12 (#141159, Michael Wilson)
14 2004-03-31 Tor Lillqvist <tml@iki.fi>
16 * gmodule-win32.c (_g_module_build_path): On Cygwin, use the "cyg"

19 Tue Feb 24 14:09:21 2004 Owen Taylor <otaylor@redhat.com>
21 * === Released 2.3.3 ===

31 2003-01-01 Tor Lillqvist <tml@iki.fi>
33 * gmodule-win32.c (_g_module_build_path): Use g_ascii_strcasecmp().
35 Tue Dec 3 20:56:19 2002 Owen Taylor <otaylor@redhat.com>
37 * gmodule.c (g_module_open): Properly refcount the
38 main module if it is already open. (#98648)
40 Sat Mar 2 14:46:17 2002 Owen Taylor <otaylor@redhat.com>
42 * gmodule-beos.c (_g_module_build_path) * gmodule-dyld.c (_g_module_build_path)
43 gmodule-dl.c (_g_module_build_path): Use G_MODULE_SUFFIX rather than
44 a hardcoded ".so". (#72803)
46 Sun Feb 17 18:15:22 2002 Owen Taylor <otaylor@redhat.com>
48 * gmodule.c (g_module_open): Fix typo when checking
49 if file + module_suffix exists. (Miroslaw Dobrzanski-Neumann,
52 2001-11-24 Tor Lillqvist <tml@iki.fi>
54 * Makefile.am: Remove rule for testgmodule.exp, too.
56 2001-11-22 Tor Lillqvist <tml@iki.fi>
58 * gmodule-win32.c: Current w32api headers do include tlhelp32.h,
59 so no need to have an extract from it here.
61 Mon Nov 19 16:12:12 2001 Owen Taylor <otaylor@redhat.com>
63 * Makefile.am makefile.msc.in makefile.mingw.in: Remove
64 testgmodule and associated plugin files; we don't need _both_ this
65 and ../tests/module-test.c
67 2001-11-16 Michael Meeks <michael@ximian.com>
69 * gmodule.c (parse_libtool_archive): fix leak.
71 2001-10-30 Dan Winship <danw@ximian.com>
73 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add gmodule-dyld.c
75 2001-10-23 Tor Lillqvist <tml@iki.fi>
77 * Makefile.am: (Win32): If we have built the MSVC import library,
78 install it. Install the gcc import library. Also support
81 2001-10-09 Tor Lillqvist <tml@iki.fi>
83 * gmodule-win32.c (_g_module_build_path): More Unix compatibility:
84 Add "lib" prefix in case the module name doesn't already have it,
85 except if it ends with ".dll" (in which case it probably already
86 is the name of an existing DLL). This is needed for instance for
87 the gdk-pixbuf loaders, which are called "lib*.dll", but
88 gdk-pixbuf-io calls g_module_build_path without the "lib" prefix.
90 2001-10-03 jacob berkman <jacob@ximian.com>
92 * libgplugin_a.c: (gplugin_a_module_func):
93 * gmodule.h: s/retrive/retrieve/
95 2001-09-25 Tor Lillqvist <tml@iki.fi>
97 * makefile.mingw.in: Fix missing end @ in @LT_CURRENT@.
99 * makefile.msc.in: Use same DLL and import library names as
102 2001-09-19 Tor Lillqvist <tml@iki.fi>
104 * gmodule.rc.in: Correct InternalName and OriginalFilename to
105 match what we actually produce.
107 2001-09-18 Tor Lillqvist <tml@iki.fi>
109 * Makefile.am: On Win32, pass a dummy -rpath flag to libtool when
110 building libgplugin_[ab].la, otherwise libtool doesn't create a
111 DLL, but a static archive.
113 2001-07-20 Hans Breuer <hans@breuer.org>
115 * makefile.msc.in : reflect glib move
117 2001-05-21 Mark Murnane <Mark.Murnane@ireland.sun.com>
119 * gmodule.c (g_str_check_suffix): Modified type of string_len
120 and suffix_len to be gsize. Properly accommodates return from
123 2001-05-29 Sebastian Wilhelmi <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>
125 * gmodule.c (g_module_set_error_unduped): Do not g_strdup, as
126 promised in the function name.
128 Tue May 29 12:57:51 2001 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
130 * gmodule.c (g_module_symbol): erk, strconcat needs NULL as last arg.
131 make sure we pass module name with suffix into backend open.
133 Mon May 28 20:19:25 2001 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
135 * gmodule.c (g_module_open): as a last resort, if we can't access()
136 the module, leave it up to the platform backends to find it.
137 (fixes implicit search patch loading i broke with my last
138 commit, spotted by Padraig O'Briain).
140 Thu May 24 03:43:12 2001 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
142 * gmodule.c (g_module_open): reordered code so we have a single
143 module loading point (for reliable error messages). do access()
144 tests to figure plausible file names.
145 make error messages more verbose so users canfigure what's going on.
147 2001-04-20 Dan Winship <danw@ximian.com>
149 * gmodule-dyld.c: gmodule implementation for Darwin/Mac OS X
152 * gmoduleconf.h.in: Add gmodule-dyld support
154 * testgmodule.c (main): Fix spelling
156 2001-03-13 Tor Lillqvist <tml@iki.fi>
158 From Edward M. Lee <tailbert@yahoo.com>:
160 * gmodule-win32.c (_g_module_build_path): use (cygwin friendly) dir
163 2001-03-12 Tor Lillqvist <tml@iki.fi>
165 * Makefile.am (libgplugin_a_la_LIBADD, libgplugin_b_la_LIBADD):
166 Link with the libgmodule la only on Win32.
168 2001-03-10 Tor Lillqvist <tml@iki.fi>
170 * Makefile.am: Use the _LIBADD dependency on libglib only on the
171 Win32 platform (including Cygwin).
173 2001-03-07 Sebastian Wilhelmi <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>
175 * Makefile.am, makefile.mingw.in, makefile.msc.in: Set
176 G_LOG_DOMAIN to \"GModule\" instead of g_log_domain_gmodule.
178 * gmodule.def, gmodule.h, gmodule.c: Removed g_log_domain_gmodule.
180 2001-02-21 Tor Lillqvist <tml@iki.fi>
182 * gmodule.h: Use G_BEGIN_DECLS and G_END_DECLS. Define
183 G_MODULE_EXPORT correctly on Cygwin, too.
185 * gmodule-win32.c (_g_module_open): Convert path to Windows format
188 * Makefile.am (libglib): Use libglib-1.3.la from
189 top_builddir. Invoke libtool with -no-undefined for Win32 and
192 2001-02-17 Havoc Pennington <hp@pobox.com>
194 Applied patch from Soeren Sandmann:
196 * gmodule.c (g_module_error): G_CONST_RETURN
197 (g_module_name): G_CONST_RETURN
199 Sat Feb 17 07:27:15 2001 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
201 * gmodule.c: work around platforms that have broken RTLD_GLOBAL.
203 2001-01-27 Tor Lillqvist <tml@iki.fi>
205 * gmodule.c: (Win32) Need <io.h> for open() and close().
207 2000-12-22 Sebastian Wilhelmi <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>
209 * gmodule.c: Make g_module_open more tolerant wrt to the module
210 name. First it tries to open the module as named, if that fails,
211 it checks, whether it is a libtool archive and parses it, if that
212 fails it appends the systems shared library suffix
213 (i.e. ".so") (if not already found) and tries again and if that
214 fails it tries to append the ".la" libtool suffix (if not already
215 found) and parses it.
217 * gmodule.c: Lock recursive mutex during most module functions for
220 * gmodule-dl.c: Return an error from _g_module_symbol only, if
221 dlerror says so. All other functions return an error as well, if
222 dlerror returns NULL.
224 * testgmodule.c: Thanks to the above change the #ifdefs have
227 2000-10-15 Raja R Harinath <harinath@cs.umn.edu>
229 * Makefile.am (BUILT_EXTRA_DIST): New variable.
230 (dist-hook): Handle $(BUILT_EXTRA_DIST).
232 2000-09-28 Sebastian Wilhelmi <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>
234 * gmodule.h: Moved declaration of g_log_domain_gmodule up before
235 the inclusion of glib.h to make it compile on non-gcc compilers.
237 2000-07-22 Tor Lillqvist <tml@iki.fi>
239 * makefile.mingw.in: Remove leftover gmodule-win32res.o stuff. The
240 build-dll script automagically handles resources.
242 2000-07-20 Sebastian Wilhelmi <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>
244 * libgplugin_a.c, testgmodule.c: Use g_path_get_basename instead
245 of the deprecated g_basename.
247 2000-07-19 Sebastian Wilhelmi <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>
249 * gmodule.h: include glib.h before doing extern "C". Makes some C++
250 compiler happy. Reported by Denis Vakatov
251 <vakatov@peony.nlm.nih.gov>.
253 2000-07-19 Tor Lillqvist <tml@iki.fi>
255 * gmodule-win32.c: Don't #include <tlhelp32.h> when compiling with
256 gcc, as it isn't provided. Declaration of a needed struct (from
257 www.microsoft.com) inserted instead.
259 2000-05-13 Tor Lillqvist <tml@iki.fi>
261 * makefile.mingw.in: New file, with gmodule stuff
262 moved from ../makefile.mingw.in.
264 * Makefile.am: Add to EXTRA_DIST, and add rule to make makefile.mingw.
266 2000-05-02 Tor Lillqvist <tml@iki.fi>
268 * gmodule-win32.c: No need to include <psapi.h>
270 2000-03-23 Tor Lillqvist <tml@iki.fi>
272 * gmodule-win32.c (_g_module_symbol): When looking for symbols in
273 the "main" module we must search both the main program and all
274 currently loaded DLLs. Not only the main program, or even just the
275 DLLs loaded as gmodules. Libglade requires this.
277 Thus we need to get a list of all modules in the current
278 process. There are two alternative APIs to do this: PSAPI and
279 Toolhelp. The former is only available on NT (including Win2k),
280 the latter on Win9x and Win2k. Check which one works, and use
283 First check for the symbol in the main program, and if not found
284 there, in all the modules.
286 Code for using PSAPI and Toolhelp was borrowed from the Dr. Mingw
287 tool written by José Fonseca <em96115@fe.up.pt>. Thanks.
289 2000-03-04 Tor Lillqvist <tml@iki.fi>
291 * gmodule-win32.c: Call g_win32_error_message() to get the error
296 * gmodule.c: Remove LibMain functions that were needed by LCC,
297 which is not a supported compiler.
299 * testgmodule.c (main): Test for G_MODULE_IMPL ==
300 G_MODULE_IMPL_WIN32, not G_OS_WIN32.
302 * gmoduleconf.h.win32: Remove LCC stuff from here, too.
304 Wed Mar 1 05:34:47 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
306 * gmodule-beos.c (_g_module_symbol): do not return NULL symbols.
308 * gmodule-os2.c: removed NetBSD specific defines.
309 (_g_module_self): set an error message for unsupported behaviour.
311 * gmodule-beos.c: many coding style fixups.
315 (_g_module_symbol): bunch of memory leaks plugged.
317 * gmodule-dl.c: make sure the error message returned from dlerror()
318 is always != NULL, by using a wrapper function fetch_dlerror(). based
319 on a patch to fix _g_module_symbol() for NetBSD from Scott Presnell
322 * gmodule-dld.c: minor indentation.
324 * gmodule-win32.c: minor cleanups.
326 * merges from glib-1-2.
328 Sat Feb 19 19:43:29 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
330 * testgmodule.c (main): added test to check that not yet bound symbols
331 in shared libraries of the main module are retrievable, from David Gero.
333 2000-01-13 Martin Baulig <martin@home-of-linux.org>
335 * gmodule.c (g_module_open): Check whether `check_init' is not NULL
336 before we attempt to call it.
338 Sun Oct 3 19:30:52 PDT 1999 Manish Singh <yosh@gimp.org>
341 * testgmodule.c: use G_OS stuff
343 Sat Jul 24 20:47:18 1999 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
345 * merged changes from GLib-1-2 branch.
347 1999-05-06 Tor Lillqvist <tml@iki.fi>
349 * gmodule.c: Remove LibMain.
351 Sat May 1 10:58:57 PDT 1999 Manish Singh <yosh@gimp.org>
353 * Makefile.am: use -avoid-version and -module for test plugins
355 Mon Apr 19 08:43:59 1999 ape@lrdpf.spacetec.no (Asbjorn Pettersen)
357 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add gmodule-os2.c
359 Wed Apr 7 20:12:58 1999 ape@lrdpf.spacetec.no (Asbjorn Pettersen)
361 * gmodule-os2.c: OS/2 specific file for gmodule.
362 * gmodule.c (_g_module_open): Add gmodule-os2.c if G_MODULE_IMPL_OS2.
363 * gmoduleconf.h.in: Add G_MODULE_IMPL_OS2.
365 Fri Apr 23 09:03:48 1999 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
367 * gmodule.c (g_module_symbol): removed inline variable assignment.
368 s/CHECK_ERROR/SUPPORT_OR_RETURN/ to make the code more self descriptive.
370 Wed Feb 10 12:06:30 1999 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
372 * gmodule.c (CHECK_ERROR): be more descriptive on unsupported systems.
374 Wed Feb 10 07:56:33 1999 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
376 * gmodule.c (g_module_error): fixed errernerous code wrt to thread
377 specific error string allocation handling.
379 Thu Jan 21 12:40:11 EST 1999 Jeff Garzik <jgarzik@pobox.com>
381 * gmodule-dl.c (_g_module_build_path):
382 Add braces to eliminate an ambiguous else warning.
384 1999-01-16 Tor Lillqvist <tml@iki.fi>
386 * gmodule-dl.c gmodule-dld.c: In
387 _g_module_build_path, don't add the "lib" prefix and
388 ".so" or ".sl" suffix if already there.
390 * gmodule-win32.c: Likewise for the ".dll" suffix.
392 1998-12-10 Sebastian Wilhelmi <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>
394 * gmodule.c: Made it MT safe, the g_module_error() is now thread
397 Fri Nov 20 14:43:44 1998 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
399 * gmodule.c (_g_module_build_path): added empty default imlementation
400 so gmodule.so compiles on systems that are not yet supported, fix from
401 Erik Bagfors <bagfors@hpc2n.umu.se>.
403 1998-11-13 Nuno Ferreira <nmrf@rnl.ist.utl.pt>
405 * Makefile.am (INCLUDES): The previous commit message is wrong
406 about the -I$(top_srcdir) being redundant. I put it back.
408 Wed Nov 11 23:23:22 EST 1998 Jeff Garzik <jgarzik@pobox.com>
410 * Makefile.am : INCLUDES is the right way to add to CFLAGS, not
411 DEFS. Also there are bugs with '+=' in makefiles.
412 Got rid of DEFS line by moving G_LOG_DOMAIN setting into INCLUDES.
413 Removed redundant -I from INCLUDES.
415 Tue Oct 27 04:00:11 1998 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
417 * testgmodule.c (main): changed the #ifdef WIN32 test to NATIVE_WIN32,
418 this needs to be more constistent throughout the code, do we go for
419 NATIVE_WIN32 or WIN32?
421 * gmodule.c (LibMain): special cased the #ifdef __LCC__ case for
422 NATIVE_WIN32, since lcc maybe used on other platforms as well.
423 * libgplugin_a.c (LibMain):
424 * libgplugin_b.c (LibMain):
425 likewise. not sure i like this special requirement for lcc in here.
427 * gmodule-dl.c (_g_module_build_path):
428 feature empty "" directories and prepend the module name with "lib".
430 * gmodule-dld.c (_g_module_build_path):
431 * gmodule-win32.c (_g_module_build_path):
432 feature empty "" directories.
434 * we need some more magic in the _g_module_build_path variants
435 so we don't append/prepend lib and .so, .sl or .dll for those names
436 that already contain it.
438 * applied patch from Tor Lillqvist for g_module_build_path() and
441 1998-10-20: Tor Lillqvist <tml@iki.fi>
443 * gmodule/gmodule-win32.c:
446 * gmodule/gmodule.c gmodule/gmodule.h:
447 Added the funcion g_module_build_path that builds the path to
448 a module file, decorating the name according to the system's
449 conventions. Added the Windows implementation.
451 * gmodule/libgplugin_a.c gmodule/libgplugin_b.c:
452 Added LibMain for LCC-Win32.
454 * gmodule/testgmodule.c:
455 Handle Windows dll names.
457 1998-10-25 Raja R Harinath <harinath@cs.umn.edu>
459 * gmodule.h: Remove `#pragma }'.
460 * gmoduleconf.h.in: Likewise.
462 Wed Oct 21 19:58:27 1998 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
464 * gmodule.c (g_module_symbol): fixed a string pointer bug that could
465 cause garbage error messages from g_module_symbol() for systems that
468 Mon Sep 21 01:54:48 1998 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
471 * gmodule.c: renamed old _de_init functionality to _unload.
472 modules are now expected to export:
473 G_MODULE_EXPORT const gchar* g_module_check_init (GModule *module);
475 G_MODULE_EXPORT void g_module_unload (GModule *module);
476 returning a string other than NULL from g_module_check_init() will
477 prevent the module from being loaded. a call to g_module_make_resident()
478 from g_module_unload() will prevent the module from being unloaded and
479 still make it resident.
481 Thu Sep 17 06:34:22 1998 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
484 * gmodule.c: implemented g_module_make_resident() which can be
485 used to make modules resident.
486 fixed a buglet about the optional "g_module_de_init" function in
487 modules, which could get invoked twice on very obscure occasions.
489 Tue Sep 15 14:57:30 1998 Owen Taylor <otaylor@redhat.com>
491 * Makefile.am: Update to libtool-1.2b,
492 change library versioning scheme to drop LT_RELEASE
493 from the -l line, while keeping it in the soname.
495 Thu Aug 20 07:08:16 1998 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
497 * gmodule.c: provide no operation implementation for the underlying
498 _g_module_* functions, so we at least compile on systems that have
499 neither of G_MODULE_IMPL_DL or G_MODULE_IMPL_DLD.
501 Mon Aug 17 03:41:52 1998 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
504 * gmodule.c (g_module_open): changed the return type for the
505 GModuleCheckInit function to be a string, describing the error
507 (g_module_symbol): show the failing symbol on error messages.
509 Fri Aug 14 02:24:39 1998 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
511 * Makefile.am: feature the G_LOG_DOMAIN macro to set the log domain
512 to "GModule" upon compilation. we currently have to add this definition
513 to the DEFS variable.
514 * testgmodule.c: we need an ugly #undef G_LOG_DOMAIN at the start
515 of this file currently, since automake doesn't support per target
518 Mon Aug 10 03:35:57 1998 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
520 * gmodule.c: minor changes to internal interface.
522 * gmodule-dld.c: put some comments into the files, and provided
523 better error checking for shl_findsym(). whish i had a system to
526 Mon Aug 10 02:18:31 1998 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
528 * Makefile.am (lib_LTLIBRARIES): for now, skip the dependency on
529 -lglib for libgmodule-1.1.la, libgplugin_a.la and libgplugin_b.la
530 since this clashes with inter-library-dependencies for not installed
531 libraries. glib-config takes care of this for the usuall case, but
532 there needs to be a better way...
534 Sun Aug 9 15:57:38 1998 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
536 * testgmodule.c: test program for GModule.
538 * libgplugin_b.c: test plugins for testgmodule.c.
541 * gmodule.c: GModule library implementation, which is basically
542 a wrapper about system specifc dynamic loading facilities.
544 Sun Aug 9 10:31:05 1998 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
546 * ChangeLog start for gmodule.
