[platform/upstream/glib.git] / ChangeLog.pre-2-6

Fri Jun 19 03:11:02 1998  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * gdataset.c: removed g_dataset_try_key, g_dataset_force_id and
        g_dataset_retrive_key in favour of GQuarks.
        a GQuark is an numeric id wich is associated with a certain string.
        (g_quark_try_string): try to get the quark associated with this string,
        if the lookup failed return 0.
        (g_quark_from_string): get the associated quark for a string, if there
        isn't currently a GQuark associated with this string, then allocate a
        new quark and return that.
        (g_quark_from_static_string): like the above function, but the string
        isn't strdup()ed to save memory.
        (g_quark_to_string): get the string that is associated with a certain
        GQuark.

        * gdataset.c (g_dataset_id_set_data_full): invoke the destroy function
        _after_ the new data has been setup.

Thu Jun 18 02:35:21 1998  Owen Taylor  <otaylor@gtk.org>

        * glib.h: Changed messages for g_return_[val]_if_fail to
        be somewhat more clear: assertion "blah" failed.

1998-06-18  Federico Mena Quintero  <federico@nuclecu.unam.mx>

        * testglib.c (main): Use GINT_TO_POINTER casts to remove compiler
        warnings.

        * grel.c: #include <string.h>

Fri Jun 12 15:39:06 1998  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * glib.h (GScanner): cleanups of the structure fields (binary
        incompatible).

Fri Jun 12 00:39:28 1998  Josh MacDonald  <jmacd@icw.EECS.Berkeley.EDU>

        * glib.h: add new hash and equal functions g_int_*.  complement
        g_direct_hash with g_direct_equal.

        * grel.c: new file, GRelations implement tuples of N-N mappings.
        A comment in glib.h briefly describes the interface.

        * ghash.c: new function, g_hash_table_size

        * glib.h: new typedefs, gsize, gssize, gtime.

        * garray.c: new functions implementing a simplified GArray.  This
        GPtrArray is an array of gpointers and has functions to add and
        remove elements, much like java.lang.Vector.

        * garray.c: new functions for the single-byte special case of
        GArray.  The functions g_byte_array* operate on arrays of bytes.
        Internally, a GArray is used.

        * testglib.c: tests for g_ptr_array, g_byte_array, and g_relation...

1998-06-11  Federico Mena Quintero  <federico@nuclecu.unam.mx>

        * gdataset.c: #include <string.h>

Thu Jun 11 04:15:31 1998  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * glib.h:
        * gdataset.c: new function g_dataset_retrive_key. adjusted prealloc
        sizes, to take up less space on initial allocation.

1998-06-10  Raja R Harinath  <harinath@cs.umn.edu>

        * acinclude.m4: New file.  Contains `libtool.m4' from libtool-1.2,
        the version from which glib's libtool forked.  Needed for people
        who use post-1.2 alphas of libtool.
        * configure.in (enable_mem_check, enable_mem_profile): Replace
        `echo -n' with AC_MSG_CHECKING.
        (fd_set): Explain test for `fd_set' better.

        * glib.h ghash.c gstring.c gdataset.c gutils.c:
        - Added new typedef g_const_pointer; expunged all incorrect
          uses of 'const gpointer'.
        - Fixed up warnings that that created,
        - Changed GHashFunc and GCompareFunc to take g_const_pointer
          arguments. (Necessary, but will cause warnings in existing
          code until fixed)
        - Added other new const in harmless positions.

Mon Jun  8 01:06:47 1998  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * glib.h: added enum-helper macros for code generation.
        added G_BREAKPOINT().

Sat Jun  6 14:09:22 PDT 1998 Manish Singh <yosh@gimp.org>

        * gmem.c: commented out MEM_PROFILE and MEM_CHECK, causing weird
        problems

        * glib.h (g_chunk_new0): convenience macro, for allocating small chunks 
        like g_chunk_new() with additional 0 initialization.

Mon Jun  1 04:43:27 1998  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * ghash.c (g_hash_table_insert): wrote a comment describing why
        a hash node's key should not also get replaced when overriding
        previous entries.

Tue May 26 18:30:06 1998  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * glib.h (g_string_sized_new): new function to controll the preallocated
        size of a GString.

        * glib.h (g_strreversed): new function to reverse a string.

Mon May 18 22:14:39 1998  Owen Taylor  <otaylor@gtk.org>
(Yasuhiro SHIRASAKI <joke@awa.tohoku.ac.jp> : gtk-joke-980517-0.patch)
        
        * gutils.c: Restored a missing prototype for g_vsprintf.

Wed May 20 05:02:26 1998  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * gscanner.c (g_scanner_unexp_token): provide usefull default
        specifications for identifier_spec and symbol_spec.

        * glib.h: new functions g_slist_nth_data and g_list_nth_data to return
        the data of the nth element in the list.

Fri May 15 22:31:49 1998  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * gscanner.c (g_scanner_unexp_token): removed spurious va_end(args)
        that for some reason didn't produce a compiler wrning on my machine
        (is va_end undefined for i386?).

Fri May 15 12:32:08 1998  rodo  <doulik@karlin.mff.cuni.cz>

        * gscanner.c: replaced some snprintf with g_snprintf

Fri May 15 00:56:59 1998  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        G_GNUC_NORETURN and G_GNUC_CONST.

        * gscanner.c (g_scanner_stat_mode): changed stat() to lstat().
        (g_scanner_msg_handler): "\n" at end of line!
        (g_scanner_foreach_symbol): new function to iterate over the symbol
        table (GScanner does value-wrapping).

Thu May 14 04:14:12 1998  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * glib.h: typedef gint gboolean;
        this is needed to provide portability with big-endian platforms (e.g.
        try sizeof(bool) for c++ on big-endians - it's 4).
        this is also needed to maintain some_union.d_gint==some_union.d_gboolean.
        plus, gint to gboolean casts and vice versa need to be possible without
        loss.

Tue May 12 19:22:58 1998  Owen Taylor  <otaylor@gtk.org>

        * glib/glib.h: Added macros G[U]INT_TO_POINTER() and

        * glib/testglib.c: Print sizeof() results
        as g_print("%ld", (glong)sizeof(foo)), to deal with
        size_t being long on Alpha's.

Tue May 12 16:54:15 1998  Owen Taylor  <otaylor@gtk.org>
        (James A <jamesa@demon.net> : gtk-jamesa-980511-4.patch)
        
        * glib.h gstring.c gmessages.c: Added some missing
        const to arguments.

        * gutils.c (g_strsignal.c): Added missing return statements.

Mon May 11 21:11:54 1998  Owen Taylor  <otaylor@gtk.org>

        * gutils.c gmessages.c: Moved g_error, g_warning, g_message and
        g_print from gutils.c to new file gmessages.c, to avoid having to
        include <unistd.h> in gutils.c which was causing problems for the
        g_strsignal implementation on FreeBSD boxes.

Mon May 11 09:53:43 1998  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * configure.in: preserve automake CFLAGS.

        * Makefile.am: fully rename the created library to libglib-1.1.la.
        this means we need to change certain portions of the Makefile.am on
        major/minor version bumps.

        * ltmain.sh: the -release option is not required anymore.

        * glib.h: provide G_GNUC_FUNCTION and G_GNUC_PRETTY_FUNCTION to
        avoid conditionals. unconditionally define NULL, TRUE, FALSE, MAX,
        MIN, ABS and CLAMP, these macros might be screwed from other headers.

Mon May 11 01:44:10 1998  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * gdataset.c: new file, gdatasets implement the object data
        mechanism from GtkObject. a generic data pointer is associated with
        a certain location and a key id.

Sat May  9 20:08:12 1998  Owen Taylor  <otaylor@gtk.org>

        * glib/gmem.c: Experimentally restore GMemChunk
        to its primeval state - where mem areas are
        freed incrementally instead of searching the tree
        every time a mem area is completely empty. Also,
        always keep one mem chunk around. (Reduced calls
        to malloc() a lot, but doesn't really improve
        performance significiantly)

Thu May  7 08:17:28 1998  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * glib.h (G_GNUC_PRINTF):
        (G_GNUC_SCANF): macros to facilitate the printf/scanf format argument
        checking of gcc.

        * gstring.c: const corrections, string!=NULL checks at function entry.
        (g_string_down): new function for tolower(3) conversion.
        (g_string_up): new function for toupper(3) conversion.

        * gutils.c: const corrections.

        (g_strup): g_string_up() counterpart.

        * gscanner.c (g_scanner_unexp_token):
        (g_scanner_error):
        (g_scanner_warn): new functions to let a scanner put out warnings
        or errors, especially to react on unexpected tokens.

        * gslist.c:
        (g_slist_index): find out about about the position of a
        certain data pointer.
        (g_slist_position): find out about about the position of a
        certain node.

        * glist.c:
        (g_list_index): find out about about the position of a
        certain data pointer.

Thu May  7 05:14:19 1998  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * ltmain.sh: added a new commandline flag -postfix similar to -release,
        but will immediately change the library name.

        * Makefile.am: specify -postfix and -version-info

        * configure.in: version bump to 1.1.0. added GLIB_INTERFACE_AGE and
        GLIB_BINARY_AGE. calculate LT_* variables for libtool.

Fri May  1 16:36:08 1998  Owen Taylor  <otaylor@gtk.org>

        * gutils.c: (g_strcasecmp). Check for isupper before
        taking tolower, and account for macroized tolower.

        * gutils.c (g_error): Check for recursion.

1998-04-27  Elliot Lee  <sopwith@cuc.ml.org>

        * glist.c (g_list_position): New function to find the position of
        a link in a list - should be the inverse of g_list_nth(), but
        haven't tested it so poof.

Thu Apr 30 21:41:30 1998  Owen Taylor  <otaylor@gtk.org>

        * gstring.c : Check arguments more carefully, 
        (gtk-draco-980423-1.patch; ramsey@rhrk.uni-kl.de) 

Tue Apr  7 19:36:48 1998  Owen Taylor  <owt1@cornell.edu>

        * gutils.c (g_direct_compare): Removed, because that's what
        a NULL comparison function means. And it wasn't 64 bit safe.

Mon Apr  6 18:43:25 1998  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * gscanner.c (g_scanner_get_token_ll): fixed a bug that caused floats
        of the format ".xxx" to be parsed as "xxx".

Fri Apr  3 20:36:35 1998  Owen Taylor  <owt1@cornell.edu>

        * gutils.c (g_parse_debug_string): Make debug string

        free symbol table entries upon destruction
        (gtk-gronlund-980309-0.patch.gz).

Mon Mar  9 15:02:21 1998  Tim Janik  <timj@gimp.org>

        * glib.h: changed *_length functions to return guint.

        * gutils.c (g_strerror): changed message for EAGAIN from
        "no more processes" to "try again" since EAGAIN is used with

        general purpose.
        * glib_pre2.h: added GScanner includes. added g_strconcat and g_strtod.
        gutils.c (g_strconcat): new function for string concatenation of NULL
        terminated parameter list.
        (g_strtod): new function to perform best string to double conversion
        with or without consideration of the current locale.

        * glist.c: minor optimizations:
        (g_list_append): `if' optimized for common code path, commented out
        unneccessary `assert', saved one variable assignment.
        (g_list_prepend): saved two (conditioned) variable assignment.
        (g_list_insert): saved one  (conditioned) variable assignment,
        saved one variable assignment.
        (g_list_remove): `if' optimized for common code path, saved two
        variable assignments by using `g_list_free_1' (which is even
        faster) instead of `g_list_free'.
        (g_list_reverse): saved allocation of one variable, saved one
        variable assignment.

        * glib_pre1.h: 
        * glib_pre2.h: 
        * glib.h: this file now gets concatenated by makeglib_h from
        glib_pre1.h and glib_pre2.h to merge in glibconfig.h wich got
        created by configure (done by Jay Painter).

        * glib_pre2.h: the g_assert*() and g_return_*_fail() macros
        are wrapped by G_STMT_START and G_STMT_END now, to avoid conflicts
        when used within if (...) g_macro(); else ... conditionals.

        * glib.h: Changed 'g_return_if_fail' and 'g_return_val_if_fail' to
        not call 'g_string' but to simply stringify the
        expression. Calling 'g_string' causes the expression to be
        expanded which is undesired.
