* docs/reference/gobject/tmpl/gtype.sgml: explain that
G_TYPE_INSTANCE_GET_CLASS() does behave different during
initialization
2005-05-05 Owen Taylor <otaylor@redhat.com>
* gobject.[ch] gobject.symbols: Add
g_object_add/remove_toggle_ref() functions to get notification
when a reference count is the last remaining reference; this
enables better memory management for language bindings.
(http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gtk-devel-list/2005-April/msg00095.html)
2005-05-05 Owen Taylor <otaylor@redhat.com>
* glib/gdataset.[ch] glib/gdatasetprivate.h: Add
g_datalist_set/unset_flags(), g_datalist_get_flags() functions
to squeeze some bits into a GDataSet... this is needed for
efficient implementation of toggle references in GObject.
* tests/gobject/references.c tests/gobject/Makefile.am:
Add a test case for weak and toggle references.
* glib/gfileutils.[ch]: Rename g_file_replace() back
to g_file_set_contents().
* glib/glib.symbols: Update.
2005-05-05 Owen Taylor <otaylor@redhat.com>
* glib/Makefile.am glib/glib-sections.txt gobject/gobject-sections.txt:
Update
* gobject/tmpl/objects.sgml: Document toggle-references.
2004-10-23 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
* gtype.h (GTypeInterfaceCheckFunc): Rename first parameter to
check_data, since apparently the system headers on AIX leak a
macro named func_data. (#155178, Andrea Campi)
Sun Jun 6 23:20:42 2004 Matthias Clasen <maclas@gmx.de>
* gobject/tmpl/gtype.sgml: Fix the docs for G_DEFINE_TYPE()
and friends. (#143800, Crispin Flowerday)
Sun Mar 14 11:00:41 2004 Owen Taylor <otaylor@redhat.com>
* gobject/tmpl/signals.sgml: Document the fact that
g_signal_connect_object() does *not* remove the signal
when the object is disconnected currently and describe
a workaround to prevent memory leaks.
2003-12-30 Murray Cumming <murrayc@usa.net>
* gobject/glib-mkenums.in: Added a lowercase_name option, to be used
next to the enum declaration, where the flag option is already used,
when it is not possible to guess where to put the underscores in the
_get_type() function name, for instance for GNOMEVFSURIHide.
Thu Oct 23 12:38:24 2003 Owen Taylor <otaylor@redhat.com>
* === Released 2.3.0 ===
* tests/gobject/Makefile.am (dist-hook): Remove
and extra backslash.
* tests/gobject/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add
testmarshal.list.
* glib/Makefile.am (libglib_2_0_la_SOURCES): Add
missing gunicode-private.h.
* tests/testglib.c (main): Fix a warning.
* tests/gobject/ifaceinherit.c: Remove check that
wasn't supposed to work (adding an interface already
added to the derived class to the base class),
fix a bug.
Mon Oct 20 20:38:06 2003 Matthias Clasen <maclas@gmx.de>
* gobject/gobject.i: Removed...
* gobject/gobject.cI: ...and readded.
* gobject/gobject.types: Change to the standard file
extension for included hunks of C code.
Mon Oct 20 20:34:33 2003 Matthias Clasen <maclas@gmx.de>
* gobject/Makefile.am (INCLUDES): Add $(top_builddir)/glib
as an include dir again, this time for real.
Sat Oct 18 00:04:22 2003 Matthias Clasen <maclas@gmx.de>
* gobject/gobject.types: List GObject here, since the
documentation misses the notify signal otherwise. Needs
a little bit of a hack to work around a gtkdoc-scangobj
limitation, see the comment in gobject/gobject.i.
* gobject/gobject.i: New file, containing a trivial
g_object_get_type() function.
Sun Oct 5 23:23:53 2003 Matthias Clasen <maclas@gmx.de>
* gobject/glib-sections.txt:
* gobject/gobject-sections.txt: Fix includes.
* gobject/tmpl/value_collection.sgml: Add docs found in the
header.
2003-09-12 Matthias Clasen <maclas@gmx.de>
Make the g_value_set_x_take_ownership() functions "official"
part of the API (#100948):
* gvaluetypes.[hc]: Add g_value_take_string() (synonym to the
now deprecated g_value_set_string_take_ownership()).
* gparam.[hc]: Add g_value_take_param() (synonym to the
now deprecated g_value_set_param_take_ownership()).
* gobject.[hc]: Add g_value_take_object() (synonym to the
now deprecated g_value_set_object_take_ownership()).
* gboxed.[hc]: Add g_value_take_boxed() (synonym to the
now deprecated g_value_set_boxed_take_ownership()).
* gobject/gobject-sections.txt: Add new g_value_take_x() functions.
* gobject/tmpl/param_value_types.sgml: Document new g_value_take_x()
functions. (#100948)
Tue Sep 2 19:37:21 2003 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* gtype.[hc]: added support for a "default vtable" per interface,
that interface vtables are initialized from.
the default vtable is initialized and finalized through class_init,
class_finalize and class_data from the interfaces GTypeInfo struct.
(type_data_last_unref_Wm): unload child plugin before unreffing
parent type.
testifaceinit.c: minor fixups. fixed up base_init() assertions, since
with a default vtable, base_init() may be called multiple times.
added default initializer to iface1.
Mon Aug 25 14:16:48 2003 Owen Taylor <otaylor@redhat.com>
* gtypemodule.c (g_type_module_register_type): Clarify
docs on the return. Fix a memory leak if a type with a
value table is reloaded.
2003-06-17 Matthias Clasen <maclas@gmx.de>
* acinclude.m4 (JH_PATH_XML_CATALOG, JH_CHECK_XML_CATALOG): New
macros to check for XML catalog contents and path, borrowed from
gtk-doc.
* configure.in: New option --enable-man to enable regeneration of
man pages from Docbook, if the necessary tools are found.
* gobject/Makefile.am: Add rule to regenerate man pages from
Docbook.
(man_MANS): Add glib-mkenums.1, glib-genmarshal.1 and gobject-query.1.
(content_files): Add glib-mkenums.xml, glib-genmarshal.xml and
gobject-query.xml.
* gobject/glib-mkenums.xml:
* gobject/glib-genmarshal.xml:
* gobject/gobject-query.xml: New refentries.
* gobject/glib-mkenums.1:
* gobject/glib-genmarshal.1:
* gobject/gobject-query.1: Man pages generated from the .xml
sources.
* gobject/gobject-docs.sgml: Include glib-mkenums.xml,
glib-genmarshal.xml and gobject-query.xml.
* glib/Makefile.am: Add rule to regenerate man pages from
Docbook.
(man_MANS): Add glib-gettextize.1.
(content_files): Add glib-gettextize.xml.
* glib/glib-gettextize.xml: New refentry.
* glib/glib-gettextize.1: Man page generated from the .xml source.
* glib/glib-docs.sgml: Include glib-gettextize.xml.
2003-03-01 James Henstridge <james@daa.com.au>
* autogen.sh: require automake 1.7. Add calls to libtoolize and
gtkdocize. Clean up some of the error messages.
* configure.in: move version declaration to the top of the file
(before AC_INIT), using M4 macros.
GLIB_AC_DIVERT_BEFORE_HELP() calls no longer necessary, due to use
of M4 macro expansion in help messages instead.
Convert AC_ARG_WITH/AC_ARG_ENABLE calls to use AC_HELP_STRING to
format help strings. Use quadrigraphs to get square brackets to
show correctly.
Replace gtk-doc checks with a call to GTK_DOC_CHECK() macro.
Use AC_CONFIG_COMMANDS([glibconfig.h], ...) to output
glibconfig.h, so that "./config.status glibconfig.h" works.
Add an extra AC_CONFIG_FILES call listing other files we want
generated by config.status protected by an "if false" block. This
way automake generates the rules needed to rebuild the files for
us.
Add quotes in various places.
* docs/reference/*/Makefile.am: convert to use the common
gtk-doc.make file. This localises the complexity to a single
makefile fragment maintained with gtk-doc itself.
* */Makefile.am: remove unneeded rules to build win32 files with
config.status. Automake now does this for us.
Replace instances of @FOO@ with $(FOO) where appropriate -- this
allows automake to do a better job checking the makefile.
Add some files to DISTCLEANFILES where appropriate
* Makefile.am: use the DISTCHECK_CONFIGURE_FLAGS variable to
ensure that --enable-gtk-doc is passed to configure during a
distcheck. Remove the custom distcheck, since the standard one
will now do.
* gobject/Makefile.am: switch to BUILT_SOURCES, since that now
works.
Mon Dec 2 16:34:13 2002 Owen Taylor <otaylor@redhat.com>

Includes additional encodings for Solaris (#80396,
Qingjiang Yuan)
* configure.in: Add getc_unlocked to CHECK_FUNCS().

the original string. (#78197)
2002-02-14 James Henstridge <james@daa.com.au>
* m4macros/glib-gettext.m4: add third argument to the AC_DEFINE
calls, so users of the macro don't need to add entries to
acconfig.h in their package.
Tue Jan 29 11:18:44 2002 Owen Taylor <otaylor@redhat.com>
* 1.3.13
* NEWS: Updated.
* configure.in: Micro == 13, binary age, interface age 0.
[ binary breakage was return type of g_signal_connect_object(),
probably could have used binary age == 0, but a little safer not to.]
* configure.in: Remove configure warning.
Wed Nov 28 18:34:22 2001 Owen Taylor <otaylor@redhat.com>
* glib/gmain.[ch]: Rename (private) GSource.id and
id parameter to g_main_context_find_source_by_id()
to avoid problems with Objective C where 'id' is
a keyword. (#65616)
Sun Nov 25 22:33:32 2001 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* gtype.h: removed enum GTypeFundamentals. use macros
to provide the constant fundamental type IDs, so they
all return numbers of type GType, and not int.
sizeof(GTypeFundamentals) < sizeof(GType) problem reported
and fix sugegsted by Havoc.
Thu Nov 22 00:26:26 2001 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* gtype.[hc]: provide G_TYPE_FUNDAMENTAL_SHIFT and
g_type_fundamental_next() to return next usable fundamental
type. use TypeNode pointers as type IDs.
Wed Nov 21 17:23:33 2001 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* gparamspecs.[hc]: put newly created param spec types into a
global array.
* gboxed.[hc]: moved boxed types with _get_type() function here,
for: G_TYPE_CLOSURE, G_TYPE_VALUE, G_TYPE_VALUE_ARRAY,
G_TYPE_GSTRING.
* gtype.h: removed fundamental branch APIs and derived enum
values.
Tue Nov 13 21:31:58 2001 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* gobject/tmp/param_value_types.sgml: list parameter and
value types.

functions.
* gobject/*: section cleanups.
Fri Oct 26 11:42:50 2001 Owen Taylor <otaylor@redhat.com>
* */Makefile.am: Remove $(srcdir)/html before building
HTML to prevent stale files. Dist all files in html/
Fri Oct 12 18:24:02 2001 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* glib/gpattern.[hc]: make struct _GPatternSpec and GMatchType
private.
(g_pattern_equal): new function to return equality of two patterns
(required because GPatternSpec is private now).
(g_pattern_spec_new): fix bug wrg wildcard counting which produced
incorrect pattern specs (discovered by Matthias Clasen).
optimized code so we just keep one compiled pattern string now.
correctly canonicalize patterns. reduce string walks, optimize
decision about MATCH_ALL vs. MATCH_ALL_TAIL.
(g_pattern_match_string): call just g_pattern_match() with NULL
reversed string.
(g_pattern_match): allow NULL reversed strings now, reverse_dup
strings on demand.
* tests/patterntest.c (test_compilation): added an extended testcase
for pattern matching from Matthias Clasen <matthiasc@poet.de>.
Sat Oct 13 06:58:23 2001 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* glib/tmpl/patterns.sgml: amended documentation.

direct accesses in third party code.
provide g_param_get_nick(), g_param_get_blurb() and
g_param_get_name() accessors.
Mon Sep 10 20:31:37 2001 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* gobject.[hc]: removed extraneous GObject* returns from a
couple functions that are very unlikely to be used in nested.
changed gpointer->GObject* for a couple return values/arguments.
this fixes#50206.
Mon Sep 10 17:13:36 2001 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* glib/gmessages.h: got rid of g_set_error_handler(),

* gobject/tmpl/gboxed.sgml: documented some functions.
* gobject/tmpl/objects.sgml: some fixups.
Mon Sep 10 19:27:47 2001 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* gtype.[hc]:
g_type_add_interface*(): implement the ability to add an interface to
a type whose parents already conform to this interface.
such "overriding" interfaces, when initialized, are not just initialized
with 0, but with a copy of the interface they override.
g_type_interface_peek_parent(): new function, return the interface
that this interface "overrides", if any.
* testgruntime.c: test new interface stuff.
2001-08-06 Sven Neumann <sven@gimp.org>
* glib/gutils.[ch]: added new function g_nullify_pointer().
* gobject/gobject.[ch]:
added new functions g_object_[add|remove]_weak_pointer().
Sat Jun 30 23:14:32 2001 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* glib/glist.[hc]: added g_list_insert_before().
* glib/gslist.c (g_slist_insert_before): provide an implementation,
prototype was already present...
Sat Jun 30 11:07:00 2001 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* gobject.[hc]: provide weak_ref/weak_unref functions,
invoked from ->dispose. renamed ->shutdown() to ->dispose(),
provide "public" API entry here: g_object_run_dispose(), this
fucntion should _only_ be called from object system implementations
(e.g. gtkobject.c) if at all.
* gtypemodule.c (g_type_module_dispose): s/shutdown/dispose/
* gsignal.h: removed compat aliases.
* gobject.c (g_object_connect): support data objects.
Thu Jun 28 22:49:40 2001 Owen Taylor <otaylor@redhat.com>
* gtype.[ch] gobject-query.c testgruntime.c: Remove
debug flag argument to g_type_init() and add
g_type_init_with_debug_flags().
Thu Jun 28 16:57:44 2001 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* configure.in (GLIB_MICRO_VERSION): up version number to 1.3.7,
interface age 0, binary age 0.
Thu Jun 28 16:42:49 2001 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* gsignal.c (g_signal_lookup):
(g_signal_list_ids): give elaborate warnings about invalid types,
non-instantiatable types and unloaded types that we can't operate on.
* gparam.[hc]: g_param_spec_pool_belongings() ->
g_param_spec_pool_list_owned().
* gsignal.[hc]: renamed:
g_signal_newc -> g_signal_new
g_signal_disconnect_by_func -> g_signal_handlers_disconnect_by_func
g_signal_block_by_func -> g_signal_handlers_block_by_func
g_signal_unblock_by_func -> g_signal_handlers_unblock_by_func
added GConnectType to simplify (..gboolean swapped, gboolean after)
args.
* gobject.[hc]: changed prototypes accordingly.
Tue Jun 26 11:43:46 2001 Owen Taylor <otaylor@redhat.com>
* configure.in Makefile.am *.[ch] glib/*.[ch] glib/Makefile.am:
Move glib library into a subdirectory, make all GLib include
files include as <glib/glist.h>
* tests/testglib.c tests/testgdate.c tests/testgdateparser.c
tests/timeloop.c tests/timeloop-basic.c: Move all tests into
the tests/ subdirectory.
Mon Jun 11 17:07:06 2001 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* gboxed.[hc]: remove left-over usages of an anonymous GBoxed typedef.
* gobjectnotifyqueue.c: moved property notify queue implementation
bits into this function.
* gparam.[hc]: added g_param_spec_pool_belongings(), completed
g_param_spec_pool_list(). added GParameter for _setv() functions.
* gobject.[hc]: use gobjectnotifyqueue.h implementation now.
got rid of properties_changed signal.
new functions g_object_newv(), g_object_class_list_properties().
removed "properties_changed" signal.
* gtype.[hc]: added g_type_depth() to figure number of parent
types + 1 for a type.
* gsignal.h: add g_signal_connect() (as per owen's request) and
g_signal_connect_swapped().
Wed Apr 4 00:56:00 2001 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* gobject/Makefile.am: disabled "for i in $(HTML_IMAGES) ;"
dist-hook because $(HTML_IMAGES) is empty.
Tue Apr 3 13:46:22 2001 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* glist.[hc]: added g_list_nth_prev() which walks ->prev instead
of ->next.
* gpattern.[hc]: added shell-style pattern matching code from beast,
derived from the gtk_pattern_*() code, but with a couple of bug fixes
and a number of optimizations.
Tue Apr 3 14:06:00 2001 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* gparam.[hc]: added g_param_spec_pool_list() to list pspecs per
owner_type. the pspecs are not referenced, so the caller is
supposed to have some idea about owner_type not randomly
nuking his pspec's. if this is going to provide problems in
the future, we can either auto-ref the pspecs, or add a
_foreach variant, though the latter would have to invoke
the callback while pspec's mutex is acquired, so i just
went for the _list variant for now.
* gclosure.h (G_CALLBACK): made GCallback a void (*) (void) fucntion.
Sat Mar 31 23:55:58 2001 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* gtype.h:
* gparamspecs.[hc]: applied patch from owen to implement
GParamSpecUnichar.
Fri Mar 30 07:34:02 2001 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* gtype.c (type_iface_retrive_holder_info_Wm):
* gtypeplugin.c (g_type_plugin_complete_interface_info):
* gtypemodule.c (g_type_module_complete_interface_info):
change order of instance_type and interface_type so they match
the g_type_add_interface_*() API.
* gsignal.c (g_signal_emit_valist): always assign C return value
location, people depending on unaltered return values after emissions
that had no handlers to run need to use g_signal_emitv().
* gtype.[hc] (g_type_query): new function to allow querying of
class and object size (semantics like g_signal_query()).
currently the implementation is better held conservative so as to
only support types that are classed and static.
Wed Mar 14 18:46:54 2001 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* gscanner.[hc]: removed archaic gpointer derived_data; relict and
added a GData member instead.
* glist.[hc]: added g_list_remove_all().
* gslist.[hc]: added g_slist_remove_all().
Sat Mar 17 23:18:36 2001 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* gobject.c (g_object_get_property): minor bug-fix.
* gbsearcharray.[hc]: provide a macro for static initialization and
functions g_bsearch_array_new() and g_bsearch_array_destroy() for
dynamic allocations.
* gboxed.c: introduce G_TYPE_GSTRING, boxed type for GString.
* gclosure.[hc]: naming corrections.
Fri Mar 9 16:42:08 2001 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* gvaluetypes.[hc]: moved g_strdup_value_contents() into this file as
a public function (was static in gobject.c before). it's a bit odd
to have that function here, especially since it requires extra includes,
but then it doesn't very well fit somewhere else either.
* gparamspecs.c: added default/max/min checks to param spec creation
functions.
Thu Mar 8 16:23:34 2001 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* ghook.[hc]: destruction cleanup. there's one
->finalize_hook member in the hooklist now that gets
called when a hook should be destroyed, that's it.
that function is guarranteed to be called only when
all ref_counts to the hook vanished, thus also when
the hook is not in call.
Thu Mar 8 16:35:48 2001 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* gparamspecs.[hc]: s/g_param_spec_string_c/g_param_spec_stringc/.
* gsignal.[hc]: fixed accumulator invocation, implemented emission
hooks. and no, neither of these callbacks are called via a closure,
language bindings can wrap the accumulator and emission hook
interface, they already get parameters marshalled into a GValue array.
(g_signal_connect): removed this function as its C specific, doesn't
cover the swapped argument, is too close to its broken original
gtk_signal_connect() and creates demand for _swapped, _after and
_swapped_after variants <brrr>.
(g_signal_connectc): convenience macro to connect a C handler
func with data, like the old g_signal_connect() plus swapped
argument.
* gtype.h:
* gboxed.c: added G_TYPE_VALUE boxed type.
Wed Mar 7 15:02:17 2001 Owen Taylor <otaylor@redhat.com>
* gobject/Makefile.am: Revert Tim's last commit to
get rid of 7+ unnecessary / broken changes. Add
back the useful part. Also fix problem with grep,
add dependency on template files.
* gobject/gobject-sections.txt: Remove double
value_types names which was screwing up builds.
* glib/Makefile.am: Propagate changes from
gobject/Makefile.am
Wed Mar 7 09:36:33 2001 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* gboxed.[hc]: changed prototype of g_boxed_type_register_static()
to contain an optional init function and a hint at whether the
boxed structure uses ref counting internally.
added g_value_set_boxed_take_ownership().
made G_TYPE_BOXED an abstract value type.
* genums.[hc]: made G_TYPE_ENUM and G_TYPE_FLAGS abstract value
types.
* glib-genmarshal.c: argument type changes, preparation for third-party
arg specification.
* gobject.[hc]: cleaned up get/set property code.
added g_strdup_value_contents() to improve warnings.
* gparam.[hc]: added g_param_value_convert(), taking over responsibility
of the old g_value_convert(). added G_PARAM_LAX_VALIDATION flag so
validation alterations may be valid a part of the property setting
process.
* gparamspecs.[hc]: made value comparisons stable (for sort applications).
added GParamSpecValueArray, a param spec for value arrays and
GParamSpecClosure. nuked the value exchange functions and
GParamSpecCCallback.
* gtype.[hc]: catch unintialized usages of the type system with
g_return_val_if_uninitialized(). introduced G_TYPE_FLAG_VALUE_ABSTRACT
to flag types that introduce a value table, but can't be used for
g_value_init(). cleaned up reserved type ids.
* gvalue.[hc]: code cleanups and saner checking.
nuked the value exchange API. implemented value transformations, we
can't really "convert" values, rather transforms are an anylogy to
C casts, real conversions need a param spec for validation, which is
why g_param_value_convert() does real conversions now.
* gvaluearray.[hc]: new files that implement a GValueArray, a struct
that can hold inhomogeneous arrays of value (to that extend that it
also allowes undefined values, i.e. G_VALUE_TYPE(value)==0).
this is exposed to the type system as a boxed type.
* gvaluetransform.c: new file implementing most of the former value
exchange functions as single-sided transformations.
* gvaluetypes.[hc]: nuked G_TYPE_CCALLBACK, added
g_value_set_string_take_ownership().
* *.h: s/G_IS_VALUE_/G_VALUE_HOLDS_/.
* *.[hc]: many fixes and cleanups.
* many warning improvements.
Tue Feb 27 18:35:15 2001 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* gobject.c (g_object_get_valist): urg, pass G_VALUE_NOCOPY_CONTENTS
into G_VALUE_LCOPY(), this needs proper documenting.
* gparam.c: fixed G_PARAM_USER_MASK.
* gtype.c (type_data_make_W):
(type_data_last_unref_Wm): fixed invalid memory freeing.
* gobject.c (g_object_last_unref): destroy signal handlers associated
with object, right before finalization.
* gsignal.c (g_signal_parse_name): catch destroyed nodes or signals
that don't actually support details.
* gobject.[hc]: got rid of property trailers. nuked GObject
properties "data" and the "signal" variants.
(g_object_connect): new convenience function to do multiple
signal connections at once.
(g_object_disconnect): likewise, for disconnections.
* gparam.[hc] (g_param_spec_pool_lookup): took out trailer support.
* gvalue.[hc]: marked g_value_fits_pointer() and g_value_peek_pointer()
as private (the latter got renamed from g_value_get_as_pointer()).
Wed Mar 7 09:32:06 2001 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* glib-object.h: add gvaluearray.h.
* gstring.[hc]: fixup naming of g_string_sprint*.
* gtypes.h: fixed GCompareDataFunc naming.
Wed Mar 7 09:33:27 2001 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* gobject/Makefile.am: shuffled rules to avoid excessive
rebuilds.
* gobject/gobject-sections.txt: updates.
* gobject/tmpl/*: bunch of updates, added another patch
from Eric Lemings <eric.b.lemings@lmco.com>.
Mon Feb 19 07:32:38 2001 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* glib-config-2.0.in (lib_glib): my name is glib-config-2.0!
don't exit with errorcode!=0 for --help or -h.
* Makefile.am:
* configure.in: build glib-config-2.0.
Sat Feb 17 04:55:35 2001 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* gtype.[hc]: changed collect_format, collect_value() and lcopy_format,
lcopy_value() in the GTypeValueTable. the collect functions are now
called only once per value, collect_format/lcopy_format are strings
that enlist all necessary GTypeCValues to be varargs-collected.
* gvalue.h: ranamed STATIC_TAG to G_VALUE_NOCOPY_CONTENTS to indicate that
a value shouldn't copy its contents.
* gvaluecollector.h: changed G_VALUE_COLLECT() and G_VALUE_LCOPY()
macros to carry an additional argument (flags) that can be used
to pass G_VALUE_NOCOPY_CONTENTS along to the collection functions.
* *.c: adapted collect_value() and lcopy_value() functions to the new
prototypes, support G_VALUE_NOCOPY_CONTENTS where apropriate.
* gsignal.[hc]: introduced a G_SIGNAL_TYPE_STATIC_SCOPE flag that can
be passed along (ORed) with the parameter types, indicating that the
emission arguments are to be considered static for the scope of the
emission. should be used with care and only if the caller knows that
a parameter cannot be destroyed/freed from signal handlers connected
to an emission.
