Wed Jan 25 16:39:18 2006 Tim Janik * glib/gslice.c: honour g_mem_gc_friendly settings when freeing slices, make sure g_mem_gc_friendly is properly initialized. * gmem.[hc]: ensure g_mem_gc_friendly is initialized from G_DEBUG upon the first allocation. applied some branching optimizations. * docs/macros.txt: reflected --enable-gc-friendly change and described ENABLE_GC_FRIENDLY_DEFAULT as well as G_DEBUG=gc-friendly. * configure.in: changed --enable-gc-friendly=yes to define ENABLE_GC_FRIENDLY_DEFAULT. * glib/garray.c: changed ENABLE_GC_FRIENDLY macro #ifdef-s to if (G_UNLIKELY (g_mem_gc_friendly)). * glib/gtree.c: * glib/ghash.c: removed ENABLE_GC_FRIENDLY code which is now taken care of by g_slice_free1(). * tests/slice-test.c: fixed leaks, reported by Kjartan Maraas. Tue Jan 24 17:49:36 2006 Tim Janik * glib/gslice.c: only use posix_memalign() if it's known to work, revert to memalign() otherwise. * configure.in: check for broken posix_memalign() implementations to fix #328254. 2006-01-24 Matthias Clasen * tests/unicode-encoding.c: Use UTF-16LE as target encoding on all little-endian systems. (#143380, Marc Moorcroft) 2006-01-23 Matthias Clasen * configure.in: Change the shared libary extension for hpux-ia64 to so. (#328253, The Written Word) Mon Jan 23 17:30:33 2006 Tim Janik * glib/gutils.c (_g_getenv_nomalloc): wiped out all the wonderfull G_OS_WIN32 code i wrote ;-[) after tml told me windows has getenv() as well. Mon Jan 23 16:46:20 2006 Tim Janik * glib/gslice.c (slice_config_init): initialize GSlice config from G_SLICE environment variable. we support G_SLICE=always-malloc currently, which forces all g_slice_*() allocations to use the system malloc instead. * glib/gutils.c: g_parse_debug_string(): added a note about not using g_malloc() here. _g_getenv_nomalloc(): getenv() variant that doesn't use g_malloc or g_slice. contains only guesswork in the WIN32 branch. 2006-01-18 Matthias Clasen * Bump version * === Released 2.9.4 === * NEWS: Updates 2006-01-17 Matthias Clasen * glib/gkeyfile.c (g_key_file_get_groups): Correct a g_new0() call. (#327421, Morten Welinder) 2006-01-17 Sebastian Wilhelmi * glib/gthreadpool.c: To avoid deadlocks get rid of the settings G_LOCK. Use the unused_thread_queue lock instead. Change g_thread_pool_thread_proxy such that threads only wait on non-exlusive pools for at most a 1/2 second. Do not reorder tasks due to superfluous tasks. Global tasks wait at most for max-idle-time milliseconds. Make sure, that no task is woken up twice for the same event via a wakeup_serial. This fixes #324228. * tests/threadpool-test.c: Adapt test accordingly. Do not pass invalid NULL into the thread pools. This as well fixes #327290. 2006-01-16 Matthias Clasen * configure.in: Bump version * === Released 2.9.3 === * NEWS: Updates * glib/gthread.h (g_static_mutex_get_mutex_impl_shortcut): Rework the strict aliasing fix to not break C++, pointed out by Murray Cumming. * glib/gasyncqueue.c (g_async_queue_push_sorted_unlocked): Signal waiting threads, problem noticed by Christian Kellner. 2006-01-16 Matthias Clasen Fix bug 326747, Alberto Ruiz: * glib/gconvert.c (make_valid_utf8): Change this function to replace unknown characters by the Unicode replacement character instead of '?', and don't append "(invalid encoding)".

(#325249, Jani Monoses) 2006-01-01 Tor Lillqvist * glib/gspawn-win32.c (g_spawn_sync_utf8): Set the GIOChannels for stdout and stderr to unbuffered. Otherwise the giochannel layer will try to read from them regardless whether the g_io_channel_win32_poll() call here has indicated readability or not. (#325310) 2005-12-29 Matthias Clasen * glib/gutils.c (glib_check_version): Fix a copy-and-paste error in the docs.

(#324479, Martyn Russell) * tests/threadpool-test.c: Test this. Tue Dec 20 18:14:14 2005 Tim Janik * glib/gslice.[hc]: added mem_error() and mem_assert() to test and handle errors without depending on gmessage.c which might not be setup when the error occours. removed G_SLICE_CONFIG_ALWAYS_FREE config option, fixed the code so always freeing can be achieved by adjusting the working set time to 0 with G_SLICE_CONFIG_WORKING_SET_MSECS. added G_SLICE_CONFIG_COLOR_INCREMENT to test different color increments (mainly 0 and 1). reduced the minimum block size to 128 bytes, to minimize wastage if small amounts of differently sized structrues are allocated, this does come at a performance cost of roughly 5% though. fixed up block alignment calculation, so it works for varying block sizes. only use strerror() not g_strerror() since the latter depends on working GQuark and GSlice. mem_error(): implemented in terms of fprintf and vfprintf. * tests/slice-color.c: new program to test cache colorization effects. * tests/slice-test.c: trade G_SLICE_CONFIG_ALWAYS_FREE for 0 duration G_SLICE_CONFIG_WORKING_SET_MSECS. 2005-12-17 Matthias Clasen * glib/goption.c (parse_short_option): Set an error in all failure cases. (#324332, Tim-Philipp Müller) 2005-12-17 Sebastian Wilhelmi * glib/gatomic.c: Fix memory barrier position in g_atomic_int_get and g_atomic_pointer_get. Add g_atomic_int_set and g_atomic_pointer_set implementations for the !DEFINE_WITH_MUTEXES && G_ATOMIC_OP_MEMORY_BARRIER_NEEDED case, as well as defining them as functions (additionally to the macros in the header) for the !G_ATOMIC_OP_MEMORY_BARRIER_NEEDED case. 2005-12-16 Matthias Clasen * glib/gmem.c (g_allocator_new): Don't return a pointer to a const struct, since apps expect to be able to modify it. (#324179, J. Ali Harlow) Tue Dec 13 10:13:32 2005 Tim Janik * glib/gatomic.h: added g_atomic_pointer_set() and g_atomic_int_set() for systems where the initialization of atomic variables requires a write memory barrier. 2005-12-09 Matthias Clasen * configure.in: Bump version * === Released 2.9.1 === 2005-12-09 Alexander Larsson * glib/glist.h: * glib/gslist.h: Use G_GNUC_WARN_UNUSED_RESULT on list functions that return the whole list. 2005-12-08 Matthias Clasen * NEWS: Updates 2005-12-07 Martyn Russell * glib/gasyncqueue.c: - Call g_queue_insert_sorted() instead of duplicating the code. - Call g_queue_sort() instead of duplicating the code. - Invert sort function results to make sure the same sort function gives the same results across glist, gslist, gqueue and gasyncqueue. * tests/asyncqueue-test.c: - Updated the sort function to reflect the example in the documentation for gasyncqueue.c. 2005-12-07 Martyn Russell * docs/reference/glib/glib-sections.txt: * docs/reference/glib/tmpl/linked_lists_double.sgml: * docs/reference/glib/tmpl/linked_lists_single.sgml: * glib/glist.[ch]: * glib/gslist.[ch]: - Added g_list_insert_sorted_with_data () and g_slist_insert_sorted_with_data (). - Removed the extra check in g_list_sort() and g_slist_sort() for GCompareDataFunc vs. GCompareFunc. 2005-12-07 Tor Lillqvist * glib-gettextize.in: Look up prefix at run-time on Win32, assuming the standard directory structure with glib-gettextize in $prefix/bin. 2005-12-06 Matthias Clasen * glib/gmem.h: Exempt GTK+ from the mem chunk deprecation, since we need GTK+ 2.8 to compile against GLib 2.10. 2005-12-05 Manish Singh * tests/run-collate-test.sh: set LC_COLLATE, not LANG, to be sure to override any user settings. 2005-12-05 Matthias Clasen * configure.in: Revert an accidential commit 2005-12-05 Matthias Clasen * glib/gutf8.c: Documentation updates.

(#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.

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.

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.

(#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.

(#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.

(#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. (#313369, Behnam Esfahbod) * glib/gqueue.c (g_queue_find_custom): Clarify docs a little. (#311727, Tristan van Berkom) * glib/abicheck.sh, gobject/abicheck.sh: Make the check work on ia64 too, where some symbols ended up in yet another section.
