1 Fri Mar 9 14:57:17 2001 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
3 * testgruntime.c: test program. covers run first/last/cleanup signal
4 handlers, return value accumulator, signal string returns, and
5 interface types in signal arguments.
7 * gtype.c (g_type_value_table_peek): for interface types without
8 value table, try looking up a value table from an instantiatable
9 prerequisite type (this is safe as an interface may only have
10 one instantiatable prerequisiste).
11 (type_check_is_value_type_U): same here.
13 * gsignal.c (g_signal_newv): assert that return types never have
14 G_SIGNAL_TYPE_STATIC_SCOPE set.
15 (g_signal_newc): only create class closure if the class_offset is not
18 Fri Mar 9 10:14:00 2001 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
20 * gparamspecs.c (g_param_spec_object): use g_type_is_a() to check
21 for object_type being a G_TYPE_OBJECT, not G_TYPE_IS_OBJECT(), since
22 that wouldn't allow interface types.
24 * gtype.c (g_type_interface_add_prerequisite): arg, fixed small cnp bug
25 with bad implications and an off-by-one error.
27 Thu Mar 8 16:34:22 2001 Owen Taylor <otaylor@redhat.com>
29 * gvaluetransform.c: Include <string.h> for memcpy.
31 * gvaluetransform.c (DEFINE_SPRINTF): Remove unnecessary
32 and ANSI-illegal ## token pasting.
34 Thu Mar 8 18:11:52 2001 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
36 * gsignal.c: eek, fixed old hook detail storage code.
38 Thu Mar 8 16:35:48 2001 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
40 * gparamspecs.[hc]: s/g_param_spec_string_c/g_param_spec_stringc/.
42 * gsignal.[hc]: fixed accumulator invocation, implemented emission
43 hooks. and no, neither of these callbacks are called via a closure,
44 language bindings can wrap the accumulator and emission hook
45 interface, they already get parameters marshalled into a GValue array.
46 (g_signal_connect): removed this function as its C specific, doesn't
47 cover the swapped argument, is too close to its broken original
48 gtk_signal_connect() and creates demand for _swapped, _after and
49 _swapped_after variants <brrr>.
50 (g_signal_connectc): convenience macro to connect a C handler
51 func with data, like the old g_signal_connect() plus swapped
55 * gboxed.c: added G_TYPE_VALUE boxed type.
57 Wed Mar 7 19:02:51 2001 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
59 * gtype.c (type_node_add_iface_entry_W): catch when adding an interface
60 to an ancestor of a child that already conforms to this interface.
61 currently we spew a warning here, should we be silent?
62 (g_type_interface_add_prerequisite): new function to add a prerequisite
63 type to an interface, that must succeed an instance is_a prerequisite
64 type check before the interface can be added to an instance. the
65 prerequisite types are also suuported in is_a checks of the interface.
66 (g_type_instance_is_a):
67 (g_type_check_instance_cast):
68 (g_type_check_instance): cleanups and optimizations.
70 (g_type_check_class_cast): same, also prevented these from accepting
71 interface types, as class structures don't nest interfaces.
73 2001-03-07 Sebastian Wilhelmi <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>
75 * Makefile.am: Avoid rebuilding everything everytime.
77 Wed Mar 7 09:36:33 2001 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
79 * gboxed.[hc]: changed prototype of g_boxed_type_register_static()
80 to contain an optional init function and a hint at whether the
81 boxed structure uses ref counting internally.
82 added g_value_set_boxed_take_ownership().
83 made G_TYPE_BOXED an abstract value type.
85 * genums.[hc]: made G_TYPE_ENUM and G_TYPE_FLAGS abstract value
88 * glib-genmarshal.c: argument type changes, preparation for third-party
91 * gobject.[hc]: cleaned up get/set property code.
92 added g_strdup_value_contents() to improve warnings.
94 * gparam.[hc]: added g_param_value_convert(), taking over responsibility
95 of the old g_value_convert(). added G_PARAM_LAX_VALIDATION flag so
96 validation alterations may be valid a part of the property setting
99 * gparamspecs.[hc]: made value comparisons stable (for sort applications).
100 added GParamSpecValueArray, a param spec for value arrays and
101 GParamSpecClosure. nuked the value exchange functions and
104 * gtype.[hc]: catch unintialized usages of the type system with
105 g_return_val_if_uninitialized(). introduced G_TYPE_FLAG_VALUE_ABSTRACT
106 to flag types that introduce a value table, but can't be used for
107 g_value_init(). cleaned up reserved type ids.
109 * gvalue.[hc]: code cleanups and saner checking.
110 nuked the value exchange API. implemented value transformations, we
111 can't really "convert" values, rather transforms are an anylogy to
112 C casts, real conversions need a param spec for validation, which is
113 why g_param_value_convert() does real conversions now.
115 * gvaluearray.[hc]: new files that implement a GValueArray, a struct
116 that can hold inhomogeneous arrays of value (to that extend that it
117 also allowes undefined values, i.e. G_VALUE_TYPE(value)==0).
118 this is exposed to the type system as a boxed type.
120 * gvaluetransform.c: new file implementing most of the former value
121 exchange functions as single-sided transformations.
123 * gvaluetypes.[hc]: nuked G_TYPE_CCALLBACK, added
124 g_value_set_string_take_ownership().
126 * *.h: s/G_IS_VALUE_/G_VALUE_HOLDS_/.
128 * *.[hc]: many fixes and cleanups.
130 * many warning improvements.
132 Tue Feb 27 18:35:15 2001 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
134 * gobject.c (g_object_get_valist): urg, pass G_VALUE_NOCOPY_CONTENTS
135 into G_VALUE_LCOPY(), this needs proper documenting.
137 * gparam.c: fixed G_PARAM_USER_MASK.
139 * gtype.c (type_data_make_W):
140 (type_data_last_unref_Wm): fixed invalid memory freeing.
142 * gobject.c (g_object_last_unref): destroy signal handlers associated
143 with object, right before finalization.
145 * gsignal.c (g_signal_parse_name): catch destroyed nodes or signals
146 that don't actually support details.
148 * gobject.[hc]: got rid of property trailers. nuked GObject
149 properties "data" and the "signal" variants.
150 (g_object_connect): new convenience function to do multiple
151 signal connections at once.
152 (g_object_disconnect): likewise, for disconnections.
154 * gparam.[hc] (g_param_spec_pool_lookup): took out trailer support.
156 * gvalue.[hc]: marked g_value_fits_pointer() and g_value_peek_pointer()
157 as private (the latter got renamed from g_value_get_as_pointer()).
159 2001-02-21 Tor Lillqvist <tml@iki.fi>
161 * *.h: Use G_BEGIN_DECLS and G_END_DECLS.
163 * Makefile.am: Use libglib-1.3.la from top_builddir. Invoke
164 libtool with -no-undefined for Win32 and Cygwin.
166 Wed Feb 21 18:31:46 2001 Jonathan Blandford <jrb@redhat.com>
168 * gsignal.h (g_signal_connect): Add g_signal_connect define to
169 make porting from gtk_signal_connect easy.
171 * gsignal.c (g_signal_emit_valist): Use G_TYPE_FROM_INSTANCE
172 (instance) instead of node->itype when initting the value.
174 2001-02-17 Havoc Pennington <hp@pobox.com>
176 Applied patch from Soeren Sandmann:
178 * gvaluetypes.c (g_value_get_string): G_CONST_RETURN
180 * gtype.c (g_type_name): G_CONST_RETURN
182 * gsignal.c (g_signal_name): G_CONST_RETURN
184 * gobject-query.c (main): const fix
186 Sat Feb 17 07:58:46 2001 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
188 * genums.h (G_TYPE_IS_FLAGS): patch from sven to fixup
189 G_ENUM_CLASS_TYPE() macro.
191 Sat Feb 17 04:55:35 2001 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
193 * gtype.[hc]: changed collect_format, collect_value() and lcopy_format,
194 lcopy_value() in the GTypeValueTable. the collect functions are now
195 called only once per value, collect_format/lcopy_format are strings
196 that enlist all necessary GTypeCValues to be varargs-collected.
198 * gvalue.h: ranamed STATIC_TAG to G_VALUE_NOCOPY_CONTENTS to indicate that
199 a value shouldn't copy its contents.
201 * gvaluecollector.h: changed G_VALUE_COLLECT() and G_VALUE_LCOPY()
202 macros to carry an additional argument (flags) that can be used
203 to pass G_VALUE_NOCOPY_CONTENTS along to the collection functions.
205 * *.c: adapted collect_value() and lcopy_value() functions to the new
206 prototypes, support G_VALUE_NOCOPY_CONTENTS where apropriate.
208 * gsignal.[hc]: introduced a G_SIGNAL_TYPE_STATIC_SCOPE flag that can
209 be passed along (ORed) with the parameter types, indicating that the
210 emission arguments are to be considered static for the scope of the
211 emission. should be used with care and only if the caller knows that
212 a parameter cannot be destroyed/freed from signal handlers connected
215 Fri Feb 16 07:10:44 2001 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
219 (g_closure_sink): make closure sinking explicit.
222 (g_signal_connect_data):
223 (g_signal_connect_closure):
224 (g_signal_connect_closure_by_id):
225 (g_signal_newv): perform explicit closure sinking.
227 Thu Feb 8 00:31:45 2001 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
229 * gtype.h: added G_TYPE_DEBUG_NONE for/from Eric Lemings ;)
231 2001-02-04 Tor Lillqvist <tml@iki.fi>
233 * gobject.def: Remove glib_debug_objects.
235 Sun Feb 4 07:30:53 2001 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
237 * gtype.[hc]: changed g_type_init() to take debugging flags
238 initially, a combination of G_TYPE_DEBUG_OBJECTS and
239 G_TYPE_DEBUG_SIGNALS. using the G_TYPE_ prefix is a bit odd
240 here, but basically g_type_int() serves as initialization
241 fucntion for all of GType, GObject, GSignal, so what the heck.
243 * gobject.c: special case debugging code properly.
244 changed glib_trap_object_ref to g_trap_object_ref.
246 * gsignal.c: add signal emission debugging abilities, along with
247 a new trap object g_trap_instance_signals.
249 2001-02-04 Tor Lillqvist <tml@iki.fi>
251 * Makefile.am (progs_LDADD): Change order of libs to libgobject
252 first, then libglib. Needed for cygwin, says jbdoll@kepri.re.kr.
254 Wed Jan 31 06:19:49 2001 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
256 * gparam.h: gtk-doc sucks for not dealing with #define inside enums.
258 * gtype.[hc]: added G_TYPE_FLAG_RESERVED_ID_BIT, a bit in the type
259 number that's supposed to be left untouched (preserved mainly
260 for the signal code).
262 * *.c: added thread safety code, based on an old patch from sebastian.
263 the remaining thread safety issues are now datalists on pspecs (to be
264 solved im gdataset.c) and gvalue.c where locking concerns value exchange
265 functionality only, and that's soon to be revised.
267 2001-01-27 Tor Lillqvist <tml@iki.fi>
269 * makefile.msc.in: Don't try to compile gmarshal.c on its own.
271 2001-01-24 <alexl@redhat.com>
273 * gclosure.c (g_closure_unref):
274 Don't leak closure->notifiers.
276 2001-01-05 Havoc Pennington <hp@redhat.com>
278 * gparamspecs.c (g_param_spec_enum): set the value_type in the
279 param spec; closes bug 40210
280 (g_param_spec_flags): ditto for flags
282 2001-01-03 Alexander Larsson <alexl@redhat.com>
285 Move glib_debug_objects out of the G_ENABLE_DEBUG #ifdef.
287 Thu Dec 28 11:36:44 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
289 * gbsearcharray.c (upper_power2): disable G_BSEARCH_ALIGN_POWER2
290 fucntionality if DISABLE_MEM_POOLS is defined.
292 * gtype.c: honour DISABLE_MEM_POOLS.
294 * gsignal.c (g_signal_init): flag signal key bsearch array with
295 G_BSEARCH_ALIGN_POWER2 to avoid excessive growth time. honour
298 * gparam.h: added G_PARAM_READWRITE alias for (G_PARAM_READABLE |
301 2000-12-15 Tor Lillqvist <tml@iki.fi>
303 * gobject.def: Update.
305 2000-12-15 Havoc Pennington <hp@pobox.com>
307 * gobject.c (g_object_do_class_init): use g_signal_newc
309 * gsignal.c (g_signal_newc): convenience function for signals
311 (g_signal_new_valist): added
312 (g_signal_new): removed
314 Fri Dec 15 04:40:23 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
316 * gparam.[hc]: add an instance member value_type so the default
317 value of the pspec class can be overridden.
319 2000-12-14 Tor Lillqvist <tml@iki.fi>
321 * makefile.mingw.in: Update, include parts from Makefile.am to
322 build gmarshal.[ch]. Some day, we won't need these separate
323 makefiles for Win32 compilation. I hope.
325 * makefile.msc.in: Update. No use trying to build gmarshal.[ch]
326 here, it would require Unixish tools. MSVC users building from CVS
327 sources are out of luck.
329 * gobject.def: Update.
331 Wed Dec 13 09:31:26 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
333 * gparamspecs.[hc]: add G_TYPE_PARAM_BOXED implementation.
335 * gobject.[hc]: minor fixes.
337 Tue Dec 12 23:38:02 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
339 * Makefile.am: _never_ touch oldest-source-stamp.
341 * gobject.[hc]: construct property handling fixes/improvements.
342 fixed trailer handling in get/set property.
344 * gparam.[hc]: implement param spec pool, got rid of param spec
345 hashtable. the most prominent change is that e deal with type
348 2000-12-12 Elliot Lee <sopwith@redhat.com>
351 . You have to 'touch oldest-source-stamp' if you want to avoid having
352 the Makefile constantly rebuild itself.
353 . Fix marshaller generation rules to work with srcdir != builddir
354 (there were issues with trying to run "./glib-genmarshal", etc.)
356 Mon Dec 11 04:44:11 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
358 * gboxed.c: fixed dealing with collection/lcopy of NULL values.
360 * gclosure.h: removed insane ramblings, added G_CALLBACK() a casting
363 * Makefile.am: cleanups, marshaller generation rules.
365 * gmarshal.[hc]: new files with GRuntime standard marshallers.
367 * glib-genmarshal.c: fix log domain, support gruntime standard
368 marshallers, suport G_TYPE_PARAM, come with extern "C" and
371 * glib-genmarshal.1: reflect glib-genmarshal.c updates.
373 * gobject.[hc]: implement object constructor. rework parameter
374 changed notification queueing, we support queue freezes now and
375 don't dispatch from an idle handler anymore.
376 parameter->property rename hassle.
377 implemented ::properties_changed and ::notify::* signals for
378 property change notification (the later supports property names
379 as details). added signal connection and named data properties.
380 (g_signal_connect_object): new function to setup while_alive
382 (g_object_class_install_property): sink properties now, since they
383 are initially floating.
384 (g_object_steal_data):
385 (g_object_set_data_full):
387 (g_object_get_data): set/get data by using g_datalist_*() functions
389 (g_object_queue_param_changed): nuked.
390 (g_object_freeze_notify): start queueing of property changes (freeze/
392 (g_object_notify): announce changes of a certain property directly.
393 (g_object_thaw_notify): process queue of property changes, therefore
394 emitting GObject::notify::detail with detail being the changed
396 (G_OBJECT_WARN_INVALID_PROPERTY_ID): saner macro variant of former
397 G_WARN_INVALID_PARAM_ID().
399 * gparam.[hc]: param specs are now initially floating and need to be
400 sunken with g_param_spec_sink(), support G_TYPE_PARAM values.
401 added G_PARAM_CONSTRUCT and G_PARAM_CONSTRUCT_ONLY parameter flags,
402 required by GObjectClass.constructor().
404 * gparamspecs.[hc]: added GParamSpecParam, GParamSpecPointer and
405 GParamSpecCCallback, param specs for G_TYPE_PARAM, G_TYPE_POINTER
406 and G_TYPE_CCALLBACK respectively.
408 * gsignal.[hc]: cleanups.
409 (signal_id_lookup): after walking the anchestry, try interfaces as well.
410 (g_signal_new): new function to create signals from varargs type list.
411 (g_signal_connect_closure): closure connection variant that works from
413 (g_signal_connect_data): c handler connection variant that works from
415 (g_signal_emit_valist): emit signal for an instance with paraneters
416 collected from a va_list.
417 (g_signal_emit): emit signal, taking parameters from varargs list.
418 (g_signal_emit_by_name): same as g_signal_emit, working from
420 (signal_emit_R): return whether return_value needs to be altered.
422 * gtype.[hc]: set log-domain to GRuntime, i'm slowly getting to all
423 the points that need to reflect the upcoming rename.
424 melt g_type_conforms_to() functionality into g_type_is_a(), as that
425 is what we really want (liskov substitution principle).
426 assorted changes to other files due to conforms_to->is_a.
428 * gvalue.[hc]: implemented g_value_set_instance() that sets a value
429 from an instantiatable type via the value_table's collect_value()
430 function (based on an idea from James Henstridge <james@daa.com.au>).
433 * gvaluetypes.[hc]: implement G_TYPE_CCALLBACK and G_TYPE_PARAM.
435 Wed Nov 29 13:30:05 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
437 * gsignal.c (handlers_find): fix elliots "logic fix" that dereferences
438 NULL nodes if C handlers are searched for specific signals.
440 2000-11-28 Elliot Lee <sopwith@redhat.com>
442 * gsignal.c: Fix warnings about possible use of uninitialized
443 variables, and fix logic that would leave 'node' unset in cases
444 that it might be used in.
446 * glib-genmarshal.c: Fix warning about printf format.
448 2000-11-28 Tor Lillqvist <tml@iki.fi>
450 * gboxed.c: Include <string.h> for memset ().
452 2000-11-22 Tor Lillqvist <tml@iki.fi>
454 * gobject.def: Update.
456 2000-11-20 Havoc Pennington <hp@redhat.com>
458 * gobject.c (g_object_get_data)
460 (g_object_set_data_full)
461 (g_object_steal_data): More convenient data-setting functions
463 Wed Nov 15 20:58:05 2000 Owen Taylor <otaylor@redhat.com>
465 * gtypemodule.c (g_type_module_use): If loading the
466 module fails, don't increment the use count.
468 Thu Nov 9 01:49:43 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
470 * gobject.h (G_WARN_INVALID_PARAM_ID): doh,
471 s/BSE_OBJECT_TYPE_NAME/G_OBJECT_TYPE_NAME/; reported by Maas-Maarten
472 Zeeman <maas@wanadoo.nl>.
474 Mon Nov 13 00:48:39 2000 Owen Taylor <otaylor@redhat.com>
476 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add glib-genmarshal.1
478 2000-11-11 Tor Lillqvist <tml@iki.fi>
480 * gtypemodule.c: Include stdlib.h for exit().
482 * makefile.{mingw,msc}.in (gobject_OBJECTS): Add gtypemodule.
484 * gobject.def: Add missing functions.
486 Sun Nov 5 13:21:28 2000 Owen Taylor <otaylor@redhat.com>
488 * Makefile.am gtypemodule.[ch]: New basic implementation of
489 GTypePlugin interface as a GObject. Dynamically loaded modules can
490 register any number of types and interface on the module.
492 Sun Nov 5 10:25:40 2000 Owen Taylor <otaylor@redhat.com>
494 * gsignal.c (handlers_find): When appending handlers and
495 not matching on signal_id, use hlist->signal_id instead of
496 signal_id. Having the correct signal_id when unreffing
497 the handlers makes things work a lot better.
499 2000-11-05 Tor Lillqvist <tml@iki.fi>
501 * makefile.{mingw,msc}.in (gobject_OBJECTS): Add gtypeplugin.
503 * gobject.def: Update.
505 Sun Nov 5 05:22:55 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
508 fixed a bag full of subtle bugs of immensive screw-up potential in
509 handlers_find(), luckily no one found out about them yet ;)
510 fixed signal_handlers_foreach_matched_R() so it operates on an
511 initial handler list snapshot provided by handlers_find() to work
512 around general reentrancy problems and to avoid multiple callback()
513 invocations on the same handlers.
514 this code is now officially 80% bug free (10% remaining for interface
515 types, and 10% remaining for destroyed signals ;)
517 Sat Nov 4 02:01:33 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
519 * gsignal.c (_g_signals_destroy): valid signal nodes start out at 1.
521 * gtypeplugin.[hc]: new files holding a GTypePlugin interface
522 implementation that provides the API required by GType to deal with
523 dynamically loadable types.
525 * gtype.[hc]: displace any GTypePlugin business to gtypeplugin.h.
527 Fri Nov 3 07:35:00 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
529 * gsignal.[hc]: prefix internal functions with '_'. renamed
530 g_signal_connect_closure() to g_signal_connect_closure_by_id().
531 added g_signal_parse_name() to retrive signal_id and detail quark
532 from a signal name (internal).
534 Wed Nov 1 03:36:54 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
536 * gobject.c (g_object_base_class_finalize): destroy all signals that
537 the finalized obejct type introduced.
539 * gsignal.c (g_signals_destroy): don't require itype to have
542 * gobject.c (g_object_do_finalize): make sure all signal handlers
546 (g_signal_handler_find): only match on non-0 masks.
547 (g_signal_handlers_block_matched):
548 (g_signal_handlers_unblock_matched):
549 (g_signal_handlers_disconnect_matched): new functions to block/unblock
550 or disconnect handlers in groups.
552 2000-10-30 Sebastian Wilhelmi <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>
554 * gvalue.c (exchange_entries_equal), gparam.c (param_spec_equals):
555 made both functions return gboolean just for the little extra
556 standard conformance now that GEqualFunc is introduced.
558 Mon Oct 30 05:52:45 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
560 * gsignal.c (g_signal_list_ids): get rid of inline documentation owen
561 added, the doc system would ignore it anyways (for some reason not
564 Mon Oct 30 03:00:07 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
566 * gsignal.[hc] (g_signal_list_ids): renamed owen's g_type_signals(),
567 added required mutex locks.
569 Sun Oct 29 02:31:03 2000 Owen Taylor <otaylor@redhat.com>
571 * gsignal.c (g_type_signals): Fix problem where signals
572 with "_" in them appeared twice in the result array.
574 Sun Oct 29 01:58:44 2000 Owen Taylor <otaylor@redhat.com>
576 * gsignal.h: Add g_type_signals() - a function to list
577 all signals for a given type.
579 Sat Oct 28 00:28:09 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
581 * gclosure.c (g_closure_add_marshal_guards): fixed notifier position
582 for post_marshal guard which was off at 0.
584 Fri Oct 27 21:49:31 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
586 * gobject.[hc]: doh, fix argument order in for
587 g_cclosure_new_object_swap and g_cclosure_new_object.
589 2000-10-28 Tor Lillqvist <tml@iki.fi>
591 * makefile.{mingw,msc}.in: Make glib-genmarshal.exe.
593 * glib-genmarshal.c: Conditionalise include of unistd.h.
594 Include <io.h> on Win32.
596 * gobject.def: Add some missing entry points.
598 Fri Oct 27 16:33:41 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
600 * gsignal.[hc]: publically define GSignalInvocationHint structure
601 that gets passed in to closure invocations. added signal details.
602 renamed GSignalType to GSignalFlags to comply with conventions.
603 quite some cleanups and minor fixes. avoid uneccessary handler list
604 walks upon invokation of after handlers. relookup handler list for
605 restarted emissions. preliminary abort normal handler invokation if
606 after handler is encountered.
609 * gclosure.[hc]: moved invocation_hint to the end of the
610 g_closure_invoke() arguments as sugegsted by kenelson.
611 also made it a gpointer to be more generic. the invocation_hint
612 is a caller specific thing that can be used to pass additional
613 data in to closure invocations as documented with the caller
614 invoking the closure.
616 Fri Oct 27 05:35:14 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
618 * gobject.c (g_object_watch_closure): fixed realloc bug, reported
621 * gsignal.c (g_signal_newv): fixed deadlock scenarion where
622 g_signal_lookup() would be called with the signal lock being
623 held. reported by james henstridge.
625 * gclosure.c (g_closure_set_meta_marshal): fixed memcpy/overwrite bug
628 2000-10-26 Tor Lillqvist <tml@iki.fi>
630 * gbsearcharray.c (bsearch_array_insert): Fix gccisms (pointer
631 arithmetic on void pointer, label without statement following.
633 * gtype.c (type_node_fundamental_info): Don't apply unary minus to
634 result of sizeof operator, it can be unsigned. Cast first to
637 * gobject.def: Add new functions.
639 * makefile.{mingw,msc}.in: Add new objects.
641 2000-10-26 Sebastian Wilhelmi <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>
643 * Makefile.am: Remove empty SUBDIRS line _again_, as that _still_
644 prevents 'make dist' from working.
646 Wed Oct 25 19:11:03 2000 Owen Taylor <otaylor@redhat.com>
648 * gbsearcharray.h (g_bsearch_array_get_nth): Don't use implicit
649 casts from void * since this will get included from C++ too
652 Thu Oct 26 00:30:27 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
654 * gvaluetypes.[hc]: added g_value_set_static_string().
656 * gboxed.[hc]: const corrections. added g_value_set_static_boxed().
658 Wed Oct 25 20:27:02 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
660 * gtype.c (g_type_free_instance): for the moment, freeing object
661 structures will fill their memory portion with 0xAA. there's a
662 FIXME there, remove this line at a later point.
664 Tue Oct 24 23:10:26 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
667 * glib-genmarshal.c: added publically installed marshaller generator.
669 * gtype.h: added G_TYPE_INSTANCE_GET_INTERFACE() to retrive a certain
670 interface VTable from instances.
672 Mon Oct 23 08:28:15 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
674 * gobject.[hc]: new functions for closure maintenance:
675 (g_object_watch_closure): maintain validity of the object and
676 the closure for objects that are used as data part of a closure.
677 (g_cclosure_new_object): convenience function to create C closures
678 that have an object as data argument.
679 (g_closure_new_object): convenience function to create closures
680 that have an object as data argument.
682 * gclosure.[hc]: implementation of GClosure mechanism.
683 a closure is basically an encapsulation of a callback function
684 and its environment. ideally, most places supporting callback
685 functions will simply take a GClosure* pointer and thus unify
686 callback environments wrg destroy notification etc.
687 GClosure provides destroy notifiers for arbitrary data pointers,
688 reference counting, invalidation notification (it can be invalidated
689 which is merely a deactivate state) and a marshallinbg abstraction.
690 GCClosure is also provided in these files, they present a specialized
691 GClosure implementation for C language callbacks.
693 * genum.c: macro cleanups.
695 * gboxed.[hc]: new files, for boxed type abstraction.
696 (g_boxed_copy): copy a boxed structure
697 (g_boxed_free): free a boxed structure
699 (g_value_get_boxed): standard GValue functions for boxed types
700 (g_boxed_type_register_static): convenience function for easy
701 introduction of new G_TYPE_BOXED derivatives.
703 * gparam.[hc]: introduced g_param_type_register_static(), a short hand
704 for creation of new GParamSpec derived types.
706 * gtype.[hc]: many fixes, introduced ability to flag individual
707 type nodes as ABSTRACT upon registration, added value_peek_pointer()
708 to the value table to peek at GValue contents as a pointer for types
709 that support this. fixed up GValue checks.
711 * gvalue.[hc]: added g_value_fits_pointer() and g_value_get_as_pointer()
712 to peek at the value contents as pointer.
714 * *.[hc]: adaptions to type macro fixes and changes in the type
717 * many const corrections over the place.
719 Sat Oct 21 02:49:56 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
721 * gtype.c (g_type_conforms_to): this function basically behaves like
722 and is_a check, except that it _additionally_ features interfaces
723 for instantiatable types. enforce this in the second branch as well
724 (`type' conforms_to `type') even if `type' is not an interface type.
726 Fri Oct 20 15:31:04 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
728 * gvaluetypes.[hc]: added G_TYPE_POINTER implementation from jrb.
732 * gvaluetypes.c: added GTypeValueTable.value_peek_pointer and
733 suitable implementations of this for G_TYPE_STRING, G_TYPE_OBJECT
736 Mon Aug 21 04:13:37 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
738 * gbsearcharray.[hc]: long standing needed generic implementation
739 of a binary searchable, sorted and dynamically sized array.
741 2000-10-15 Raja R Harinath <harinath@cs.umn.edu>
743 * Makefile.am (BUILT_EXTRA_DIST): New variable.
744 (dist-hook): Handle $(BUILT_EXTRA_DIST).
745 (*): Remove traces of @STRIP_{BEGIN,END}@.
747 2000-09-29 Martin Baulig <baulig@suse.de>
749 Several minor ANSI C fixes.
752 * gtype.c (type_class_init):
753 `(gpointer) bnode->data->class.class_init_base'
754 in call to g_slist_prepend() and
755 'GBaseInitFunc class_init_base = (GBaseInitFunc) slist->data'.
757 * gobject.c: Put text following #endif into comments.
759 2000-09-25 Sebastian Wilhelmi <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>
761 * Makefile.am: Remove empty SUBDIRS line, as that prevents make
764 Sat Sep 9 20:04:13 2000 Owen Taylor <otaylor@redhat.com>
766 * gobject.c (g_object_last_unref): Move call to
767 g_type_free_instance() here from g_object_do_finalize,
768 since g_type_free_instance() can unload the object's
771 2000-07-27 Tor Lillqvist <tml@iki.fi>
773 * gobject.c: No, don't mark glib_debug_objects for export here,
774 it's handled specially in gtktypeutils.c.
776 * gobject.def: Export g_type_fundamental_last (the function).
778 2000-07-26 Tor Lillqvist <tml@iki.fi>
781 * gobject.c: Mark glib_debug_objects for export/import as it is
784 Sun Jul 23 17:23:35 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
786 * gtype.[hc]: make g_type_fundamental_last() a function, avoiding all
787 that extern variable clutter and avoiding further problems with thread
790 2000-07-19 Tor Lillqvist <tml@iki.fi>
795 * gtype.c: Shut up Sun's picky compiler.
797 2000-07-14 Tor Lillqvist <tml@iki.fi>
799 * gobject.def: Add g_type_get_plugin.
801 Thu Jul 13 02:07:54 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
803 * gparam.c (g_param_value_defaults): default initialize the temporary
804 default value, instead of nuking the caller's value contents.
806 2000-07-11 Raja R Harinath <harinath@cs.umn.edu>
808 * gtype.c (g_type_get_plugin): Don't return just 0 or 1.
810 Tue Jul 11 02:48:13 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
812 * gtype.[hc]: removed g_type_is_dynamic() and added g_type_get_plugin().
814 2000-07-10 Tor Lillqvist <tml@iki.fi>
816 * gobject-query.c: Include ../config.h for HAVE_UNISTD_H. Use it
817 to guard inclusion of <unistd.h>.
819 * gtype.h: Fix copy-paste errors in the ifdefs on how to declare a
820 variable for export. Call the macro GOBJECT_VAR.
822 * gtype.c: Declare _g_type_fundamental_last for export here, too.
823 (type_node_any_new): Use only constant expressions for sizeof
824 operator (for instance MSVC requires this).
826 * makefile.mingw.in: Define GOBJECT_COMPILATION.
828 Sun Jul 9 21:21:46 2000 Owen Taylor <otaylor@redhat.com>
830 * genums.c: Move string.h include into the .c file
831 instead of where it was in the .h file by mistake.
833 Thu Jul 6 15:30:27 2000 Owen Taylor <otaylor@redhat.com>
835 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): dist fixes.
837 * gobject.c: Add a global variable glib_debug_objects
838 (not in header file) to control object tracing.
840 2000-07-01 Tor Lillqvist <tml@iki.fi>
842 * gobject.def: Update added and renamed entry points.
844 * makefile.mingw.in: Add gvaluetypes.o.
846 Thu Jun 29 16:02:07 2000 Owen Taylor <otaylor@redhat.com>
848 * gobject.c:include string.h for memset
849 * genums.h: include string.h for strcpy
850 * gvalue.c: include string.h for memset, memcpy.
852 Sat Jun 24 23:03:04 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
854 * gtype.[hc]: provide G_TYPE_CHAR, G_TYPE_UCHAR, G_TYPE_BOOLEAN,
855 G_TYPE_INT, G_TYPE_UINT, G_TYPE_LONG, G_TYPE_ULONG, G_TYPE_FLOAT,
856 G_TYPE_DOUBLE and G_TYPE_STRING fundamental types.
857 added a GTypeValueTable* pointer to GTypeInfo structure for types
858 to implement GValue handling functions.
859 GTypeValueTable contains the following members:
860 value_init(): initialize a GValue structure.
861 value_free(): free GValue structure contents (optional).
862 value_copy(): copy one GValue contents to another GValue structure of
863 collect_type: varargs collection type for the first variable argument
864 to be collected by collect_value().
865 collect_value(): variable arguments collection function (optional).
866 lcopy_type: varargs collection type for the first variable argument
867 to be location copyied by lcopy_value().
868 lcopy_value(): variable arguments location copy function (optional).
869 g_type_value_table_peek(): new function to retrive the GTypeValueTable*
870 for a type node. ValueTables get inherited from parent types, unless
871 overridden through the GTypeInfo structure. internally, GTypeValueTable
872 support means an added overhead of one pointer per static or used
874 g_type_add_class_cache_func(): provide a cache_func/data pair to be
875 called prior to a type nodes last_unref() function, this can be used
876 to prevent premature class destruction. multiple installed cache_func()
877 will be chained upon last_unref() untill one of them returns TRUE.
878 the cache_func()s have to check the class id passed in to figure whether
879 they actually want to cache the class of this type (since all classes
880 are routed through the cache_func() chain).
881 g_type_remove_class_cache_func(): remove a previously installed
882 cache_func/data pair. the cache maintained by this function has to be
883 clear when calling g_type_remove_class_cache_func() to avoid leaks.
884 g_type_class_unref_uncached(): class unref function for cache_func()
885 implementations, unreferences a class omitting the cache chain (and
886 therefore unref->cache->unref->... loops).
888 * gvaluetypes.[hc]: provide the value setters/getters for the primitive
889 fundamental types boolean, char, uchar, int, uint, long, ulong, float,
892 * gvalue.[hc]: provide G_TYPE_IS_VALUE() in terms of whether a
893 GTypeValueTable is provided for this type.
894 removed g_value_init_default(), g_value_validate(), g_value_defaults(),
895 g_value_set_default() and g_values_cmp() as these are supplied by the
897 moved g_values_exchange() into the "implementation details" section,
898 since it just provides the underlying functionality for
901 * gvaluecollector.h: renamed the varargs value container from
902 GParamCValue to GTypeCValue as the value collection methods are
903 supplied by the type system now.
904 G_PARAM_COLLECT_VALUE() and G_PARAM_LCOPY_VALUE() got renamed to
905 G_VALUE_COLLECT() and G_VALUE_LCOPY() and operate without a
906 GParamSpec structure now.
908 * genums.h: macros cleanups/fixes.
910 * genum.c: provide G_TYPE_ENUM and G_TYPE_FLAGS type
911 and assorted g_value_{s|g}et_{enum|flags}() implementations.
914 provide G_IS_VALUE_OBJECT(), G_TYPE_OBJECT ValueTable methods
915 and g_value_{s|g}et_object().
917 * gparam.[hc]: reduced class to value_set_default(),
918 value_validate() and values_cmp(). also parameters now need to fill
919 in a GType value_type; field to indicate the GValue type they
920 are handling. provide g_param_value_set_default(),
921 g_param_value_defaults(), g_param_value_validate() and
922 g_param_values_cmp().
924 * gparamspecs.[hc]: got rid of the g_value_* functions and
925 the G_IS_VALUE_* macros. adapted param spec implementations
926 according to the GParamSpecClass changes.
928 Sat Jun 10 08:38:27 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
930 * gtype.c (type_class_init): fetch the nth iface entry of the
931 type node in the nth loop iteration, not alwys the first.
932 bug discovered by Walt Pohl <cher@suitware.com>.
933 (type_data_finalize_class_ifaces): same here, cut and paste
936 Wed Jun 7 09:21:05 2000 Owen Taylor <otaylor@redhat.com>
938 * Makefile.am (INCLUDES): Add top_builddir so glibconfig.h
939 is found properly when build srcdir != builddir. (Patch from
942 2000-05-13 Tor Lillqvist <tml@iki.fi>
946 * gobject.rc.in: New files, for Win32 (mingw) build.
948 * Makefile.am: Add to EXTRA_DIST. Add rules to produce the
949 corresponding non-*.in files.
951 * gtype.h: (Win32:) Mark _g_type_fundamental_last for
952 export/import from DLL.
954 Fri May 5 01:15:48 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
956 * gtype.h: add reserved fundamental ids for gtk types (for transition
957 time). added G_TYPE_FUNDAMENTAL_MAX for gtk.
959 Mon Apr 17 20:45:50 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
961 * glib-gobject.c (g_object_base_class_finalize): oops, don't unset
962 n_params prior to destructing them.
964 Tue Apr 11 04:28:10 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
966 * fixed a couple of bugs in the initial parameter/object
967 implementations, after getting beast running on GObject and GValue.
969 Fri Apr 7 04:27:49 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
971 * glib-gobject.[hc]: completed parameter set/get implementations,
972 along with asyncronous parameter changed notification queue.
974 Sun Apr 2 04:54:36 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
976 * glib-gobject.[hc]: GObject implementation, that is facilities
977 for setting/getting quarked data and reference counting.
979 * glib-gparamspecs.[hc]: first actuall parameter implementations
980 for GLib, so far we have: char, uchar, bool, int, uint, long,
981 ulong, enum, flags, float, double, string and object. each of these
982 GParamSpecs is a new instantiatable type in its own respect,
983 so the .c file derives 13 new types from G_TYPE_PARAM and
984 defines over 50 (*2) conversion facilities.
986 * glib-gvaluecollector.h: generic varargs handling stubs for
987 GParamSpecs, private header file (does get installed for
988 inclusion into user code though).
990 * glib-gvalue.[hc]: GValue functionality implementation.
992 * glib-gparam.[hc]: basis GParamSpec implementation for
993 the virtual base type G_TYPE_PARAM.
995 * glib-genums.[hc]: enum/flags type implementation, based on
998 * glib-gtype.[hc]: GLib Type System implementation, heavily
999 based on BSE's dynamic type system.
