1 2001-03-10 Tor Lillqvist <tml@iki.fi>
3 * gobject.def: Add a couple of missing entries.
5 * Makefile.am (libgobject_1_3_la_LIBADD): Use only on Win32.
7 Fri Mar 9 14:57:17 2001 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
9 * testgruntime.c: test program. covers run first/last/cleanup signal
10 handlers, return value accumulator, signal string returns, and
11 interface types in signal arguments.
13 * gtype.c (g_type_value_table_peek): for interface types without
14 value table, try looking up a value table from an instantiatable
15 prerequisite type (this is safe as an interface may only have
16 one instantiatable prerequisiste).
17 (type_check_is_value_type_U): same here.
19 * gsignal.c (g_signal_newv): assert that return types never have
20 G_SIGNAL_TYPE_STATIC_SCOPE set.
21 (g_signal_newc): only create class closure if the class_offset is not
24 Fri Mar 9 10:14:00 2001 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
26 * gparamspecs.c (g_param_spec_object): use g_type_is_a() to check
27 for object_type being a G_TYPE_OBJECT, not G_TYPE_IS_OBJECT(), since
28 that wouldn't allow interface types.
30 * gtype.c (g_type_interface_add_prerequisite): arg, fixed small cnp bug
31 with bad implications and an off-by-one error.
33 Thu Mar 8 16:34:22 2001 Owen Taylor <otaylor@redhat.com>
35 * gvaluetransform.c: Include <string.h> for memcpy.
37 * gvaluetransform.c (DEFINE_SPRINTF): Remove unnecessary
38 and ANSI-illegal ## token pasting.
40 Thu Mar 8 18:11:52 2001 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
42 * gsignal.c: eek, fixed old hook detail storage code.
44 Thu Mar 8 16:35:48 2001 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
46 * gparamspecs.[hc]: s/g_param_spec_string_c/g_param_spec_stringc/.
48 * gsignal.[hc]: fixed accumulator invocation, implemented emission
49 hooks. and no, neither of these callbacks are called via a closure,
50 language bindings can wrap the accumulator and emission hook
51 interface, they already get parameters marshalled into a GValue array.
52 (g_signal_connect): removed this function as its C specific, doesn't
53 cover the swapped argument, is too close to its broken original
54 gtk_signal_connect() and creates demand for _swapped, _after and
55 _swapped_after variants <brrr>.
56 (g_signal_connectc): convenience macro to connect a C handler
57 func with data, like the old g_signal_connect() plus swapped
61 * gboxed.c: added G_TYPE_VALUE boxed type.
63 Wed Mar 7 19:02:51 2001 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
65 * gtype.c (type_node_add_iface_entry_W): catch when adding an interface
66 to an ancestor of a child that already conforms to this interface.
67 currently we spew a warning here, should we be silent?
68 (g_type_interface_add_prerequisite): new function to add a prerequisite
69 type to an interface, that must succeed an instance is_a prerequisite
70 type check before the interface can be added to an instance. the
71 prerequisite types are also suuported in is_a checks of the interface.
72 (g_type_instance_is_a):
73 (g_type_check_instance_cast):
74 (g_type_check_instance): cleanups and optimizations.
76 (g_type_check_class_cast): same, also prevented these from accepting
77 interface types, as class structures don't nest interfaces.
79 2001-03-07 Sebastian Wilhelmi <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>
81 * Makefile.am: Avoid rebuilding everything everytime.
83 Wed Mar 7 09:36:33 2001 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
85 * gboxed.[hc]: changed prototype of g_boxed_type_register_static()
86 to contain an optional init function and a hint at whether the
87 boxed structure uses ref counting internally.
88 added g_value_set_boxed_take_ownership().
89 made G_TYPE_BOXED an abstract value type.
91 * genums.[hc]: made G_TYPE_ENUM and G_TYPE_FLAGS abstract value
94 * glib-genmarshal.c: argument type changes, preparation for third-party
97 * gobject.[hc]: cleaned up get/set property code.
98 added g_strdup_value_contents() to improve warnings.
100 * gparam.[hc]: added g_param_value_convert(), taking over responsibility
101 of the old g_value_convert(). added G_PARAM_LAX_VALIDATION flag so
102 validation alterations may be valid a part of the property setting
105 * gparamspecs.[hc]: made value comparisons stable (for sort applications).
106 added GParamSpecValueArray, a param spec for value arrays and
107 GParamSpecClosure. nuked the value exchange functions and
110 * gtype.[hc]: catch unintialized usages of the type system with
111 g_return_val_if_uninitialized(). introduced G_TYPE_FLAG_VALUE_ABSTRACT
112 to flag types that introduce a value table, but can't be used for
113 g_value_init(). cleaned up reserved type ids.
115 * gvalue.[hc]: code cleanups and saner checking.
116 nuked the value exchange API. implemented value transformations, we
117 can't really "convert" values, rather transforms are an anylogy to
118 C casts, real conversions need a param spec for validation, which is
119 why g_param_value_convert() does real conversions now.
121 * gvaluearray.[hc]: new files that implement a GValueArray, a struct
122 that can hold inhomogeneous arrays of value (to that extend that it
123 also allowes undefined values, i.e. G_VALUE_TYPE(value)==0).
124 this is exposed to the type system as a boxed type.
126 * gvaluetransform.c: new file implementing most of the former value
127 exchange functions as single-sided transformations.
129 * gvaluetypes.[hc]: nuked G_TYPE_CCALLBACK, added
130 g_value_set_string_take_ownership().
132 * *.h: s/G_IS_VALUE_/G_VALUE_HOLDS_/.
134 * *.[hc]: many fixes and cleanups.
136 * many warning improvements.
138 Tue Feb 27 18:35:15 2001 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
140 * gobject.c (g_object_get_valist): urg, pass G_VALUE_NOCOPY_CONTENTS
141 into G_VALUE_LCOPY(), this needs proper documenting.
143 * gparam.c: fixed G_PARAM_USER_MASK.
145 * gtype.c (type_data_make_W):
146 (type_data_last_unref_Wm): fixed invalid memory freeing.
148 * gobject.c (g_object_last_unref): destroy signal handlers associated
149 with object, right before finalization.
151 * gsignal.c (g_signal_parse_name): catch destroyed nodes or signals
152 that don't actually support details.
154 * gobject.[hc]: got rid of property trailers. nuked GObject
155 properties "data" and the "signal" variants.
156 (g_object_connect): new convenience function to do multiple
157 signal connections at once.
158 (g_object_disconnect): likewise, for disconnections.
160 * gparam.[hc] (g_param_spec_pool_lookup): took out trailer support.
162 * gvalue.[hc]: marked g_value_fits_pointer() and g_value_peek_pointer()
163 as private (the latter got renamed from g_value_get_as_pointer()).
165 2001-02-21 Tor Lillqvist <tml@iki.fi>
167 * *.h: Use G_BEGIN_DECLS and G_END_DECLS.
169 * Makefile.am: Use libglib-1.3.la from top_builddir. Invoke
170 libtool with -no-undefined for Win32 and Cygwin.
172 Wed Feb 21 18:31:46 2001 Jonathan Blandford <jrb@redhat.com>
174 * gsignal.h (g_signal_connect): Add g_signal_connect define to
175 make porting from gtk_signal_connect easy.
177 * gsignal.c (g_signal_emit_valist): Use G_TYPE_FROM_INSTANCE
178 (instance) instead of node->itype when initting the value.
180 2001-02-17 Havoc Pennington <hp@pobox.com>
182 Applied patch from Soeren Sandmann:
184 * gvaluetypes.c (g_value_get_string): G_CONST_RETURN
186 * gtype.c (g_type_name): G_CONST_RETURN
188 * gsignal.c (g_signal_name): G_CONST_RETURN
190 * gobject-query.c (main): const fix
192 Sat Feb 17 07:58:46 2001 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
194 * genums.h (G_TYPE_IS_FLAGS): patch from sven to fixup
195 G_ENUM_CLASS_TYPE() macro.
197 Sat Feb 17 04:55:35 2001 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
199 * gtype.[hc]: changed collect_format, collect_value() and lcopy_format,
200 lcopy_value() in the GTypeValueTable. the collect functions are now
201 called only once per value, collect_format/lcopy_format are strings
202 that enlist all necessary GTypeCValues to be varargs-collected.
204 * gvalue.h: ranamed STATIC_TAG to G_VALUE_NOCOPY_CONTENTS to indicate that
205 a value shouldn't copy its contents.
207 * gvaluecollector.h: changed G_VALUE_COLLECT() and G_VALUE_LCOPY()
208 macros to carry an additional argument (flags) that can be used
209 to pass G_VALUE_NOCOPY_CONTENTS along to the collection functions.
211 * *.c: adapted collect_value() and lcopy_value() functions to the new
212 prototypes, support G_VALUE_NOCOPY_CONTENTS where apropriate.
214 * gsignal.[hc]: introduced a G_SIGNAL_TYPE_STATIC_SCOPE flag that can
215 be passed along (ORed) with the parameter types, indicating that the
216 emission arguments are to be considered static for the scope of the
217 emission. should be used with care and only if the caller knows that
218 a parameter cannot be destroyed/freed from signal handlers connected
221 Fri Feb 16 07:10:44 2001 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
225 (g_closure_sink): make closure sinking explicit.
228 (g_signal_connect_data):
229 (g_signal_connect_closure):
230 (g_signal_connect_closure_by_id):
231 (g_signal_newv): perform explicit closure sinking.
233 Thu Feb 8 00:31:45 2001 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
235 * gtype.h: added G_TYPE_DEBUG_NONE for/from Eric Lemings ;)
237 2001-02-04 Tor Lillqvist <tml@iki.fi>
239 * gobject.def: Remove glib_debug_objects.
241 Sun Feb 4 07:30:53 2001 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
243 * gtype.[hc]: changed g_type_init() to take debugging flags
244 initially, a combination of G_TYPE_DEBUG_OBJECTS and
245 G_TYPE_DEBUG_SIGNALS. using the G_TYPE_ prefix is a bit odd
246 here, but basically g_type_int() serves as initialization
247 fucntion for all of GType, GObject, GSignal, so what the heck.
249 * gobject.c: special case debugging code properly.
250 changed glib_trap_object_ref to g_trap_object_ref.
252 * gsignal.c: add signal emission debugging abilities, along with
253 a new trap object g_trap_instance_signals.
255 2001-02-04 Tor Lillqvist <tml@iki.fi>
257 * Makefile.am (progs_LDADD): Change order of libs to libgobject
258 first, then libglib. Needed for cygwin, says jbdoll@kepri.re.kr.
260 Wed Jan 31 06:19:49 2001 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
262 * gparam.h: gtk-doc sucks for not dealing with #define inside enums.
264 * gtype.[hc]: added G_TYPE_FLAG_RESERVED_ID_BIT, a bit in the type
265 number that's supposed to be left untouched (preserved mainly
266 for the signal code).
268 * *.c: added thread safety code, based on an old patch from sebastian.
269 the remaining thread safety issues are now datalists on pspecs (to be
270 solved im gdataset.c) and gvalue.c where locking concerns value exchange
271 functionality only, and that's soon to be revised.
273 2001-01-27 Tor Lillqvist <tml@iki.fi>
275 * makefile.msc.in: Don't try to compile gmarshal.c on its own.
277 2001-01-24 <alexl@redhat.com>
279 * gclosure.c (g_closure_unref):
280 Don't leak closure->notifiers.
282 2001-01-05 Havoc Pennington <hp@redhat.com>
284 * gparamspecs.c (g_param_spec_enum): set the value_type in the
285 param spec; closes bug 40210
286 (g_param_spec_flags): ditto for flags
288 2001-01-03 Alexander Larsson <alexl@redhat.com>
291 Move glib_debug_objects out of the G_ENABLE_DEBUG #ifdef.
293 Thu Dec 28 11:36:44 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
295 * gbsearcharray.c (upper_power2): disable G_BSEARCH_ALIGN_POWER2
296 fucntionality if DISABLE_MEM_POOLS is defined.
298 * gtype.c: honour DISABLE_MEM_POOLS.
300 * gsignal.c (g_signal_init): flag signal key bsearch array with
301 G_BSEARCH_ALIGN_POWER2 to avoid excessive growth time. honour
304 * gparam.h: added G_PARAM_READWRITE alias for (G_PARAM_READABLE |
307 2000-12-15 Tor Lillqvist <tml@iki.fi>
309 * gobject.def: Update.
311 2000-12-15 Havoc Pennington <hp@pobox.com>
313 * gobject.c (g_object_do_class_init): use g_signal_newc
315 * gsignal.c (g_signal_newc): convenience function for signals
317 (g_signal_new_valist): added
318 (g_signal_new): removed
320 Fri Dec 15 04:40:23 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
322 * gparam.[hc]: add an instance member value_type so the default
323 value of the pspec class can be overridden.
325 2000-12-14 Tor Lillqvist <tml@iki.fi>
327 * makefile.mingw.in: Update, include parts from Makefile.am to
328 build gmarshal.[ch]. Some day, we won't need these separate
329 makefiles for Win32 compilation. I hope.
331 * makefile.msc.in: Update. No use trying to build gmarshal.[ch]
332 here, it would require Unixish tools. MSVC users building from CVS
333 sources are out of luck.
335 * gobject.def: Update.
337 Wed Dec 13 09:31:26 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
339 * gparamspecs.[hc]: add G_TYPE_PARAM_BOXED implementation.
341 * gobject.[hc]: minor fixes.
343 Tue Dec 12 23:38:02 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
345 * Makefile.am: _never_ touch oldest-source-stamp.
347 * gobject.[hc]: construct property handling fixes/improvements.
348 fixed trailer handling in get/set property.
350 * gparam.[hc]: implement param spec pool, got rid of param spec
351 hashtable. the most prominent change is that e deal with type
354 2000-12-12 Elliot Lee <sopwith@redhat.com>
357 . You have to 'touch oldest-source-stamp' if you want to avoid having
358 the Makefile constantly rebuild itself.
359 . Fix marshaller generation rules to work with srcdir != builddir
360 (there were issues with trying to run "./glib-genmarshal", etc.)
362 Mon Dec 11 04:44:11 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
364 * gboxed.c: fixed dealing with collection/lcopy of NULL values.
366 * gclosure.h: removed insane ramblings, added G_CALLBACK() a casting
369 * Makefile.am: cleanups, marshaller generation rules.
371 * gmarshal.[hc]: new files with GRuntime standard marshallers.
373 * glib-genmarshal.c: fix log domain, support gruntime standard
374 marshallers, suport G_TYPE_PARAM, come with extern "C" and
377 * glib-genmarshal.1: reflect glib-genmarshal.c updates.
379 * gobject.[hc]: implement object constructor. rework parameter
380 changed notification queueing, we support queue freezes now and
381 don't dispatch from an idle handler anymore.
382 parameter->property rename hassle.
383 implemented ::properties_changed and ::notify::* signals for
384 property change notification (the later supports property names
385 as details). added signal connection and named data properties.
386 (g_signal_connect_object): new function to setup while_alive
388 (g_object_class_install_property): sink properties now, since they
389 are initially floating.
390 (g_object_steal_data):
391 (g_object_set_data_full):
393 (g_object_get_data): set/get data by using g_datalist_*() functions
395 (g_object_queue_param_changed): nuked.
396 (g_object_freeze_notify): start queueing of property changes (freeze/
398 (g_object_notify): announce changes of a certain property directly.
399 (g_object_thaw_notify): process queue of property changes, therefore
400 emitting GObject::notify::detail with detail being the changed
402 (G_OBJECT_WARN_INVALID_PROPERTY_ID): saner macro variant of former
403 G_WARN_INVALID_PARAM_ID().
405 * gparam.[hc]: param specs are now initially floating and need to be
406 sunken with g_param_spec_sink(), support G_TYPE_PARAM values.
407 added G_PARAM_CONSTRUCT and G_PARAM_CONSTRUCT_ONLY parameter flags,
408 required by GObjectClass.constructor().
410 * gparamspecs.[hc]: added GParamSpecParam, GParamSpecPointer and
411 GParamSpecCCallback, param specs for G_TYPE_PARAM, G_TYPE_POINTER
412 and G_TYPE_CCALLBACK respectively.
414 * gsignal.[hc]: cleanups.
415 (signal_id_lookup): after walking the anchestry, try interfaces as well.
416 (g_signal_new): new function to create signals from varargs type list.
417 (g_signal_connect_closure): closure connection variant that works from
419 (g_signal_connect_data): c handler connection variant that works from
421 (g_signal_emit_valist): emit signal for an instance with paraneters
422 collected from a va_list.
423 (g_signal_emit): emit signal, taking parameters from varargs list.
424 (g_signal_emit_by_name): same as g_signal_emit, working from
426 (signal_emit_R): return whether return_value needs to be altered.
428 * gtype.[hc]: set log-domain to GRuntime, i'm slowly getting to all
429 the points that need to reflect the upcoming rename.
430 melt g_type_conforms_to() functionality into g_type_is_a(), as that
431 is what we really want (liskov substitution principle).
432 assorted changes to other files due to conforms_to->is_a.
434 * gvalue.[hc]: implemented g_value_set_instance() that sets a value
435 from an instantiatable type via the value_table's collect_value()
436 function (based on an idea from James Henstridge <james@daa.com.au>).
439 * gvaluetypes.[hc]: implement G_TYPE_CCALLBACK and G_TYPE_PARAM.
441 Wed Nov 29 13:30:05 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
443 * gsignal.c (handlers_find): fix elliots "logic fix" that dereferences
444 NULL nodes if C handlers are searched for specific signals.
446 2000-11-28 Elliot Lee <sopwith@redhat.com>
448 * gsignal.c: Fix warnings about possible use of uninitialized
449 variables, and fix logic that would leave 'node' unset in cases
450 that it might be used in.
452 * glib-genmarshal.c: Fix warning about printf format.
454 2000-11-28 Tor Lillqvist <tml@iki.fi>
456 * gboxed.c: Include <string.h> for memset ().
458 2000-11-22 Tor Lillqvist <tml@iki.fi>
460 * gobject.def: Update.
462 2000-11-20 Havoc Pennington <hp@redhat.com>
464 * gobject.c (g_object_get_data)
466 (g_object_set_data_full)
467 (g_object_steal_data): More convenient data-setting functions
469 Wed Nov 15 20:58:05 2000 Owen Taylor <otaylor@redhat.com>
471 * gtypemodule.c (g_type_module_use): If loading the
472 module fails, don't increment the use count.
474 Thu Nov 9 01:49:43 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
476 * gobject.h (G_WARN_INVALID_PARAM_ID): doh,
477 s/BSE_OBJECT_TYPE_NAME/G_OBJECT_TYPE_NAME/; reported by Maas-Maarten
478 Zeeman <maas@wanadoo.nl>.
480 Mon Nov 13 00:48:39 2000 Owen Taylor <otaylor@redhat.com>
482 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add glib-genmarshal.1
484 2000-11-11 Tor Lillqvist <tml@iki.fi>
486 * gtypemodule.c: Include stdlib.h for exit().
488 * makefile.{mingw,msc}.in (gobject_OBJECTS): Add gtypemodule.
490 * gobject.def: Add missing functions.
492 Sun Nov 5 13:21:28 2000 Owen Taylor <otaylor@redhat.com>
494 * Makefile.am gtypemodule.[ch]: New basic implementation of
495 GTypePlugin interface as a GObject. Dynamically loaded modules can
496 register any number of types and interface on the module.
498 Sun Nov 5 10:25:40 2000 Owen Taylor <otaylor@redhat.com>
500 * gsignal.c (handlers_find): When appending handlers and
501 not matching on signal_id, use hlist->signal_id instead of
502 signal_id. Having the correct signal_id when unreffing
503 the handlers makes things work a lot better.
505 2000-11-05 Tor Lillqvist <tml@iki.fi>
507 * makefile.{mingw,msc}.in (gobject_OBJECTS): Add gtypeplugin.
509 * gobject.def: Update.
511 Sun Nov 5 05:22:55 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
514 fixed a bag full of subtle bugs of immensive screw-up potential in
515 handlers_find(), luckily no one found out about them yet ;)
516 fixed signal_handlers_foreach_matched_R() so it operates on an
517 initial handler list snapshot provided by handlers_find() to work
518 around general reentrancy problems and to avoid multiple callback()
519 invocations on the same handlers.
520 this code is now officially 80% bug free (10% remaining for interface
521 types, and 10% remaining for destroyed signals ;)
523 Sat Nov 4 02:01:33 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
525 * gsignal.c (_g_signals_destroy): valid signal nodes start out at 1.
527 * gtypeplugin.[hc]: new files holding a GTypePlugin interface
528 implementation that provides the API required by GType to deal with
529 dynamically loadable types.
531 * gtype.[hc]: displace any GTypePlugin business to gtypeplugin.h.
533 Fri Nov 3 07:35:00 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
535 * gsignal.[hc]: prefix internal functions with '_'. renamed
536 g_signal_connect_closure() to g_signal_connect_closure_by_id().
537 added g_signal_parse_name() to retrive signal_id and detail quark
538 from a signal name (internal).
540 Wed Nov 1 03:36:54 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
542 * gobject.c (g_object_base_class_finalize): destroy all signals that
543 the finalized obejct type introduced.
545 * gsignal.c (g_signals_destroy): don't require itype to have
548 * gobject.c (g_object_do_finalize): make sure all signal handlers
552 (g_signal_handler_find): only match on non-0 masks.
553 (g_signal_handlers_block_matched):
554 (g_signal_handlers_unblock_matched):
555 (g_signal_handlers_disconnect_matched): new functions to block/unblock
556 or disconnect handlers in groups.
558 2000-10-30 Sebastian Wilhelmi <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>
560 * gvalue.c (exchange_entries_equal), gparam.c (param_spec_equals):
561 made both functions return gboolean just for the little extra
562 standard conformance now that GEqualFunc is introduced.
564 Mon Oct 30 05:52:45 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
566 * gsignal.c (g_signal_list_ids): get rid of inline documentation owen
567 added, the doc system would ignore it anyways (for some reason not
570 Mon Oct 30 03:00:07 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
572 * gsignal.[hc] (g_signal_list_ids): renamed owen's g_type_signals(),
573 added required mutex locks.
575 Sun Oct 29 02:31:03 2000 Owen Taylor <otaylor@redhat.com>
577 * gsignal.c (g_type_signals): Fix problem where signals
578 with "_" in them appeared twice in the result array.
580 Sun Oct 29 01:58:44 2000 Owen Taylor <otaylor@redhat.com>
582 * gsignal.h: Add g_type_signals() - a function to list
583 all signals for a given type.
585 Sat Oct 28 00:28:09 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
587 * gclosure.c (g_closure_add_marshal_guards): fixed notifier position
588 for post_marshal guard which was off at 0.
590 Fri Oct 27 21:49:31 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
592 * gobject.[hc]: doh, fix argument order in for
593 g_cclosure_new_object_swap and g_cclosure_new_object.
595 2000-10-28 Tor Lillqvist <tml@iki.fi>
597 * makefile.{mingw,msc}.in: Make glib-genmarshal.exe.
599 * glib-genmarshal.c: Conditionalise include of unistd.h.
600 Include <io.h> on Win32.
602 * gobject.def: Add some missing entry points.
604 Fri Oct 27 16:33:41 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
606 * gsignal.[hc]: publically define GSignalInvocationHint structure
607 that gets passed in to closure invocations. added signal details.
608 renamed GSignalType to GSignalFlags to comply with conventions.
609 quite some cleanups and minor fixes. avoid uneccessary handler list
610 walks upon invokation of after handlers. relookup handler list for
611 restarted emissions. preliminary abort normal handler invokation if
612 after handler is encountered.
615 * gclosure.[hc]: moved invocation_hint to the end of the
616 g_closure_invoke() arguments as sugegsted by kenelson.
617 also made it a gpointer to be more generic. the invocation_hint
618 is a caller specific thing that can be used to pass additional
619 data in to closure invocations as documented with the caller
620 invoking the closure.
622 Fri Oct 27 05:35:14 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
624 * gobject.c (g_object_watch_closure): fixed realloc bug, reported
627 * gsignal.c (g_signal_newv): fixed deadlock scenarion where
628 g_signal_lookup() would be called with the signal lock being
629 held. reported by james henstridge.
631 * gclosure.c (g_closure_set_meta_marshal): fixed memcpy/overwrite bug
634 2000-10-26 Tor Lillqvist <tml@iki.fi>
636 * gbsearcharray.c (bsearch_array_insert): Fix gccisms (pointer
637 arithmetic on void pointer, label without statement following.
639 * gtype.c (type_node_fundamental_info): Don't apply unary minus to
640 result of sizeof operator, it can be unsigned. Cast first to
643 * gobject.def: Add new functions.
645 * makefile.{mingw,msc}.in: Add new objects.
647 2000-10-26 Sebastian Wilhelmi <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>
649 * Makefile.am: Remove empty SUBDIRS line _again_, as that _still_
650 prevents 'make dist' from working.
652 Wed Oct 25 19:11:03 2000 Owen Taylor <otaylor@redhat.com>
654 * gbsearcharray.h (g_bsearch_array_get_nth): Don't use implicit
655 casts from void * since this will get included from C++ too
658 Thu Oct 26 00:30:27 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
660 * gvaluetypes.[hc]: added g_value_set_static_string().
662 * gboxed.[hc]: const corrections. added g_value_set_static_boxed().
664 Wed Oct 25 20:27:02 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
666 * gtype.c (g_type_free_instance): for the moment, freeing object
667 structures will fill their memory portion with 0xAA. there's a
668 FIXME there, remove this line at a later point.
670 Tue Oct 24 23:10:26 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
673 * glib-genmarshal.c: added publically installed marshaller generator.
675 * gtype.h: added G_TYPE_INSTANCE_GET_INTERFACE() to retrive a certain
676 interface VTable from instances.
678 Mon Oct 23 08:28:15 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
680 * gobject.[hc]: new functions for closure maintenance:
681 (g_object_watch_closure): maintain validity of the object and
682 the closure for objects that are used as data part of a closure.
683 (g_cclosure_new_object): convenience function to create C closures
684 that have an object as data argument.
685 (g_closure_new_object): convenience function to create closures
686 that have an object as data argument.
688 * gclosure.[hc]: implementation of GClosure mechanism.
689 a closure is basically an encapsulation of a callback function
690 and its environment. ideally, most places supporting callback
691 functions will simply take a GClosure* pointer and thus unify
692 callback environments wrg destroy notification etc.
693 GClosure provides destroy notifiers for arbitrary data pointers,
694 reference counting, invalidation notification (it can be invalidated
695 which is merely a deactivate state) and a marshallinbg abstraction.
696 GCClosure is also provided in these files, they present a specialized
697 GClosure implementation for C language callbacks.
699 * genum.c: macro cleanups.
701 * gboxed.[hc]: new files, for boxed type abstraction.
702 (g_boxed_copy): copy a boxed structure
703 (g_boxed_free): free a boxed structure
705 (g_value_get_boxed): standard GValue functions for boxed types
706 (g_boxed_type_register_static): convenience function for easy
707 introduction of new G_TYPE_BOXED derivatives.
709 * gparam.[hc]: introduced g_param_type_register_static(), a short hand
710 for creation of new GParamSpec derived types.
712 * gtype.[hc]: many fixes, introduced ability to flag individual
713 type nodes as ABSTRACT upon registration, added value_peek_pointer()
714 to the value table to peek at GValue contents as a pointer for types
715 that support this. fixed up GValue checks.
717 * gvalue.[hc]: added g_value_fits_pointer() and g_value_get_as_pointer()
718 to peek at the value contents as pointer.
720 * *.[hc]: adaptions to type macro fixes and changes in the type
723 * many const corrections over the place.
725 Sat Oct 21 02:49:56 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
727 * gtype.c (g_type_conforms_to): this function basically behaves like
728 and is_a check, except that it _additionally_ features interfaces
729 for instantiatable types. enforce this in the second branch as well
730 (`type' conforms_to `type') even if `type' is not an interface type.
732 Fri Oct 20 15:31:04 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
734 * gvaluetypes.[hc]: added G_TYPE_POINTER implementation from jrb.
738 * gvaluetypes.c: added GTypeValueTable.value_peek_pointer and
739 suitable implementations of this for G_TYPE_STRING, G_TYPE_OBJECT
742 Mon Aug 21 04:13:37 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
744 * gbsearcharray.[hc]: long standing needed generic implementation
745 of a binary searchable, sorted and dynamically sized array.
747 2000-10-15 Raja R Harinath <harinath@cs.umn.edu>
749 * Makefile.am (BUILT_EXTRA_DIST): New variable.
750 (dist-hook): Handle $(BUILT_EXTRA_DIST).
751 (*): Remove traces of @STRIP_{BEGIN,END}@.
753 2000-09-29 Martin Baulig <baulig@suse.de>
755 Several minor ANSI C fixes.
758 * gtype.c (type_class_init):
759 `(gpointer) bnode->data->class.class_init_base'
760 in call to g_slist_prepend() and
761 'GBaseInitFunc class_init_base = (GBaseInitFunc) slist->data'.
763 * gobject.c: Put text following #endif into comments.
765 2000-09-25 Sebastian Wilhelmi <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>
767 * Makefile.am: Remove empty SUBDIRS line, as that prevents make
770 Sat Sep 9 20:04:13 2000 Owen Taylor <otaylor@redhat.com>
772 * gobject.c (g_object_last_unref): Move call to
773 g_type_free_instance() here from g_object_do_finalize,
774 since g_type_free_instance() can unload the object's
777 2000-07-27 Tor Lillqvist <tml@iki.fi>
779 * gobject.c: No, don't mark glib_debug_objects for export here,
780 it's handled specially in gtktypeutils.c.
782 * gobject.def: Export g_type_fundamental_last (the function).
784 2000-07-26 Tor Lillqvist <tml@iki.fi>
787 * gobject.c: Mark glib_debug_objects for export/import as it is
790 Sun Jul 23 17:23:35 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
792 * gtype.[hc]: make g_type_fundamental_last() a function, avoiding all
793 that extern variable clutter and avoiding further problems with thread
796 2000-07-19 Tor Lillqvist <tml@iki.fi>
801 * gtype.c: Shut up Sun's picky compiler.
803 2000-07-14 Tor Lillqvist <tml@iki.fi>
805 * gobject.def: Add g_type_get_plugin.
807 Thu Jul 13 02:07:54 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
809 * gparam.c (g_param_value_defaults): default initialize the temporary
810 default value, instead of nuking the caller's value contents.
812 2000-07-11 Raja R Harinath <harinath@cs.umn.edu>
814 * gtype.c (g_type_get_plugin): Don't return just 0 or 1.
816 Tue Jul 11 02:48:13 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
818 * gtype.[hc]: removed g_type_is_dynamic() and added g_type_get_plugin().
820 2000-07-10 Tor Lillqvist <tml@iki.fi>
822 * gobject-query.c: Include ../config.h for HAVE_UNISTD_H. Use it
823 to guard inclusion of <unistd.h>.
825 * gtype.h: Fix copy-paste errors in the ifdefs on how to declare a
826 variable for export. Call the macro GOBJECT_VAR.
828 * gtype.c: Declare _g_type_fundamental_last for export here, too.
829 (type_node_any_new): Use only constant expressions for sizeof
830 operator (for instance MSVC requires this).
832 * makefile.mingw.in: Define GOBJECT_COMPILATION.
834 Sun Jul 9 21:21:46 2000 Owen Taylor <otaylor@redhat.com>
836 * genums.c: Move string.h include into the .c file
837 instead of where it was in the .h file by mistake.
839 Thu Jul 6 15:30:27 2000 Owen Taylor <otaylor@redhat.com>
841 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): dist fixes.
843 * gobject.c: Add a global variable glib_debug_objects
844 (not in header file) to control object tracing.
846 2000-07-01 Tor Lillqvist <tml@iki.fi>
848 * gobject.def: Update added and renamed entry points.
850 * makefile.mingw.in: Add gvaluetypes.o.
852 Thu Jun 29 16:02:07 2000 Owen Taylor <otaylor@redhat.com>
854 * gobject.c:include string.h for memset
855 * genums.h: include string.h for strcpy
856 * gvalue.c: include string.h for memset, memcpy.
858 Sat Jun 24 23:03:04 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
860 * gtype.[hc]: provide G_TYPE_CHAR, G_TYPE_UCHAR, G_TYPE_BOOLEAN,
861 G_TYPE_INT, G_TYPE_UINT, G_TYPE_LONG, G_TYPE_ULONG, G_TYPE_FLOAT,
862 G_TYPE_DOUBLE and G_TYPE_STRING fundamental types.
863 added a GTypeValueTable* pointer to GTypeInfo structure for types
864 to implement GValue handling functions.
865 GTypeValueTable contains the following members:
866 value_init(): initialize a GValue structure.
867 value_free(): free GValue structure contents (optional).
868 value_copy(): copy one GValue contents to another GValue structure of
869 collect_type: varargs collection type for the first variable argument
870 to be collected by collect_value().
871 collect_value(): variable arguments collection function (optional).
872 lcopy_type: varargs collection type for the first variable argument
873 to be location copyied by lcopy_value().
874 lcopy_value(): variable arguments location copy function (optional).
875 g_type_value_table_peek(): new function to retrive the GTypeValueTable*
876 for a type node. ValueTables get inherited from parent types, unless
877 overridden through the GTypeInfo structure. internally, GTypeValueTable
878 support means an added overhead of one pointer per static or used
880 g_type_add_class_cache_func(): provide a cache_func/data pair to be
881 called prior to a type nodes last_unref() function, this can be used
882 to prevent premature class destruction. multiple installed cache_func()
883 will be chained upon last_unref() untill one of them returns TRUE.
884 the cache_func()s have to check the class id passed in to figure whether
885 they actually want to cache the class of this type (since all classes
886 are routed through the cache_func() chain).
887 g_type_remove_class_cache_func(): remove a previously installed
888 cache_func/data pair. the cache maintained by this function has to be
889 clear when calling g_type_remove_class_cache_func() to avoid leaks.
890 g_type_class_unref_uncached(): class unref function for cache_func()
891 implementations, unreferences a class omitting the cache chain (and
892 therefore unref->cache->unref->... loops).
894 * gvaluetypes.[hc]: provide the value setters/getters for the primitive
895 fundamental types boolean, char, uchar, int, uint, long, ulong, float,
898 * gvalue.[hc]: provide G_TYPE_IS_VALUE() in terms of whether a
899 GTypeValueTable is provided for this type.
900 removed g_value_init_default(), g_value_validate(), g_value_defaults(),
901 g_value_set_default() and g_values_cmp() as these are supplied by the
903 moved g_values_exchange() into the "implementation details" section,
904 since it just provides the underlying functionality for
907 * gvaluecollector.h: renamed the varargs value container from
908 GParamCValue to GTypeCValue as the value collection methods are
909 supplied by the type system now.
910 G_PARAM_COLLECT_VALUE() and G_PARAM_LCOPY_VALUE() got renamed to
911 G_VALUE_COLLECT() and G_VALUE_LCOPY() and operate without a
912 GParamSpec structure now.
914 * genums.h: macros cleanups/fixes.
916 * genum.c: provide G_TYPE_ENUM and G_TYPE_FLAGS type
917 and assorted g_value_{s|g}et_{enum|flags}() implementations.
920 provide G_IS_VALUE_OBJECT(), G_TYPE_OBJECT ValueTable methods
921 and g_value_{s|g}et_object().
923 * gparam.[hc]: reduced class to value_set_default(),
924 value_validate() and values_cmp(). also parameters now need to fill
925 in a GType value_type; field to indicate the GValue type they
926 are handling. provide g_param_value_set_default(),
927 g_param_value_defaults(), g_param_value_validate() and
928 g_param_values_cmp().
930 * gparamspecs.[hc]: got rid of the g_value_* functions and
931 the G_IS_VALUE_* macros. adapted param spec implementations
932 according to the GParamSpecClass changes.
934 Sat Jun 10 08:38:27 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
936 * gtype.c (type_class_init): fetch the nth iface entry of the
937 type node in the nth loop iteration, not alwys the first.
938 bug discovered by Walt Pohl <cher@suitware.com>.
939 (type_data_finalize_class_ifaces): same here, cut and paste
942 Wed Jun 7 09:21:05 2000 Owen Taylor <otaylor@redhat.com>
944 * Makefile.am (INCLUDES): Add top_builddir so glibconfig.h
945 is found properly when build srcdir != builddir. (Patch from
948 2000-05-13 Tor Lillqvist <tml@iki.fi>
952 * gobject.rc.in: New files, for Win32 (mingw) build.
954 * Makefile.am: Add to EXTRA_DIST. Add rules to produce the
955 corresponding non-*.in files.
957 * gtype.h: (Win32:) Mark _g_type_fundamental_last for
958 export/import from DLL.
960 Fri May 5 01:15:48 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
962 * gtype.h: add reserved fundamental ids for gtk types (for transition
963 time). added G_TYPE_FUNDAMENTAL_MAX for gtk.
965 Mon Apr 17 20:45:50 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
967 * glib-gobject.c (g_object_base_class_finalize): oops, don't unset
968 n_params prior to destructing them.
970 Tue Apr 11 04:28:10 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
972 * fixed a couple of bugs in the initial parameter/object
973 implementations, after getting beast running on GObject and GValue.
975 Fri Apr 7 04:27:49 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
977 * glib-gobject.[hc]: completed parameter set/get implementations,
978 along with asyncronous parameter changed notification queue.
980 Sun Apr 2 04:54:36 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
982 * glib-gobject.[hc]: GObject implementation, that is facilities
983 for setting/getting quarked data and reference counting.
985 * glib-gparamspecs.[hc]: first actuall parameter implementations
986 for GLib, so far we have: char, uchar, bool, int, uint, long,
987 ulong, enum, flags, float, double, string and object. each of these
988 GParamSpecs is a new instantiatable type in its own respect,
989 so the .c file derives 13 new types from G_TYPE_PARAM and
990 defines over 50 (*2) conversion facilities.
992 * glib-gvaluecollector.h: generic varargs handling stubs for
993 GParamSpecs, private header file (does get installed for
994 inclusion into user code though).
996 * glib-gvalue.[hc]: GValue functionality implementation.
998 * glib-gparam.[hc]: basis GParamSpec implementation for
999 the virtual base type G_TYPE_PARAM.
1001 * glib-genums.[hc]: enum/flags type implementation, based on
1004 * glib-gtype.[hc]: GLib Type System implementation, heavily
1005 based on BSE's dynamic type system.
