From 717f3d4abbe99467f07b05462d7651b08e69dd20 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Matthias Clasen Date: Mon, 8 Aug 2005 19:50:38 +0000 Subject: Enable the endianness test. 2005-08-08 Matthias Clasen * tests/convert-test.c: Enable the endianness test. * glib/gconvert.c: Make the caching of iconv descriptors optional. * configure.in: Add an --enable-iconv-cache option, and default to disabling iconv caching on new enough glibc. Somebody with access to Solaris systems will need to test if opening/closing of iconv descriptors is enough of a performance problem to warrant the caching on that platform. Note that the caching is causing correctness problems in some corner cases, thus turning it off is desirable unless it has severe performance implications. --- ChangeLog.pre-2-8 | 14 ++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 14 insertions(+) (limited to 'ChangeLog.pre-2-8') diff --git a/ChangeLog.pre-2-8 b/ChangeLog.pre-2-8 index d17cb9bb0..4b405fa19 100644 --- a/ChangeLog.pre-2-8 +++ b/ChangeLog.pre-2-8 @@ -1,5 +1,19 @@ 2005-08-08 Matthias Clasen + * tests/convert-test.c: Enable the endianness test. + + * glib/gconvert.c: Make the caching of iconv descriptors + optional. + + * configure.in: Add an --enable-iconv-cache option, and + default to disabling iconv caching on new enough glibc. + Somebody with access to Solaris systems will need to test + if opening/closing of iconv descriptors is enough of + a performance problem to warrant the caching on that + platform.
