102 * glib/gslice.c (slice_config_init): initialize GSlice config from
103 G_SLICE environment variable. we support G_SLICE=always-malloc
104 currently, which forces all g_slice_*() allocations to use the system
108 g_parse_debug_string(): added a note about not using g_malloc() here.
109 _g_getenv_nomalloc(): getenv() variant that doesn't use g_malloc or

130 non-exlusive pools for at most a 1/2 second. Do not reorder tasks
131 due to superfluous tasks. Global tasks wait at most for

337 Tue Dec 20 18:14:14 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
339 * glib/gslice.[hc]: added mem_error() and mem_assert() to test and
340 handle errors without depending on gmessage.c which might not be
341 setup when the error occours.
342 removed G_SLICE_CONFIG_ALWAYS_FREE config option, fixed the code so
343 always freeing can be achieved by adjusting the working set time to
344 0 with G_SLICE_CONFIG_WORKING_SET_MSECS.
345 added G_SLICE_CONFIG_COLOR_INCREMENT to test different color increments
346 (mainly 0 and 1). reduced the minimum block size to 128 bytes, to
347 minimize wastage if small amounts of differently sized structrues are
348 allocated, this does come at a performance cost of roughly 5% though.
349 fixed up block alignment calculation, so it works for varying
350 block sizes. only use strerror() not g_strerror() since the latter
351 depends on working GQuark and GSlice.
352 mem_error(): implemented in terms of fprintf and vfprintf.
354 * tests/slice-color.c: new program to test cache colorization effects.
356 * tests/slice-test.c: trade G_SLICE_CONFIG_ALWAYS_FREE for 0 duration
357 G_SLICE_CONFIG_WORKING_SET_MSECS.

367 and g_atomic_pointer_get. Add g_atomic_int_set and
368 g_atomic_pointer_set implementations for the !DEFINE_WITH_MUTEXES &&
369 G_ATOMIC_OP_MEMORY_BARRIER_NEEDED case, as well as defining them
370 as functions (additionally to the macros in the header) for the
371 !G_ATOMIC_OP_MEMORY_BARRIER_NEEDED case.
373 2005-12-16 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
375 * glib/gmem.c (g_allocator_new): Don't return a pointer to
376 a const struct, since apps expect to be able to modify it.
377 (#324179, J. Ali Harlow)
379 Tue Dec 13 10:13:32 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
381 * glib/gatomic.h: added g_atomic_pointer_set() and g_atomic_int_set()
382 for systems where the initialization of atomic variables requires a
383 write memory barrier.

476 - Added test case for gasyncqueue.c
478 Mon Dec 5 15:53:20 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
480 * glib/gslice.c: implement chain walking for arbitrary ->next pointer
481 offsets in g_slice_free_chain_with_offset() based on a patch by behdad
482 in bug 323178. moved time consuming logic from g_slice_free() out of
483 the inner loop, so g_slice_free_chain_with_offset() provides a real
484 performance benefit over g_slice_free1() now.
486 * glib/gslice.h: renamed g_slice_free_chain() to
487 g_slice_free_chain_with_offset(). implemented g_slice_free_chain() as
488 a type-safe macro as suggested in bug 323178.
489 simplified the macro implementation of g_slice_free() and implemented
490 it in a type safe manner for all compliers as suggested by Morten
491 Welinder <mortenw@gnome.org>.

611 * glib/gmem.c: divided glib threading initialisation into three phases,
612 initialisation where private keys and messaging are not available (only
613 needed by gmem.c), initialisation without messaging but private keys
614 available (gslice.c, gmessage.c), and full fledged initialisers that
615 server the rest of glib. initialisation functions got renamed to reflect
616 the limitations of their corresponding phases.
618 * glib/gmem.c: removed memchunk code, defer allocations to
621 * glib/gmem.[hc]: removed g_slice_* skeletons.
623 * glib/glib.symbols: added g_slice_* symbols.
625 * configure.in: check for availability of posix_memalign(3), memalign(3)
628 * glib/Makefile.am: added gslice.[hc].
630 2005-12-01 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
632 * glib/gstdio.c (g_stat): In the Win32 implementation, strip
633 trailing slash(es) for non-root folders. stat() fails if non-root
634 folders are specified with trailing slashes. It's too much hassle
635 to demand that callers strip such slashes themselves, especially
636 as it is easy to get it wrong and strip the slash of a root
638 (g_rename): On NT-based Windows, use MoveFileEx() with
639 MOVEFILE_REPLACE_EXISTING to better match Unix behaviour.
641 2005-11-28 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
643 Fix G_STMT_START / G_STMT_END on Solaris. (#321972,
646 * configure.in: Check whether do { } while (0) works.
648 * glib/gmacros.h: Use do { } while (0) for G_STMT_START /
649 G_STMT_END if it works.
651 2005-11-28 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
653 * glib/gthread.c (g_static_rw_lock_wait, g_static_rw_lock_signal):

660 2005-11-27 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
662 * glib/gunicollate.c (g_utf8_collate_key_for_filename):
663 Don't read beyond len. (#322520, Christian Persch)
665 Wed Nov 23 17:34:01 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
667 * glib/gdataset.c: access datalist flags via atomic pointer access
668 functions, instead of acquiring the dataset lock. this is faster and
669 also matches the atomic pointer readouts in gdatalistprivate.h and
670 direct pointer modifications required by gobject.c.
672 Wed Nov 23 13:35:31 2005 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
674 * glib/gdataset.c: streamlined initialization code somewhat,
675 removed GData node cache.
677 2005-11-22 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
679 * glib/ghash.c (g_hash_table_ref):
680 (g_hash_table_unref): Mark these as new API.
682 Avoid double locking in g_intern_string (#322133,
685 * glib/gdataset.c (g_quark_from_string_internal): New
686 internal function which factors out common parts of
687 g_quark_from[_static]_string.
688 (g_quark_from_string, g_quark_from_static_string):
689 Use g_quark_from_string_internal.
690 (g_intern_string, g_intern_static_string): Use
691 g_quark_from_string_internal, and only take the
693 (g_quark_new): Don't store the strings shifted by -1
694 in the g_quarks array.
695 (g_quark_to_string): Adapt to the previous change.
697 Tue Nov 22 14:04:26 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
701 g_hash_table_new_full(): create hash tables with a ref count of 1.
702 g_hash_table_ref(): atomically ref_count+=1
703 g_hash_table_unref(): atomically ref_count-=1, destroys hash table
704 when refcount reaches 0.
705 g_hash_table_destroy(): just destroy keys and values, unref by 1.
706 g_hash_table_insert():
707 g_hash_table_replace(): assert ref_count>0.
710 * glib/gatomic.c: added 'volatile' qualifier to all atomic pointer and
713 2005-11-20 Behdad Esfahbod <behdad@gnome.org>
715 * glib/guniprop.c (g_unichar_get_mirror_char): Remove unused
716 variables. (#321984, Andrew Paprocki)
718 2005-11-18 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>

735 * README.in: Updates.
739 * glib/gdate.c (g_date_set_time_t):
740 (g_date_set_time_val): Add functions to set a date from
741 a time_t and from a GTimeVal.
742 (g_date_set_time): Deprecate. (#314067, Roger Leigh)
745 * tests/utf8-pointer.c: Unit tests for g_utf8_pointer_to_offset
746 and g_utf8_offset_to_pointer.
748 * glib/gutf8.c (g_utf8_pointer_to_offset)
749 (g_utf8_offset_to_pointer): Handle negative offsets, and use
750 "stutter stepping" for going backwards. (#320638, Larry
755 * glib/gthread.c: const correctness fixes, found
756 by Arjan van de Ven and gcc.
758 2005-11-16 Behdad Esfahbod <behdad@gnome.org>
760 * docs/reference/glib/tmpl/unicode.sgml: Correct typo on mentioning
761 @G_UNICODE_BREAK_UNKNOWN that should be #G_UNICODE_BREAK_UNKNOWN.
763 2005-11-09 Behdad Esfahbod <behdad@gnome.org>
765 * glib/guniprop.c: Use bit hacks instead when checking a general
766 category value against multiple values.

770 2005-11-10 Simos Xenitellis <simos@gnome.org>
772 * configure.in: Added tt (Tatar) to ALL_LINGUAS.
774 2005-11-05 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
776 * glib/giowin32.c (g_io_win32_set_flags): Don't call g_warning().
777 (#320688) Instead set error and return failure.
779 2005-11-07 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
781 * glib/gmain.c (g_main_dispatch): Don't call cb_funcs->unref
782 while holding the context lock. (#320886, Andy Wingo)
784 2005-11-07 Billy Biggs <vektor@dumbterm.net>
786 * tests/refcount/Makefile.am: Add a missing reference to libglib
787 in the LDADD for this test.
789 2005-11-07 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
791 * glib/gmem.c (g_allocator_new): We need to set n_preallocs to a
792 nonzero value, otherwise GTK+ 2.8 breaks when compiled against
793 GLib 2.9. (#320755, Luca Ferretti)
795 2005-11-04 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
797 * glib/Makefile.am: Apply a patch from Behdad Esfahbod to
798 use a faster lookup table for g_unichar_get_mirror_char().
799 * glib/gmirroringtable.h: The new table.
800 * glib/gunichartables.h: Remove bidi_mirroring_table.
801 * glib/gen-unicode-tables.pl: Don't generate the mirroring
803 * glib/glib-mirroring-tab/*: Sources for the program
804 which generated gmirroringtable.h.
806 * glib/glist.c: Avoid some code duplication.
808 * glib/gscanner.h: Include gdataset.h. (#320322)
810 * glib/gdebug.h: add new GDebugFlag for fatal_criticals
811 * glib/gmessages.c: (_g_debug_init): handle G_DEBUG=fatal_criticals,
812 to help find critical warnings in applications. (#320017,
815 2005-11-02 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
817 * glib/glib.symbols: Remove large amount of trailing whitespace
818 from one line. Remove #ifdef G_UNDEFINED from around
819 g_hash_table_new and g_hash_table_new_full symbols, what was the
820 purpose of that? Add the g_slice functions.
822 Tue Nov 1 16:24:20 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
824 * glib/gmem.[hc]: prepared deprecation of GMemChunk and GAllocator.
825 added g_slice_*() API to allocate and cache small bits of memory.
826 an actuall allocator implementation for g_slice_*() is still pending.
828 * glib/gthread.[hc]: changes from a patch by Matthias Clasen.
829 changed GRealThread list to use in-structure *next; fields instead
830 of GSList, in order for thread iteration to not depenend on g_slice_*()
832 _g_thread_mem_private_get():
833 _g_thread_mem_private_set(): added accessors for private memory,
834 needed because the ordinary GPrivate implementation relies on GArray
835 and GSList and therefore indirectly on working g_slice_*() allocations.
838 g_thread_foreach(): new public API function to loop over all existing threads.
852 removed GAllocator and free list usages and accompanying locks.
853 use g_slice_*() API to allocate and cache small bits of memory.
855 * glib/ghook.h: removed GMemChunk field from public API.
858 * glib/glist.h: deprecate allocator API, provide _free1() for consistency.
860 * glib/gnode.h: deprecate allocator API.
862 * glib/gmain.c: reordered GPollRec fields so g_slice_free_chain() can
863 be used for poll rec lists.
865 * glib/grel.c: removed mem chunk usage, and allocated tuples via g_slice_*().
866 g_relation_destroy(): free all tuples from the all_tuples hash table,
867 this effectively maintains the life time track keeping of tuples.
868 g_relation_delete_tuple(): free tuples which are removed from the
869 all_tuples hash table. this fixes a temporary leak that was present
870 in the memchunk code until the destruction of the relation.
872 2005-10-29 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
874 * tests/convert-test.c: Add some tests for conversions between
875 UTF-8, UCS-4 and UTF-16.
877 * glib/gutf8.c (g_utf8_to_ucs4, g_utf8_to_utf16): Fix handling
878 of len == -1, noticed by Morten Welinder.
880 2005-10-27 Erdal Ronahi <erdal.ronahi@gmail.com>
882 * configure.in: Added ku (Kurdish) to ALL_LINGUAS
884 2005-10-26 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
886 * glib/gutf8.c (g_ucs4_to_utf8): Don't set items_read twice
887 in the error case, and add some documentation. (#319806, Morten
890 2005-10-19 Manish Singh <yosh@gimp.org>
892 * configure.in: Use AC_CHECK_FUNCS for _NSGetEnviron, to get the
893 config.h symbol automatically. Fixes bug #313731.
895 2005-10-19 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
897 * glib/gwin32.c (g_win32_get_package_installation_directory):
898 Return a g_strdup()ed copy of the value stored in the hash table,
899 so that it can be g_free()d without leaving a dangling pointer in
900 the hash table. (#319232)
902 2005-10-06 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
904 * glib/gunicollate.c (g_utf8_collate_key_for_filename): Handle
905 all-zero sequences correctly. (#317930, Sebastien Bacher)
907 2005-10-05 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
909 * glib/gmarkup.c (g_markup_escape_text): Doc addition
911 * Makefile.am: Add Collation tests.
913 * tests/collate/*: Inputs and expected outputs for collation tests.
915 * tests/run-collate-tests.sh: Script to run collation tests.
917 * tests/unicode-collate.c (main): Rework slightly to make
918 it usable in unit tests. Also test g_utf8_collate_key_for_filename().
920 2005-10-01 Behdad Esfahbod <behdad@gnome.org>
922 * docs/reference/glib/tmpl/unicode.sgml:
923 * glib/gen-unicode-tables.pl:
925 * glib/gunichartables.h:
927 * tests/casefold.txt:
928 * tests/casemap.txt: Updated to Unicode 4.1. There are five new
929 GUnicodeBreakType types. That may break some applications, like
932 2005-09-26 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
934 * glib/gstrfuncs.c (g_ascii_strtoull): Add details to the
935 docs. (#314393, Matthew F. Barnes)
938 * glib/gprintf.h: Remove g_snprintf() and g_vsnprintf(), since
939 they are already declared in glib.h. This doesn't break documented
940 use of gprintf.h, but should probably be pointed out in the
941 release notes for 2.10. (#314232, Behdad Esfahbod)
943 Tue Sep 20 13:16:04 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
945 * glib/gpattern.c (g_pattern_ph_match): applied significant recursion
946 complexity optimization, based on a patch from Matthias Clasen.
948 * tests/patterntest.c: more tests, mostly from matthias.
950 2005-09-20 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
952 * glib/gqueue.c (g_queue_insert_sorted): Correct the docs.
953 (#316703, Mark Drago)
955 Mon Sep 19 17:23:23 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
957 * glib/gpattern.c: applied a patch from matthias which checks on the
958 upper bound of GPatternSpec length to optimize matches.
961 * tests/patterntest.c: added more match cases.
963 2005-09-16 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
965 * glib/gstrfuncs.c (g_ascii_strcasecmp, g_ascii_strncasecmp): Add
966 warning to doc comment that these functions should not be used on
967 encodings like CP932.
969 2005-09-14 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
971 * tests/keyfile-test.c: Add a test for grup names of length 1.
973 * glib/gkeyfile.c (g_key_file_line_is_group): Accept group names
974 of length 1. (#316309)
976 2005-09-12 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
978 * glib/gmarkup.c (g_markup_escape_text): Clarify docs.
980 2005-09-11 Sebastian Wilhelmi <seppi@seppi.de>
982 * tests/refcount/Makefile.am (INCLUDES): Link the the refcount
983 tests to the system thread library $(G_THREAD_LIBS). Fixes #313744
986 2005-09-11 Kjartan Maraas <kmaraas@gnome.org>
988 * glib/gmain.c: (g_child_watch_prepare), (g_child_watch_check),
989 (child_watch_helper_thread): Remove some dead code. Closes
992 2005-09-07 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
994 * glib/Makefile.am: Create also a console version of the
995 gspawn-win32-helper program, gspawn-win32-helper-console.exe.
996 It's otherwise identical to gspawn-win32-helper.exe, except marked
997 as a console application (linked without the -mwindows option).
999 * glib/gspawn-win32.c (do_spawn_directly, do_spawn_with_pipes):
1000 Drop the dont_wait parameter. Its truth value correlated 100% with
1001 the NULLness of the exit_status parameter anyway, so it's enough
1002 to check whether exit_status is NULL. Invert the sense of the
1003 dont_return_handle parameter and rename it to do_return_handle, to
1004 make the code easier to read by avoiding double negations.
1006 (g_spawn_sync_utf8, g_spawn_async_with_pipes_utf8): Modify calls
1007 to do_spawn_with_pipes() accordingly.
1009 (do_spawn_with_pipes): If we have a console, use the console
1010 version of the helper program, otherwise use the GUI one. This
1011 avoids extra console windows opening up in some situations. (In
1012 case a console application uses the GUI gspawn-win32-helper.exe to
1013 spawn another console application we would get a separate console
1014 for the spawned console application).
1016 * glib-zip.in: Distribute also gspawn-win32-helper-console.exe.
1018 2005-09-05 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
1020 * glib/gmappedfile.c (g_mapped_file_new): Report an error
1021 if the file is too large. (#315275, Kjartan Maraas)
1023 * glib/gkeyfile.c (g_key_file_load_from_fd): The return value
1024 of read() is signed. (#315273, Kjartan Maraas)
1026 2005-08-31 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
1028 * glib/gutils.h: Wrapping atexit() is a bad idea on Windows, where
1029 the EXE and each DLL have their own atexit function chains.
1031 #define g_atexit as atexit instead. This means it has a
1032 better chance of doing what the caller wants. For instance,
1033 gtkhtml calls g_atexit() registering a function in gtkhtml
1034 itself. This caused a crash when g_atexit() was implemented as a
1035 function in the GLib DLL. The gtkhtml DLL was already unloaded by
1036 the time the GLib DLL got unloaded.
1038 * glib/gutils.c: #undef the #define mentioned above, to also get a
1039 real g_atexit() into the DLL for backward compatibility. Document
1040 the Windows behaviour of g_atexit(), and document the varying ways
1041 atexit() can behave in the context of dynamically loaded modules
1044 2005-08-31 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
1046 * glib/glib.symbols:
1048 * glib/gdataset.c: Add string interning functions.
1050 2005-08-28 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
1052 * glib/giochannel.c: Unify some near-duplicate strings. (#314654,
1055 2005-08-26 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
1057 * configure.in: Bump version to 2.9.0
1059 2005-08-25 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
1061 Make also the g_spawn*() functions take parameters in the GLib
1062 file name encoding, i.e. UTF-8, on Windows. Has no impact on Unix
1063 API or ABI. Like the other GLib API that was earlier changed to
1064 use UTF-8 on Windows, the names of the functions that take UTF-8
1065 have _utf8 suffixes added by using preprocessor macros in the
1066 header file. The old names are kept for functions with the old
1067 behaviour, taking parameters in the system codepage, for DLL ABI
1070 * glib/gspawn.h: On Win32 add the suffix _utf8 to the names of the
1071 g_spawn*() functions.
1073 * glib/gspawn-win32.c: Use wide-char API on NT-based
1074 Windows. Convert parameters from UTF-8 to wide chars (NT) or
1075 system codepage (Win9x) and call the C library _wspawn*() or
1076 spawn*() functions respectvely. Add DLL ABI stability versions
1077 that take parameters in the system codepage.
1079 * glib/gspawn-win32-helper.c: On NT-based Windows use the
1080 wide-char versions of argv and envp, and use wide-char API to
1081 change directory and spawn the program to run. Remove the verbose
1082 debugging output, it was too complex to modify for the wide-char
1083 features. (Just add temporary debugging printouts if needed, no
1084 need to have them permanently in the source.)
1086 * glib/gspawn.c: Corresponding documentation updates.
1088 * glib/glib.symbols: Corresponding changes: Mark the ABI stability
1089 symbols as PRIVATE, add the new _utf8-suffixed ones.
1091 2005-08-24 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
1093 * glib/gtypes.h (G_MININT64): Cast the constant to gint64; it is
1094 guint64 otherwise and that can produce warnings about comparison
1095 between signed and unsigned.
1097 2005-08-23 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
1099 * glib/gutils.c: Fix the crt_externs.h include.
1101 2005-08-23 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
1103 * NEWS: Fix spelling of my first name.
1105 2005-08-23 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>

1132 Add tests for new optimisation, and fix a leak.
1134 2005-08-17 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
1136 * configure.in: Check for crt_externs.h and _NSGetEnviron.
1138 * glib/gutils.c: On Darwin, include crt-externs.h and
1139 define environ using _NSGetEnviron(). (#313731)
1141 2005-08-16 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
1143 * glib/gutils.c (g_get_any_init): Move the body of the big if...
1144 (g_get_any_init_do): ... to this new function.
1145 (g_get_any_init): Declare as inline.
1146 (g_get_any_init_locked): New inline function, does the locking.
1147 Make use of these two throughout the code.
1149 2005-08-15 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
1151 * glib/gbacktrace.c (g_on_error_stack_trace): Wait for
1152 the child process and then simply return. This makes
1153 The "S" option work as documented in g_on_error_query().
1154 (#313125, Matthew F. Barnes)
1156 * glib/gunicode.h: Update the link to Unicode category
1157 values. (#313369, Behnam Esfahbod)
1159 * glib/gqueue.c (g_queue_find_custom): Clarify docs
1160 a little. (#311727, Tristan van Berkom)
1162 * glib/abicheck.sh, gobject/abicheck.sh: Make the
1163 check work on ia64 too, where some symbols ended up
1164 in yet another section.
