[platform/upstream/glib.git] / gobject / ChangeLog

Wed Nov 29 13:30:05 2000  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * gsignal.c (handlers_find): fix elliots "logic fix" that dereferences
        NULL nodes if C handlers are searched for specific signals.

2000-11-28  Elliot Lee  <sopwith@redhat.com>

        * gsignal.c: Fix warnings about possible use of uninitialized
        variables, and fix logic that would leave 'node' unset in cases
        that it might be used in.

        * glib-genmarshal.c: Fix warning about printf format.

2000-11-28  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@iki.fi>

        * gboxed.c: Include <string.h> for memset ().

2000-11-22  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@iki.fi>

        * gobject.def: Update.

2000-11-20  Havoc Pennington  <hp@redhat.com>

        * gobject.c (g_object_get_data)
        (g_object_set_data)
        (g_object_set_data_full)
        (g_object_steal_data): More convenient data-setting functions

Wed Nov 15 20:58:05 2000  Owen Taylor  <otaylor@redhat.com>

        * gtypemodule.c (g_type_module_use): If loading the
        module fails, don't increment the use count.

Thu Nov  9 01:49:43 2000  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * gobject.h (G_WARN_INVALID_PARAM_ID): doh,
        s/BSE_OBJECT_TYPE_NAME/G_OBJECT_TYPE_NAME/; reported by Maas-Maarten
        Zeeman <maas@wanadoo.nl>.

Mon Nov 13 00:48:39 2000  Owen Taylor  <otaylor@redhat.com>

        * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add glib-genmarshal.1

2000-11-11  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@iki.fi>

        * gtypemodule.c: Include stdlib.h for exit().

        * makefile.{mingw,msc}.in (gobject_OBJECTS): Add gtypemodule.

        * gobject.def: Add missing functions.

Sun Nov  5 13:21:28 2000  Owen Taylor  <otaylor@redhat.com>

        * Makefile.am gtypemodule.[ch]: New basic implementation of
        GTypePlugin interface as a GObject. Dynamically loaded modules can
        register any number of types and interface on the module.

Sun Nov  5 10:25:40 2000  Owen Taylor  <otaylor@redhat.com>

        * gsignal.c (handlers_find): When appending handlers and
        not matching on signal_id, use hlist->signal_id instead of 
        signal_id. Having the correct signal_id when unreffing
        the handlers makes things work a lot better.

2000-11-05  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@iki.fi>

        * makefile.{mingw,msc}.in (gobject_OBJECTS): Add gtypeplugin.

        * gobject.def: Update.

Sun Nov  5 05:22:55 2000  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * gsignal.c:
        fixed a bag full of subtle bugs of immensive screw-up potential in
        handlers_find(), luckily no one found out about them yet ;)
        fixed signal_handlers_foreach_matched_R() so it operates on an
        initial handler list snapshot provided by handlers_find() to work
        around general reentrancy problems and to avoid multiple callback()
        invocations on the same handlers.
        this code is now officially 80% bug free (10% remaining for interface
        types, and 10% remaining for destroyed signals ;)
        
Sat Nov  4 02:01:33 2000  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * gsignal.c (_g_signals_destroy): valid signal nodes start out at 1.

        * gtypeplugin.[hc]: new files holding a GTypePlugin interface
        implementation that provides the API required by GType to deal with
        dynamically loadable types.

        * gtype.[hc]: displace any GTypePlugin business to gtypeplugin.h.

Fri Nov  3 07:35:00 2000  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * gsignal.[hc]: prefix internal functions with '_'. renamed
        g_signal_connect_closure() to g_signal_connect_closure_by_id().
        added g_signal_parse_name() to retrive signal_id and detail quark
        from a signal name (internal).

Wed Nov  1 03:36:54 2000  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * gobject.c (g_object_base_class_finalize): destroy all signals that
        the finalized obejct type introduced.

        * gsignal.c (g_signals_destroy): don't require itype to have
        signals.

        * gobject.c (g_object_do_finalize): make sure all signal handlers
        are destroyed.

        * gsignal.[hc]:
        (g_signal_handler_find): only match on non-0 masks.
        (g_signal_handlers_block_matched):
        (g_signal_handlers_unblock_matched):
        (g_signal_handlers_disconnect_matched): new functions to block/unblock
        or disconnect handlers in groups.

2000-10-30  Sebastian Wilhelmi  <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>

        * gvalue.c (exchange_entries_equal), gparam.c (param_spec_equals):
        made both functions return gboolean just for the little extra
        standard conformance now that GEqualFunc is introduced.

Mon Oct 30 05:52:45 2000  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * gsignal.c (g_signal_list_ids): get rid of inline documentation owen
        added, the doc system would ignore it anyways (for some reason not
        aparent to me).

Mon Oct 30 03:00:07 2000  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * gsignal.[hc] (g_signal_list_ids): renamed owen's g_type_signals(),
        added required mutex locks.

Sun Oct 29 02:31:03 2000  Owen Taylor  <otaylor@redhat.com>

        * gsignal.c (g_type_signals): Fix problem where signals
        with "_" in them appeared twice in the result array.

Sun Oct 29 01:58:44 2000  Owen Taylor  <otaylor@redhat.com>

        * gsignal.h: Add g_type_signals() - a function to list
        all signals for a given type.

Sat Oct 28 00:28:09 2000  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * gclosure.c (g_closure_add_marshal_guards): fixed notifier position
        for post_marshal guard which was off at 0.

Fri Oct 27 21:49:31 2000  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * gobject.[hc]: doh, fix argument order in for
        g_cclosure_new_object_swap and g_cclosure_new_object.

2000-10-28  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@iki.fi>

        * makefile.{mingw,msc}.in: Make glib-genmarshal.exe.

        * glib-genmarshal.c: Conditionalise include of unistd.h.
        Include <io.h> on Win32.

        * gobject.def: Add some missing entry points.

Fri Oct 27 16:33:41 2000  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * gsignal.[hc]: publically define GSignalInvocationHint structure
        that gets passed in to closure invocations. added signal details.
        renamed GSignalType to GSignalFlags to comply with conventions.
        quite some cleanups and minor fixes. avoid uneccessary handler list
        walks upon invokation of after handlers. relookup handler list for
        restarted emissions. preliminary abort normal handler invokation if
        after handler is encountered.

        * glib-genmarshal.c:
        * gclosure.[hc]: moved invocation_hint to the end of the
        g_closure_invoke() arguments as sugegsted by kenelson.
        also made it a gpointer to be more generic. the invocation_hint
        is a caller specific thing that can be used to pass additional
        data in to closure invocations as documented with the caller
        invoking the closure.

Fri Oct 27 05:35:14 2000  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * gobject.c (g_object_watch_closure): fixed realloc bug, reported
        by havoc.

        * gsignal.c (g_signal_newv): fixed deadlock scenarion where
        g_signal_lookup() would be called with the signal lock being
        held. reported by james henstridge.

        * gclosure.c (g_closure_set_meta_marshal): fixed memcpy/overwrite bug
        reported by owen.

2000-10-26  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@iki.fi>

        * gbsearcharray.c (bsearch_array_insert): Fix gccisms (pointer
        arithmetic on void pointer, label without statement following.

        * gtype.c (type_node_fundamental_info): Don't apply unary minus to
        result of sizeof operator, it can be unsigned. Cast first to
        gssize.

        * gobject.def: Add new functions.

        * makefile.{mingw,msc}.in: Add new objects.

2000-10-26  Sebastian Wilhelmi  <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>

        * Makefile.am: Remove empty SUBDIRS line _again_, as that _still_
        prevents 'make dist' from working.

Wed Oct 25 19:11:03 2000  Owen Taylor  <otaylor@redhat.com>

        * gbsearcharray.h (g_bsearch_array_get_nth): Don't use implicit
        casts from void * since this will get included from C++ too
        at times.
        
Thu Oct 26 00:30:27 2000  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * gvaluetypes.[hc]: added g_value_set_static_string().

        * gboxed.[hc]: const corrections. added g_value_set_static_boxed().

Wed Oct 25 20:27:02 2000  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * gtype.c (g_type_free_instance): for the moment, freeing object
        structures will fill their memory portion with 0xAA. there's a
        FIXME there, remove this line at a later point.

Tue Oct 24 23:10:26 2000  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * glib-genmarshal.1:
        * glib-genmarshal.c: added publically installed marshaller generator.

        * gtype.h: added G_TYPE_INSTANCE_GET_INTERFACE() to retrive a certain
        interface VTable from instances.

Mon Oct 23 08:28:15 2000  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * gobject.[hc]: new functions for closure maintenance:
        (g_object_watch_closure): maintain validity of the object and
        the closure for objects that are used as data part of a closure.
        (g_cclosure_new_object): convenience function to create C closures
        that have an object as data argument.
        (g_closure_new_object): convenience function to create closures
        that have an object as data argument.

        * gclosure.[hc]: implementation of GClosure mechanism.
        a closure is basically an encapsulation of a callback function
        and its environment. ideally, most places supporting callback
        functions will simply take a GClosure* pointer and thus unify
        callback environments wrg destroy notification etc.
        GClosure provides destroy notifiers for arbitrary data pointers,
        reference counting, invalidation notification (it can be invalidated
        which is merely a deactivate state) and a marshallinbg abstraction.
        GCClosure is also provided in these files, they present a specialized
        GClosure implementation for C language callbacks.

        * genum.c: macro cleanups.
        
        * gboxed.[hc]: new files, for boxed type abstraction.
        (g_boxed_copy): copy a boxed structure
        (g_boxed_free): free a boxed structure
        (g_value_set_boxed):
        (g_value_get_boxed): standard GValue functions for boxed types
        (g_boxed_type_register_static): convenience function for easy
        introduction of new G_TYPE_BOXED derivatives.

        * gparam.[hc]: introduced g_param_type_register_static(), a short hand
        for creation of new GParamSpec derived types.

        * gtype.[hc]: many fixes, introduced ability to flag individual
        type nodes as ABSTRACT upon registration, added value_peek_pointer()
        to the value table to peek at GValue contents as a pointer for types
        that support this. fixed up GValue checks.

        * gvalue.[hc]: added g_value_fits_pointer() and g_value_get_as_pointer()
        to peek at the value contents as pointer.

        * *.[hc]: adaptions to type macro fixes and changes in the type
        registration API.

        * many const corrections over the place.

Sat Oct 21 02:49:56 2000  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * gtype.c (g_type_conforms_to): this function basically behaves like
        and is_a check, except that it _additionally_ features interfaces
        for instantiatable types. enforce this in the second branch as well
        (`type' conforms_to `type') even if `type' is not an interface type.

Fri Oct 20 15:31:04 2000  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * gvaluetypes.[hc]: added G_TYPE_POINTER implementation from jrb.

        * gtype.[hc]:
        * gobject.c:
        * gvaluetypes.c: added GTypeValueTable.value_peek_pointer and
        suitable implementations of this for G_TYPE_STRING, G_TYPE_OBJECT
        and G_TYPE_POINTER.

Mon Aug 21 04:13:37 2000  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * gbsearcharray.[hc]: long standing needed generic implementation
        of a binary searchable, sorted and dynamically sized array.

2000-10-15  Raja R Harinath  <harinath@cs.umn.edu>

        * Makefile.am (BUILT_EXTRA_DIST): New variable.
        (dist-hook): Handle $(BUILT_EXTRA_DIST).
        (*): Remove traces of @STRIP_{BEGIN,END}@.
        
2000-09-29  Martin Baulig  <baulig@suse.de>
        
        Several minor ANSI C fixes.

        Added missing casts:
        * gtype.c (type_class_init): 
        `(gpointer) bnode->data->class.class_init_base'
        in call to g_slist_prepend() and
        'GBaseInitFunc class_init_base = (GBaseInitFunc) slist->data'.

        * gobject.c: Put text following #endif into comments.

2000-09-25  Sebastian Wilhelmi  <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>

        * Makefile.am: Remove empty SUBDIRS line, as that prevents make
        dist from working.

Sat Sep  9 20:04:13 2000  Owen Taylor  <otaylor@redhat.com>

        * gobject.c (g_object_last_unref): Move call to
        g_type_free_instance() here from g_object_do_finalize,
        since g_type_free_instance() can unload the object's
        implementation.

2000-07-27  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@iki.fi>

        * gobject.c: No, don't mark glib_debug_objects for export here,
        it's handled specially in gtktypeutils.c.

        * gobject.def: Export g_type_fundamental_last (the function).

2000-07-26  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@iki.fi>

        * gobject.def
        * gobject.c: Mark glib_debug_objects for export/import as it is
        used by GTK+.

Sun Jul 23 17:23:35 2000  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * gtype.[hc]: make g_type_fundamental_last() a function, avoiding all
        that extern variable clutter and avoiding further problems with thread
        safety.

2000-07-19  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@iki.fi>

        * gparam.h
        * gvalue.h
        * gparam.c
        * gtype.c: Shut up Sun's picky compiler.

2000-07-14  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@iki.fi>

        * gobject.def: Add g_type_get_plugin.

Thu Jul 13 02:07:54 2000  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * gparam.c (g_param_value_defaults): default initialize the temporary
        default value, instead of nuking the caller's value contents.

2000-07-11  Raja R Harinath  <harinath@cs.umn.edu>

        * gtype.c (g_type_get_plugin): Don't return just 0 or 1.

Tue Jul 11 02:48:13 2000  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * gtype.[hc]: removed g_type_is_dynamic() and added g_type_get_plugin().

2000-07-10  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@iki.fi>

        * gobject-query.c: Include ../config.h for HAVE_UNISTD_H. Use it
        to guard inclusion of <unistd.h>.

        * gtype.h: Fix copy-paste errors in the ifdefs on how to declare a
        variable for export. Call the macro GOBJECT_VAR.

        * gtype.c: Declare _g_type_fundamental_last for export here, too.
        (type_node_any_new): Use only constant expressions for sizeof
        operator (for instance MSVC requires this).

        * makefile.mingw.in: Define GOBJECT_COMPILATION.

Sun Jul  9 21:21:46 2000  Owen Taylor  <otaylor@redhat.com>

        * genums.c: Move string.h include into the .c file
        instead of where it was in the .h file by mistake.

Thu Jul  6 15:30:27 2000  Owen Taylor  <otaylor@redhat.com>

        * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): dist fixes.

        * gobject.c: Add a global variable glib_debug_objects
        (not in header file) to control object tracing.

2000-07-01  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@iki.fi>

        * gobject.def: Update added and renamed entry points.

        * makefile.mingw.in: Add gvaluetypes.o.

Thu Jun 29 16:02:07 2000  Owen Taylor  <otaylor@redhat.com>

        * gobject.c:include string.h for memset
        * genums.h: include string.h for strcpy
        * gvalue.c: include string.h for memset, memcpy.

Sat Jun 24 23:03:04 2000  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * gtype.[hc]: provide G_TYPE_CHAR, G_TYPE_UCHAR, G_TYPE_BOOLEAN,
        G_TYPE_INT, G_TYPE_UINT, G_TYPE_LONG, G_TYPE_ULONG, G_TYPE_FLOAT,
        G_TYPE_DOUBLE and G_TYPE_STRING fundamental types.
        added a GTypeValueTable* pointer to GTypeInfo structure for types
        to implement GValue handling functions.
        GTypeValueTable contains the following members:
          value_init(): initialize a GValue structure.
          value_free(): free GValue structure contents (optional).
          value_copy(): copy one GValue contents to another GValue structure of
          collect_type: varargs collection type for the first variable argument
          to be collected by collect_value().
          collect_value(): variable arguments collection function (optional).
          lcopy_type: varargs collection type for the first variable argument
          to be location copyied by lcopy_value().
          lcopy_value(): variable arguments location copy function (optional).
        g_type_value_table_peek(): new function to retrive the GTypeValueTable*
        for a type node. ValueTables get inherited from parent types, unless
        overridden through the GTypeInfo structure. internally, GTypeValueTable
        support means an added overhead of one pointer per static or used
        dynamic type node.
        g_type_add_class_cache_func(): provide a cache_func/data pair to be
        called  prior to a type nodes last_unref() function, this can be used
        to prevent premature class destruction. multiple installed cache_func()
        will be chained upon last_unref() untill one of them returns TRUE.
        the cache_func()s have to check the class id passed in to figure whether
        they actually want to cache the class of this type (since all classes
        are routed through the cache_func() chain).
        g_type_remove_class_cache_func(): remove a previously installed
        cache_func/data pair. the cache maintained by this function has to be
        clear when calling g_type_remove_class_cache_func() to avoid leaks.
        g_type_class_unref_uncached(): class unref function for cache_func()
        implementations, unreferences a class omitting the cache chain (and
        therefore unref->cache->unref->... loops).

        * gvaluetypes.[hc]: provide the value setters/getters for the primitive
        fundamental types boolean, char, uchar, int, uint, long, ulong, float,
        double and string.

        * gvalue.[hc]: provide G_TYPE_IS_VALUE() in terms of whether a
        GTypeValueTable is provided for this type.
        removed g_value_init_default(), g_value_validate(), g_value_defaults(),
        g_value_set_default() and g_values_cmp() as these are supplied by the
        GParamSpec API now.
        moved g_values_exchange() into the "implementation details" section,
        since it just provides the underlying functionality for
        g_value_convert().

        * gvaluecollector.h: renamed the varargs value container from
        GParamCValue to GTypeCValue as the value collection methods are
        supplied by the type system now.
        G_PARAM_COLLECT_VALUE() and G_PARAM_LCOPY_VALUE() got renamed to
        G_VALUE_COLLECT() and G_VALUE_LCOPY() and operate without a
        GParamSpec structure now.

        * genums.h: macros cleanups/fixes.

        * genum.c: provide G_TYPE_ENUM and G_TYPE_FLAGS type
        and assorted g_value_{s|g}et_{enum|flags}() implementations.

        * gobject.[hc]:
        provide G_IS_VALUE_OBJECT(), G_TYPE_OBJECT ValueTable methods
        and g_value_{s|g}et_object().

        * gparam.[hc]: reduced class to value_set_default(),
        value_validate() and values_cmp(). also parameters now need to fill
        in a GType value_type; field to indicate the GValue type they
        are handling. provide g_param_value_set_default(),
        g_param_value_defaults(), g_param_value_validate() and
        g_param_values_cmp().

        * gparamspecs.[hc]: got rid of the g_value_* functions and
        the G_IS_VALUE_* macros. adapted param spec implementations
        according to the GParamSpecClass changes.

        * gtype.c (type_class_init): fetch the nth iface entry of the
        type node in the nth loop iteration, not alwys the first.
        bug discovered by Walt Pohl <cher@suitware.com>.
        (type_data_finalize_class_ifaces): same here, cut and paste
        rulez.

Wed Jun  7 09:21:05 2000  Owen Taylor  <otaylor@redhat.com>

        * Makefile.am (INCLUDES): Add top_builddir so glibconfig.h
        is found properly when build srcdir != builddir. (Patch from
        Eric Lemings)

2000-05-13  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@iki.fi>

        * makefile.mingw.in
        * gobject.def
        * gobject.rc.in: New files, for Win32 (mingw) build.

        * Makefile.am: Add to EXTRA_DIST. Add rules to produce the
        corresponding non-*.in files.

        * gtype.h: (Win32:) Mark _g_type_fundamental_last for
        export/import from DLL.

Fri May  5 01:15:48 2000  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * gtype.h: add reserved fundamental ids for gtk types (for transition
        time). added G_TYPE_FUNDAMENTAL_MAX for gtk.

Mon Apr 17 20:45:50 2000  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * glib-gobject.c (g_object_base_class_finalize): oops, don't unset
        n_params prior to destructing them.

Tue Apr 11 04:28:10 2000  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * fixed a couple of bugs in the initial parameter/object
        implementations, after getting beast running on GObject and GValue.

Fri Apr  7 04:27:49 2000  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * glib-gobject.[hc]: completed parameter set/get implementations,
        along with asyncronous parameter changed notification queue.

Sun Apr  2 04:54:36 2000  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * glib-gobject.[hc]: GObject implementation, that is facilities
        for setting/getting quarked data and reference counting.

        * glib-gparamspecs.[hc]: first actuall parameter implementations
        for GLib, so far we have: char, uchar, bool, int, uint, long,
        ulong, enum, flags, float, double, string and object. each of these
        GParamSpecs is a new instantiatable type in its own respect,
        so the .c file derives 13 new types from G_TYPE_PARAM and
        defines over 50 (*2) conversion facilities.

        * glib-gvaluecollector.h: generic varargs handling stubs for
        GParamSpecs, private header file (does get installed for
        inclusion into user code though).

        * glib-gvalue.[hc]: GValue functionality implementation.

        * glib-gparam.[hc]: basis GParamSpec implementation for
        the virtual base type G_TYPE_PARAM.

        * glib-genums.[hc]: enum/flags type implementation, based on
        bseenum.[hc].

        * glib-gtype.[hc]: GLib Type System implementation, heavily
        based on BSE's dynamic type system.
