Rather than calculating it at configure time. This means it can expand
$libdir properly, and use the Make $(realpath) function rather than
invoking the non-portable `readlink -f`.
This fixes problems where `readlink` would be called on an invalid path

would then cause things to be installed in the wrong place.

Commit 855594c changed the expected error for the regex
/(?P<sub>foo)\g<sub/ for PCRE 8.38, but actually PCRE changed the error
raised by this invalid regex in 8.37, so we should check for the new error
from 8.37 and upwards.
Please see comments #21 and #22 of bug 740573 regarding this commit.
To be honest, i don't remember what problems were caused by it returning the
number of bytes it *wanted* to write instead of the number of bytes
it actually wrote. Probably related to the fact that fwrite could
independently fail, and ignoring its return value ignores that error.

PCRE 8.38 changed the parsing of this invalid regex. It still fails,
but with a different error (since PCRE r1539,

The regex /(?P<sub>foo)\g<sub/ used to raise MISSING_BACK_REFERENCE but
now raises MISSING_SUBPATTERN_NAME_TERMINATOR, so we can still have a

This reverts commit e5c752371c.

Thanks to John Emmas and desrt for the earlier patch for getting

We were trying to squeeze 64-bit test vectors into gsize, which is fine
on 64bit systems but doesn't work very well on 32-bit.
Change that to a guint64.
According to the C spec, any undefined identifier used in a #if
expression is taken to have a numerical value of zero.
Commit db2367e878 introduced an #i
statement which depended on this behaviour.
gcc has a -Wundef option which warns about depending on this behaviour,
and unfortunately there are projects that are using -Werror=undef in
builds that include our headers.
Adding a check for defined(__STDC_VERSION__) before using the macro is
enough to silence gcc.
It's been a long time since we've been unconditionally saying "static
inline" in GLib headers without complaints so it's safe to assume that
all compilers that we care about support this.
One thing that is not yet totally supported is the unadorned use of the
word "inline". Depending on the flags (-std=c89, for example), even GCC
will complain about this. Detect missing C99 support and define
"inline" to "__inline" in that case. Some research shows "__inline"
appears to be the most widely-supported keyword here, but we may need to
tweak this if we get some reports of breakage.
Clean up all of the configure checks around this and define G_CAN_INLINE
unconditionally. Unfortunately, we must assume that some people are
still using G_IMPLEMENT_INLINES, we must continue to implement that
(including undefining G_CAN_INLINE and redefining G_INLINE_FUNC) if
requested.
It is not our intent to break existing users of the old-style
G_INLINE_FUNC approach and if that has happened, we may need to make
some further adjustments.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=757374
gutils.h and gutils.c define three utility functions as inlines that are
also exported via the ABI. This is done via complicated G_INLINE_FUNC
and G_IMPLEMENT_INLINES logic.
In order to be able to remove this mess, we create a another convoluted
but slightly cleaner approach: write straight-up inline versions of the
functions named _impl() in the header. Define macros with the "public"
function names that call these inlines. From the .c file, export the
ABI versions of these functions, implemented using the _impl() version.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=757374
Deprecate GTrashStack and remove the inline implementations for the
functions. This will help us clean up the mess that is inline functions
in GLib.
Because of how G_INLINE_FUNC worked, we have these functions on our ABI,
so we must continue to export them as normal functions. We are safe to
remove the inline versions, however, because any existing binaries will
continue to carry them and any new builds will just start using the
non-inline versions.

Add some helpers for builds-checked unsigned integer arithmetic to GLib.
These will be based on compiler intrinsics where they are available,
falling back to standard manual checks otherwise.
The fallback case needs to be implemented as a function (which we do
inline) because we cannot rely on statement expressions. We also
implement the intrinsics case as an inline in order to avoid people
accidentally writing non-portable code which depends on static
evaluation of the builtin.
For now there is only support for addition and multiplication for guint,
guint64 and gsize. It may make sense to add support for subtraction or

The Windows API function RtlGetVersion() is actually a function that is

If we fail to PeekMessage or PostMessage we should make sure

Ignore trailing whitespace when reading boolean values. Currently it is

as an invalid value).
Trailing whitespace is ignored for numbers for the same reason. This was

We were using the time() library call to get the current time from the
system in order to compare it to the time returned by
g_date_time_new_now().
Of course, we took care to ensure that the time (in seconds) didn't
change in the middle of this process by checking the before and after
value of the system time.
Unfortunately, the system time as measured by time() was being taken
from a less-accurate clock source than the time used by GDateTime. As a
result, we could have GDateTime already into the next second while the
"seconds" value of the time returned by time() was still in the last
one, even when checked "after".
Avoid the problem by using the same ultimate source for time --
g_get_real_time().

This reverts commit 662bf991c0. It is not
a straight up revert because the old commit involved various long since
removed ChangeLog files and we'd end up mudding the patch.
The system_header GCC pragma is breaking warnings in the various
g_return_* macros; GCC stopped warning when using a macro with a return
value in a function that returns void, as well as when using a macro
with no return value in a function that has a non-void return value.
Suppressing this kind of warnings is not a good idea.
Other compilers are unaffected, even ones like Clang with a GCC
compatibility layer.
Given the fact that the original commit was added 14 years ago as a
workaround in the old days of GTK+ 1.2, I think it's safe to drop it.

TAP allows you to print the "test plan" (ie, the expected number of

put it at the end, and the program crashes, automake will complain
"missing test plan", which is confusing to users (particularly since
it prints that *before* it prints that the test program crashed,
suggesting that somehow the lack of test plan was responsible for the
crash or something, rather than vice versa).
Anyway, change it to count the tests ahead of time, and print the test
plan first. Keeping this simple requires disallowing the '-p', '-s',

If we call time(NULL), then do something (however trivial), then call

value. Let's say the gmtime call takes 2ms. time(NULL) could
return xx:xx:23 when the time is actually xx:xx:23.999999, resulting
in the g_date_time_new_now_utc() happening at xx:xx:24.000001. This is

A similar argument applies to the rollover from xx:23:59.999999 to

is not sufficient; and so on into higher-order fields.

is apparently quite a pervasive real-world anti-pattern, so perhaps it
could be documented more explicitly.

Just in case people have forgotten their basic algorithms course. Seen
in some pretty terrible code in the wild; hopefully mentioning the cost
in the documentation will make people think twice about using a counter
variable when iterating over a linked list.

It’s NULL iff free_segment is TRUE, so the annotation doesn’t quite
capture all the function definition, but is a safe over-estimate of the
return value’s nullability.

I love Emacs keyboard macros, used them to convert the list of
defines cleverly into a list of tests, then iterated and filled in
the necessary constructor arguments.
- It's not sufficient, there are other bare array types
like guint8, gdouble, etc.
- Other types like GVariant* always come as pointers, whereas
there's a rather fundamental distinction between "gchar" and
"gchar*" that has been signified to C programmers for 30+ years via
the '*' character, and we're hiding that.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=744747
The g_autoptr() being associated with the type name works out really
well for things like GHashTable. However, it's a bit more awkward to
associate with "gchar". Also because one can't use "char".
Similarly, there are a lot of other "bare primitive array" types that
one might reasonably use.
This patch does not remove the autoptr for "gchar", even though I
think it's rather awkward and strange.
Also while we're here, add a test case for the cleanup bits.

This would allow bindings to use _get_option_group() functions, which
would then allow them to use GOption parsing.
This also adds introspection annotations to
g_option_context_add_group(), g_option_context_set_main_group() and
g_option_context_get_main_group().

Despite linked lists being a fairly fundamental computer science
concept, some developers insist on using:
g_list_length (list) > 0
to determine whether a list is non-empty, rather than using:
list != NULL
Add a comment to the documentation for g_list_length() and
g_slist_length() pointing out the better alternative in the hope that it
will prevent some of this abuse.

gmem.h and gthread.h made use of the inline keyword, that is not available
on all compilers in C-mode, causing builds to break on such compilers.
Include glib/gutils.h which handles the inline issue, in place of
glib/gtypes.h if applicable, which is included quite early on by
glib/gutils.h.

We have a test that #includes our headers from a C++ program to make
sure we don't throw any errors or warnings as a result of that.
The new inline implementation of g_steal_pointer() does an implicit
conversion from (void *), which is not valid in C++.
Add a cast to avoid the problem.
Thanks to Ignacio Casal Quinteiro for the report.
This is particularly nice when used with g_autoptr(). See examples in
the docs.
This patch is based upon an idea (and original patch submission) from
Will Manley <will@williammanley.net>.

This is necessary as we are using _GLIB_AUTOPTR_TYPENAME and
_GLIB_AUTOPTR_FUNC_NAME in gtype.h for G_DECLARE_DERIVABLE_TYPE and
G_DECLARE_FINAL_TYPE, but _GLIB_AUTOPTR_TYPENAME and
_GLIB_AUTOPTR_FUNC_NAME expand to nothing on non-GCC, causing builds on
non-GCC to break, due to bad typedef and function definitions.
This patch defines a new private macro which does what is needed on GCC
builds and does nothing on non-GCC builds, thus fixing the build.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=743640
Add the missing 'none' argument to this macro in the non-GCC case. The
none parameter was added after the others and I forgot to update the
non-GCC case.

Add g_auto() and g_autoptr() as helpers for declaring variables with
automatic cleanup.
Add some macros to help types define cleanup functions for themselves.
Going forward it will be an expectation that people use this macro when
creating a new type, even if they do not intend to use the auto-cleanup
functionality for themselves.
These new macros only work on GCC and clang, which is why we resisted
adding them for so long. There exist many people who are only
interested in writing programs for these compilers, however, and a
similar API in libgsystem has proven to be extremely popular, so let's
expose this functionality to an even wider audience.
We ignore deprecation warnings when emitting the free functions, which
seems suspicious. The reason that we do this is not because we want to
call deprecated functions, but just the opposite: sometimes the free
function will be an _unref() function that is only AVAILABLE_IN newer
versions, and these warnings are also implemented as deprecation
warnings.

This adds a public API where one can use to see whether the running version
of Windows where the code is run is at least the specified version, service
pack level, and the type (non-server, server, any) of the running Windows
OS.
This API is done as:
-GetVersion()/GetVersionEx() changed in the way they work since Windows 8.1
[1][2], so a newer mechanism to check the version of the running Windows
operating system is needed. MSDN also states that GetVersion() might be
further changed or removed after Windows 8.1. This provides a wrapper for
VerfyVersionInfo() as well in GLib for most cases, which was recommended
in place of g_win32_get_windows_version() for more detailed Windows
version checking.
-Provides an OS-level functionality check, for those that we don't need to
venture into GetProcAddress(), and also to determine system API behavior
changes due to differences in OS versions.
Also added a note for the g_win32_get_windows_version() API that since the
behavior of GetVersion() which it uses, is changed since Windows 8.1, users
of the API should be aware.

Include an example main() function, and include a link to the gettext
manual’s section on integrating gettext with build systems.
That should work as a complete reference for how to add i18n support to
an application.

Update config.h.win32.in and glibconfig.h.win32.in so that they will be
in-line with the ones that are produced with configure.ac, for use on
Windows builds.
Thanks to Philip Withnall for pointing out the changes needed to update
glibconfig.h.win32.in in bug 727829.
We should not advise people to cast the result of
g_hash_table_get_keys_as_array() to a type that looks suitable for use
with g_strfreev(). Advise to use (const gchar **) instead.
We intend to keep the list of poll records sorted by (integer) file
descriptor, but due to a typo we are actually keeping it sorted by
pointer address of the GPollFD.
Fix that.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11059
It simplifies a little bit some code that inserts data relative to a
GList location, that might be NULL for the tail of the queue. A NULL
sibling is probably less useful for insert_after(), so it's more for
consistency with insert_before().
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=736620
If a given fd is being polled by multiple sources, we used to pass it
multiple times to g_poll(), which is technically illegal (and not
supported by the select()-based fallback implementation of poll() in
gpoll.c), and also made it more likely that we'd exceed the maximum
number of pollfds.
Fix it to merge together "duplicate" GPollFDs. The easiest way to do
this involves re-sorting context->poll_records into fd order rather
than priority order. This means we now have to walk the entire pollrec
list for every g_main_context_query() and g_main_context_poll(),
rather than only walking the list up to the current max_priority.
However, this will only have a noticeable effect if you have tons of
GPollFDs, and we're already too slow in that case anyway because of
other O(n) operations that happen too often. So this shouldn't change
much (and the new poll API will eventually let us be cleverer).
Remove some win32-specific code which did the same thing (but was
O(n^2)).

We called getopt() to try to find out of the platform on which we are
running defaults to strict POSIX-style argument handling (ie: flags
following the first filename are considered as further filenames rather
than flags).
This is the default case on BSDs, for example. It is also the case on
GNU systems with the POSIXLY_CORRECT environment variable set.
Unfortunately many of our tools rely on being able to accept commandline
arguments in the non-strict ordering and the code for making these calls
is spread widely (for example in Makefile fragments invoking some of our
build tools).
For this reason we need to revert the getopt() check and only enable
strict POSIX mode in the case that the application explicitly opts into
it using the _set_strict_posix() API.
This also fixs a failure to build on Windows due to missing getopt().

With this patch it is fine to call g_hash_table_lookup and
g_hash_table_remove from destroy notification functions. Before
this could lead to an infinitie loop if g_hash_table_remove_all
was used.

Add a "posixly correct" mode to GOption to stop parsing arguments as
soon as the first non-option argument is encountered.
We determine the default value on the basis of duplicating the behaviour
of the system getopt() implementation (which we directly check the
behaviour of at runtime). On GNU systems this allows the user to modify
our behaviour using POSIXLY_CORRECT.
The user can change the value by g_option_context_set_strict_posix(),
which might be useful for some usecases of GOptionContext (as mentioned
in the doc string of this new function).

g_get_monotonic_time() and g_get_real_time() now always use different

Internal allocation size (array->alloc) was being kept to 0 when a new
GByteArray was created from an already existing heap-allocated buffer.
Among other things, this was making g_byte_array_set_size() fully clear all
the buffer contents (not just the newly allocated memory) when
G_DEBUG=gc-friendly was being used...
if (G_UNLIKELY (g_mem_gc_friendly))
memset (array->data + array->alloc, 0, want_alloc - array->alloc);
