This was used as an optimisation for the macro hackery that used to live
in gthread.h. If a particular library or program knew that it could
rely on thread support being enabled, it would allow for static
evaluation of conditionals in some of those macros.
Since the macros are dead and thread support is now always-on, we can
get rid of this bit of legacy.
And remove the 'joinable' argument from g_thread_new() and
g_thread_new_full().
Change the wording in the docs. Clarify expectations for
(deprecated) g_thread_create().
enums are stored in v_long but need to be marshalled as signed
integers. On platforms where int is 32 bits, taking the
address of v_long resulted in the wrong 32 bits being marshalled.
So we need to stuff the enum's int-sized value to a temporary
int-sized variable and marshall that instead.
Second, on return, libffi actually returns a pointer to a value
that's sized according to platform conventions, not according to
what the caller requested. ie if ffi_type_sint was requested, the
value can still be a 64-bit sign-extended long on a 64-bit
architecture like PPC64, thus the caller cannot simply cast
the return value as a pointer to the desired type, but must cast
as a pointer to an integral type and then cast to the desired
type to remove any sign extension complications.
For more information on how to correctly handle libffi return
values, see the following bug, specifically comment 35:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=736489
"For 64-bit ABIs that extend integral returns types to 64-bits, libffi always
returns full 64-bit values that you can truncate in the calling code. It's
just the way it is has always been. Please don't change libffi. I'll document
this clearly for the next version (perhaps there is a mention of this, I
haven't looked yet).
The same is true for returning 8-bit values, for instance, on 32-bit systems.
All ABIs extend those results to the full 32-bits so you need to provide a
properly aligned buffer that's big enough to hold the result."

These were the last users of the dynamic allocation API.
Keep the uses in glib/tests/mutex.c since this is actually meant to test
the API (which has to continue working, even if it is deprecated).
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=660739
It's impossible to check this if the library user is using
g_type_register_static, but in that case their compiler should hopefully
warn about the truncation. This fixes it for G_DEFINE_TYPE and friends,
at least.

The documentation for G_TYPE_CHAR says:
"The type designated by G_TYPE_CHAR is unconditionally an 8-bit signed
integer."
However the return value for g_value_get_char() was just "char" which
in C has an unspecified signedness; on e.g. x86 it's signed (which
matches the GType), but on e.g. PowerPC or ARM, it's not.
We can't break the old API, so we need to suck it up and add new API.
Port most internal users, but keep some tests of the old API too.

G_THREADS_ENABLED still exists, but is always defined. It is still
possible to use libglib without threads, but gobject (and everything
above it) is now guaranteed to be using threads (as, in fact, it was

--disable-threads).

Some links were broken due to typos, because functionality was removed

reasonable.
The implementation of GValue is not public or documented. When
allocated on the stack, initializing a GValue is usually done as
documented with:
GValue value = { 0, };
There is lot code around (including WebKit) that added all the missing
fields, resulting in this ugly and non-obvious:
GValue value = { 0, { { 0 } } };
However, this doesn't play nice with -Wmissing-field-initializers for
example. Thus, G_VALUE_INIT.

In an attempt to avoid some potential future abuses of the GParamSpec
API, qualify the 'name' field of the structure as 'const' and add a
comment noting that it is an interned string.
This is a theoretical API break, but it will only ever result in
warnings -- and even then, only if you were already doing something
questionable.
Clean up some of the warnings that were caused internally in gparam.c
from these changes.
This function implements the following logic:
if (g_variant_is_floating (value))
g_variant_ref_sink (value);
which is used for consuming the return value of callbacks that may or
may not return floating references.
This patch also replaces a few instances of the above code with the new
function (GSettings, GDBus) and lifts a long-standing restriction on the
use of floating values as the return value for signal handlers by
improving g_value_take_variant().

Rather than having the gtk-doc build machinery have a list of header

header files generated from the maintained Makefile.am files for
each of glib/, gobject/, gio/.
Also, for glib, always install glib-unix.h, even on non-Unix
platforms, for the same reason we install gwin32.h even on Unix.

The check for _MSC_VER here is not necessary here because:
-One cannot compile GLib out-of-the-box with VS 2003 (let alone VS6
or earlier) since GLib 2.22.4 or so.
-This code compiles fine with the currently-supported VS versions
(2008/2010) without the error mentioned in the comments.

- remove all inline assembly versions
- implement the atomic operations using either GCC intrinsics, the
Windows interlocked API or a mutex-based fallback
- drop gatomic-gcc.c since these are now defined in the header file.
Adjust Makefile.am accordingly.
- expand the set of operations: support 'get', 'set', 'compare and
exchange', 'add', 'or', and 'xor' for both integers and pointers
- deprecate g_atomic_int_exchange_and_add since g_atomic_int_add (as
with all the new arithmetic operations) now returns the prior value
- unify the use of macros: all functions are now wrapped in macros that
perform the proper casts and checks
- remove G_GNUC_MAY_ALIAS use; it was never required for the integer
operations (since casting between pointers that only vary in
signedness of the target is explicitly permitted) and we avoid the
need for the pointer operations by using simple 'void *' instead of
'gpointer *' (which caused the 'type-punned pointer' warning)
- provide function implementations of g_atomic_int_inc and
g_atomic_int_dec_and_test: these were strictly macros before
- improve the documentation to make it very clear exactly which types
of pointers these operations may be used with
- remove a few uses of the now-deprecated g_atomic_int_exchange_and_add
- drop initialisation of gatomic from gthread (by using a GStaticMutex
instead of a GMutex)
- update glib.symbols and documentation sections files

The hash table used exclusively for looking up types by name used to map
quarks => types. But we can easily make it map strings => types, which
avoids the quark lookup. And that in trun avoids taking a lock and
consulting another hash table. So this change should make
g_type_from_name() roughly twice as fast.
In some cases, signal arguments have to be collected, even if there are i

I couldn't tell from reading the documentation whether I had to pass in
an uninitialized value, or a value initialized to the exact type, or
something else. It turns out (from reading the source) that you have to
pass in an initialized value, but you can use any type to which the
property's actual type can be transformed.
So, let's document this.
The code section guarded with toggle_refs_mutex includes a call to
g_object_unref(), which may call toggle_refs_notify(). As the latter
tries to acquire the same mutex, glib locks up.

Previously, dumping a GValue holding a GStrv just yielded "((GStrv *)

Since we added g_object_notify_by_pspec(), an efficient way to install

Instead of multiple calls to g_object_class_install_property(), we
should have a single function to take the static array of GParamSpecs

Don't include glib/gdatasetprivate.h directly. Especially don't define
GLIB_COMPILATION when doing that, as that causes breakage on Windows
because of the variable dllimport/dllexport stuff in gtypes.h that
checks GLIB_COMPILATION. That macro really should be defined only when
compiling code that goes into the libglib DLL. Otherwise the compiler
thinks that variables that should be imported from libglib are
actually defined in the code being compiled.
Just call g_atomic_pointer_get() as such, don't bother with
G_DATALIST_GET_FLAGS.

The gdatasetprivate.h header includes gatomic.h directly. It all works
well in GLib, but inside GObject it will trigger the single inclusion
guard.
Since this is a private header, and it's kind of a special case, one way
to fix it is to declare GLIB_COMPILATION around it and fool the single
inclusion guard in gatomic.h into thinking we're compiling GLib and not
GObject.
g_object_class_list_properties tries to sort the returned list of
paramspecs by 'type depth' and param_id. But all the overridden
interface properties have a param_id of 0, so they come out in
a random order.
Bug 628253.
The previous code dedup'd when thawing and threw nasty warnings your way
if you notified too often. This can now easily be avoided.
Performance should be roughly identical, as both are O(n²).
The g_object_bind_property_with_closures() function should set a
marshaller if the two GClosures don't have one already. This simplifies
the caller code and avoids duplication.
We need to add a new marshaller to the gmarshal.list matching the
signature of the GBindingTransformFunc function.
Since GSettings got the same functionality and flag in commit ca3b7b75b
GBinding should also have the ability to automatically invert a boolean
value without requiring a custom transformation function.
Since using the function pointer version muddles the memory management
requirements of language bindings, we should implement a GClosure-based
variant on top of g_object_bind_property_full().
