3 * gobject.def: Remove glib_debug_objects.
5 Sun Feb 4 07:30:53 2001 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
7 * gtype.[hc]: changed g_type_init() to take debugging flags
8 initially, a combination of G_TYPE_DEBUG_OBJECTS and
9 G_TYPE_DEBUG_SIGNALS. using the G_TYPE_ prefix is a bit odd
10 here, but basically g_type_int() serves as initialization
11 fucntion for all of GType, GObject, GSignal, so what the heck.
13 * gobject.c: special case debugging code properly.
14 changed glib_trap_object_ref to g_trap_object_ref.
16 * gsignal.c: add signal emission debugging abilities, along with
17 a new trap object g_trap_instance_signals.
19 2001-02-04 Tor Lillqvist <tml@iki.fi>
21 * Makefile.am (progs_LDADD): Change order of libs to libgobject
22 first, then libglib. Needed for cygwin, says jbdoll@kepri.re.kr.
24 Wed Jan 31 06:19:49 2001 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
26 * gparam.h: gtk-doc sucks for not dealing with #define inside enums.
28 * gtype.[hc]: added G_TYPE_FLAG_RESERVED_ID_BIT, a bit in the type
29 number that's supposed to be left untouched (preserved mainly
32 * *.c: added thread safety code, based on an old patch from sebastian.
33 the remaining thread safety issues are now datalists on pspecs (to be
34 solved im gdataset.c) and gvalue.c where locking concerns value exchange
35 functionality only, and that's soon to be revised.
37 2001-01-27 Tor Lillqvist <tml@iki.fi>
39 * makefile.msc.in: Don't try to compile gmarshal.c on its own.
41 2001-01-24 <alexl@redhat.com>
43 * gclosure.c (g_closure_unref):
44 Don't leak closure->notifiers.
46 2001-01-05 Havoc Pennington <hp@redhat.com>
48 * gparamspecs.c (g_param_spec_enum): set the value_type in the
49 param spec; closes bug 40210
50 (g_param_spec_flags): ditto for flags
52 2001-01-03 Alexander Larsson <alexl@redhat.com>
55 Move glib_debug_objects out of the G_ENABLE_DEBUG #ifdef.
57 Thu Dec 28 11:36:44 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
59 * gbsearcharray.c (upper_power2): disable G_BSEARCH_ALIGN_POWER2
60 fucntionality if DISABLE_MEM_POOLS is defined.
62 * gtype.c: honour DISABLE_MEM_POOLS.
64 * gsignal.c (g_signal_init): flag signal key bsearch array with
65 G_BSEARCH_ALIGN_POWER2 to avoid excessive growth time. honour
68 * gparam.h: added G_PARAM_READWRITE alias for (G_PARAM_READABLE |
71 2000-12-15 Tor Lillqvist <tml@iki.fi>
73 * gobject.def: Update.
75 2000-12-15 Havoc Pennington <hp@pobox.com>
77 * gobject.c (g_object_do_class_init): use g_signal_newc
79 * gsignal.c (g_signal_newc): convenience function for signals
81 (g_signal_new_valist): added
82 (g_signal_new): removed
84 Fri Dec 15 04:40:23 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
86 * gparam.[hc]: add an instance member value_type so the default
87 value of the pspec class can be overridden.
89 2000-12-14 Tor Lillqvist <tml@iki.fi>
91 * makefile.mingw.in: Update, include parts from Makefile.am to
92 build gmarshal.[ch]. Some day, we won't need these separate
93 makefiles for Win32 compilation. I hope.
95 * makefile.msc.in: Update. No use trying to build gmarshal.[ch]
96 here, it would require Unixish tools. MSVC users building from CVS
97 sources are out of luck.
99 * gobject.def: Update.
101 Wed Dec 13 09:31:26 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
103 * gparamspecs.[hc]: add G_TYPE_PARAM_BOXED implementation.
105 * gobject.[hc]: minor fixes.
107 Tue Dec 12 23:38:02 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
109 * Makefile.am: _never_ touch oldest-source-stamp.
111 * gobject.[hc]: construct property handling fixes/improvements.
112 fixed trailer handling in get/set property.
114 * gparam.[hc]: implement param spec pool, got rid of param spec
115 hashtable. the most prominent change is that e deal with type
118 2000-12-12 Elliot Lee <sopwith@redhat.com>
121 . You have to 'touch oldest-source-stamp' if you want to avoid having
122 the Makefile constantly rebuild itself.
123 . Fix marshaller generation rules to work with srcdir != builddir
124 (there were issues with trying to run "./glib-genmarshal", etc.)
126 Mon Dec 11 04:44:11 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
128 * gboxed.c: fixed dealing with collection/lcopy of NULL values.
130 * gclosure.h: removed insane ramblings, added G_CALLBACK() a casting
133 * Makefile.am: cleanups, marshaller generation rules.
135 * gmarshal.[hc]: new files with GRuntime standard marshallers.
137 * glib-genmarshal.c: fix log domain, support gruntime standard
138 marshallers, suport G_TYPE_PARAM, come with extern "C" and
141 * glib-genmarshal.1: reflect glib-genmarshal.c updates.
143 * gobject.[hc]: implement object constructor. rework parameter
144 changed notification queueing, we support queue freezes now and
145 don't dispatch from an idle handler anymore.
146 parameter->property rename hassle.
147 implemented ::properties_changed and ::notify::* signals for
148 property change notification (the later supports property names
149 as details). added signal connection and named data properties.
150 (g_signal_connect_object): new function to setup while_alive
152 (g_object_class_install_property): sink properties now, since they
153 are initially floating.
154 (g_object_steal_data):
155 (g_object_set_data_full):
157 (g_object_get_data): set/get data by using g_datalist_*() functions
159 (g_object_queue_param_changed): nuked.
160 (g_object_freeze_notify): start queueing of property changes (freeze/
162 (g_object_notify): announce changes of a certain property directly.
163 (g_object_thaw_notify): process queue of property changes, therefore
164 emitting GObject::notify::detail with detail being the changed
166 (G_OBJECT_WARN_INVALID_PROPERTY_ID): saner macro variant of former
167 G_WARN_INVALID_PARAM_ID().
169 * gparam.[hc]: param specs are now initially floating and need to be
170 sunken with g_param_spec_sink(), support G_TYPE_PARAM values.
171 added G_PARAM_CONSTRUCT and G_PARAM_CONSTRUCT_ONLY parameter flags,
172 required by GObjectClass.constructor().
174 * gparamspecs.[hc]: added GParamSpecParam, GParamSpecPointer and
175 GParamSpecCCallback, param specs for G_TYPE_PARAM, G_TYPE_POINTER
176 and G_TYPE_CCALLBACK respectively.
178 * gsignal.[hc]: cleanups.
179 (signal_id_lookup): after walking the anchestry, try interfaces as well.
180 (g_signal_new): new function to create signals from varargs type list.
181 (g_signal_connect_closure): closure connection variant that works from
183 (g_signal_connect_data): c handler connection variant that works from
185 (g_signal_emit_valist): emit signal for an instance with paraneters
186 collected from a va_list.
187 (g_signal_emit): emit signal, taking parameters from varargs list.
188 (g_signal_emit_by_name): same as g_signal_emit, working from
190 (signal_emit_R): return whether return_value needs to be altered.
192 * gtype.[hc]: set log-domain to GRuntime, i'm slowly getting to all
193 the points that need to reflect the upcoming rename.
194 melt g_type_conforms_to() functionality into g_type_is_a(), as that
195 is what we really want (liskov substitution principle).
196 assorted changes to other files due to conforms_to->is_a.
198 * gvalue.[hc]: implemented g_value_set_instance() that sets a value
199 from an instantiatable type via the value_table's collect_value()
200 function (based on an idea from James Henstridge <james@daa.com.au>).
203 * gvaluetypes.[hc]: implement G_TYPE_CCALLBACK and G_TYPE_PARAM.
205 Wed Nov 29 13:30:05 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
207 * gsignal.c (handlers_find): fix elliots "logic fix" that dereferences
208 NULL nodes if C handlers are searched for specific signals.
210 2000-11-28 Elliot Lee <sopwith@redhat.com>
212 * gsignal.c: Fix warnings about possible use of uninitialized
213 variables, and fix logic that would leave 'node' unset in cases
214 that it might be used in.
216 * glib-genmarshal.c: Fix warning about printf format.
218 2000-11-28 Tor Lillqvist <tml@iki.fi>

228 * gobject.c (g_object_get_data)
230 (g_object_set_data_full)
231 (g_object_steal_data): More convenient data-setting functions
233 Wed Nov 15 20:58:05 2000 Owen Taylor <otaylor@redhat.com>
235 * gtypemodule.c (g_type_module_use): If loading the
236 module fails, don't increment the use count.
238 Thu Nov 9 01:49:43 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
240 * gobject.h (G_WARN_INVALID_PARAM_ID): doh,
241 s/BSE_OBJECT_TYPE_NAME/G_OBJECT_TYPE_NAME/; reported by Maas-Maarten
242 Zeeman <maas@wanadoo.nl>.
244 Mon Nov 13 00:48:39 2000 Owen Taylor <otaylor@redhat.com>
246 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add glib-genmarshal.1
248 2000-11-11 Tor Lillqvist <tml@iki.fi>

256 Sun Nov 5 13:21:28 2000 Owen Taylor <otaylor@redhat.com>
258 * Makefile.am gtypemodule.[ch]: New basic implementation of
259 GTypePlugin interface as a GObject. Dynamically loaded modules can
260 register any number of types and interface on the module.
262 Sun Nov 5 10:25:40 2000 Owen Taylor <otaylor@redhat.com>
264 * gsignal.c (handlers_find): When appending handlers and
265 not matching on signal_id, use hlist->signal_id instead of
266 signal_id. Having the correct signal_id when unreffing
267 the handlers makes things work a lot better.
269 2000-11-05 Tor Lillqvist <tml@iki.fi>
271 * makefile.{mingw,msc}.in (gobject_OBJECTS): Add gtypeplugin.
273 * gobject.def: Update.
275 Sun Nov 5 05:22:55 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
278 fixed a bag full of subtle bugs of immensive screw-up potential in
279 handlers_find(), luckily no one found out about them yet ;)
280 fixed signal_handlers_foreach_matched_R() so it operates on an
281 initial handler list snapshot provided by handlers_find() to work
282 around general reentrancy problems and to avoid multiple callback()
283 invocations on the same handlers.
284 this code is now officially 80% bug free (10% remaining for interface
285 types, and 10% remaining for destroyed signals ;)
287 Sat Nov 4 02:01:33 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
289 * gsignal.c (_g_signals_destroy): valid signal nodes start out at 1.
291 * gtypeplugin.[hc]: new files holding a GTypePlugin interface
292 implementation that provides the API required by GType to deal with
293 dynamically loadable types.
295 * gtype.[hc]: displace any GTypePlugin business to gtypeplugin.h.
297 Fri Nov 3 07:35:00 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
299 * gsignal.[hc]: prefix internal functions with '_'. renamed
300 g_signal_connect_closure() to g_signal_connect_closure_by_id().
301 added g_signal_parse_name() to retrive signal_id and detail quark
302 from a signal name (internal).
304 Wed Nov 1 03:36:54 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
306 * gobject.c (g_object_base_class_finalize): destroy all signals that
307 the finalized obejct type introduced.
309 * gsignal.c (g_signals_destroy): don't require itype to have
312 * gobject.c (g_object_do_finalize): make sure all signal handlers
316 (g_signal_handler_find): only match on non-0 masks.
317 (g_signal_handlers_block_matched):
318 (g_signal_handlers_unblock_matched):
319 (g_signal_handlers_disconnect_matched): new functions to block/unblock
320 or disconnect handlers in groups.
322 2000-10-30 Sebastian Wilhelmi <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>
324 * gvalue.c (exchange_entries_equal), gparam.c (param_spec_equals):
325 made both functions return gboolean just for the little extra
326 standard conformance now that GEqualFunc is introduced.
328 Mon Oct 30 05:52:45 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
330 * gsignal.c (g_signal_list_ids): get rid of inline documentation owen
331 added, the doc system would ignore it anyways (for some reason not
334 Mon Oct 30 03:00:07 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
336 * gsignal.[hc] (g_signal_list_ids): renamed owen's g_type_signals(),
337 added required mutex locks.
339 Sun Oct 29 02:31:03 2000 Owen Taylor <otaylor@redhat.com>
341 * gsignal.c (g_type_signals): Fix problem where signals
342 with "_" in them appeared twice in the result array.
344 Sun Oct 29 01:58:44 2000 Owen Taylor <otaylor@redhat.com>
346 * gsignal.h: Add g_type_signals() - a function to list
347 all signals for a given type.
349 Sat Oct 28 00:28:09 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
351 * gclosure.c (g_closure_add_marshal_guards): fixed notifier position

354 Fri Oct 27 21:49:31 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
356 * gobject.[hc]: doh, fix argument order in for
357 g_cclosure_new_object_swap and g_cclosure_new_object.
359 2000-10-28 Tor Lillqvist <tml@iki.fi>
361 * makefile.{mingw,msc}.in: Make glib-genmarshal.exe.
363 * glib-genmarshal.c: Conditionalise include of unistd.h.
364 Include <io.h> on Win32.

368 Fri Oct 27 16:33:41 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
370 * gsignal.[hc]: publically define GSignalInvocationHint structure
371 that gets passed in to closure invocations. added signal details.
372 renamed GSignalType to GSignalFlags to comply with conventions.
373 quite some cleanups and minor fixes. avoid uneccessary handler list
374 walks upon invokation of after handlers. relookup handler list for
375 restarted emissions. preliminary abort normal handler invokation if
376 after handler is encountered.
379 * gclosure.[hc]: moved invocation_hint to the end of the
380 g_closure_invoke() arguments as sugegsted by kenelson.
381 also made it a gpointer to be more generic. the invocation_hint
382 is a caller specific thing that can be used to pass additional
383 data in to closure invocations as documented with the caller
384 invoking the closure.
386 Fri Oct 27 05:35:14 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
388 * gobject.c (g_object_watch_closure): fixed realloc bug, reported
391 * gsignal.c (g_signal_newv): fixed deadlock scenarion where
392 g_signal_lookup() would be called with the signal lock being
393 held. reported by james henstridge.
395 * gclosure.c (g_closure_set_meta_marshal): fixed memcpy/overwrite bug
398 2000-10-26 Tor Lillqvist <tml@iki.fi>
400 * gbsearcharray.c (bsearch_array_insert): Fix gccisms (pointer
401 arithmetic on void pointer, label without statement following.
403 * gtype.c (type_node_fundamental_info): Don't apply unary minus to
404 result of sizeof operator, it can be unsigned. Cast first to
407 * gobject.def: Add new functions.
409 * makefile.{mingw,msc}.in: Add new objects.
411 2000-10-26 Sebastian Wilhelmi <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>
413 * Makefile.am: Remove empty SUBDIRS line _again_, as that _still_
414 prevents 'make dist' from working.
416 Wed Oct 25 19:11:03 2000 Owen Taylor <otaylor@redhat.com>
418 * gbsearcharray.h (g_bsearch_array_get_nth): Don't use implicit
419 casts from void * since this will get included from C++ too
422 Thu Oct 26 00:30:27 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
424 * gvaluetypes.[hc]: added g_value_set_static_string().
426 * gboxed.[hc]: const corrections. added g_value_set_static_boxed().
428 Wed Oct 25 20:27:02 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
430 * gtype.c (g_type_free_instance): for the moment, freeing object
431 structures will fill their memory portion with 0xAA. there's a
432 FIXME there, remove this line at a later point.
434 Tue Oct 24 23:10:26 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
437 * glib-genmarshal.c: added publically installed marshaller generator.
439 * gtype.h: added G_TYPE_INSTANCE_GET_INTERFACE() to retrive a certain
440 interface VTable from instances.
442 Mon Oct 23 08:28:15 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
444 * gobject.[hc]: new functions for closure maintenance:
445 (g_object_watch_closure): maintain validity of the object and
446 the closure for objects that are used as data part of a closure.
447 (g_cclosure_new_object): convenience function to create C closures
448 that have an object as data argument.
449 (g_closure_new_object): convenience function to create closures
450 that have an object as data argument.
452 * gclosure.[hc]: implementation of GClosure mechanism.
453 a closure is basically an encapsulation of a callback function
454 and its environment. ideally, most places supporting callback
455 functions will simply take a GClosure* pointer and thus unify
456 callback environments wrg destroy notification etc.
457 GClosure provides destroy notifiers for arbitrary data pointers,
458 reference counting, invalidation notification (it can be invalidated
459 which is merely a deactivate state) and a marshallinbg abstraction.
460 GCClosure is also provided in these files, they present a specialized
461 GClosure implementation for C language callbacks.
463 * genum.c: macro cleanups.
465 * gboxed.[hc]: new files, for boxed type abstraction.
466 (g_boxed_copy): copy a boxed structure
467 (g_boxed_free): free a boxed structure
469 (g_value_get_boxed): standard GValue functions for boxed types
470 (g_boxed_type_register_static): convenience function for easy
471 introduction of new G_TYPE_BOXED derivatives.
473 * gparam.[hc]: introduced g_param_type_register_static(), a short hand
474 for creation of new GParamSpec derived types.
476 * gtype.[hc]: many fixes, introduced ability to flag individual
477 type nodes as ABSTRACT upon registration, added value_peek_pointer()
478 to the value table to peek at GValue contents as a pointer for types
479 that support this. fixed up GValue checks.
481 * gvalue.[hc]: added g_value_fits_pointer() and g_value_get_as_pointer()
482 to peek at the value contents as pointer.
484 * *.[hc]: adaptions to type macro fixes and changes in the type
487 * many const corrections over the place.
489 Sat Oct 21 02:49:56 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
491 * gtype.c (g_type_conforms_to): this function basically behaves like
492 and is_a check, except that it _additionally_ features interfaces
493 for instantiatable types. enforce this in the second branch as well
494 (`type' conforms_to `type') even if `type' is not an interface type.
496 Fri Oct 20 15:31:04 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
498 * gvaluetypes.[hc]: added G_TYPE_POINTER implementation from jrb.
502 * gvaluetypes.c: added GTypeValueTable.value_peek_pointer and
503 suitable implementations of this for G_TYPE_STRING, G_TYPE_OBJECT
506 Mon Aug 21 04:13:37 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
508 * gbsearcharray.[hc]: long standing needed generic implementation
509 of a binary searchable, sorted and dynamically sized array.
511 2000-10-15 Raja R Harinath <harinath@cs.umn.edu>
513 * Makefile.am (BUILT_EXTRA_DIST): New variable.
514 (dist-hook): Handle $(BUILT_EXTRA_DIST).
515 (*): Remove traces of @STRIP_{BEGIN,END}@.
517 2000-09-29 Martin Baulig <baulig@suse.de>
519 Several minor ANSI C fixes.
522 * gtype.c (type_class_init):
523 `(gpointer) bnode->data->class.class_init_base'
524 in call to g_slist_prepend() and
525 'GBaseInitFunc class_init_base = (GBaseInitFunc) slist->data'.
527 * gobject.c: Put text following #endif into comments.
529 2000-09-25 Sebastian Wilhelmi <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>
531 * Makefile.am: Remove empty SUBDIRS line, as that prevents make
534 Sat Sep 9 20:04:13 2000 Owen Taylor <otaylor@redhat.com>
536 * gobject.c (g_object_last_unref): Move call to
537 g_type_free_instance() here from g_object_do_finalize,
538 since g_type_free_instance() can unload the object's
541 2000-07-27 Tor Lillqvist <tml@iki.fi>
543 * gobject.c: No, don't mark glib_debug_objects for export here,
544 it's handled specially in gtktypeutils.c.
546 * gobject.def: Export g_type_fundamental_last (the function).
548 2000-07-26 Tor Lillqvist <tml@iki.fi>
551 * gobject.c: Mark glib_debug_objects for export/import as it is
554 Sun Jul 23 17:23:35 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
556 * gtype.[hc]: make g_type_fundamental_last() a function, avoiding all
557 that extern variable clutter and avoiding further problems with thread
560 2000-07-19 Tor Lillqvist <tml@iki.fi>
565 * gtype.c: Shut up Sun's picky compiler.
567 2000-07-14 Tor Lillqvist <tml@iki.fi>
569 * gobject.def: Add g_type_get_plugin.
571 Thu Jul 13 02:07:54 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
573 * gparam.c (g_param_value_defaults): default initialize the temporary
574 default value, instead of nuking the caller's value contents.
576 2000-07-11 Raja R Harinath <harinath@cs.umn.edu>
578 * gtype.c (g_type_get_plugin): Don't return just 0 or 1.
580 Tue Jul 11 02:48:13 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
582 * gtype.[hc]: removed g_type_is_dynamic() and added g_type_get_plugin().
584 2000-07-10 Tor Lillqvist <tml@iki.fi>
586 * gobject-query.c: Include ../config.h for HAVE_UNISTD_H. Use it
587 to guard inclusion of <unistd.h>.
589 * gtype.h: Fix copy-paste errors in the ifdefs on how to declare a
590 variable for export. Call the macro GOBJECT_VAR.
592 * gtype.c: Declare _g_type_fundamental_last for export here, too.
593 (type_node_any_new): Use only constant expressions for sizeof
594 operator (for instance MSVC requires this).
596 * makefile.mingw.in: Define GOBJECT_COMPILATION.
598 Sun Jul 9 21:21:46 2000 Owen Taylor <otaylor@redhat.com>
600 * genums.c: Move string.h include into the .c file
601 instead of where it was in the .h file by mistake.
603 Thu Jul 6 15:30:27 2000 Owen Taylor <otaylor@redhat.com>
605 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): dist fixes.
607 * gobject.c: Add a global variable glib_debug_objects
608 (not in header file) to control object tracing.
610 2000-07-01 Tor Lillqvist <tml@iki.fi>
612 * gobject.def: Update added and renamed entry points.
614 * makefile.mingw.in: Add gvaluetypes.o.
616 Thu Jun 29 16:02:07 2000 Owen Taylor <otaylor@redhat.com>
618 * gobject.c:include string.h for memset
619 * genums.h: include string.h for strcpy
620 * gvalue.c: include string.h for memset, memcpy.
622 Sat Jun 24 23:03:04 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
624 * gtype.[hc]: provide G_TYPE_CHAR, G_TYPE_UCHAR, G_TYPE_BOOLEAN,
625 G_TYPE_INT, G_TYPE_UINT, G_TYPE_LONG, G_TYPE_ULONG, G_TYPE_FLOAT,
626 G_TYPE_DOUBLE and G_TYPE_STRING fundamental types.
627 added a GTypeValueTable* pointer to GTypeInfo structure for types
628 to implement GValue handling functions.
629 GTypeValueTable contains the following members:
630 value_init(): initialize a GValue structure.
631 value_free(): free GValue structure contents (optional).
632 value_copy(): copy one GValue contents to another GValue structure of
633 collect_type: varargs collection type for the first variable argument
634 to be collected by collect_value().
635 collect_value(): variable arguments collection function (optional).
636 lcopy_type: varargs collection type for the first variable argument
637 to be location copyied by lcopy_value().
638 lcopy_value(): variable arguments location copy function (optional).
639 g_type_value_table_peek(): new function to retrive the GTypeValueTable*
640 for a type node. ValueTables get inherited from parent types, unless
641 overridden through the GTypeInfo structure. internally, GTypeValueTable
642 support means an added overhead of one pointer per static or used
644 g_type_add_class_cache_func(): provide a cache_func/data pair to be
645 called prior to a type nodes last_unref() function, this can be used
646 to prevent premature class destruction. multiple installed cache_func()
647 will be chained upon last_unref() untill one of them returns TRUE.
648 the cache_func()s have to check the class id passed in to figure whether
649 they actually want to cache the class of this type (since all classes
650 are routed through the cache_func() chain).
651 g_type_remove_class_cache_func(): remove a previously installed
652 cache_func/data pair. the cache maintained by this function has to be
653 clear when calling g_type_remove_class_cache_func() to avoid leaks.
654 g_type_class_unref_uncached(): class unref function for cache_func()
655 implementations, unreferences a class omitting the cache chain (and
656 therefore unref->cache->unref->... loops).
658 * gvaluetypes.[hc]: provide the value setters/getters for the primitive
659 fundamental types boolean, char, uchar, int, uint, long, ulong, float,
662 * gvalue.[hc]: provide G_TYPE_IS_VALUE() in terms of whether a
663 GTypeValueTable is provided for this type.
664 removed g_value_init_default(), g_value_validate(), g_value_defaults(),
665 g_value_set_default() and g_values_cmp() as these are supplied by the
667 moved g_values_exchange() into the "implementation details" section,
668 since it just provides the underlying functionality for
671 * gvaluecollector.h: renamed the varargs value container from
672 GParamCValue to GTypeCValue as the value collection methods are
673 supplied by the type system now.
674 G_PARAM_COLLECT_VALUE() and G_PARAM_LCOPY_VALUE() got renamed to
675 G_VALUE_COLLECT() and G_VALUE_LCOPY() and operate without a
676 GParamSpec structure now.
678 * genums.h: macros cleanups/fixes.
680 * genum.c: provide G_TYPE_ENUM and G_TYPE_FLAGS type
681 and assorted g_value_{s|g}et_{enum|flags}() implementations.
684 provide G_IS_VALUE_OBJECT(), G_TYPE_OBJECT ValueTable methods
685 and g_value_{s|g}et_object().
687 * gparam.[hc]: reduced class to value_set_default(),
688 value_validate() and values_cmp(). also parameters now need to fill
689 in a GType value_type; field to indicate the GValue type they
690 are handling. provide g_param_value_set_default(),
691 g_param_value_defaults(), g_param_value_validate() and
692 g_param_values_cmp().
694 * gparamspecs.[hc]: got rid of the g_value_* functions and
695 the G_IS_VALUE_* macros. adapted param spec implementations
696 according to the GParamSpecClass changes.
698 Sat Jun 10 08:38:27 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
700 * gtype.c (type_class_init): fetch the nth iface entry of the
701 type node in the nth loop iteration, not alwys the first.
702 bug discovered by Walt Pohl <cher@suitware.com>.
703 (type_data_finalize_class_ifaces): same here, cut and paste
706 Wed Jun 7 09:21:05 2000 Owen Taylor <otaylor@redhat.com>
708 * Makefile.am (INCLUDES): Add top_builddir so glibconfig.h
709 is found properly when build srcdir != builddir. (Patch from
712 2000-05-13 Tor Lillqvist <tml@iki.fi>
716 * gobject.rc.in: New files, for Win32 (mingw) build.
718 * Makefile.am: Add to EXTRA_DIST. Add rules to produce the
719 corresponding non-*.in files.
721 * gtype.h: (Win32:) Mark _g_type_fundamental_last for
722 export/import from DLL.
724 Fri May 5 01:15:48 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
726 * gtype.h: add reserved fundamental ids for gtk types (for transition
727 time). added G_TYPE_FUNDAMENTAL_MAX for gtk.
729 Mon Apr 17 20:45:50 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
731 * glib-gobject.c (g_object_base_class_finalize): oops, don't unset
732 n_params prior to destructing them.
734 Tue Apr 11 04:28:10 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
736 * fixed a couple of bugs in the initial parameter/object
737 implementations, after getting beast running on GObject and GValue.
739 Fri Apr 7 04:27:49 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
741 * glib-gobject.[hc]: completed parameter set/get implementations,
742 along with asyncronous parameter changed notification queue.
744 Sun Apr 2 04:54:36 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
746 * glib-gobject.[hc]: GObject implementation, that is facilities
747 for setting/getting quarked data and reference counting.
749 * glib-gparamspecs.[hc]: first actuall parameter implementations
750 for GLib, so far we have: char, uchar, bool, int, uint, long,
751 ulong, enum, flags, float, double, string and object. each of these
752 GParamSpecs is a new instantiatable type in its own respect,
753 so the .c file derives 13 new types from G_TYPE_PARAM and
754 defines over 50 (*2) conversion facilities.
756 * glib-gvaluecollector.h: generic varargs handling stubs for
757 GParamSpecs, private header file (does get installed for
758 inclusion into user code though).
760 * glib-gvalue.[hc]: GValue functionality implementation.
762 * glib-gparam.[hc]: basis GParamSpec implementation for
763 the virtual base type G_TYPE_PARAM.
765 * glib-genums.[hc]: enum/flags type implementation, based on
768 * glib-gtype.[hc]: GLib Type System implementation, heavily
769 based on BSE's dynamic type system.
