Mon Dec 5 15:53:20 2005 Tim Janik * glib/gslice.c: implement chain walking for arbitrary ->next pointer offsets in g_slice_free_chain_with_offset() based on a patch by behdad in bug 323178. moved time consuming logic from g_slice_free() out of the inner loop, so g_slice_free_chain_with_offset() provides a real performance benefit over g_slice_free1() now. * glib/gslice.h: renamed g_slice_free_chain() to g_slice_free_chain_with_offset(). implemented g_slice_free_chain() as a type-safe macro as suggested in bug 323178. simplified the macro implementation of g_slice_free() and implemented it in a type safe manner for all compliers as suggested by Morten Welinder . * glib/gmain.c: * glib/glist.c: * glib/gslist.c: * glib/glib.symbols: s/g_slice_free_chain/g_slice_free_chain_with_offset/ 2005-12-05 Matthias Clasen * glib/gasyncqueue.c: Add some docs. * tests/libmoduletestplugin_a.c: Fix compiler warnings. * glib/gatomic.c: In the ia64 implementation, use __sync builtin without _si or _di suffix. (#321229, Stanislav Brabec, patch by Andreas Schwab) 2005-12-04 Behdad Esfahbod * glib/gslice.h: Remove comma at the end of enum. 2005-12-04 Matthias Clasen Handle multiple user names with the same UID better. (#319535, Laszlo Peter) * glib/gutils.c (g_get_any_init_do): When determining user data, first look up $LOGNAME. If the UID doesn't match getuid(), fall back to the current behaviour of looking up the user data based on getuid(). 2005-12-04 Matthias Clasen * glib/gmacros.h (G_GNUC_WARN_UNUSED_RESULT): Add a macro to make gcc warn if a function result is ignored. (#145466, Arjan van de Ven, Alex Larsson) * glib/gmem.h: Add the new attribute to g_realloc and g_try_realloc. 2005-12-03 Matthias Clasen * glib/glib.symbols: * glib/gcache.h: Deprecate g_cache_value_foreach. (#322956, Nicolas Caniart) * glib/gmappedfile.c: Make mapping of empty files work. (#321530) * glib/gfileutils.c: Don't fork a new process just to fix the permissions of the created temp file. (#321318, Alexis S. L. Carvalho) 2005-12-02 Matthias Clasen * README.in: Add a note about Solaris threads. * glib/gspawn.c: * configure.in: Remove support for Solaris threads. (#136971, Sebastian Wilhelmi, patch by Andrew Paprocki) 2005-12-02 Matthias Clasen * configure.in: Define G_GUINT64_CONSTANT in analogy to G_GINT64_CONSTANT. (#322568, Andrew Paprocki) 2005-12-02 Matthias Clasen * glib/gslice.c: Win32 portability fixes and C99ism removal, pointed out by Kazuki Iwamoto. (#323052) 2005-12-02 Matthias Clasen * glib/gatomic.c (g_atomic_int_add): Add a missing volatile for the IA64 implementation. Fri Dec 2 16:18:09 2005 Tim Janik * glib/gslice.c: some naming and type size fixups. Fri Dec 2 13:08:58 2005 Tim Janik * glib/gslice.h (g_slice_free): reworked GCC-specific type-safe macro variant into something less verbose, but digestible for gcc-3.4. Fri Dec 2 10:55:07 2005 Tim Janik * tests/slice-test.c: extended to perform the benchmarking on the old memchunk code if 'O' is selected. * tests/memchunks.c: new file which contains the old GLib mem chunks implementation with prefix old_mem_chunk_. * tests/Makefile.am: added memchunks.c Fri Dec 2 00:16:59 2005 Tim Janik * glib/gslice.c: improved gettimeofday() timer resolution by maintaining acceptable load distribution of the syscall. (allocator_get_magazine_threshold): reduce minimum/single-thread magazine sizes to approximately page_size/2.5 to avoid excessive startup allocations. 2005-12-01 Matthias Clasen * tests/gobject/ifacecheck.c (test_iface_base_init): Don't double-free base interface members. * tests/Makefile.am: Remove duplicate variable. Thu Dec 1 17:32:46 2005 Tim Janik * glib/gslice.[hc]: new slice allocator implementation. * tests/slice-test.c: added random slice allocation test. * glib/gthread.[hc]: removed newly added private thread mem API. * glib/gthreadinit.h: * glib/gmessages.c: * glib/gthread.c: * glib/gmem.c: divided glib threading initialisation into three phases, initialisation where private keys and messaging are not available (only needed by gmem.c), initialisation without messaging but private keys available (gslice.c, gmessage.c), and full fledged initialisers that server the rest of glib. initialisation functions got renamed to reflect the limitations of their corresponding phases. * glib/gmem.c: removed memchunk code, defer allocations to g_slice_* instead. * glib/gmem.[hc]: removed g_slice_* skeletons. * glib/glib.symbols: added g_slice_* symbols. * configure.in: check for availability of posix_memalign(3), memalign(3) and valloc(3). * glib/Makefile.am: added gslice.[hc]. 2005-12-01 Tor Lillqvist * glib/gstdio.c (g_stat): In the Win32 implementation, strip trailing slash(es) for non-root folders. stat() fails if non-root folders are specified with trailing slashes. It's too much hassle to demand that callers strip such slashes themselves, especially as it is easy to get it wrong and strip the slash of a root folder. (g_rename): On NT-based Windows, use MoveFileEx() with MOVEFILE_REPLACE_EXISTING to better match Unix behaviour. 2005-11-28 Matthias Clasen Fix G_STMT_START / G_STMT_END on Solaris. (#321972, Andrew Paprocki) * configure.in: Check whether do { } while (0) works. * glib/gmacros.h: Use do { } while (0) for G_STMT_START / G_STMT_END if it works. 2005-11-28 Matthias Clasen * glib/gthread.c (g_static_rw_lock_wait, g_static_rw_lock_signal): * glib/gnode.c (g_node_depth_traverse_level): * glib/gmem.c (g_allocator_new): * glib/ghash.c (g_hash_table_unref, g_hash_table_destroy) (g_hash_table_foreach_remove_or_steal): Silence compiler warnings. 2005-11-27 Matthias Clasen * glib/gunicollate.c (g_utf8_collate_key_for_filename): Don't read beyond len. (#322520, Christian Persch) Wed Nov 23 17:34:01 2005 Tim Janik * glib/gdataset.c: access datalist flags via atomic pointer access functions, instead of acquiring the dataset lock. this is faster and also matches the atomic pointer readouts in gdatalistprivate.h and direct pointer modifications required by gobject.c. Wed Nov 23 13:35:31 2005 Tim Janik * glib/gdataset.c: streamlined initialization code somewhat, removed GData node cache. 2005-11-22 Matthias Clasen * glib/ghash.c (g_hash_table_ref): (g_hash_table_unref): Mark these as new API. Avoid double locking in g_intern_string (#322133, Benedikt Meurer) * glib/gdataset.c (g_quark_from_string_internal): New internal function which factors out common parts of g_quark_from[_static]_string. (g_quark_from_string, g_quark_from_static_string): Use g_quark_from_string_internal. (g_intern_string, g_intern_static_string): Use g_quark_from_string_internal, and only take the lock once. (g_quark_new): Don't store the strings shifted by -1 in the g_quarks array. (g_quark_to_string): Adapt to the previous change. Tue Nov 22 14:04:26 2005 Tim Janik * glib/ghash.h: * glib/ghash.c: g_hash_table_new_full(): create hash tables with a ref count of 1. g_hash_table_ref(): atomically ref_count+=1 g_hash_table_unref(): atomically ref_count-=1, destroys hash table when refcount reaches 0. g_hash_table_destroy(): just destroy keys and values, unref by 1. g_hash_table_insert(): g_hash_table_replace(): assert ref_count>0. * glib/gatomic.h: * glib/gatomic.c: added 'volatile' qualifier to all atomic pointer and integer pointers. 2005-11-20 Behdad Esfahbod * glib/guniprop.c (g_unichar_get_mirror_char): Remove unused variables. (#321984, Andrew Paprocki) 2005-11-18 Matthias Clasen * configure.in: Bump version 2005-11-17 Matthias Clasen * === Released 2.9.0 === * glib/glib.symbols: Updates * glib/gutf8.c (g_utf8_offset_to_pointer): Add some performance hints to the docs. (Paolo Borelli) * NEWS: Updates * glib/gthread.c (g_thread_foreach): Mark as new api. * README.in: Updates. * glib/glib.symbols: * glib/gdate.h: * glib/gdate.c (g_date_set_time_t): (g_date_set_time_val): Add functions to set a date from a time_t and from a GTimeVal. (g_date_set_time): Deprecate. (#314067, Roger Leigh) * tests/Makefile.am: * tests/utf8-pointer.c: Unit tests for g_utf8_pointer_to_offset and g_utf8_offset_to_pointer. * glib/gutf8.c (g_utf8_pointer_to_offset) (g_utf8_offset_to_pointer): Handle negative offsets, and use "stutter stepping" for going backwards. (#320638, Larry Ewing) * glib/gbacktrace.c: * glib/gdate.c: * glib/gthread.c: const correctness fixes, found by Arjan van de Ven and gcc. 2005-11-16 Behdad Esfahbod * docs/reference/glib/tmpl/unicode.sgml: Correct typo on mentioning @G_UNICODE_BREAK_UNKNOWN that should be #G_UNICODE_BREAK_UNKNOWN. 2005-11-09 Behdad Esfahbod * glib/guniprop.c: Use bit hacks instead when checking a general category value against multiple values. * glib/gutf8.c: Change ISO10646 to Unicode in docs. 2005-11-10 Simos Xenitellis * configure.in: Added tt (Tatar) to ALL_LINGUAS. 2005-11-05 Tor Lillqvist * glib/giowin32.c (g_io_win32_set_flags): Don't call g_warning(). (#320688) Instead set error and return failure. 2005-11-07 Matthias Clasen * glib/gmain.c (g_main_dispatch): Don't call cb_funcs->unref while holding the context lock. (#320886, Andy Wingo) 2005-11-07 Billy Biggs * tests/refcount/Makefile.am: Add a missing reference to libglib in the LDADD for this test. 2005-11-07 Matthias Clasen * glib/gmem.c (g_allocator_new): We need to set n_preallocs to a nonzero value, otherwise GTK+ 2.8 breaks when compiled against GLib 2.9. (#320755, Luca Ferretti) 2005-11-04 Matthias Clasen * glib/Makefile.am: Apply a patch from Behdad Esfahbod to use a faster lookup table for g_unichar_get_mirror_char(). * glib/gmirroringtable.h: The new table. * glib/gunichartables.h: Remove bidi_mirroring_table. * glib/gen-unicode-tables.pl: Don't generate the mirroring table. * glib/glib-mirroring-tab/*: Sources for the program which generated gmirroringtable.h. * glib/glist.c: Avoid some code duplication. * glib/gscanner.h: Include gdataset.h. (#320322) * glib/gdebug.h: add new GDebugFlag for fatal_criticals * glib/gmessages.c: (_g_debug_init): handle G_DEBUG=fatal_criticals, to help find critical warnings in applications. (#320017, Vincent Untz) 2005-11-02 Tor Lillqvist * glib/glib.symbols: Remove large amount of trailing whitespace from one line. Remove #ifdef G_UNDEFINED from around g_hash_table_new and g_hash_table_new_full symbols, what was the purpose of that? Add the g_slice functions. Tue Nov 1 16:24:20 2005 Tim Janik * glib/gmem.[hc]: prepared deprecation of GMemChunk and GAllocator. added g_slice_*() API to allocate and cache small bits of memory. an actuall allocator implementation for g_slice_*() is still pending. * glib/gthread.[hc]: changes from a patch by Matthias Clasen. changed GRealThread list to use in-structure *next; fields instead of GSList, in order for thread iteration to not depenend on g_slice_*() indirectly. _g_thread_mem_private_get(): _g_thread_mem_private_set(): added accessors for private memory, needed because the ordinary GPrivate implementation relies on GArray and GSList and therefore indirectly on working g_slice_*() allocations. * glib/gthread.[hc]: g_thread_foreach(): new public API function to loop over all existing threads. * glib/gdataset.c: * glib/gstring.c: * glib/gcache.c: * glib/garray.c: * glib/gqueue.c: * glib/gslist.c: * glib/glist.c: * glib/ghash.c: * glib/gtree.c: * glib/ghook.c: * glib/gmain.c: * glib/gnode.c: removed GAllocator and free list usages and accompanying locks. use g_slice_*() API to allocate and cache small bits of memory. * glib/ghook.h: removed GMemChunk field from public API. * glib/gslist.h: * glib/glist.h: deprecate allocator API, provide _free1() for consistency. * glib/gnode.h: deprecate allocator API. * glib/gmain.c: reordered GPollRec fields so g_slice_free_chain() can be used for poll rec lists. * glib/grel.c: removed mem chunk usage, and allocated tuples via g_slice_*(). g_relation_destroy(): free all tuples from the all_tuples hash table, this effectively maintains the life time track keeping of tuples. g_relation_delete_tuple(): free tuples which are removed from the all_tuples hash table. this fixes a temporary leak that was present in the memchunk code until the destruction of the relation. 2005-10-29 Matthias Clasen * tests/convert-test.c: Add some tests for conversions between UTF-8, UCS-4 and UTF-16. * glib/gutf8.c (g_utf8_to_ucs4, g_utf8_to_utf16): Fix handling of len == -1, noticed by Morten Welinder. 2005-10-27 Erdal Ronahi * configure.in: Added ku (Kurdish) to ALL_LINGUAS 2005-10-26 Matthias Clasen * glib/gutf8.c (g_ucs4_to_utf8): Don't set items_read twice in the error case, and add some documentation. (#319806, Morten Welinder) 2005-10-19 Manish Singh * configure.in: Use AC_CHECK_FUNCS for _NSGetEnviron, to get the config.h symbol automatically. Fixes bug #313731. 2005-10-19 Tor Lillqvist * glib/gwin32.c (g_win32_get_package_installation_directory): Return a g_strdup()ed copy of the value stored in the hash table, so that it can be g_free()d without leaving a dangling pointer in the hash table. (#319232) 2005-10-06 Matthias Clasen * glib/gunicollate.c (g_utf8_collate_key_for_filename): Handle all-zero sequences correctly. (#317930, Sebastien Bacher) 2005-10-05 Matthias Clasen * glib/gmarkup.c (g_markup_escape_text): Doc addition * Makefile.am: Add Collation tests. * tests/collate/*: Inputs and expected outputs for collation tests. * tests/run-collate-tests.sh: Script to run collation tests. * tests/unicode-collate.c (main): Rework slightly to make it usable in unit tests. Also test g_utf8_collate_key_for_filename(). 2005-10-01 Behdad Esfahbod * docs/reference/glib/tmpl/unicode.sgml: * glib/gen-unicode-tables.pl: * glib/gunibreak.h: * glib/gunichartables.h: * glib/gunicode.h: * tests/casefold.txt: * tests/casemap.txt: Updated to Unicode 4.1. There are five new GUnicodeBreakType types. That may break some applications, like Pango <= 1.10. 2005-09-26 Matthias Clasen * glib/gstrfuncs.c (g_ascii_strtoull): Add details to the docs. (#314393, Matthew F. Barnes) * glib/glib.symbols: * glib/gprintf.h: Remove g_snprintf() and g_vsnprintf(), since they are already declared in glib.h. This doesn't break documented use of gprintf.h, but should probably be pointed out in the release notes for 2.10. (#314232, Behdad Esfahbod) Tue Sep 20 13:16:04 2005 Tim Janik * glib/gpattern.c (g_pattern_ph_match): applied significant recursion complexity optimization, based on a patch from Matthias Clasen. * tests/patterntest.c: more tests, mostly from matthias. 2005-09-20 Matthias Clasen * glib/gqueue.c (g_queue_insert_sorted): Correct the docs. (#316703, Mark Drago) Mon Sep 19 17:23:23 2005 Tim Janik * glib/gpattern.c: applied a patch from matthias which checks on the upper bound of GPatternSpec length to optimize matches. cosmetic fixups. * tests/patterntest.c: added more match cases. 2005-09-16 Tor Lillqvist * glib/gstrfuncs.c (g_ascii_strcasecmp, g_ascii_strncasecmp): Add warning to doc comment that these functions should not be used on encodings like CP932. 2005-09-14 Matthias Clasen * tests/keyfile-test.c: Add a test for grup names of length 1. * glib/gkeyfile.c (g_key_file_line_is_group): Accept group names of length 1. (#316309) 2005-09-12 Matthias Clasen * glib/gmarkup.c (g_markup_escape_text): Clarify docs. 2005-09-11 Sebastian Wilhelmi * tests/refcount/Makefile.am (INCLUDES): Link the the refcount tests to the system thread library $(G_THREAD_LIBS). Fixes #313744 and #314217. 2005-09-11 Kjartan Maraas * glib/gmain.c: (g_child_watch_prepare), (g_child_watch_check), (child_watch_helper_thread): Remove some dead code. Closes bug #315278. 2005-09-07 Tor Lillqvist * glib/Makefile.am: Create also a console version of the gspawn-win32-helper program, gspawn-win32-helper-console.exe. It's otherwise identical to gspawn-win32-helper.exe, except marked as a console application (linked without the -mwindows option). * glib/gspawn-win32.c (do_spawn_directly, do_spawn_with_pipes): Drop the dont_wait parameter. Its truth value correlated 100% with the NULLness of the exit_status parameter anyway, so it's enough to check whether exit_status is NULL. Invert the sense of the dont_return_handle parameter and rename it to do_return_handle, to make the code easier to read by avoiding double negations. (g_spawn_sync_utf8, g_spawn_async_with_pipes_utf8): Modify calls to do_spawn_with_pipes() accordingly. (do_spawn_with_pipes): If we have a console, use the console version of the helper program, otherwise use the GUI one. This avoids extra console windows opening up in some situations. (In case a console application uses the GUI gspawn-win32-helper.exe to spawn another console application we would get a separate console for the spawned console application). * glib-zip.in: Distribute also gspawn-win32-helper-console.exe. 2005-09-05 Matthias Clasen * glib/gmappedfile.c (g_mapped_file_new): Report an error if the file is too large. (#315275, Kjartan Maraas) * glib/gkeyfile.c (g_key_file_load_from_fd): The return value of read() is signed. (#315273, Kjartan Maraas) 2005-08-31 Tor Lillqvist * glib/gutils.h: Wrapping atexit() is a bad idea on Windows, where the EXE and each DLL have their own atexit function chains. #define g_atexit as atexit instead. This means it has a better chance of doing what the caller wants. For instance, gtkhtml calls g_atexit() registering a function in gtkhtml itself. This caused a crash when g_atexit() was implemented as a function in the GLib DLL. The gtkhtml DLL was already unloaded by the time the GLib DLL got unloaded. * glib/gutils.c: #undef the #define mentioned above, to also get a real g_atexit() into the DLL for backward compatibility. Document the Windows behaviour of g_atexit(), and document the varying ways atexit() can behave in the context of dynamically loaded modules on Unix. 2005-08-31 Matthias Clasen * glib/glib.symbols: * glib/gquark.h: * glib/gdataset.c: Add string interning functions. 2005-08-28 Matthias Clasen * glib/giochannel.c: Unify some near-duplicate strings. (#314654, Clytie Siddall) 2005-08-26 Matthias Clasen * configure.in: Bump version to 2.9.0 2005-08-25 Tor Lillqvist Make also the g_spawn*() functions take parameters in the GLib file name encoding, i.e. UTF-8, on Windows. Has no impact on Unix API or ABI. Like the other GLib API that was earlier changed to use UTF-8 on Windows, the names of the functions that take UTF-8 have _utf8 suffixes added by using preprocessor macros in the header file. The old names are kept for functions with the old behaviour, taking parameters in the system codepage, for DLL ABI stability. * glib/gspawn.h: On Win32 add the suffix _utf8 to the names of the g_spawn*() functions. * glib/gspawn-win32.c: Use wide-char API on NT-based Windows. Convert parameters from UTF-8 to wide chars (NT) or system codepage (Win9x) and call the C library _wspawn*() or spawn*() functions respectvely. Add DLL ABI stability versions that take parameters in the system codepage. * glib/gspawn-win32-helper.c: On NT-based Windows use the wide-char versions of argv and envp, and use wide-char API to change directory and spawn the program to run. Remove the verbose debugging output, it was too complex to modify for the wide-char features. (Just add temporary debugging printouts if needed, no need to have them permanently in the source.) * glib/gspawn.c: Corresponding documentation updates. * glib/glib.symbols: Corresponding changes: Mark the ABI stability symbols as PRIVATE, add the new _utf8-suffixed ones. 2005-08-24 Stepan Kasal * glib/gtypes.h (G_MININT64): Cast the constant to gint64; it is guint64 otherwise and that can produce warnings about comparison between signed and unsigned. 2005-08-23 Matthias Clasen * glib/gutils.c: Fix the crt_externs.h include. 2005-08-23 Stepan Kasal * NEWS: Fix spelling of my first name. 2005-08-23 Matthias Clasen * Bump version * === Released 2.8.1 === * NEWS: Updates 2005-08-20 Hans Breuer * glib/makefile.msc.in : link with ws2_32.lib 2005-08-18 Tor Lillqvist * configure.in: Check for * glib/gbacktrace.c: Include on if HAVE_SYS_WAIT_H. 2005-08-18 Ross Burton * glib/gstring.c: Optimise single-character insertions. * glib/gutf8.c: Note copied code. * tests/string-test.c: Add tests for new optimisation, and fix a leak. 2005-08-17 Matthias Clasen * configure.in: Check for crt_externs.h and _NSGetEnviron. * glib/gutils.c: On Darwin, include crt-externs.h and define environ using _NSGetEnviron(). (#313731) 2005-08-16 Stepan Kasal * glib/gutils.c (g_get_any_init): Move the body of the big if... (g_get_any_init_do): ... to this new function. (g_get_any_init): Declare as inline. (g_get_any_init_locked): New inline function, does the locking. Make use of these two throughout the code. 2005-08-15 Matthias Clasen * glib/gbacktrace.c (g_on_error_stack_trace): Wait for the child process and then simply return. This makes The "S" option work as documented in g_on_error_query(). (#313125, Matthew F. Barnes) * glib/gunicode.h: Update the link to Unicode category values.
