 double-free base interface members.
563 * tests/Makefile.am: Remove duplicate variable.
565 Thu Dec 1 17:32:46 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
567 * glib/gslice.[hc]: new slice allocator implementation.
569 * tests/slice-test.c: added random slice allocation test.
571 * glib/gthread.[hc]: removed newly added private thread mem API.
573 * glib/gthreadinit.h:
576 * glib/gmem.c: divided glib threading initialisation into three phases,
577 initialisation where private keys and messaging are not available (only
578 needed by gmem.c), initialisation without messaging but private keys
579 available (gslice.c, gmessage.c), and full fledged initialisers that
580 server the rest of glib. initialisation functions got renamed to reflect
581 the limitations of their corresponding phases.
583 * glib/gmem.c: removed memchunk code, defer allocations to
586 * glib/gmem.[hc]: removed g_slice_* skeletons.
588 * glib/glib.symbols: added g_slice_* symbols.
590 * configure.in: check for availability of posix_memalign(3), memalign(3)
593 * glib/Makefile.am: added gslice.[hc].
595 2005-12-01 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
597 * glib/gstdio.c (g_stat): In the Win32 implementation, strip
598 trailing slash(es) for non-root folders. stat() fails if non-root
599 folders are specified with trailing slashes. It's too much hassle
600 to demand that callers strip such slashes themselves, especially
601 as it is easy to get it wrong and strip the slash of a root
603 (g_rename): On NT-based Windows, use MoveFileEx() with
604 MOVEFILE_REPLACE_EXISTING to better match Unix behaviour.

611 * configure.in: Check whether do { } while (0) works.
613 * glib/gmacros.h: Use do { } while (0) for G_STMT_START /
614 G_STMT_END if it works.

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

647 Avoid double locking in g_intern_string (#322133,
650 * glib/gdataset.c (g_quark_from_string_internal): New
651 internal function which factors out common parts of
652 g_quark_from[_static]_string.

656 g_quark_from_string_internal, and only take the
658 (g_quark_new): Don't store the strings shifted by -1
659 in the g_quarks array.
660 (g_quark_to_string): Adapt to the previous change.
662 Tue Nov 22 14:04:26 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
666 g_hash_table_new_full(): create hash tables with a ref count of 1.
667 g_hash_table_ref(): atomically ref_count+=1
668 g_hash_table_unref(): atomically ref_count-=1, destroys hash table
669 when refcount reaches 0.
670 g_hash_table_destroy(): just destroy keys and values, unref by 1.
671 g_hash_table_insert():
672 g_hash_table_replace(): assert ref_count>0.
675 * glib/gatomic.c: added 'volatile' qualifier to all atomic pointer and
678 2005-11-20 Behdad Esfahbod <behdad@gnome.org>
680 * glib/guniprop.c (g_unichar_get_mirror_char): Remove unused
681 variables. (#321984, Andrew Paprocki)
683 2005-11-18 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>

711 and g_utf8_offset_to_pointer.
713 * glib/gutf8.c (g_utf8_pointer_to_offset)
714 (g_utf8_offset_to_pointer): Handle negative offsets, and use
715 "stutter stepping" for going backwards. (#320638, Larry
720 * glib/gthread.c: const correctness fixes, found
721 by Arjan van de Ven and gcc.
723 2005-11-16 Behdad Esfahbod <behdad@gnome.org>
725 * docs/reference/glib/tmpl/unicode.sgml: Correct typo on mentioning

728 2005-11-09 Behdad Esfahbod <behdad@gnome.org>
730 * glib/guniprop.c: Use bit hacks instead when checking a general
731 category value against multiple values.

735 2005-11-10 Simos Xenitellis <simos@gnome.org>
737 * configure.in: Added tt (Tatar) to ALL_LINGUAS.
739 2005-11-05 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
741 * glib/giowin32.c (g_io_win32_set_flags): Don't call g_warning().
742 (#320688) Instead set error and return failure.
744 2005-11-07 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
746 * glib/gmain.c (g_main_dispatch): Don't call cb_funcs->unref
747 while holding the context lock. (#320886, Andy Wingo)
749 2005-11-07 Billy Biggs <vektor@dumbterm.net>
751 * tests/refcount/Makefile.am: Add a missing reference to libglib
752 in the LDADD for this test.
754 2005-11-07 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
756 * glib/gmem.c (g_allocator_new): We need to set n_preallocs to a
757 nonzero value, otherwise GTK+ 2.8 breaks when compiled against
758 GLib 2.9. (#320755, Luca Ferretti)
760 2005-11-04 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
762 * glib/Makefile.am: Apply a patch from Behdad Esfahbod to
763 use a faster lookup table for g_unichar_get_mirror_char().
764 * glib/gmirroringtable.h: The new table.
765 * glib/gunichartables.h: Remove bidi_mirroring_table.
766 * glib/gen-unicode-tables.pl: Don't generate the mirroring
768 * glib/glib-mirroring-tab/*: Sources for the program
769 which generated gmirroringtable.h.
771 * glib/glist.c: Avoid some code duplication.
773 * glib/gscanner.h: Include gdataset.h. (#320322)
775 * glib/gdebug.h: add new GDebugFlag for fatal_criticals
776 * glib/gmessages.c: (_g_debug_init): handle G_DEBUG=fatal_criticals,
777 to help find critical warnings in applications. (#320017,
780 2005-11-02 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
782 * glib/glib.symbols: Remove large amount of trailing whitespace
783 from one line. Remove #ifdef G_UNDEFINED from around
784 g_hash_table_new and g_hash_table_new_full symbols, what was the
785 purpose of that? Add the g_slice functions.
787 Tue Nov 1 16:24:20 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
789 * glib/gmem.[hc]: prepared deprecation of GMemChunk and GAllocator.
790 added g_slice_*() API to allocate and cache small bits of memory.
791 an actuall allocator implementation for g_slice_*() is still pending.
793 * glib/gthread.[hc]: changes from a patch by Matthias Clasen.
794 changed GRealThread list to use in-structure *next; fields instead
795 of GSList, in order for thread iteration to not depenend on g_slice_*()
797 _g_thread_mem_private_get():
798 _g_thread_mem_private_set(): added accessors for private memory,
799 needed because the ordinary GPrivate implementation relies on GArray
800 and GSList and therefore indirectly on working g_slice_*() allocations.
803 g_thread_foreach(): new public API function to loop over all existing threads.
817 removed GAllocator and free list usages and accompanying locks.
818 use g_slice_*() API to allocate and cache small bits of memory.
820 * glib/ghook.h: removed GMemChunk field from public API.
823 * glib/glist.h: deprecate allocator API, provide _free1() for consistency.
825 * glib/gnode.h: deprecate allocator API.
827 * glib/gmain.c: reordered GPollRec fields so g_slice_free_chain() can
828 be used for poll rec lists.
830 * glib/grel.c: removed mem chunk usage, and allocated tuples via g_slice_*().
831 g_relation_destroy(): free all tuples from the all_tuples hash table,
832 this effectively maintains the life time track keeping of tuples.
833 g_relation_delete_tuple(): free tuples which are removed from the
834 all_tuples hash table. this fixes a temporary leak that was present
835 in the memchunk code until the destruction of the relation.
837 2005-10-29 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
839 * tests/convert-test.c: Add some tests for conversions between
840 UTF-8, UCS-4 and UTF-16.
842 * glib/gutf8.c (g_utf8_to_ucs4, g_utf8_to_utf16): Fix handling
843 of len == -1, noticed by Morten Welinder.
845 2005-10-27 Erdal Ronahi <erdal.ronahi@gmail.com>
847 * configure.in: Added ku (Kurdish) to ALL_LINGUAS
849 2005-10-26 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
851 * glib/gutf8.c (g_ucs4_to_utf8): Don't set items_read twice
852 in the error case, and add some documentation. (#319806, Morten
855 2005-10-19 Manish Singh <yosh@gimp.org>
857 * configure.in: Use AC_CHECK_FUNCS for _NSGetEnviron, to get the
858 config.h symbol automatically. Fixes bug #313731.
860 2005-10-19 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
862 * glib/gwin32.c (g_win32_get_package_installation_directory):
863 Return a g_strdup()ed copy of the value stored in the hash table,
864 so that it can be g_free()d without leaving a dangling pointer in
865 the hash table. (#319232)
867 2005-10-06 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
869 * glib/gunicollate.c (g_utf8_collate_key_for_filename): Handle
870 all-zero sequences correctly. (#317930, Sebastien Bacher)
872 2005-10-05 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
874 * glib/gmarkup.c (g_markup_escape_text): Doc addition
876 * Makefile.am: Add Collation tests.
878 * tests/collate/*: Inputs and expected outputs for collation tests.
880 * tests/run-collate-tests.sh: Script to run collation tests.
882 * tests/unicode-collate.c (main): Rework slightly to make
883 it usable in unit tests. Also test g_utf8_collate_key_for_filename().
885 2005-10-01 Behdad Esfahbod <behdad@gnome.org>
887 * docs/reference/glib/tmpl/unicode.sgml:
888 * glib/gen-unicode-tables.pl:
890 * glib/gunichartables.h:
892 * tests/casefold.txt:
893 * tests/casemap.txt: Updated to Unicode 4.1. There are five new
894 GUnicodeBreakType types. That may break some applications, like
897 2005-09-26 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
899 * glib/gstrfuncs.c (g_ascii_strtoull): Add details to the
900 docs. (#314393, Matthew F. Barnes)
903 * glib/gprintf.h: Remove g_snprintf() and g_vsnprintf(), since
904 they are already declared in glib.h. This doesn't break documented
905 use of gprintf.h, but should probably be pointed out in the
906 release notes for 2.10. (#314232, Behdad Esfahbod)
908 Tue Sep 20 13:16:04 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
910 * glib/gpattern.c (g_pattern_ph_match): applied significant recursion
911 complexity optimization, based on a patch from Matthias Clasen.
913 * tests/patterntest.c: more tests, mostly from matthias.
915 2005-09-20 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
917 * glib/gqueue.c (g_queue_insert_sorted): Correct the docs.
918 (#316703, Mark Drago)
920 Mon Sep 19 17:23:23 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
922 * glib/gpattern.c: applied a patch from matthias which checks on the
923 upper bound of GPatternSpec length to optimize matches.
926 * tests/patterntest.c: added more match cases.
928 2005-09-16 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
930 * glib/gstrfuncs.c (g_ascii_strcasecmp, g_ascii_strncasecmp): Add
931 warning to doc comment that these functions should not be used on
932 encodings like CP932.
934 2005-09-14 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
936 * tests/keyfile-test.c: Add a test for grup names of length 1.
938 * glib/gkeyfile.c (g_key_file_line_is_group): Accept group names
939 of length 1. (#316309)
941 2005-09-12 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
943 * glib/gmarkup.c (g_markup_escape_text): Clarify docs.
945 2005-09-11 Sebastian Wilhelmi <seppi@seppi.de>
947 * tests/refcount/Makefile.am (INCLUDES): Link the the refcount
948 tests to the system thread library $(G_THREAD_LIBS). Fixes #313744
951 2005-09-11 Kjartan Maraas <kmaraas@gnome.org>
953 * glib/gmain.c: (g_child_watch_prepare), (g_child_watch_check),
954 (child_watch_helper_thread): Remove some dead code. Closes
957 2005-09-07 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
959 * glib/Makefile.am: Create also a console version of the
960 gspawn-win32-helper program, gspawn-win32-helper-console.exe.
961 It's otherwise identical to gspawn-win32-helper.exe, except marked
962 as a console application (linked without the -mwindows option).
964 * glib/gspawn-win32.c (do_spawn_directly, do_spawn_with_pipes):
965 Drop the dont_wait parameter. Its truth value correlated 100% with
966 the NULLness of the exit_status parameter anyway, so it's enough
967 to check whether exit_status is NULL. Invert the sense of the
968 dont_return_handle parameter and rename it to do_return_handle, to
969 make the code easier to read by avoiding double negations.
971 (g_spawn_sync_utf8, g_spawn_async_with_pipes_utf8): Modify calls
972 to do_spawn_with_pipes() accordingly.
974 (do_spawn_with_pipes): If we have a console, use the console
975 version of the helper program, otherwise use the GUI one. This
976 avoids extra console windows opening up in some situations. (In
977 case a console application uses the GUI gspawn-win32-helper.exe to
978 spawn another console application we would get a separate console
979 for the spawned console application).
981 * glib-zip.in: Distribute also gspawn-win32-helper-console.exe.
983 2005-09-05 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
985 * glib/gmappedfile.c (g_mapped_file_new): Report an error
986 if the file is too large. (#315275, Kjartan Maraas)
988 * glib/gkeyfile.c (g_key_file_load_from_fd): The return value
989 of read() is signed. (#315273, Kjartan Maraas)
991 2005-08-31 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
993 * glib/gutils.h: Wrapping atexit() is a bad idea on Windows, where
994 the EXE and each DLL have their own atexit function chains.
996 #define g_atexit as atexit instead. This means it has a
997 better chance of doing what the caller wants. For instance,
998 gtkhtml calls g_atexit() registering a function in gtkhtml
999 itself. This caused a crash when g_atexit() was implemented as a
1000 function in the GLib DLL. The gtkhtml DLL was already unloaded by
1001 the time the GLib DLL got unloaded.
1003 * glib/gutils.c: #undef the #define mentioned above, to also get a
1004 real g_atexit() into the DLL for backward compatibility. Document
1005 the Windows behaviour of g_atexit(), and document the varying ways
1006 atexit() can behave in the context of dynamically loaded modules
1009 2005-08-31 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
1011 * glib/glib.symbols:
1013 * glib/gdataset.c: Add string interning functions.
1015 2005-08-28 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
1017 * glib/giochannel.c: Unify some near-duplicate strings. (#314654,
1020 2005-08-26 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
1022 * configure.in: Bump version to 2.9.0
1024 2005-08-25 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
1026 Make also the g_spawn*() functions take parameters in the GLib
1027 file name encoding, i.e. UTF-8, on Windows. Has no impact on Unix
1028 API or ABI. Like the other GLib API that was earlier changed to
1029 use UTF-8 on Windows, the names of the functions that take UTF-8
1030 have _utf8 suffixes added by using preprocessor macros in the
1031 header file. The old names are kept for functions with the old
1032 behaviour, taking parameters in the system codepage, for DLL ABI
1035 * glib/gspawn.h: On Win32 add the suffix _utf8 to the names of the
1036 g_spawn*() functions.
1038 * glib/gspawn-win32.c: Use wide-char API on NT-based
1039 Windows. Convert parameters from UTF-8 to wide chars (NT) or
1040 system codepage (Win9x) and call the C library _wspawn*() or
1041 spawn*() functions respectvely. Add DLL ABI stability versions
1042 that take parameters in the system codepage.
1044 * glib/gspawn-win32-helper.c: On NT-based Windows use the
1045 wide-char versions of argv and envp, and use wide-char API to
1046 change directory and spawn the program to run. Remove the verbose
1047 debugging output, it was too complex to modify for the wide-char
1048 features. (Just add temporary debugging printouts if needed, no
1049 need to have them permanently in the source.)
1051 * glib/gspawn.c: Corresponding documentation updates.
1053 * glib/glib.symbols: Corresponding changes: Mark the ABI stability
1054 symbols as PRIVATE, add the new _utf8-suffixed ones.
1056 2005-08-24 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
1058 * glib/gtypes.h (G_MININT64): Cast the constant to gint64; it is
1059 guint64 otherwise and that can produce warnings about comparison
1060 between signed and unsigned.
1062 2005-08-23 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
1064 * glib/gutils.c: Fix the crt_externs.h include.
1066 2005-08-23 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
1068 * NEWS: Fix spelling of my first name.

1097 Add tests for new optimisation, and fix a leak.
1099 2005-08-17 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
1101 * configure.in: Check for crt_externs.h and _NSGetEnviron.
1103 * glib/gutils.c: On Darwin, include crt-externs.h and
1104 define environ using _NSGetEnviron(). (#313731)
1106 2005-08-16 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
1108 * glib/gutils.c (g_get_any_init): Move the body of the big if...
1109 (g_get_any_init_do): ... to this new function.
1110 (g_get_any_init): Declare as inline.
1111 (g_get_any_init_locked): New inline function, does the locking.
1112 Make use of these two throughout the code.
1114 2005-08-15 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
1116 * glib/gbacktrace.c (g_on_error_stack_trace): Wait for
1117 the child process and then simply return. This makes
1118 The "S" option work as documented in g_on_error_query().
1119 (#313125, Matthew F. Barnes)
1121 * glib/gunicode.h: Update the link to Unicode category
1122 values. (#313369, Behnam Esfahbod)

1125 a little. (#311727, Tristan van Berkom)
1127 * glib/abicheck.sh, gobject/abicheck.sh: Make the
1128 check work on ia64 too, where some symbols ended up
1129 in yet another section.
