1 2001-05-28 Sebastian Wilhelmi <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>
3 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Really distribute glib-mkenums, now
4 that bin_SCRIPTS doesn't seem to care about doing so anymore.
6 Mon May 28 06:51:24 2001 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
8 * gsignal.c (signal_emit_unlocked_R): fixed bad faux-pass, forgot
9 to release signal lock when restarting emissions.
11 Sun May 27 04:52:28 2001 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
13 * gsignal.[hc] (g_signal_stop_emission_by_name): added variant
14 to stop signal emissions through a detailed_signal string.
16 * gsignal.c (signal_emit_R) (g_signal_emit_valist): account for
17 the fact that g_value_* functions may cause signal emissons by
18 unlocking the global signal system lock around g_value_* functions.
19 (signal_emit_unlocked_R): renamed this from signal_emit_R() to reflect
20 that this functions acquires the lock on its own now.
22 2001-05-24 Hans Breuer <hans@breuer.org>
24 * makefile.msc.in : changed depndencies to build glib-genmarshal
25 first and statically linked with glib, which makes it independent
26 from the installed glib version. Added new object files to build.
28 * gobject.def : updated
30 Thu May 24 08:52:02 2001 Owen Taylor <otaylor@redhat.com>
32 * gobject.[ch] (g_value_set_object): gpointer, not
35 2001-05-22 Sebastian Wilhelmi <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>
37 * Makefile.am (bin_SCRIPTS): made 'make distcheck' happy.
39 * gobject.def: Removed g_param_spec_stringc.
41 Tue May 22 02:46:13 2001 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
43 * gobject.c (g_value_set_object): make g_value_set_object()
44 take a gpointer v_object so people don't need to G_OBJECT()
45 cast NULL pointers (C code convenience).
47 Mon May 14 01:49:01 2001 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
49 * gsignal.[hc] (g_signal_handler_is_connected): new function
50 to check whether a handler is still connected to an instance
53 Thu May 10 14:00:48 2001 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
55 * gparamspecs.[hc]: removed g_param_spec_stringc() in lack of
56 evidence of public need.
58 * gsignal.h: added g_signal_disconnect_by_func(),
59 g_signal_block_by_func() and g_signal_unblock_by_func() convenience
60 macros as per owen's request.
62 * gtype.c (SIZEOF_FUNDAMENTAL_INFO): align sizeof (GTypeFundamentalInfo)
63 to size of longs and pointers.
65 2001-05-05 James Henstridge <james@daa.com.au>
67 * Makefile.am: glib-mkenums is not a compiled program, so shouldn't
68 be in the bin_PROGRAMS primary. Put it in bin_SCRIPTS instead, and
69 removed the glib_mkenums_SOURCES var.
71 Thu May 3 06:10:23 2001 Owen Taylor <otaylor@redhat.com>
73 * gobject.c (g_object_set_[q]data_full): Make types of ternary
74 operator correspond. (Fixes compilation errors with Sun CC,
77 Mon Apr 30 20:03:56 2001 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
79 * glib-mkenums (usage): removed \v escaping, newer perl versions don't
80 support this, and it'S probably useless anyways.
82 Sat Apr 28 23:39:42 2001 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
84 * gsignal.[hc]: made signal handler and emission hook ids gulongs.
85 (signal_handlers_foreach_matched_R): only invoke callback for handlers
86 that are not disconnected (id>0).
87 (signal_emit_R): prevent invocation of signal handlers during the
88 emission they were connected within.
90 * glib-mkenums: publically installed perl-script to parse C code
91 enums and generate descriptions thereof.
92 * glib-mkenums.1: assorted man page.
94 2001-04-19 Havoc Pennington <hp@redhat.com>
96 * gobject.c (g_object_get_valist): We were returning junk memory
97 here, because we didn't copy the value (G_VALUE_NOCOPY_CONTENTS
98 passed to G_VALUE_LCOPY) and then we freed the GValue immediately
99 after. Removed G_VALUE_NOCOPY_CONTENTS from here; need a
100 G_VALUE_STEAL_CONTENTS or the like if we want this optimization.
102 Wed Apr 18 09:46:56 2001 Owen Taylor <otaylor@redhat.com>
104 * gobject.c gsignal.c: Change C++ comments for FIXME's to
105 C comments. (Patch from Andres Salomon)
107 2001-04-14 Hans Breuer <hans@breuer.org>
109 * gobject.def : updated
111 Mon Apr 9 18:56:15 2001 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
113 * gclosure.c (g_closure_invoke): only require marshal/meta_marshal if
114 we're valid (about to actually do marshalling).
116 Tue Apr 3 20:23:24 2001 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
120 Tue Apr 3 14:06:00 2001 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
122 * gparam.[hc]: added g_param_spec_pool_list() to list pspecs per
123 owner_type. the pspecs are not referenced, so the caller is
124 supposed to have some idea about owner_type not randomly
125 nuking his pspec's. if this is going to provide problems in
126 the future, we can either auto-ref the pspecs, or add a
127 _foreach variant, though the latter would have to invoke
128 the callback while pspec's mutex is acquired, so i just
129 went for the _list variant for now.
131 * gclosure.h (G_CALLBACK): made GCallback a void (*) (void) fucntion.
133 Sat Mar 31 23:55:58 2001 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
136 * gparamspecs.[hc]: applied patch from owen to implement
139 Fri Mar 30 07:34:02 2001 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
141 * gtype.c (type_iface_retrive_holder_info_Wm):
142 * gtypeplugin.c (g_type_plugin_complete_interface_info):
143 * gtypemodule.c (g_type_module_complete_interface_info):
144 change order of instance_type and interface_type so they match
145 the g_type_add_interface_*() API.
147 * gsignal.c (g_signal_emit_valist): always assign C return value
148 location, people depending on unaltered return values after emissions
149 that had no handlers to run need to use g_signal_emitv().
151 * gtype.[hc] (g_type_query): new function to allow querying of
152 class and object size (semantics like g_signal_query()).
153 currently the implementation is better held conservative so as to
154 only support types that are classed and static.
156 2001-03-29 Tor Lillqvist <tml@iki.fi>
158 * gobject.def: Updates.
160 Wed Mar 28 17:04:06 2001 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
162 * gobject.c (object_queue_property): only queue readable properties
163 for notification changes.
165 Thu Mar 22 13:36:50 2001 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
167 * gsignal.c (g_signal_newv): catch G_SIGNAL_RUN_FIRST with a return value.
169 2001-03-21 Martin Baulig <baulig@suse.de>
171 * gboxed.[ch] (g_value_dup_boxed): This takes a `const GValue *'
174 2001-03-18 Tor Lillqvist <tml@iki.fi>
176 * gobject.def: Correct some renamed functions.
178 Sat Mar 17 23:18:36 2001 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
180 * gobject.c (g_object_get_property): minor bug-fix.
182 * gbsearcharray.[hc]: provide a macro for static initialization and
183 functions g_bsearch_array_new() and g_bsearch_array_destroy() for
186 * gboxed.c: introduce G_TYPE_GSTRING, boxed type for GString.
188 * gclosure.[hc]: naming corrections.
190 Fri Mar 9 16:42:08 2001 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
192 * gvaluetypes.[hc]: moved g_strdup_value_contents() into this file as
193 a public function (was static in gobject.c before). it's a bit odd
194 to have that function here, especially since it requires extra includes,
195 but then it doesn't very well fit somewhere else either.
197 * gparamspecs.c: added default/max/min checks to param spec creation
200 2001-03-10 Tor Lillqvist <tml@iki.fi>
202 * gobject.def: Add a couple of missing entries.
204 * Makefile.am (libgobject_1_3_la_LIBADD): Use only on Win32.
206 Fri Mar 9 14:57:17 2001 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
208 * testgruntime.c: test program. covers run first/last/cleanup signal
209 handlers, return value accumulator, signal string returns, and
210 interface types in signal arguments.
212 * gtype.c (g_type_value_table_peek): for interface types without
213 value table, try looking up a value table from an instantiatable
214 prerequisite type (this is safe as an interface may only have
215 one instantiatable prerequisiste).
216 (type_check_is_value_type_U): same here.
218 * gsignal.c (g_signal_newv): assert that return types never have
219 G_SIGNAL_TYPE_STATIC_SCOPE set.
220 (g_signal_newc): only create class closure if the class_offset is not
223 Fri Mar 9 10:14:00 2001 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
225 * gparamspecs.c (g_param_spec_object): use g_type_is_a() to check
226 for object_type being a G_TYPE_OBJECT, not G_TYPE_IS_OBJECT(), since
227 that wouldn't allow interface types.
229 * gtype.c (g_type_interface_add_prerequisite): arg, fixed small cnp bug
230 with bad implications and an off-by-one error.
232 Thu Mar 8 16:34:22 2001 Owen Taylor <otaylor@redhat.com>
234 * gvaluetransform.c: Include <string.h> for memcpy.
236 * gvaluetransform.c (DEFINE_SPRINTF): Remove unnecessary
237 and ANSI-illegal ## token pasting.
239 Thu Mar 8 18:11:52 2001 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
241 * gsignal.c: eek, fixed old hook detail storage code.
243 Thu Mar 8 16:35:48 2001 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
245 * gparamspecs.[hc]: s/g_param_spec_string_c/g_param_spec_stringc/.
247 * gsignal.[hc]: fixed accumulator invocation, implemented emission
248 hooks. and no, neither of these callbacks are called via a closure,
249 language bindings can wrap the accumulator and emission hook
250 interface, they already get parameters marshalled into a GValue array.
251 (g_signal_connect): removed this function as its C specific, doesn't
252 cover the swapped argument, is too close to its broken original
253 gtk_signal_connect() and creates demand for _swapped, _after and
254 _swapped_after variants <brrr>.
255 (g_signal_connectc): convenience macro to connect a C handler
256 func with data, like the old g_signal_connect() plus swapped
260 * gboxed.c: added G_TYPE_VALUE boxed type.
262 Wed Mar 7 19:02:51 2001 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
264 * gtype.c (type_node_add_iface_entry_W): catch when adding an interface
265 to an ancestor of a child that already conforms to this interface.
266 currently we spew a warning here, should we be silent?
267 (g_type_interface_add_prerequisite): new function to add a prerequisite
268 type to an interface, that must succeed an instance is_a prerequisite
269 type check before the interface can be added to an instance. the
270 prerequisite types are also suuported in is_a checks of the interface.
271 (g_type_instance_is_a):
272 (g_type_check_instance_cast):
273 (g_type_check_instance): cleanups and optimizations.
275 (g_type_check_class_cast): same, also prevented these from accepting
276 interface types, as class structures don't nest interfaces.
278 2001-03-07 Sebastian Wilhelmi <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>
280 * Makefile.am: Avoid rebuilding everything everytime.
282 Wed Mar 7 09:36:33 2001 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
284 * gboxed.[hc]: changed prototype of g_boxed_type_register_static()
285 to contain an optional init function and a hint at whether the
286 boxed structure uses ref counting internally.
287 added g_value_set_boxed_take_ownership().
288 made G_TYPE_BOXED an abstract value type.
290 * genums.[hc]: made G_TYPE_ENUM and G_TYPE_FLAGS abstract value
293 * glib-genmarshal.c: argument type changes, preparation for third-party
296 * gobject.[hc]: cleaned up get/set property code.
297 added g_strdup_value_contents() to improve warnings.
299 * gparam.[hc]: added g_param_value_convert(), taking over responsibility
300 of the old g_value_convert(). added G_PARAM_LAX_VALIDATION flag so
301 validation alterations may be valid a part of the property setting
304 * gparamspecs.[hc]: made value comparisons stable (for sort applications).
305 added GParamSpecValueArray, a param spec for value arrays and
306 GParamSpecClosure. nuked the value exchange functions and
309 * gtype.[hc]: catch unintialized usages of the type system with
310 g_return_val_if_uninitialized(). introduced G_TYPE_FLAG_VALUE_ABSTRACT
311 to flag types that introduce a value table, but can't be used for
312 g_value_init(). cleaned up reserved type ids.
314 * gvalue.[hc]: code cleanups and saner checking.
315 nuked the value exchange API. implemented value transformations, we
316 can't really "convert" values, rather transforms are an anylogy to
317 C casts, real conversions need a param spec for validation, which is
318 why g_param_value_convert() does real conversions now.
320 * gvaluearray.[hc]: new files that implement a GValueArray, a struct
321 that can hold inhomogeneous arrays of value (to that extend that it
322 also allowes undefined values, i.e. G_VALUE_TYPE(value)==0).
323 this is exposed to the type system as a boxed type.
325 * gvaluetransform.c: new file implementing most of the former value
326 exchange functions as single-sided transformations.
328 * gvaluetypes.[hc]: nuked G_TYPE_CCALLBACK, added
329 g_value_set_string_take_ownership().
331 * *.h: s/G_IS_VALUE_/G_VALUE_HOLDS_/.
333 * *.[hc]: many fixes and cleanups.
335 * many warning improvements.
337 Tue Feb 27 18:35:15 2001 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
339 * gobject.c (g_object_get_valist): urg, pass G_VALUE_NOCOPY_CONTENTS
340 into G_VALUE_LCOPY(), this needs proper documenting.
342 * gparam.c: fixed G_PARAM_USER_MASK.
344 * gtype.c (type_data_make_W):
345 (type_data_last_unref_Wm): fixed invalid memory freeing.
347 * gobject.c (g_object_last_unref): destroy signal handlers associated
348 with object, right before finalization.
350 * gsignal.c (g_signal_parse_name): catch destroyed nodes or signals
351 that don't actually support details.
353 * gobject.[hc]: got rid of property trailers. nuked GObject
354 properties "data" and the "signal" variants.
355 (g_object_connect): new convenience function to do multiple
356 signal connections at once.
357 (g_object_disconnect): likewise, for disconnections.
359 * gparam.[hc] (g_param_spec_pool_lookup): took out trailer support.
361 * gvalue.[hc]: marked g_value_fits_pointer() and g_value_peek_pointer()
362 as private (the latter got renamed from g_value_get_as_pointer()).
364 2001-02-21 Tor Lillqvist <tml@iki.fi>
366 * *.h: Use G_BEGIN_DECLS and G_END_DECLS.
368 * Makefile.am: Use libglib-1.3.la from top_builddir. Invoke
369 libtool with -no-undefined for Win32 and Cygwin.
371 Wed Feb 21 18:31:46 2001 Jonathan Blandford <jrb@redhat.com>
373 * gsignal.h (g_signal_connect): Add g_signal_connect define to
374 make porting from gtk_signal_connect easy.
376 * gsignal.c (g_signal_emit_valist): Use G_TYPE_FROM_INSTANCE
377 (instance) instead of node->itype when initting the value.
379 2001-02-17 Havoc Pennington <hp@pobox.com>
381 Applied patch from Soeren Sandmann:
383 * gvaluetypes.c (g_value_get_string): G_CONST_RETURN
385 * gtype.c (g_type_name): G_CONST_RETURN
387 * gsignal.c (g_signal_name): G_CONST_RETURN
389 * gobject-query.c (main): const fix
391 Sat Feb 17 07:58:46 2001 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
393 * genums.h (G_TYPE_IS_FLAGS): patch from sven to fixup
394 G_ENUM_CLASS_TYPE() macro.
396 Sat Feb 17 04:55:35 2001 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
398 * gtype.[hc]: changed collect_format, collect_value() and lcopy_format,
399 lcopy_value() in the GTypeValueTable. the collect functions are now
400 called only once per value, collect_format/lcopy_format are strings
401 that enlist all necessary GTypeCValues to be varargs-collected.
403 * gvalue.h: ranamed STATIC_TAG to G_VALUE_NOCOPY_CONTENTS to indicate that
404 a value shouldn't copy its contents.
406 * gvaluecollector.h: changed G_VALUE_COLLECT() and G_VALUE_LCOPY()
407 macros to carry an additional argument (flags) that can be used
408 to pass G_VALUE_NOCOPY_CONTENTS along to the collection functions.
410 * *.c: adapted collect_value() and lcopy_value() functions to the new
411 prototypes, support G_VALUE_NOCOPY_CONTENTS where apropriate.
413 * gsignal.[hc]: introduced a G_SIGNAL_TYPE_STATIC_SCOPE flag that can
414 be passed along (ORed) with the parameter types, indicating that the
415 emission arguments are to be considered static for the scope of the
416 emission. should be used with care and only if the caller knows that
417 a parameter cannot be destroyed/freed from signal handlers connected
420 Fri Feb 16 07:10:44 2001 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
424 (g_closure_sink): make closure sinking explicit.
427 (g_signal_connect_data):
428 (g_signal_connect_closure):
429 (g_signal_connect_closure_by_id):
430 (g_signal_newv): perform explicit closure sinking.
432 Thu Feb 8 00:31:45 2001 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
434 * gtype.h: added G_TYPE_DEBUG_NONE for/from Eric Lemings ;)
436 2001-02-04 Tor Lillqvist <tml@iki.fi>
438 * gobject.def: Remove glib_debug_objects.
440 Sun Feb 4 07:30:53 2001 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
442 * gtype.[hc]: changed g_type_init() to take debugging flags
443 initially, a combination of G_TYPE_DEBUG_OBJECTS and
444 G_TYPE_DEBUG_SIGNALS. using the G_TYPE_ prefix is a bit odd
445 here, but basically g_type_int() serves as initialization
446 fucntion for all of GType, GObject, GSignal, so what the heck.
448 * gobject.c: special case debugging code properly.
449 changed glib_trap_object_ref to g_trap_object_ref.
451 * gsignal.c: add signal emission debugging abilities, along with
452 a new trap object g_trap_instance_signals.
454 2001-02-04 Tor Lillqvist <tml@iki.fi>
456 * Makefile.am (progs_LDADD): Change order of libs to libgobject
457 first, then libglib. Needed for cygwin, says jbdoll@kepri.re.kr.
459 Wed Jan 31 06:19:49 2001 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
461 * gparam.h: gtk-doc sucks for not dealing with #define inside enums.
463 * gtype.[hc]: added G_TYPE_FLAG_RESERVED_ID_BIT, a bit in the type
464 number that's supposed to be left untouched (preserved mainly
465 for the signal code).
467 * *.c: added thread safety code, based on an old patch from sebastian.
468 the remaining thread safety issues are now datalists on pspecs (to be
469 solved im gdataset.c) and gvalue.c where locking concerns value exchange
470 functionality only, and that's soon to be revised.
472 2001-01-27 Tor Lillqvist <tml@iki.fi>
474 * makefile.msc.in: Don't try to compile gmarshal.c on its own.
476 2001-01-24 <alexl@redhat.com>
478 * gclosure.c (g_closure_unref):
479 Don't leak closure->notifiers.
481 2001-01-05 Havoc Pennington <hp@redhat.com>
483 * gparamspecs.c (g_param_spec_enum): set the value_type in the
484 param spec; closes bug 40210
485 (g_param_spec_flags): ditto for flags
487 2001-01-03 Alexander Larsson <alexl@redhat.com>
490 Move glib_debug_objects out of the G_ENABLE_DEBUG #ifdef.
492 Thu Dec 28 11:36:44 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
494 * gbsearcharray.c (upper_power2): disable G_BSEARCH_ALIGN_POWER2
495 fucntionality if DISABLE_MEM_POOLS is defined.
497 * gtype.c: honour DISABLE_MEM_POOLS.
499 * gsignal.c (g_signal_init): flag signal key bsearch array with
500 G_BSEARCH_ALIGN_POWER2 to avoid excessive growth time. honour
503 * gparam.h: added G_PARAM_READWRITE alias for (G_PARAM_READABLE |
506 2000-12-15 Tor Lillqvist <tml@iki.fi>
508 * gobject.def: Update.
510 2000-12-15 Havoc Pennington <hp@pobox.com>
512 * gobject.c (g_object_do_class_init): use g_signal_newc
514 * gsignal.c (g_signal_newc): convenience function for signals
516 (g_signal_new_valist): added
517 (g_signal_new): removed
519 Fri Dec 15 04:40:23 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
521 * gparam.[hc]: add an instance member value_type so the default
522 value of the pspec class can be overridden.
524 2000-12-14 Tor Lillqvist <tml@iki.fi>
526 * makefile.mingw.in: Update, include parts from Makefile.am to
527 build gmarshal.[ch]. Some day, we won't need these separate
528 makefiles for Win32 compilation. I hope.
530 * makefile.msc.in: Update. No use trying to build gmarshal.[ch]
531 here, it would require Unixish tools. MSVC users building from CVS
532 sources are out of luck.
534 * gobject.def: Update.
536 Wed Dec 13 09:31:26 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
538 * gparamspecs.[hc]: add G_TYPE_PARAM_BOXED implementation.
540 * gobject.[hc]: minor fixes.
542 Tue Dec 12 23:38:02 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
544 * Makefile.am: _never_ touch oldest-source-stamp.
546 * gobject.[hc]: construct property handling fixes/improvements.
547 fixed trailer handling in get/set property.
549 * gparam.[hc]: implement param spec pool, got rid of param spec
550 hashtable. the most prominent change is that e deal with type
553 2000-12-12 Elliot Lee <sopwith@redhat.com>
556 . You have to 'touch oldest-source-stamp' if you want to avoid having
557 the Makefile constantly rebuild itself.
558 . Fix marshaller generation rules to work with srcdir != builddir
559 (there were issues with trying to run "./glib-genmarshal", etc.)
561 Mon Dec 11 04:44:11 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
563 * gboxed.c: fixed dealing with collection/lcopy of NULL values.
565 * gclosure.h: removed insane ramblings, added G_CALLBACK() a casting
568 * Makefile.am: cleanups, marshaller generation rules.
570 * gmarshal.[hc]: new files with GRuntime standard marshallers.
572 * glib-genmarshal.c: fix log domain, support gruntime standard
573 marshallers, suport G_TYPE_PARAM, come with extern "C" and
576 * glib-genmarshal.1: reflect glib-genmarshal.c updates.
578 * gobject.[hc]: implement object constructor. rework parameter
579 changed notification queueing, we support queue freezes now and
580 don't dispatch from an idle handler anymore.
581 parameter->property rename hassle.
582 implemented ::properties_changed and ::notify::* signals for
583 property change notification (the later supports property names
584 as details). added signal connection and named data properties.
585 (g_signal_connect_object): new function to setup while_alive
587 (g_object_class_install_property): sink properties now, since they
588 are initially floating.
589 (g_object_steal_data):
590 (g_object_set_data_full):
592 (g_object_get_data): set/get data by using g_datalist_*() functions
594 (g_object_queue_param_changed): nuked.
595 (g_object_freeze_notify): start queueing of property changes (freeze/
597 (g_object_notify): announce changes of a certain property directly.
598 (g_object_thaw_notify): process queue of property changes, therefore
599 emitting GObject::notify::detail with detail being the changed
601 (G_OBJECT_WARN_INVALID_PROPERTY_ID): saner macro variant of former
602 G_WARN_INVALID_PARAM_ID().
604 * gparam.[hc]: param specs are now initially floating and need to be
605 sunken with g_param_spec_sink(), support G_TYPE_PARAM values.
606 added G_PARAM_CONSTRUCT and G_PARAM_CONSTRUCT_ONLY parameter flags,
607 required by GObjectClass.constructor().
609 * gparamspecs.[hc]: added GParamSpecParam, GParamSpecPointer and
610 GParamSpecCCallback, param specs for G_TYPE_PARAM, G_TYPE_POINTER
611 and G_TYPE_CCALLBACK respectively.
613 * gsignal.[hc]: cleanups.
614 (signal_id_lookup): after walking the anchestry, try interfaces as well.
615 (g_signal_new): new function to create signals from varargs type list.
616 (g_signal_connect_closure): closure connection variant that works from
618 (g_signal_connect_data): c handler connection variant that works from
620 (g_signal_emit_valist): emit signal for an instance with paraneters
621 collected from a va_list.
622 (g_signal_emit): emit signal, taking parameters from varargs list.
623 (g_signal_emit_by_name): same as g_signal_emit, working from
625 (signal_emit_R): return whether return_value needs to be altered.
627 * gtype.[hc]: set log-domain to GRuntime, i'm slowly getting to all
628 the points that need to reflect the upcoming rename.
629 melt g_type_conforms_to() functionality into g_type_is_a(), as that
630 is what we really want (liskov substitution principle).
631 assorted changes to other files due to conforms_to->is_a.
633 * gvalue.[hc]: implemented g_value_set_instance() that sets a value
634 from an instantiatable type via the value_table's collect_value()
635 function (based on an idea from James Henstridge <james@daa.com.au>).
638 * gvaluetypes.[hc]: implement G_TYPE_CCALLBACK and G_TYPE_PARAM.
640 Wed Nov 29 13:30:05 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
642 * gsignal.c (handlers_find): fix elliots "logic fix" that dereferences
643 NULL nodes if C handlers are searched for specific signals.
645 2000-11-28 Elliot Lee <sopwith@redhat.com>
647 * gsignal.c: Fix warnings about possible use of uninitialized
648 variables, and fix logic that would leave 'node' unset in cases
649 that it might be used in.
651 * glib-genmarshal.c: Fix warning about printf format.
653 2000-11-28 Tor Lillqvist <tml@iki.fi>
655 * gboxed.c: Include <string.h> for memset ().
657 2000-11-22 Tor Lillqvist <tml@iki.fi>
659 * gobject.def: Update.
661 2000-11-20 Havoc Pennington <hp@redhat.com>
663 * gobject.c (g_object_get_data)
665 (g_object_set_data_full)
666 (g_object_steal_data): More convenient data-setting functions
668 Wed Nov 15 20:58:05 2000 Owen Taylor <otaylor@redhat.com>
670 * gtypemodule.c (g_type_module_use): If loading the
671 module fails, don't increment the use count.
673 Thu Nov 9 01:49:43 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
675 * gobject.h (G_WARN_INVALID_PARAM_ID): doh,
676 s/BSE_OBJECT_TYPE_NAME/G_OBJECT_TYPE_NAME/; reported by Maas-Maarten
677 Zeeman <maas@wanadoo.nl>.
679 Mon Nov 13 00:48:39 2000 Owen Taylor <otaylor@redhat.com>
681 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add glib-genmarshal.1
683 2000-11-11 Tor Lillqvist <tml@iki.fi>

689 * gobject.def: Add missing functions.
691 Sun Nov 5 13:21:28 2000 Owen Taylor <otaylor@redhat.com>
693 * Makefile.am gtypemodule.[ch]: New basic implementation of
694 GTypePlugin interface as a GObject. Dynamically loaded modules can
695 register any number of types and interface on the module.
697 Sun Nov 5 10:25:40 2000 Owen Taylor <otaylor@redhat.com>
699 * gsignal.c (handlers_find): When appending handlers and
700 not matching on signal_id, use hlist->signal_id instead of
701 signal_id. Having the correct signal_id when unreffing
702 the handlers makes things work a lot better.
704 2000-11-05 Tor Lillqvist <tml@iki.fi>
706 * makefile.{mingw,msc}.in (gobject_OBJECTS): Add gtypeplugin.
708 * gobject.def: Update.
710 Sun Nov 5 05:22:55 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
713 fixed a bag full of subtle bugs of immensive screw-up potential in
714 handlers_find(), luckily no one found out about them yet ;)
715 fixed signal_handlers_foreach_matched_R() so it operates on an
716 initial handler list snapshot provided by handlers_find() to work
717 around general reentrancy problems and to avoid multiple callback()
718 invocations on the same handlers.
719 this code is now officially 80% bug free (10% remaining for interface
720 types, and 10% remaining for destroyed signals ;)
722 Sat Nov 4 02:01:33 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
724 * gsignal.c (_g_signals_destroy): valid signal nodes start out at 1.
726 * gtypeplugin.[hc]: new files holding a GTypePlugin interface
727 implementation that provides the API required by GType to deal with
728 dynamically loadable types.
730 * gtype.[hc]: displace any GTypePlugin business to gtypeplugin.h.
732 Fri Nov 3 07:35:00 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
734 * gsignal.[hc]: prefix internal functions with '_'. renamed
735 g_signal_connect_closure() to g_signal_connect_closure_by_id().
736 added g_signal_parse_name() to retrive signal_id and detail quark
737 from a signal name (internal).
739 Wed Nov 1 03:36:54 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
741 * gobject.c (g_object_base_class_finalize): destroy all signals that
742 the finalized obejct type introduced.
744 * gsignal.c (g_signals_destroy): don't require itype to have
747 * gobject.c (g_object_do_finalize): make sure all signal handlers
751 (g_signal_handler_find): only match on non-0 masks.
752 (g_signal_handlers_block_matched):
753 (g_signal_handlers_unblock_matched):
754 (g_signal_handlers_disconnect_matched): new functions to block/unblock
755 or disconnect handlers in groups.
757 2000-10-30 Sebastian Wilhelmi <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>
759 * gvalue.c (exchange_entries_equal), gparam.c (param_spec_equals):
760 made both functions return gboolean just for the little extra
761 standard conformance now that GEqualFunc is introduced.
763 Mon Oct 30 05:52:45 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
765 * gsignal.c (g_signal_list_ids): get rid of inline documentation owen
766 added, the doc system would ignore it anyways (for some reason not
769 Mon Oct 30 03:00:07 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
771 * gsignal.[hc] (g_signal_list_ids): renamed owen's g_type_signals(),
772 added required mutex locks.
774 Sun Oct 29 02:31:03 2000 Owen Taylor <otaylor@redhat.com>
776 * gsignal.c (g_type_signals): Fix problem where signals
777 with "_" in them appeared twice in the result array.
779 Sun Oct 29 01:58:44 2000 Owen Taylor <otaylor@redhat.com>
781 * gsignal.h: Add g_type_signals() - a function to list
782 all signals for a given type.
784 Sat Oct 28 00:28:09 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
786 * gclosure.c (g_closure_add_marshal_guards): fixed notifier position
787 for post_marshal guard which was off at 0.
789 Fri Oct 27 21:49:31 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
791 * gobject.[hc]: doh, fix argument order in for
792 g_cclosure_new_object_swap and g_cclosure_new_object.
794 2000-10-28 Tor Lillqvist <tml@iki.fi>
796 * makefile.{mingw,msc}.in: Make glib-genmarshal.exe.
798 * glib-genmarshal.c: Conditionalise include of unistd.h.
799 Include <io.h> on Win32.
801 * gobject.def: Add some missing entry points.
803 Fri Oct 27 16:33:41 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
805 * gsignal.[hc]: publically define GSignalInvocationHint structure
806 that gets passed in to closure invocations. added signal details.
807 renamed GSignalType to GSignalFlags to comply with conventions.
808 quite some cleanups and minor fixes. avoid uneccessary handler list
809 walks upon invokation of after handlers. relookup handler list for
810 restarted emissions. preliminary abort normal handler invokation if
811 after handler is encountered.
814 * gclosure.[hc]: moved invocation_hint to the end of the
815 g_closure_invoke() arguments as sugegsted by kenelson.
816 also made it a gpointer to be more generic. the invocation_hint
817 is a caller specific thing that can be used to pass additional
818 data in to closure invocations as documented with the caller
819 invoking the closure.
821 Fri Oct 27 05:35:14 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
823 * gobject.c (g_object_watch_closure): fixed realloc bug, reported
826 * gsignal.c (g_signal_newv): fixed deadlock scenarion where
827 g_signal_lookup() would be called with the signal lock being
828 held. reported by james henstridge.
830 * gclosure.c (g_closure_set_meta_marshal): fixed memcpy/overwrite bug
833 2000-10-26 Tor Lillqvist <tml@iki.fi>
835 * gbsearcharray.c (bsearch_array_insert): Fix gccisms (pointer
836 arithmetic on void pointer, label without statement following.
838 * gtype.c (type_node_fundamental_info): Don't apply unary minus to
839 result of sizeof operator, it can be unsigned. Cast first to
842 * gobject.def: Add new functions.
844 * makefile.{mingw,msc}.in: Add new objects.
846 2000-10-26 Sebastian Wilhelmi <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>
848 * Makefile.am: Remove empty SUBDIRS line _again_, as that _still_
849 prevents 'make dist' from working.
851 Wed Oct 25 19:11:03 2000 Owen Taylor <otaylor@redhat.com>
853 * gbsearcharray.h (g_bsearch_array_get_nth): Don't use implicit
854 casts from void * since this will get included from C++ too
857 Thu Oct 26 00:30:27 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
859 * gvaluetypes.[hc]: added g_value_set_static_string().
861 * gboxed.[hc]: const corrections. added g_value_set_static_boxed().
863 Wed Oct 25 20:27:02 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
865 * gtype.c (g_type_free_instance): for the moment, freeing object
866 structures will fill their memory portion with 0xAA. there's a
867 FIXME there, remove this line at a later point.
869 Tue Oct 24 23:10:26 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
872 * glib-genmarshal.c: added publically installed marshaller generator.
874 * gtype.h: added G_TYPE_INSTANCE_GET_INTERFACE() to retrive a certain
875 interface VTable from instances.
877 Mon Oct 23 08:28:15 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
879 * gobject.[hc]: new functions for closure maintenance:
880 (g_object_watch_closure): maintain validity of the object and
881 the closure for objects that are used as data part of a closure.
882 (g_cclosure_new_object): convenience function to create C closures
883 that have an object as data argument.
884 (g_closure_new_object): convenience function to create closures
885 that have an object as data argument.
887 * gclosure.[hc]: implementation of GClosure mechanism.
888 a closure is basically an encapsulation of a callback function
889 and its environment. ideally, most places supporting callback
890 functions will simply take a GClosure* pointer and thus unify
891 callback environments wrg destroy notification etc.
892 GClosure provides destroy notifiers for arbitrary data pointers,
893 reference counting, invalidation notification (it can be invalidated
894 which is merely a deactivate state) and a marshallinbg abstraction.
895 GCClosure is also provided in these files, they present a specialized
896 GClosure implementation for C language callbacks.
898 * genum.c: macro cleanups.
900 * gboxed.[hc]: new files, for boxed type abstraction.
901 (g_boxed_copy): copy a boxed structure
902 (g_boxed_free): free a boxed structure
904 (g_value_get_boxed): standard GValue functions for boxed types
905 (g_boxed_type_register_static): convenience function for easy
906 introduction of new G_TYPE_BOXED derivatives.
908 * gparam.[hc]: introduced g_param_type_register_static(), a short hand
909 for creation of new GParamSpec derived types.
911 * gtype.[hc]: many fixes, introduced ability to flag individual
912 type nodes as ABSTRACT upon registration, added value_peek_pointer()
913 to the value table to peek at GValue contents as a pointer for types
914 that support this. fixed up GValue checks.
916 * gvalue.[hc]: added g_value_fits_pointer() and g_value_get_as_pointer()
917 to peek at the value contents as pointer.
919 * *.[hc]: adaptions to type macro fixes and changes in the type
922 * many const corrections over the place.
924 Sat Oct 21 02:49:56 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
926 * gtype.c (g_type_conforms_to): this function basically behaves like
927 and is_a check, except that it _additionally_ features interfaces
928 for instantiatable types. enforce this in the second branch as well
929 (`type' conforms_to `type') even if `type' is not an interface type.
931 Fri Oct 20 15:31:04 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
933 * gvaluetypes.[hc]: added G_TYPE_POINTER implementation from jrb.
937 * gvaluetypes.c: added GTypeValueTable.value_peek_pointer and
938 suitable implementations of this for G_TYPE_STRING, G_TYPE_OBJECT
941 Mon Aug 21 04:13:37 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
943 * gbsearcharray.[hc]: long standing needed generic implementation
944 of a binary searchable, sorted and dynamically sized array.
946 2000-10-15 Raja R Harinath <harinath@cs.umn.edu>
948 * Makefile.am (BUILT_EXTRA_DIST): New variable.
949 (dist-hook): Handle $(BUILT_EXTRA_DIST).
950 (*): Remove traces of @STRIP_{BEGIN,END}@.
952 2000-09-29 Martin Baulig <baulig@suse.de>
954 Several minor ANSI C fixes.
957 * gtype.c (type_class_init):
958 `(gpointer) bnode->data->class.class_init_base'
959 in call to g_slist_prepend() and
960 'GBaseInitFunc class_init_base = (GBaseInitFunc) slist->data'.
962 * gobject.c: Put text following #endif into comments.
964 2000-09-25 Sebastian Wilhelmi <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>
966 * Makefile.am: Remove empty SUBDIRS line, as that prevents make
969 Sat Sep 9 20:04:13 2000 Owen Taylor <otaylor@redhat.com>
971 * gobject.c (g_object_last_unref): Move call to
972 g_type_free_instance() here from g_object_do_finalize,
973 since g_type_free_instance() can unload the object's
976 2000-07-27 Tor Lillqvist <tml@iki.fi>
978 * gobject.c: No, don't mark glib_debug_objects for export here,
979 it's handled specially in gtktypeutils.c.
981 * gobject.def: Export g_type_fundamental_last (the function).
983 2000-07-26 Tor Lillqvist <tml@iki.fi>
986 * gobject.c: Mark glib_debug_objects for export/import as it is
989 Sun Jul 23 17:23:35 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
991 * gtype.[hc]: make g_type_fundamental_last() a function, avoiding all
992 that extern variable clutter and avoiding further problems with thread
995 2000-07-19 Tor Lillqvist <tml@iki.fi>
1000 * gtype.c: Shut up Sun's picky compiler.
1002 2000-07-14 Tor Lillqvist <tml@iki.fi>
1004 * gobject.def: Add g_type_get_plugin.
1006 Thu Jul 13 02:07:54 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
1008 * gparam.c (g_param_value_defaults): default initialize the temporary
1009 default value, instead of nuking the caller's value contents.
1011 2000-07-11 Raja R Harinath <harinath@cs.umn.edu>
1013 * gtype.c (g_type_get_plugin): Don't return just 0 or 1.
1015 Tue Jul 11 02:48:13 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
1017 * gtype.[hc]: removed g_type_is_dynamic() and added g_type_get_plugin().
1019 2000-07-10 Tor Lillqvist <tml@iki.fi>
1021 * gobject-query.c: Include ../config.h for HAVE_UNISTD_H. Use it
1022 to guard inclusion of <unistd.h>.
1024 * gtype.h: Fix copy-paste errors in the ifdefs on how to declare a
1025 variable for export. Call the macro GOBJECT_VAR.
1027 * gtype.c: Declare _g_type_fundamental_last for export here, too.
1028 (type_node_any_new): Use only constant expressions for sizeof
1029 operator (for instance MSVC requires this).
1031 * makefile.mingw.in: Define GOBJECT_COMPILATION.
1033 Sun Jul 9 21:21:46 2000 Owen Taylor <otaylor@redhat.com>
1035 * genums.c: Move string.h include into the .c file
1036 instead of where it was in the .h file by mistake.
1038 Thu Jul 6 15:30:27 2000 Owen Taylor <otaylor@redhat.com>
1040 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): dist fixes.
1042 * gobject.c: Add a global variable glib_debug_objects
1043 (not in header file) to control object tracing.
1045 2000-07-01 Tor Lillqvist <tml@iki.fi>
1047 * gobject.def: Update added and renamed entry points.
1049 * makefile.mingw.in: Add gvaluetypes.o.
1051 Thu Jun 29 16:02:07 2000 Owen Taylor <otaylor@redhat.com>
1053 * gobject.c:include string.h for memset
1054 * genums.h: include string.h for strcpy
1055 * gvalue.c: include string.h for memset, memcpy.
1057 Sat Jun 24 23:03:04 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
1059 * gtype.[hc]: provide G_TYPE_CHAR, G_TYPE_UCHAR, G_TYPE_BOOLEAN,
1060 G_TYPE_INT, G_TYPE_UINT, G_TYPE_LONG, G_TYPE_ULONG, G_TYPE_FLOAT,
1061 G_TYPE_DOUBLE and G_TYPE_STRING fundamental types.
1062 added a GTypeValueTable* pointer to GTypeInfo structure for types
1063 to implement GValue handling functions.
1064 GTypeValueTable contains the following members:
1065 value_init(): initialize a GValue structure.
1066 value_free(): free GValue structure contents (optional).
1067 value_copy(): copy one GValue contents to another GValue structure of
1068 collect_type: varargs collection type for the first variable argument
1069 to be collected by collect_value().
1070 collect_value(): variable arguments collection function (optional).
1071 lcopy_type: varargs collection type for the first variable argument
1072 to be location copyied by lcopy_value().
1073 lcopy_value(): variable arguments location copy function (optional).
1074 g_type_value_table_peek(): new function to retrive the GTypeValueTable*
1075 for a type node. ValueTables get inherited from parent types, unless
1076 overridden through the GTypeInfo structure. internally, GTypeValueTable
1077 support means an added overhead of one pointer per static or used
1079 g_type_add_class_cache_func(): provide a cache_func/data pair to be
1080 called prior to a type nodes last_unref() function, this can be used
1081 to prevent premature class destruction. multiple installed cache_func()
1082 will be chained upon last_unref() untill one of them returns TRUE.
1083 the cache_func()s have to check the class id passed in to figure whether
1084 they actually want to cache the class of this type (since all classes
1085 are routed through the cache_func() chain).
1086 g_type_remove_class_cache_func(): remove a previously installed
1087 cache_func/data pair. the cache maintained by this function has to be
1088 clear when calling g_type_remove_class_cache_func() to avoid leaks.
1089 g_type_class_unref_uncached(): class unref function for cache_func()
1090 implementations, unreferences a class omitting the cache chain (and
1091 therefore unref->cache->unref->... loops).
1093 * gvaluetypes.[hc]: provide the value setters/getters for the primitive
1094 fundamental types boolean, char, uchar, int, uint, long, ulong, float,
1097 * gvalue.[hc]: provide G_TYPE_IS_VALUE() in terms of whether a
1098 GTypeValueTable is provided for this type.
1099 removed g_value_init_default(), g_value_validate(), g_value_defaults(),
1100 g_value_set_default() and g_values_cmp() as these are supplied by the
1102 moved g_values_exchange() into the "implementation details" section,
1103 since it just provides the underlying functionality for
1106 * gvaluecollector.h: renamed the varargs value container from
1107 GParamCValue to GTypeCValue as the value collection methods are
1108 supplied by the type system now.
1109 G_PARAM_COLLECT_VALUE() and G_PARAM_LCOPY_VALUE() got renamed to
1110 G_VALUE_COLLECT() and G_VALUE_LCOPY() and operate without a
1111 GParamSpec structure now.
1113 * genums.h: macros cleanups/fixes.
1115 * genum.c: provide G_TYPE_ENUM and G_TYPE_FLAGS type
1116 and assorted g_value_{s|g}et_{enum|flags}() implementations.
1119 provide G_IS_VALUE_OBJECT(), G_TYPE_OBJECT ValueTable methods
1120 and g_value_{s|g}et_object().
1122 * gparam.[hc]: reduced class to value_set_default(),
1123 value_validate() and values_cmp(). also parameters now need to fill
1124 in a GType value_type; field to indicate the GValue type they
1125 are handling. provide g_param_value_set_default(),
1126 g_param_value_defaults(), g_param_value_validate() and
1127 g_param_values_cmp().
1129 * gparamspecs.[hc]: got rid of the g_value_* functions and
1130 the G_IS_VALUE_* macros. adapted param spec implementations
1131 according to the GParamSpecClass changes.
1133 Sat Jun 10 08:38:27 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
1135 * gtype.c (type_class_init): fetch the nth iface entry of the
1136 type node in the nth loop iteration, not alwys the first.
1137 bug discovered by Walt Pohl <cher@suitware.com>.
1138 (type_data_finalize_class_ifaces): same here, cut and paste
1141 Wed Jun 7 09:21:05 2000 Owen Taylor <otaylor@redhat.com>
1143 * Makefile.am (INCLUDES): Add top_builddir so glibconfig.h
1144 is found properly when build srcdir != builddir. (Patch from
1147 2000-05-13 Tor Lillqvist <tml@iki.fi>
1151 * gobject.rc.in: New files, for Win32 (mingw) build.
1153 * Makefile.am: Add to EXTRA_DIST. Add rules to produce the
1154 corresponding non-*.in files.
1156 * gtype.h: (Win32:) Mark _g_type_fundamental_last for
1157 export/import from DLL.
1159 Fri May 5 01:15:48 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
1161 * gtype.h: add reserved fundamental ids for gtk types (for transition
1162 time). added G_TYPE_FUNDAMENTAL_MAX for gtk.
1164 Mon Apr 17 20:45:50 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
1166 * glib-gobject.c (g_object_base_class_finalize): oops, don't unset
1167 n_params prior to destructing them.
1169 Tue Apr 11 04:28:10 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
1171 * fixed a couple of bugs in the initial parameter/object
1172 implementations, after getting beast running on GObject and GValue.
1174 Fri Apr 7 04:27:49 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
1176 * glib-gobject.[hc]: completed parameter set/get implementations,
1177 along with asyncronous parameter changed notification queue.
1179 Sun Apr 2 04:54:36 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
1181 * glib-gobject.[hc]: GObject implementation, that is facilities
1182 for setting/getting quarked data and reference counting.
1184 * glib-gparamspecs.[hc]: first actuall parameter implementations
1185 for GLib, so far we have: char, uchar, bool, int, uint, long,
1186 ulong, enum, flags, float, double, string and object. each of these
1187 GParamSpecs is a new instantiatable type in its own respect,
1188 so the .c file derives 13 new types from G_TYPE_PARAM and
1189 defines over 50 (*2) conversion facilities.
1191 * glib-gvaluecollector.h: generic varargs handling stubs for
1192 GParamSpecs, private header file (does get installed for
1193 inclusion into user code though).
1195 * glib-gvalue.[hc]: GValue functionality implementation.
1197 * glib-gparam.[hc]: basis GParamSpec implementation for
1198 the virtual base type G_TYPE_PARAM.
1200 * glib-genums.[hc]: enum/flags type implementation, based on
1203 * glib-gtype.[hc]: GLib Type System implementation, heavily
1204 based on BSE's dynamic type system.
