Cygwin support contributed by Stefan Ondrejicka
<ondrej@idata.sk>. Hopefully I got it all in while simultaneously
adding support for auto*/libtool for mingw.
* Makefile.am: Changes for auto* support on Cygwin and Win32. Do
still distribute the hand-written makefiles and *.win32.in files,
though. Use GIO, GSPAWN and PLATFORMDEP macros set by configure.
Use -no-undefined. Pass -export-symbols glib.def to libtool.
* configure.in: Define G_PLATFORM_WIN32 on both pure Win32 (mingw)
and Cygwin. Add AC_CYGWIN, AC_EXEEXT and AC_LIBTOOL_WIN32_DLL
calls for Cygwin and mingw support. Check for %I64u guint64
format (in MS C library). Set G_MODULE_IMPL on mingw and
Cygwin. Use ac_object and ac_exeext. Set GIO, GSPAWN, PLATFORMDEP
and G_LIBS_EXTRA. Compile timeloop only on Unix. Define OS_WIN32
automake conditional on Win32.
* glib.h: Include gwin32.h also on Cygwin.
* gfileutils.c (get_contents_posix): Use O_BINARY (defined as 0 on
Unix) for Cygwin's sake.
* gtimer.c (GETTIME): Reduce #ifdefs, use a macro GETTIME().
* gconvert.c
* gthread.c
* gutf8.c
* gutils.c: For code needed both on Cygwin and native Win32,
test for G_PLATFORM_WIN32.
* gmarkup.h: Use G_BEGIN_DECLS and G_END_DECLS.
* gtypes.h: Refine GLIB_VAR definition. Also check for DLL_EXPORT
in case compiling a static library on Win32 or Cygwin.
* gwin32.c: No <direct.h> on Cygwin. No need for ftruncate() or
dirent emulation on Cygwin.
(get_package_directory_from_module) Convert return value from
GetModuleFileName() to POSIX path on Cygwin.
* tests/Makefile.am (progs_LDADD): Link with libglib, libgthread
and libgmodule as appropriate. Use -no-undefined.
* gbacktrace.c: Move #ifdefs around a bit on Win32.
* gshell.c (unquote_string_inplace): Make static.
2001-01-29 Tor Lillqvist <tml@iki.fi>
* glibconfig.h.win32.in: Use the same GMutex structure as the
configure-generated glibconfig.h does.
* gstrfuncs.c (g_strsignal): Declare strsignal() on Cygwin, too,
says jbdoll@kepri.re.kr.
2000-12-06 Havoc Pennington <hp@pobox.com>
* tests/strfunc-test.c (main): add g_strdupv test
* gstrfuncs.c (g_strdupv): Add a function to copy
an array of strings
2000-10-26 Sebastian Wilhelmi <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>
* gstrfuncs.c (g_strsplit): When the string is ended by a
delimiter, return an extra empty string just like for a delimiter
at the start of the string. This makes the function behave more
consitent and also fixes Bug #15026.
Wed Jul 26 12:59:31 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* *.[hc]: applied patch from Andreas Persenius <ndap@swipnet.se> that
updates the license headers to the GNU Lesser General Public License,
as well as updating the copyright year to 2000.
Wed Jul 26 05:47:48 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* configure.in:
* testglib.c:
* gstrfuncs.c:
* glib.h: added g_strlcat() and g_strlcpy() wrappers, supplied by
David Wheeler <dwheeler@ida.org>:
* glib.h, gstrfuncs.c: added g_strlcpy and g_strlcat to support
safe manipulation of fixed-length string buffers.
These functions were originally developed by Todd Miller to simplify
development of security-related programs, and
are available on many (but not all) Unix-like systems,
including OpenBSD, FreeBSD, and Solaris. See
ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/src/lib/libc/string/strlcpy.3
and http://www.openbsd.org/security.html.
If there's a strlcpy/strlcat on the system, it's called, otherwise
an implementation is provided.
* testglib.c: Added tests for g_strlcpy, g_strlcat.
Sat Jul 15 09:11:46 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* gstrfuncs.c (g_strncasecmp): fixed an off by 0 error (yeah,
the function went off when the while (n--) loop failed due to
n==0 ;), reported by Jean-Louis HAMEL <jlhamel@club-internet.fr>.
Fri Apr 28 23:54:35 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* setup things for a new sub-library libgobject:
* Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): added gobject
* glib-config.in: feature -lgobject.
* configure.in (AC_OUTPUT): generate gobject/Makefile.
* glib.m4 (AM_PATH_GLIB): feature gobject module.
* glib.spec.in: added %{prefix}/lib/libgobject-1.3.so.*
Fri Apr 28 21:41:49 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* glib.h: added G_STRLOC macro.
G_STRUCT_OFFSET(): signedness corrections.
(G_CSET_DIGITS): list 0-9.
* gscanner.c (g_scanner_config_template): use G_CSET_DIGITS.
* glib.h:
* gstrfuncs.c:
(g_strdown):
(g_strup):
(g_strreverse): return the modified string instead of void, so
calls to these functions can be nested.
(g_strcanon): new function, canonicalizes string according to
a given character set.
Fri Apr 28 19:45:16 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* gasyncqueue.c (g_async_queue_unref): get rid of an unused variable.
Wed Mar 1 10:39:39 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* gslist.c (g_slist_reverse): minor optimization.
* testglib.c (g_node_test): added a couple of tests for
g_node_copy().
* glib.h:
* gnode.c (g_node_copy): new function to copy subtrees,
supplied by dbsears@ix.netcom.com.
changed iterator to walk the children list backwards, so
we get down from O(n^2) to O(n).
* gnode.c (g_node_first_sibling): applied patch from
dbsears@ix.netcom.com to optimize access if node->parent
is present.
* gutils.c (g_get_any_init): backed out HAVE_PW_GECOS check around
assignment of g_real_name, sicne HAVE_PW_GECOS is never defined and
thus breaks the original code.
* merged changes from 1.2.7.
Sat Feb 19 19:43:29 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* testgmodule.c (main): added test to check that not yet bound symbols
in shared libraries of the main module are retrievable, from David Gero.
Fri Jan 28 11:37:41 2000 Owen Taylor <otaylor@redhat.com>
Bug #4156 - Changes vaguely modelled after Scott Gifford's patch
* gtimer.c (g_timer_elapsed): Never report negative times -
clip times to 0.
* gmain.c (g_timeout_prepare): Guard against unexpected
clock shifts by never setting a timeout of more than
data->interval msecs.
2000-02-01 Tor Lillqvist <tml@iki.fi>
* glib.h
* gstrfuncs.c (g_filename_to_utf8, g_filename_from_utf8): New
functions for conversion between UTF-8 and the encoding expected
by C runtime functions like open() and stat(), and returned by
readdir().
Implement them on Win32 where we use the system "ANSI" codepage,
which might be single-byte or double-byte. On Unix, just skip the
issue for now and provide dummy implementations that return a copy
of the argument.
* README.win32
* build-dll
* glib.def: Minor updates.
Tue Oct 12 12:16:12 1999 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* gmessages.c (g_printf_string_upper_bound): completly new implementation
for printf string upper bounds calculation.
we handle all glibc 2.1 format specifiers now, except for positional
parameters (%nn$...) and wide char strings, plus some obscure upper
case variants of the standard conversions. this fixes a lot of
bugs in the old code, i.e.
- NULL format strings
- floats with exponents >+24
- %G
- precision specifications in general
- negative field widths
- %p for SIZEOF_VOID_P > 4 platforms
we now issue warnigns in places where the old code would have
caused buffer overruns anyways. warnings are suppressed when invoked
from glogv(), to avoid infinite recursions if someone passes a log
message that comes with really obscure format specifications.
Tue Oct 12 11:49:00 1999 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* gstrfuncs.c: nuked old g_printf_string_upper_bound() version.
Tue Oct 12 03:34:40 1999 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* glib.h: added GFloatIEEE754 and GDoubleIEEE754 unions to access sign,
mantissa and exponent of IEEE floats and doubles (required by the new
version of g_printf_string_upper_bound). the unions are endian specific,
we handle G_LITTLE_ENDIAN and G_BIG_ENDIAN as of currently. ieee floats
and doubles are supported (used for storage) by at least intel, ppc and
sparc, reference:
http://twister.ou.edu/workshop.docs/common-tools/numerical_comp_guide/ncg_math.doc.html
Mon Oct 11 18:01:49 1999 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* configure.in: added additional checks to figure sizes of size_t,
ptrdiff_t and intmax_t (required by g_printf_string_upper_bound).
* glib.h
* gstrfuncs.c
* tests/strfunc-test.c: Rename g_strccpy to g_strcompress and
g_strecpy to g_strescape per Tim Janik's suggestion. Dropped the
destination parameter, always g_malloc a new string. Fix bug in
g_strcompress, octal digits were gobbled up without limit, should
use max three.
Sources that use g_strescape must have ifdefs to be compilable
both with GLib 1.2 and 1.3.
* glib.h
* gstrfuncs.c: the #define for g_strescape interfered with the
compilation of the function, so just remove the function and
note that it's deprecated in the header
-Yosh
* gstrfuncs.c (g_strccpy, g_strecpy): New functions.
* glib.h: Declare and document them. Define the deprecated
g_strescape as a macro that calls g_strecpy.
* tests/strfunc-test.c (main): Test them.
* makefile.{cygwin,msc}.in
* tests/makefile.{cygwin,msc}.in: Remove gstack and its test
program.
* glib.def: Additions and removals.
* README.win32: Improve gcc build instructions.
* build-dll: Also build import library for MSVC.
Sat Jul 24 20:11:35 1999 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* merged GLib 1.3.0 with glib-1.2.3 from Fri Jul 16 22:18:36.
* incorporated proposed cleanups from gtk-devel-list.
* bumped version number to GLib-1.3.1
* glib.h:
* gqueue.c:
* gstring.c:
* glist.c:
removed string tokenisation (we got g_strsplit() and g_strjoin()
already) and readline functions.
s/g_list_delete/g_list_delete_link.
implemented g_slist_delete_link.
removed notion of g_ATEXIT() macro in glib.h, this is an *internal*
macro, g_atexit() is provided for public consumption.
added GTrashStack inline utility functions.
reimplement double eneded queues.
removed GStack implementation, people can use a queue or a (singly)
linked list for this task.
deprecated g_strescape(), we need the SunOS variants here.
* gdate.c: added DEBUG_MSG() macro to wrap old messages.
* *.*: CVS merges.
* upgrade to libtool 1.3.3.

Wed Feb 10 07:56:33 1999 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* gmodule.c (g_module_error): fixed errernerous code wrt to thread
specific error string allocation handling.
Wed Feb 10 06:20:30 1999 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* gmutex.c (g_static_private_set): invoke destroy notifier when
overwriting values, initialize new array fields with NULL.
(g_static_private_free_data): do not skip destroy notification for
data == NULL.
* gutils.c (g_direct_equal): compare pointer values directly instead
of just their guint values which is a loosing conversion for
sizeof(gpointer)==8 systems.
(g_get_any_init): restructured code so we don't use endless loops like
while (1), which boil down to an ugly alias for goto.
strip ,.* from the real name.
Tue Jan 19 00:44:24 1999 Josh MacDonald <jmacd@axis.hip.berkeley.edu>
* gstrfuncs.c (g_strsignal): The "extern char* sys_siglist"
declaration breaks systems with different declarations, like
mine (FreeBSD). So, I added a configuration variable to decide
whether the declaration is neccesary. Change also appears on
line 275 of configure.in.
* README.win32: More text.
* config.h.win32 glibconfig.h.win32: Update to match the
corresponding generated files on Unix.
* makefile.msc: Update with new source files, and gthread
library. Use the compiler flag -MD instead of using -D_DLL and
"/nodefaultlib:libc msvcrt.lib" in the link phase.
* glib.def: Include new functions, drop removed ones.
* glib.h: Add comments about main loop and polling on Win32. (In
general, it's only for the GIMP's use.) Add Win32 IO Channel
functions. Remove the obsoleted old IO Channel stuff (which was
in #if 0 already).
* giowin32.c: New file.
* gmain.c: Include config.h, conditionalize <sys/time.h>
inclusion. Add g_poll implementation for Win32 (only for the
GIMP's needs for now, it's hard or even impossible to be as clean
and generic as on Unix). Implement g_get_current_time on Win32. If
threads aren't supported, don't try to wake up main thread's
loop. On Win32, use a semaphore and not a pipe to wake up the main
loop.
* gmessages.c: On Win32, allocate a console window if the standard
output handle is invalid before writing to stdout, and reopen stdout
to that console window.
* giochannel.c: Conditionalize unistd.h inclusion. Some indentation
cleanup.
* gstrfuncs.c: Include <signal.h>.
* gutils.c: On Win32, also check the HOMEDRIVE and HOMEPATH
environment variables.
* gmodule-dl.c gmodule-dld.c: In
_g_module_build_path, don't add the "lib" prefix and
".so" or ".sl" suffix if already there.
* gmodule-win32.c: Likewise for the ".dll" suffix.
* gthread-posix.c: Conditionalize <sys/time.h> inclusion.
* configure.in:
Add checks for vasprintf, localtime_r.
* gdate.c (g_date_set_time):
Use localtime if localtime_r is not available.
* gstrfuncs.c (g_strdup_vprintf):
Use glibc vasprintf if possible; it's a bit faster than using
GLib routines, and makes output code a bit smaller.
* acconfig.h:
Remove HAVE_VSNPRINTF and HAVE_VPRINTF. autoheader picks these
up automatically and puts them in config.h.in.
branch. See the ChangeLog for details of the changes.
In brief overview:
- The set of threading functions can be set
- A default implementation is provided in -lgthread
- All static data structures are locked using these
functions if g_thread_init() is called.
1998-11-04 Phil Schwan <pschwan@cmu.edu>
* configure.in: Added 'strncasecmp' to the list of functions to be
searched for.
* glib.h: Added a prototype for 'g_strncasecmp'
* strfuncs.c: (g_strncasecmp) new function modeled closely after
'g_strcasecmp'
* applied glib-tml-981101-1 patch from Tor Lillqvist (ChangeLog
entry appended below)
* testglib.c
* gstrfuncs.c
* glib.h: use G_HAVE_GINT64, since HAVE_GINT64 is gone
* gmessages.c
* gscanner.c: #include <config.h> in here too, for HAVE_UNISTD_H
-Yosh
* Makefile.am (glibconfig.h): New rule.
(stamp-gc-h): New rule. Generate `glibconfig.h'.
* configure.in (AM_CONFIG_HEADER): It is now `config.h'.
(HAVE_BROKEN_WCTYPE): On Solaris, look for iswalnum in -lw before
concluding "broken wctype".
(glibconfig.h): Use AC_OUTPUT_COMMANDS to put generation code into
config.status.
* glib.h: Remove a lot of tests and defines. All these have been
moved to `configure.in (glibconfig.h)'.
* gerror.c: Include <config.h>.
* gmem.c: Likewise.
* gstrfuncs.c: Likewise.
* gutils.c: Likewise.
This could cause some short term instability.
Tue Oct 27 03:00:50 1998 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* glib.h: removed dummy structure definitions for struct _GCache,
_GTree, _GTimer, _GMemChunk, _GListAllocator and _GStringChunk.
* gutils.c: implement glib's inline functions _after_ all include
statements have been processed.
removed Tor's MAXPATHLEN check since there already was one supplied
further down in this file.
(LibMain): special cased the #ifdef __LCC__ case for NATIVE_WIN32,
since lcc maybe used on other platforms as well. why in hell is this
stuff required?
(g_get_any_init): for windows, if the user name is supplied, use it as
realname also.
in general, if there is no homedir specified, use the tmpdir that
we already figured.
* gtimer.c (g_timer_elapsed): changed a g_assert() statement to
g_return_if_fail().
* applied glib-tml-981020-0.patch for WIN32 portability, added some
comments and g_return_if_fail() statements, minor indentation fixes.

1998-10-20: Tor Lillqvist <tml@iki.fi>
* README.win32 glib.def gmodule.def
* glibconfig.h.win32 gmodule/gmoduleconf.h.win32:
New files for the Windows port. The .def files list exported
symbols for the Microsoft linker and compatibles.
* configure.in:
Added checks for some platform-dependent headers: pwd.h sys/param.h
sys/select.h sys/time.h sys/times.h unistd.h, and the function lstat.
* gerror.c:
Conditionalized inclusion of system-dependent headers. Changes
for Windows: no gdb to do a stack trace. Just call abort().
* glib.h:
Changes for Windows:
Added macros G_DIR_SEPARATOR, G_DIR_SEPARATOR_S for
platform-dependent file name syntax elements. Added macros
G_SEARCHPATH_SEPARATOR, G_SEARCHPATH_SEPARATOR_S for
platform-dependent search path syntax conventions.
Added pragmas for Microsoft C to make it more pedantic.
Marked GLib's global variables for export from DLL.
Added the function g_strescape that escapes backslashes.
Added functions g_path_is_absolute and g_path_skip_root to
handle platform-dependent file name syntax.
Added the function g_getenv that expands environment variables
that contain references to other environment variables, as is
typical on Windows NT.
Added the GIOChannel structure which is used to encapsulate the
IPC mechanism used by the GIMP's plug-ins, and possibly other
things later. On Unix a GIOChannel encapsulates just a file
descriptor. On Windows it contains a file handle from _pipe() and a
few other things related to the implementation of gdk_input_add
and GIMP plug-in communication. Subject to change.
Removed duplicate declarations of the version variables.
For the Microsoft compiler, declare own implementation of
ftruncate and the <dirent.h> functions.
* gmem.c:
Define a symbolic name for the profiling table size.
* gmessages.c:
Conditionalized inclusion of unistd.h. On Windows, output using
stdio to stdout.
* gscanner.c:
Conditionalized inclusion of unistd.h. Added changes for
Microsoft C. Added CR to the skipped character set. Added small
workaround for MSC compiler bug in g_scanner_cur_value.
* gstrfuncs.c:
Added the function g_strescape, which escapes the backslash
character. Needed especially when printing Windows filenames.
* gtimer.c:
Conditionalized inclusion of unistd.h and sys/time.h. Added
implementations for Windows.
* gutils.c:
Conditionalized inclusion of platform-dependent headers. Use
the platform-independent file name syntax macros.
Conditionalize code on platform-dependent features. Added the
functions g_path_is_absolute g_path_skip_root and g_getenv.
Added the GIOChannel-related functions. Added
compiler-dependent Unix compatibility functions for Windows.
* makefile.lcc makefile.msc:
New files. Compiler-specific makefiles for LCC-Win32 and
Microsoft C. Only Microsoft C is actually supported currently.
* testglib.c:
Added pathname check cases for Windows. Added workaround for
bug in the Microsoft runtime library. Improved some tests a bit.
Tue Oct 27 04:00:11 1998 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* testgmodule.c (main): changed the #ifdef WIN32 test to NATIVE_WIN32,
this needs to be more constistent throughout the code, do we go for
NATIVE_WIN32 or WIN32?
* gmodule.c (LibMain): special cased the #ifdef __LCC__ case for
NATIVE_WIN32, since lcc maybe used on other platforms as well.
* libgplugin_a.c (LibMain):
* libgplugin_b.c (LibMain):
likewise. not sure i like this special requirement for lcc in here.
* gmodule-dl.c (_g_module_build_path):
feature empty "" directories and prepend the module name with "lib".
* gmodule-dld.c (_g_module_build_path):
* gmodule-win32.c (_g_module_build_path):
feature empty "" directories.
* we need some more magic in the _g_module_build_path variants
so we don't append/prepend lib and .so, .sl or .dll for those names
that already contain it.
* applied patch from Tor Lillqvist for g_module_build_path() and
windows support.
1998-10-20: Tor Lillqvist <tml@iki.fi>
* gmodule/gmodule-win32.c:
New file.
* gmodule/gmodule.c gmodule/gmodule.h:
Added the funcion g_module_build_path that builds the path to
a module file, decorating the name according to the system's
conventions. Added the Windows implementation.
* gmodule/libgplugin_a.c gmodule/libgplugin_b.c:
Added LibMain for LCC-Win32.
* gmodule/testgmodule.c:
Handle Windows dll names.
Sun Oct 25 07:30:10 1998 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* gscanner.c:
(g_scanner_peek_next_char):
(g_scanner_get_char): no more characters are available if read() returns
anything less than 1, not only on 0 return.
* glib.h:
* gstrfuncs.c: final API cleanup of string arrays to suit sopwith's
argument order requirements.
(g_strsplit): renamed from g_str_array_split().
(g_strjoinv): renamed from g_str_array_joinv(), string array is
now passed as last parameter. removed `const' qualifier from string
array pointer (again).
(g_strjoin): new function from sopwith to concatenate strings with
an additional seperator.
(g_strfreev): renamed from g_str_array_free.
Fix new strfuncs back up (again)
- No, incrementing pointers in a loop is not any faster than
indexing an array in a loop with a good compiler, but it is
harder to read.
- strconcat doesn't allow a separator - added g_str_array_join,
renamed g_str_array_join to g_str_array_joinv
- join routines take separator as first argument, as is customary.
Wed Oct 21 17:03:05 1998 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* glib.h:
* gstrfuncs.c: API cleanups of the new g_str* functions for consistency
with the existing naming scheme for g_str* functions. grouped the g_str*
functions that will return a newly allocated string seperatedly. all of
the in_place arguments were skipped, the caller is supposed to pass a
g_strdup()ed string if he wants to retrive a new copy. indentation and
coding style fixups. added some g_return_if_fail() statements.
string array functions are prefixed with g_str_array_.
(g_strdelimit): return the modified string like all other g_str*
functions, that operate in place.
(g_strchug): renamed from g_str_chug(), removed in_place argument.
(g_strchomp): renamed from g_str_chomp(), removed in_place argument.
(g_strstrip): renamed from g_str_strip(), removed in_place argument.
(g_str_array_join): renamed from g_strconcatv(), since it actually
operates on a string array and has totaly different semantics from
g_strconcat(). check for separator != NULL, don't segfault if the first
string is NULL. removed the `const' from the string array that's passed,
so users can operate on gchar** string arrays.
(g_str_array_split): renamed from g_str_split() because we actually
produce a string array. reimplemented this function for efficiency.
removed macro aliases g_str_joinv and g_str_join.
Wed Aug 26 06:32:40 1998 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* glib.h:
* gstrfuncs.c: new function g_strnfill() to return a new string
of specified length, filled with a specific character.
Mon Aug 24 02:08:56 1998 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* glib.h:
* gstring.c:
* gstrfuncs.c:
(g_vsprintf): removed this function which was not publically
exported in glib.h. to export it, it should have been named
differently in the first place, since its semantics differ from
vsprintf(). apart from that, it was a possible cause for
problems since it worked on a previously allocated memory area and
was used in a lot places of glib. exporting it would have been a
guararant for problems with threaded programs.
(g_printf_string_upper_bound): exported this function to return
a string size, guarranteed to be big enough to hold the fully
expanded format+args string. added 'q', 'L' and 'll' flag handling.
in fact, the newly allocated area is in most cases much bigger than
required.
(g_strdup_vprintf()): new function returning a newly allocated string
containing the contents of *format and associated args (size is
calculated with g_printf_string_upper_bound()).
(g_strdup_printf): new function which wraps g_strdup_vprintf().
* configure.in: check for va_copy() or __va_copy() alternatively.
check whether va_lists can be copyied by value.
* glib.h: provide a definition for G_VA_COPY.
* glib.h:
* gmessages.c:
(g_logv):
(g_vsnprintf):
pass va_lists by value, not by reference, since this causes problems
on platforms that implement va_list as as arrays. internaly, use
G_VA_COPY (new_arg, org_arg); va_end (new_arg); to produce a second
va_list variable, if multiple passes are required. changed all
callers.
* glib.h:
* gerror.h:
renamed g_debug() to g_on_error_query(), cleaned up a bit.
renamed g_stack_trace() to g_on_error_stack_trace() since both
functions cluttered different namespaces.
there is an appropriate comment in glib.h now that explains the
unix and gdb specific dependencies of both functions.
removed g_attach_process().
g_on_error_stack_trace() should probably be handled with caution,
i've seem several different linux versions (2.0.x) become unstable
after invokation of this function.
