1 2001-03-07 Sebastian Wilhelmi <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>
3 * Makefile.am: Avoid rebuilding everything everytime.
5 Wed Mar 7 09:36:33 2001 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
7 * gboxed.[hc]: changed prototype of g_boxed_type_register_static()
8 to contain an optional init function and a hint at whether the
9 boxed structure uses ref counting internally.
10 added g_value_set_boxed_take_ownership().
11 made G_TYPE_BOXED an abstract value type.
13 * genums.[hc]: made G_TYPE_ENUM and G_TYPE_FLAGS abstract value
16 * glib-genmarshal.c: argument type changes, preparation for third-party
19 * gobject.[hc]: cleaned up get/set property code.
20 added g_strdup_value_contents() to improve warnings.
22 * gparam.[hc]: added g_param_value_convert(), taking over responsibility
23 of the old g_value_convert(). added G_PARAM_LAX_VALIDATION flag so
24 validation alterations may be valid a part of the property setting
27 * gparamspecs.[hc]: made value comparisons stable (for sort applications).
28 added GParamSpecValueArray, a param spec for value arrays and
29 GParamSpecClosure. nuked the value exchange functions and
32 * gtype.[hc]: catch unintialized usages of the type system with
33 g_return_val_if_uninitialized(). introduced G_TYPE_FLAG_VALUE_ABSTRACT
34 to flag types that introduce a value table, but can't be used for
35 g_value_init(). cleaned up reserved type ids.
37 * gvalue.[hc]: code cleanups and saner checking.
38 nuked the value exchange API. implemented value transformations, we
39 can't really "convert" values, rather transforms are an anylogy to
40 C casts, real conversions need a param spec for validation, which is
41 why g_param_value_convert() does real conversions now.
43 * gvaluearray.[hc]: new files that implement a GValueArray, a struct
44 that can hold inhomogeneous arrays of value (to that extend that it
45 also allowes undefined values, i.e. G_VALUE_TYPE(value)==0).
46 this is exposed to the type system as a boxed type.
48 * gvaluetransform.c: new file implementing most of the former value
49 exchange functions as single-sided transformations.
51 * gvaluetypes.[hc]: nuked G_TYPE_CCALLBACK, added
52 g_value_set_string_take_ownership().
54 * *.h: s/G_IS_VALUE_/G_VALUE_HOLDS_/.
56 * *.[hc]: many fixes and cleanups.
58 * many warning improvements.
60 Tue Feb 27 18:35:15 2001 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
62 * gobject.c (g_object_get_valist): urg, pass G_VALUE_NOCOPY_CONTENTS
63 into G_VALUE_LCOPY(), this needs proper documenting.
65 * gparam.c: fixed G_PARAM_USER_MASK.
67 * gtype.c (type_data_make_W):
68 (type_data_last_unref_Wm): fixed invalid memory freeing.
70 * gobject.c (g_object_last_unref): destroy signal handlers associated
71 with object, right before finalization.
73 * gsignal.c (g_signal_parse_name): catch destroyed nodes or signals
74 that don't actually support details.
76 * gobject.[hc]: got rid of property trailers. nuked GObject
77 properties "data" and the "signal" variants.
78 (g_object_connect): new convenience function to do multiple
79 signal connections at once.
80 (g_object_disconnect): likewise, for disconnections.
82 * gparam.[hc] (g_param_spec_pool_lookup): took out trailer support.
84 * gvalue.[hc]: marked g_value_fits_pointer() and g_value_peek_pointer()
85 as private (the latter got renamed from g_value_get_as_pointer()).
87 Wed Feb 21 18:31:46 2001 Jonathan Blandford <jrb@redhat.com>
89 * gsignal.h (g_signal_connect): Add g_signal_connect define to
90 make porting from gtk_signal_connect easy.
92 * gsignal.c (g_signal_emit_valist): Use G_TYPE_FROM_INSTANCE
93 (instance) instead of node->itype when initting the value.
95 2001-02-17 Havoc Pennington <hp@pobox.com>
97 Applied patch from Soeren Sandmann:
99 * gvaluetypes.c (g_value_get_string): G_CONST_RETURN
101 * gtype.c (g_type_name): G_CONST_RETURN
103 * gsignal.c (g_signal_name): G_CONST_RETURN
105 * gobject-query.c (main): const fix
107 Sat Feb 17 07:58:46 2001 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
109 * genums.h (G_TYPE_IS_FLAGS): patch from sven to fixup
110 G_ENUM_CLASS_TYPE() macro.
112 Sat Feb 17 04:55:35 2001 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
114 * gtype.[hc]: changed collect_format, collect_value() and lcopy_format,
115 lcopy_value() in the GTypeValueTable. the collect functions are now
116 called only once per value, collect_format/lcopy_format are strings
117 that enlist all necessary GTypeCValues to be varargs-collected.
119 * gvalue.h: ranamed STATIC_TAG to G_VALUE_NOCOPY_CONTENTS to indicate that
120 a value shouldn't copy its contents.
122 * gvaluecollector.h: changed G_VALUE_COLLECT() and G_VALUE_LCOPY()
123 macros to carry an additional argument (flags) that can be used
124 to pass G_VALUE_NOCOPY_CONTENTS along to the collection functions.
126 * *.c: adapted collect_value() and lcopy_value() functions to the new
127 prototypes, support G_VALUE_NOCOPY_CONTENTS where apropriate.
129 * gsignal.[hc]: introduced a G_SIGNAL_TYPE_STATIC_SCOPE flag that can
130 be passed along (ORed) with the parameter types, indicating that the
131 emission arguments are to be considered static for the scope of the
132 emission. should be used with care and only if the caller knows that
133 a parameter cannot be destroyed/freed from signal handlers connected
136 Fri Feb 16 07:10:44 2001 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
140 (g_closure_sink): make closure sinking explicit.
143 (g_signal_connect_data):
144 (g_signal_connect_closure):
145 (g_signal_connect_closure_by_id):
146 (g_signal_newv): perform explicit closure sinking.
148 Thu Feb 8 00:31:45 2001 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
150 * gtype.h: added G_TYPE_DEBUG_NONE for/from Eric Lemings ;)
152 2001-02-04 Tor Lillqvist <tml@iki.fi>
154 * gobject.def: Remove glib_debug_objects.
156 Sun Feb 4 07:30:53 2001 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
158 * gtype.[hc]: changed g_type_init() to take debugging flags
159 initially, a combination of G_TYPE_DEBUG_OBJECTS and
160 G_TYPE_DEBUG_SIGNALS. using the G_TYPE_ prefix is a bit odd
161 here, but basically g_type_int() serves as initialization
162 fucntion for all of GType, GObject, GSignal, so what the heck.
164 * gobject.c: special case debugging code properly.
165 changed glib_trap_object_ref to g_trap_object_ref.
167 * gsignal.c: add signal emission debugging abilities, along with
168 a new trap object g_trap_instance_signals.
170 2001-02-04 Tor Lillqvist <tml@iki.fi>
172 * Makefile.am (progs_LDADD): Change order of libs to libgobject
173 first, then libglib. Needed for cygwin, says jbdoll@kepri.re.kr.
175 Wed Jan 31 06:19:49 2001 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
177 * gparam.h: gtk-doc sucks for not dealing with #define inside enums.
179 * gtype.[hc]: added G_TYPE_FLAG_RESERVED_ID_BIT, a bit in the type
180 number that's supposed to be left untouched (preserved mainly
181 for the signal code).
183 * *.c: added thread safety code, based on an old patch from sebastian.
184 the remaining thread safety issues are now datalists on pspecs (to be
185 solved im gdataset.c) and gvalue.c where locking concerns value exchange
186 functionality only, and that's soon to be revised.
188 2001-01-27 Tor Lillqvist <tml@iki.fi>
190 * makefile.msc.in: Don't try to compile gmarshal.c on its own.
192 2001-01-24 <alexl@redhat.com>
194 * gclosure.c (g_closure_unref):
195 Don't leak closure->notifiers.
197 2001-01-05 Havoc Pennington <hp@redhat.com>
199 * gparamspecs.c (g_param_spec_enum): set the value_type in the
200 param spec; closes bug 40210
201 (g_param_spec_flags): ditto for flags
203 2001-01-03 Alexander Larsson <alexl@redhat.com>
206 Move glib_debug_objects out of the G_ENABLE_DEBUG #ifdef.
208 Thu Dec 28 11:36:44 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
210 * gbsearcharray.c (upper_power2): disable G_BSEARCH_ALIGN_POWER2
211 fucntionality if DISABLE_MEM_POOLS is defined.
213 * gtype.c: honour DISABLE_MEM_POOLS.
215 * gsignal.c (g_signal_init): flag signal key bsearch array with
216 G_BSEARCH_ALIGN_POWER2 to avoid excessive growth time. honour
219 * gparam.h: added G_PARAM_READWRITE alias for (G_PARAM_READABLE |
222 2000-12-15 Tor Lillqvist <tml@iki.fi>
224 * gobject.def: Update.
226 2000-12-15 Havoc Pennington <hp@pobox.com>
228 * gobject.c (g_object_do_class_init): use g_signal_newc
230 * gsignal.c (g_signal_newc): convenience function for signals
232 (g_signal_new_valist): added
233 (g_signal_new): removed
235 Fri Dec 15 04:40:23 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
237 * gparam.[hc]: add an instance member value_type so the default
238 value of the pspec class can be overridden.
240 2000-12-14 Tor Lillqvist <tml@iki.fi>
242 * makefile.mingw.in: Update, include parts from Makefile.am to
243 build gmarshal.[ch]. Some day, we won't need these separate
244 makefiles for Win32 compilation. I hope.
246 * makefile.msc.in: Update. No use trying to build gmarshal.[ch]
247 here, it would require Unixish tools. MSVC users building from CVS
248 sources are out of luck.
250 * gobject.def: Update.
252 Wed Dec 13 09:31:26 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
254 * gparamspecs.[hc]: add G_TYPE_PARAM_BOXED implementation.
256 * gobject.[hc]: minor fixes.
258 Tue Dec 12 23:38:02 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
260 * Makefile.am: _never_ touch oldest-source-stamp.
262 * gobject.[hc]: construct property handling fixes/improvements.
263 fixed trailer handling in get/set property.
265 * gparam.[hc]: implement param spec pool, got rid of param spec
266 hashtable. the most prominent change is that e deal with type
269 2000-12-12 Elliot Lee <sopwith@redhat.com>
272 . You have to 'touch oldest-source-stamp' if you want to avoid having
273 the Makefile constantly rebuild itself.
274 . Fix marshaller generation rules to work with srcdir != builddir
275 (there were issues with trying to run "./glib-genmarshal", etc.)
277 Mon Dec 11 04:44:11 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
279 * gboxed.c: fixed dealing with collection/lcopy of NULL values.
281 * gclosure.h: removed insane ramblings, added G_CALLBACK() a casting
284 * Makefile.am: cleanups, marshaller generation rules.
286 * gmarshal.[hc]: new files with GRuntime standard marshallers.
288 * glib-genmarshal.c: fix log domain, support gruntime standard
289 marshallers, suport G_TYPE_PARAM, come with extern "C" and
292 * glib-genmarshal.1: reflect glib-genmarshal.c updates.
294 * gobject.[hc]: implement object constructor. rework parameter
295 changed notification queueing, we support queue freezes now and
296 don't dispatch from an idle handler anymore.
297 parameter->property rename hassle.
298 implemented ::properties_changed and ::notify::* signals for
299 property change notification (the later supports property names
300 as details). added signal connection and named data properties.
301 (g_signal_connect_object): new function to setup while_alive
303 (g_object_class_install_property): sink properties now, since they
304 are initially floating.
305 (g_object_steal_data):
306 (g_object_set_data_full):
308 (g_object_get_data): set/get data by using g_datalist_*() functions
310 (g_object_queue_param_changed): nuked.
311 (g_object_freeze_notify): start queueing of property changes (freeze/
313 (g_object_notify): announce changes of a certain property directly.
314 (g_object_thaw_notify): process queue of property changes, therefore
315 emitting GObject::notify::detail with detail being the changed
317 (G_OBJECT_WARN_INVALID_PROPERTY_ID): saner macro variant of former
318 G_WARN_INVALID_PARAM_ID().
320 * gparam.[hc]: param specs are now initially floating and need to be
321 sunken with g_param_spec_sink(), support G_TYPE_PARAM values.
322 added G_PARAM_CONSTRUCT and G_PARAM_CONSTRUCT_ONLY parameter flags,
323 required by GObjectClass.constructor().
325 * gparamspecs.[hc]: added GParamSpecParam, GParamSpecPointer and
326 GParamSpecCCallback, param specs for G_TYPE_PARAM, G_TYPE_POINTER
327 and G_TYPE_CCALLBACK respectively.
329 * gsignal.[hc]: cleanups.
330 (signal_id_lookup): after walking the anchestry, try interfaces as well.
331 (g_signal_new): new function to create signals from varargs type list.
332 (g_signal_connect_closure): closure connection variant that works from
334 (g_signal_connect_data): c handler connection variant that works from
336 (g_signal_emit_valist): emit signal for an instance with paraneters
337 collected from a va_list.
338 (g_signal_emit): emit signal, taking parameters from varargs list.
339 (g_signal_emit_by_name): same as g_signal_emit, working from
341 (signal_emit_R): return whether return_value needs to be altered.
343 * gtype.[hc]: set log-domain to GRuntime, i'm slowly getting to all
344 the points that need to reflect the upcoming rename.
345 melt g_type_conforms_to() functionality into g_type_is_a(), as that
346 is what we really want (liskov substitution principle).
347 assorted changes to other files due to conforms_to->is_a.
349 * gvalue.[hc]: implemented g_value_set_instance() that sets a value
350 from an instantiatable type via the value_table's collect_value()
351 function (based on an idea from James Henstridge <james@daa.com.au>).
354 * gvaluetypes.[hc]: implement G_TYPE_CCALLBACK and G_TYPE_PARAM.
356 Wed Nov 29 13:30:05 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
358 * gsignal.c (handlers_find): fix elliots "logic fix" that dereferences
359 NULL nodes if C handlers are searched for specific signals.
361 2000-11-28 Elliot Lee <sopwith@redhat.com>
363 * gsignal.c: Fix warnings about possible use of uninitialized
364 variables, and fix logic that would leave 'node' unset in cases
365 that it might be used in.
367 * glib-genmarshal.c: Fix warning about printf format.
369 2000-11-28 Tor Lillqvist <tml@iki.fi>
371 * gboxed.c: Include <string.h> for memset ().
373 2000-11-22 Tor Lillqvist <tml@iki.fi>

377 2000-11-20 Havoc Pennington <hp@redhat.com>
379 * gobject.c (g_object_get_data)
381 (g_object_set_data_full)
382 (g_object_steal_data): More convenient data-setting functions
384 Wed Nov 15 20:58:05 2000 Owen Taylor <otaylor@redhat.com>
386 * gtypemodule.c (g_type_module_use): If loading the
387 module fails, don't increment the use count.
389 Thu Nov 9 01:49:43 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
391 * gobject.h (G_WARN_INVALID_PARAM_ID): doh,
392 s/BSE_OBJECT_TYPE_NAME/G_OBJECT_TYPE_NAME/; reported by Maas-Maarten
393 Zeeman <maas@wanadoo.nl>.
395 Mon Nov 13 00:48:39 2000 Owen Taylor <otaylor@redhat.com>

409 * Makefile.am gtypemodule.[ch]: New basic implementation of
410 GTypePlugin interface as a GObject. Dynamically loaded modules can
411 register any number of types and interface on the module.
413 Sun Nov 5 10:25:40 2000 Owen Taylor <otaylor@redhat.com>
415 * gsignal.c (handlers_find): When appending handlers and
416 not matching on signal_id, use hlist->signal_id instead of
417 signal_id. Having the correct signal_id when unreffing
418 the handlers makes things work a lot better.
420 2000-11-05 Tor Lillqvist <tml@iki.fi>
422 * makefile.{mingw,msc}.in (gobject_OBJECTS): Add gtypeplugin.
424 * gobject.def: Update.
426 Sun Nov 5 05:22:55 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
429 fixed a bag full of subtle bugs of immensive screw-up potential in
430 handlers_find(), luckily no one found out about them yet ;)
431 fixed signal_handlers_foreach_matched_R() so it operates on an
432 initial handler list snapshot provided by handlers_find() to work
433 around general reentrancy problems and to avoid multiple callback()
434 invocations on the same handlers.
435 this code is now officially 80% bug free (10% remaining for interface
436 types, and 10% remaining for destroyed signals ;)
438 Sat Nov 4 02:01:33 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
440 * gsignal.c (_g_signals_destroy): valid signal nodes start out at 1.
442 * gtypeplugin.[hc]: new files holding a GTypePlugin interface
443 implementation that provides the API required by GType to deal with
444 dynamically loadable types.
446 * gtype.[hc]: displace any GTypePlugin business to gtypeplugin.h.
448 Fri Nov 3 07:35:00 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
450 * gsignal.[hc]: prefix internal functions with '_'. renamed
451 g_signal_connect_closure() to g_signal_connect_closure_by_id().
452 added g_signal_parse_name() to retrive signal_id and detail quark
453 from a signal name (internal).
455 Wed Nov 1 03:36:54 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
457 * gobject.c (g_object_base_class_finalize): destroy all signals that
458 the finalized obejct type introduced.
460 * gsignal.c (g_signals_destroy): don't require itype to have
463 * gobject.c (g_object_do_finalize): make sure all signal handlers
467 (g_signal_handler_find): only match on non-0 masks.
468 (g_signal_handlers_block_matched):
469 (g_signal_handlers_unblock_matched):
470 (g_signal_handlers_disconnect_matched): new functions to block/unblock
471 or disconnect handlers in groups.
473 2000-10-30 Sebastian Wilhelmi <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>
475 * gvalue.c (exchange_entries_equal), gparam.c (param_spec_equals):
476 made both functions return gboolean just for the little extra
477 standard conformance now that GEqualFunc is introduced.
479 Mon Oct 30 05:52:45 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
481 * gsignal.c (g_signal_list_ids): get rid of inline documentation owen
482 added, the doc system would ignore it anyways (for some reason not
485 Mon Oct 30 03:00:07 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
487 * gsignal.[hc] (g_signal_list_ids): renamed owen's g_type_signals(),
488 added required mutex locks.
490 Sun Oct 29 02:31:03 2000 Owen Taylor <otaylor@redhat.com>
492 * gsignal.c (g_type_signals): Fix problem where signals
493 with "_" in them appeared twice in the result array.
495 Sun Oct 29 01:58:44 2000 Owen Taylor <otaylor@redhat.com>
497 * gsignal.h: Add g_type_signals() - a function to list
498 all signals for a given type.
500 Sat Oct 28 00:28:09 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
502 * gclosure.c (g_closure_add_marshal_guards): fixed notifier position
503 for post_marshal guard which was off at 0.
505 Fri Oct 27 21:49:31 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
507 * gobject.[hc]: doh, fix argument order in for
508 g_cclosure_new_object_swap and g_cclosure_new_object.
510 2000-10-28 Tor Lillqvist <tml@iki.fi>
512 * makefile.{mingw,msc}.in: Make glib-genmarshal.exe.
514 * glib-genmarshal.c: Conditionalise include of unistd.h.
515 Include <io.h> on Win32.
517 * gobject.def: Add some missing entry points.
519 Fri Oct 27 16:33:41 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
521 * gsignal.[hc]: publically define GSignalInvocationHint structure
522 that gets passed in to closure invocations. added signal details.
523 renamed GSignalType to GSignalFlags to comply with conventions.
524 quite some cleanups and minor fixes. avoid uneccessary handler list
525 walks upon invokation of after handlers. relookup handler list for
526 restarted emissions. preliminary abort normal handler invokation if
527 after handler is encountered.
530 * gclosure.[hc]: moved invocation_hint to the end of the
531 g_closure_invoke() arguments as sugegsted by kenelson.
532 also made it a gpointer to be more generic. the invocation_hint
533 is a caller specific thing that can be used to pass additional
534 data in to closure invocations as documented with the caller
535 invoking the closure.
537 Fri Oct 27 05:35:14 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
539 * gobject.c (g_object_watch_closure): fixed realloc bug, reported
542 * gsignal.c (g_signal_newv): fixed deadlock scenarion where
543 g_signal_lookup() would be called with the signal lock being
544 held. reported by james henstridge.
546 * gclosure.c (g_closure_set_meta_marshal): fixed memcpy/overwrite bug
549 2000-10-26 Tor Lillqvist <tml@iki.fi>
551 * gbsearcharray.c (bsearch_array_insert): Fix gccisms (pointer
552 arithmetic on void pointer, label without statement following.
554 * gtype.c (type_node_fundamental_info): Don't apply unary minus to
555 result of sizeof operator, it can be unsigned. Cast first to
558 * gobject.def: Add new functions.
560 * makefile.{mingw,msc}.in: Add new objects.
562 2000-10-26 Sebastian Wilhelmi <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>
564 * Makefile.am: Remove empty SUBDIRS line _again_, as that _still_
565 prevents 'make dist' from working.
567 Wed Oct 25 19:11:03 2000 Owen Taylor <otaylor@redhat.com>
569 * gbsearcharray.h (g_bsearch_array_get_nth): Don't use implicit
570 casts from void * since this will get included from C++ too
573 Thu Oct 26 00:30:27 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
575 * gvaluetypes.[hc]: added g_value_set_static_string().
577 * gboxed.[hc]: const corrections. added g_value_set_static_boxed().
579 Wed Oct 25 20:27:02 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
581 * gtype.c (g_type_free_instance): for the moment, freeing object
582 structures will fill their memory portion with 0xAA. there's a
583 FIXME there, remove this line at a later point.
585 Tue Oct 24 23:10:26 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
588 * glib-genmarshal.c: added publically installed marshaller generator.
590 * gtype.h: added G_TYPE_INSTANCE_GET_INTERFACE() to retrive a certain
591 interface VTable from instances.
593 Mon Oct 23 08:28:15 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
595 * gobject.[hc]: new functions for closure maintenance:
596 (g_object_watch_closure): maintain validity of the object and
597 the closure for objects that are used as data part of a closure.
598 (g_cclosure_new_object): convenience function to create C closures
599 that have an object as data argument.
600 (g_closure_new_object): convenience function to create closures
601 that have an object as data argument.
603 * gclosure.[hc]: implementation of GClosure mechanism.
604 a closure is basically an encapsulation of a callback function
605 and its environment. ideally, most places supporting callback
606 functions will simply take a GClosure* pointer and thus unify
607 callback environments wrg destroy notification etc.
608 GClosure provides destroy notifiers for arbitrary data pointers,
609 reference counting, invalidation notification (it can be invalidated
610 which is merely a deactivate state) and a marshallinbg abstraction.
611 GCClosure is also provided in these files, they present a specialized
612 GClosure implementation for C language callbacks.
614 * genum.c: macro cleanups.
616 * gboxed.[hc]: new files, for boxed type abstraction.
617 (g_boxed_copy): copy a boxed structure
618 (g_boxed_free): free a boxed structure
620 (g_value_get_boxed): standard GValue functions for boxed types
621 (g_boxed_type_register_static): convenience function for easy
622 introduction of new G_TYPE_BOXED derivatives.
624 * gparam.[hc]: introduced g_param_type_register_static(), a short hand
625 for creation of new GParamSpec derived types.
627 * gtype.[hc]: many fixes, introduced ability to flag individual
628 type nodes as ABSTRACT upon registration, added value_peek_pointer()
629 to the value table to peek at GValue contents as a pointer for types
630 that support this. fixed up GValue checks.
632 * gvalue.[hc]: added g_value_fits_pointer() and g_value_get_as_pointer()
633 to peek at the value contents as pointer.
635 * *.[hc]: adaptions to type macro fixes and changes in the type
638 * many const corrections over the place.
640 Sat Oct 21 02:49:56 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
642 * gtype.c (g_type_conforms_to): this function basically behaves like
643 and is_a check, except that it _additionally_ features interfaces
644 for instantiatable types. enforce this in the second branch as well
645 (`type' conforms_to `type') even if `type' is not an interface type.
647 Fri Oct 20 15:31:04 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
649 * gvaluetypes.[hc]: added G_TYPE_POINTER implementation from jrb.
653 * gvaluetypes.c: added GTypeValueTable.value_peek_pointer and
654 suitable implementations of this for G_TYPE_STRING, G_TYPE_OBJECT
657 Mon Aug 21 04:13:37 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
659 * gbsearcharray.[hc]: long standing needed generic implementation
660 of a binary searchable, sorted and dynamically sized array.
662 2000-10-15 Raja R Harinath <harinath@cs.umn.edu>
664 * Makefile.am (BUILT_EXTRA_DIST): New variable.

668 2000-09-29 Martin Baulig <baulig@suse.de>
670 Several minor ANSI C fixes.
673 * gtype.c (type_class_init):
674 `(gpointer) bnode->data->class.class_init_base'
675 in call to g_slist_prepend() and
676 'GBaseInitFunc class_init_base = (GBaseInitFunc) slist->data'.
678 * gobject.c: Put text following #endif into comments.
680 2000-09-25 Sebastian Wilhelmi <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>
682 * Makefile.am: Remove empty SUBDIRS line, as that prevents make
685 Sat Sep 9 20:04:13 2000 Owen Taylor <otaylor@redhat.com>
687 * gobject.c (g_object_last_unref): Move call to
688 g_type_free_instance() here from g_object_do_finalize,
689 since g_type_free_instance() can unload the object's
692 2000-07-27 Tor Lillqvist <tml@iki.fi>
694 * gobject.c: No, don't mark glib_debug_objects for export here,
695 it's handled specially in gtktypeutils.c.
697 * gobject.def: Export g_type_fundamental_last (the function).
699 2000-07-26 Tor Lillqvist <tml@iki.fi>
702 * gobject.c: Mark glib_debug_objects for export/import as it is
705 Sun Jul 23 17:23:35 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
707 * gtype.[hc]: make g_type_fundamental_last() a function, avoiding all
708 that extern variable clutter and avoiding further problems with thread
711 2000-07-19 Tor Lillqvist <tml@iki.fi>
716 * gtype.c: Shut up Sun's picky compiler.
718 2000-07-14 Tor Lillqvist <tml@iki.fi>
720 * gobject.def: Add g_type_get_plugin.
722 Thu Jul 13 02:07:54 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
724 * gparam.c (g_param_value_defaults): default initialize the temporary
725 default value, instead of nuking the caller's value contents.
727 2000-07-11 Raja R Harinath <harinath@cs.umn.edu>
729 * gtype.c (g_type_get_plugin): Don't return just 0 or 1.
731 Tue Jul 11 02:48:13 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
733 * gtype.[hc]: removed g_type_is_dynamic() and added g_type_get_plugin().
735 2000-07-10 Tor Lillqvist <tml@iki.fi>
737 * gobject-query.c: Include ../config.h for HAVE_UNISTD_H. Use it
738 to guard inclusion of <unistd.h>.
740 * gtype.h: Fix copy-paste errors in the ifdefs on how to declare a
741 variable for export. Call the macro GOBJECT_VAR.
743 * gtype.c: Declare _g_type_fundamental_last for export here, too.
744 (type_node_any_new): Use only constant expressions for sizeof
745 operator (for instance MSVC requires this).
747 * makefile.mingw.in: Define GOBJECT_COMPILATION.
749 Sun Jul 9 21:21:46 2000 Owen Taylor <otaylor@redhat.com>
751 * genums.c: Move string.h include into the .c file
752 instead of where it was in the .h file by mistake.
754 Thu Jul 6 15:30:27 2000 Owen Taylor <otaylor@redhat.com>
756 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): dist fixes.
758 * gobject.c: Add a global variable glib_debug_objects
759 (not in header file) to control object tracing.
761 2000-07-01 Tor Lillqvist <tml@iki.fi>
763 * gobject.def: Update added and renamed entry points.
765 * makefile.mingw.in: Add gvaluetypes.o.
767 Thu Jun 29 16:02:07 2000 Owen Taylor <otaylor@redhat.com>
769 * gobject.c:include string.h for memset
770 * genums.h: include string.h for strcpy
771 * gvalue.c: include string.h for memset, memcpy.
773 Sat Jun 24 23:03:04 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
775 * gtype.[hc]: provide G_TYPE_CHAR, G_TYPE_UCHAR, G_TYPE_BOOLEAN,
776 G_TYPE_INT, G_TYPE_UINT, G_TYPE_LONG, G_TYPE_ULONG, G_TYPE_FLOAT,
777 G_TYPE_DOUBLE and G_TYPE_STRING fundamental types.
778 added a GTypeValueTable* pointer to GTypeInfo structure for types
779 to implement GValue handling functions.
780 GTypeValueTable contains the following members:
781 value_init(): initialize a GValue structure.
782 value_free(): free GValue structure contents (optional).
783 value_copy(): copy one GValue contents to another GValue structure of
784 collect_type: varargs collection type for the first variable argument
785 to be collected by collect_value().
786 collect_value(): variable arguments collection function (optional).
787 lcopy_type: varargs collection type for the first variable argument
788 to be location copyied by lcopy_value().
789 lcopy_value(): variable arguments location copy function (optional).
790 g_type_value_table_peek(): new function to retrive the GTypeValueTable*
791 for a type node. ValueTables get inherited from parent types, unless
792 overridden through the GTypeInfo structure. internally, GTypeValueTable
793 support means an added overhead of one pointer per static or used
795 g_type_add_class_cache_func(): provide a cache_func/data pair to be
796 called prior to a type nodes last_unref() function, this can be used
797 to prevent premature class destruction. multiple installed cache_func()
798 will be chained upon last_unref() untill one of them returns TRUE.
799 the cache_func()s have to check the class id passed in to figure whether
800 they actually want to cache the class of this type (since all classes
801 are routed through the cache_func() chain).
802 g_type_remove_class_cache_func(): remove a previously installed
803 cache_func/data pair. the cache maintained by this function has to be
804 clear when calling g_type_remove_class_cache_func() to avoid leaks.
805 g_type_class_unref_uncached(): class unref function for cache_func()
806 implementations, unreferences a class omitting the cache chain (and
807 therefore unref->cache->unref->... loops).
809 * gvaluetypes.[hc]: provide the value setters/getters for the primitive
810 fundamental types boolean, char, uchar, int, uint, long, ulong, float,
813 * gvalue.[hc]: provide G_TYPE_IS_VALUE() in terms of whether a
814 GTypeValueTable is provided for this type.
815 removed g_value_init_default(), g_value_validate(), g_value_defaults(),
816 g_value_set_default() and g_values_cmp() as these are supplied by the
818 moved g_values_exchange() into the "implementation details" section,
819 since it just provides the underlying functionality for
822 * gvaluecollector.h: renamed the varargs value container from
823 GParamCValue to GTypeCValue as the value collection methods are
824 supplied by the type system now.
825 G_PARAM_COLLECT_VALUE() and G_PARAM_LCOPY_VALUE() got renamed to
826 G_VALUE_COLLECT() and G_VALUE_LCOPY() and operate without a
827 GParamSpec structure now.
829 * genums.h: macros cleanups/fixes.
831 * genum.c: provide G_TYPE_ENUM and G_TYPE_FLAGS type
832 and assorted g_value_{s|g}et_{enum|flags}() implementations.
835 provide G_IS_VALUE_OBJECT(), G_TYPE_OBJECT ValueTable methods
836 and g_value_{s|g}et_object().
838 * gparam.[hc]: reduced class to value_set_default(),
839 value_validate() and values_cmp(). also parameters now need to fill
840 in a GType value_type; field to indicate the GValue type they
841 are handling. provide g_param_value_set_default(),
842 g_param_value_defaults(), g_param_value_validate() and
843 g_param_values_cmp().
845 * gparamspecs.[hc]: got rid of the g_value_* functions and
846 the G_IS_VALUE_* macros. adapted param spec implementations
847 according to the GParamSpecClass changes.
849 Sat Jun 10 08:38:27 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
851 * gtype.c (type_class_init): fetch the nth iface entry of the
852 type node in the nth loop iteration, not alwys the first.
853 bug discovered by Walt Pohl <cher@suitware.com>.
854 (type_data_finalize_class_ifaces): same here, cut and paste
857 Wed Jun 7 09:21:05 2000 Owen Taylor <otaylor@redhat.com>
859 * Makefile.am (INCLUDES): Add top_builddir so glibconfig.h
860 is found properly when build srcdir != builddir. (Patch from
863 2000-05-13 Tor Lillqvist <tml@iki.fi>
867 * gobject.rc.in: New files, for Win32 (mingw) build.
869 * Makefile.am: Add to EXTRA_DIST. Add rules to produce the
870 corresponding non-*.in files.
872 * gtype.h: (Win32:) Mark _g_type_fundamental_last for
873 export/import from DLL.
875 Fri May 5 01:15:48 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
877 * gtype.h: add reserved fundamental ids for gtk types (for transition
878 time). added G_TYPE_FUNDAMENTAL_MAX for gtk.
880 Mon Apr 17 20:45:50 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
882 * glib-gobject.c (g_object_base_class_finalize): oops, don't unset
883 n_params prior to destructing them.
885 Tue Apr 11 04:28:10 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
887 * fixed a couple of bugs in the initial parameter/object
888 implementations, after getting beast running on GObject and GValue.
890 Fri Apr 7 04:27:49 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
892 * glib-gobject.[hc]: completed parameter set/get implementations,
893 along with asyncronous parameter changed notification queue.
895 Sun Apr 2 04:54:36 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
897 * glib-gobject.[hc]: GObject implementation, that is facilities
898 for setting/getting quarked data and reference counting.
900 * glib-gparamspecs.[hc]: first actuall parameter implementations
901 for GLib, so far we have: char, uchar, bool, int, uint, long,
902 ulong, enum, flags, float, double, string and object. each of these
903 GParamSpecs is a new instantiatable type in its own respect,
904 so the .c file derives 13 new types from G_TYPE_PARAM and
905 defines over 50 (*2) conversion facilities.
907 * glib-gvaluecollector.h: generic varargs handling stubs for
908 GParamSpecs, private header file (does get installed for
909 inclusion into user code though).
911 * glib-gvalue.[hc]: GValue functionality implementation.
913 * glib-gparam.[hc]: basis GParamSpec implementation for
914 the virtual base type G_TYPE_PARAM.
916 * glib-genums.[hc]: enum/flags type implementation, based on
919 * glib-gtype.[hc]: GLib Type System implementation, heavily
920 based on BSE's dynamic type system.
