6677906436 GObject: tweak property deprecation warnings
Don't emit property deprecation warnings for construct properties that
are being set to their default value during construction, but _do_ emit
them in all cases when the property was explicitly given to
g_object_new().

d0e7061785 GObject: warn on use of deprecated properties
By default G_PARAM_DEPRECATED means absolutely nothing.  We only emit a
warning if G_ENABLE_DIAGNOSTIC is set to '1' and then, only on sets.

Turn the logic on its head: emit the warning by default, unless
G_ENABLE_DIAGNOSTIC is set to 0.  In order to avoid a torrent of output, only
emit a warning once per property name.

bbdb2345fc gobject: add 'explicit notify' GParamSpec flag
Add a flag to prevent the automatic emission of the "notify" signal
during g_object_set_property().

If this flag is set then the class must explicitly emit the notify
for themselves.  This is already standard practice on most classes, but
we cannot simply remove the existing behaviour because there are surely
many cases where it is needed.

4360756c69 Avoid overeager warning about deprecated properties
Construct properties are always set during construction.
It makes no sense to warn about this even if the property
is marked as deprecated; the deprecation warning should
only be issues for explicit uses of the property after
construction.

5cab3fcec1 gobject: re-allow finalization from constructor()
Although returning NULL from constructor is strongly discouraged, some
old libraries need to keep doing it for ABI-compatibility reasons.
Given this, it's rude to forbid finalization from within
constructor(), since it would otherwise work correctly now anyway (and
the critical when returning NULL should discourage any new uses of
returning NULL from constructor()).

0d62eb467f gobject: forbid finalization-during-construction
If a constructor() implementation created an object but then unreffed
it rather than returning it, that object would get left on the
construction_objects list, which would cause problems later when that
memory location got reused by another object.

"Fix" this by making it fail intentionally, and add a test for it (and
for the normal, working singleton case).

c1e32a5c59 GObject: turn add-property-after-init to a warning
We have turned up enough cases of this being done (including GTK API
allowing apps to do this to GtkSettings well after it has been
instantiated) that it is clear that we cannot really break this feature
while claiming to be backwards compatible.

For that reason, it becomes a warning rather than a critical (ie: it is
still well-defined behaviour, but you are discouraged from doing it).

The intention is to keep this feature for at least the next while.
A given GObjectClass will be able to avoid using GParamSpec pool for as
long as you don't install properties after init.  If you do that, you
will get a warning and we will devolve to using GParamSpecPool.

a8a9afe17c GObject: prevent installing properties after init
GObject has previously allowed installing properties after class_init
has finished running.  This means that you could install some of your
own properties on G_TYPE_OBJECT, for example, although they wouldn't
have worked properly.

A previous patch asserted that this was not true and we had to revert it
because it broke the shell.  Instead of reverting, we should have used a
critical, so do that now.

4b94c0831e Use 'dumb quotes' rather than `really dumb quotes'
Back in the far-off twentieth century, it was normal on unix
workstations for U+0060 GRAVE ACCENT to be drawn as "‛" and for U+0027
APOSTROPHE to be drawn as "’". This led to the convention of using
them as poor-man's ‛smart quotes’ in ASCII-only text.

However, "'" is now universally drawn as a vertical line, and "`" at a
45-degree angle, making them an `odd couple' when used together.

Unfortunately, there are lots of very old strings in glib, and also
lots of new strings in which people have kept up the old tradition,
perhaps entirely unaware that it used to not look stupid.

Fix this by just using 'dumb quotes' everywhere.

7d61da0c07 g_object_new: check for NULL from _constructor()
There is some code in the wild (like in gnome-session) that does this
from its custom _constructor() implementation:

{
  GObject *obj;

  obj = ((chain up));

  if (!object_is_viable (obj))
    {
      g_object_unref (obj);
      return NULL;
    }
  else
    return obj;
}

This has never been a valid use of GObject and this code has always
caused memory to be leaked[1] by growing the construction_objects list.
The ability to legitimately return NULL from a constructor was exactly
the reason that we created GInitable, in fact.

That doesn't change the fact that the g_object_new() rewrite will crash
in this case, so instead of doing that, let's emit a critical and avoid
the crash.  This will allow people to upgrade their GLib without also
upgrading their gnome-session.  Meanwhile, people can fix their broken
code.

bfa8bef7b9 GObject: substantially rework g_object_new()
Make a number of improvements to g_object_new():

 - instead of looking up the GParamSpec for the named property once in
   g_object_new() (in order to collect) and then again in g_object_newv
   (when actually setting the property), g_object_new_internal() is a
   new function that takes the GParamSpec on the interface to avoid the
   second lookup

 - in the case that ->constructor() is not set, we need not waste time
   creating an array of GObjectConstructParam to pass in.  Just directly
   iterate the list of parameters, calling set_property() on each.

 - instead of playing with linked lists to keep track of the construct
   properties, realise that the number of construct properties that we
   will set is exactly equal to the length of the construct_properties
   list on GObjectClass and the only thing that may change is where the
   value comes from (in the case that it was passed in)

   This assumption was already implicit in the existing code and can be
   seen from the sizing of the array used to hold the construct
   properties, but it wasn't taken advantage of to make things simpler.

 - instead of allocating and filling a separate array of the
   non-construct properties just re-iterate the passed-in list and set
   all properties that were not marked G_PARAM_CONSTRUCT (since the ones
   that were construct params were already used during construction)

 - use the new g_param_spec_get_default_value() API instead of
   allocating and setting the GValue for each construct property that
   wasn't passed from the user

Because we are now iterating the linked list of properties in-order we
need to append to that list during class initialising instead of
prepending.

These changes show a very small improvement on the simple-construction
performance testcase (probably just noise) and they improve the
complex-construction case by ~30%.

Thanks to Alex Larsson for reviews and fixes.

4e793c2eef GObject: allow G_PARAM_CONSTRUCT on any override
We were previously preventing implementations of an interface from
specifying G_PARAM_CONSTRUCT for a property of that interface if the
interface didn't specify it itself (or was readonly).

This is something that should only interest the implementation, so we
remove this restriction.

This allows 6 new possible override scenarios:

 - writable                 -> writable/construct
 - writable                 -> readwrite/construct
 - readwrite                -> readwrite/construct
 - writable/construct-only  -> writable/construct
 - writable/construct-only  -> readwrite/construct
 - readwrite/construct-only -> readwrite/construct

and we update the testcase to reflect this.

5fb7a8e127 GObject: fix property override type checks
The property override typecheck was meant to enforce the type on the
overriding property being exactly equal to the type on the interface
property.  Instead, g_type_is_a() was incorrectly used.

We could try to enforce equality, but if a property is read-only then it
should be possible for the implementation to type the property with any
subtype of the type specified on the interface (because returning a more
specific type will still satisfy the interface).  Likewise, if the
property is write-only then it should be possible for the implementation
to type the property with any supertype.

We implement the check this way.

af24dbc12a gobject: loosen property override flag restrictions
GObject enforces the following restrictions on property overrides:

  - must only add abilities: if the parent class supports
    readability/writability then the subclass must also support them.
    Subclasses are free to add readability/writability.

  - must not add additional restrictions: if the parent class doesn't
    have construct/construct-only restrictions then the subclass must
    not add them.  Subclasses are free to remove restrictions.

The problem with the previous implementation is that the check against
adding construct/construct-only restrictions was being done even if the
property was not previously writable.  As an example:

  "readable" and "writable only on construct"

was considered as being more restrictive than

  "read only".

This patch tweaks the check to allow the addition of
construct/construct-only restrictions for properties that were
previously read-only and are now being made writable.

This will allow us to avoid a freeze-notify-thaw in the case that we

Another approach may have been to add an is_frozen() type call and avoid
even increasing the freeze count at all in this case.  Unfortunately,
I'm not totally sure what is the exact expected semantics of
simultaneous notifications in multiple threads and this may interact
badly with someone freezing or thawing in between our check and
emission.

fb95c20c96 Add G_SIGNAL_DEPRECATED
Similar to G_PARAM_DEPRECATED. It will warn only for users of the
signals, so a signal can still be emited without warning, for
compatibility reasons.

Apparently, there is no way user flags could have been used before,
so that shouldn't break anyone.

8382135265 glib: Rewrite gatomic.[ch]
- 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

ac4722df1c g_object_get_property: document that value must be initialized
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.

9cd43d7a4c gobject: Add install_properties()
Since we added g_object_notify_by_pspec(), an efficient way to install
and notify properties relies on storing the GParamSpec pointers inside
a static arrays, like we do for signal identifiers.

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

016cecb179 Revert hack that broke things badly on Windows
This should fix bug #628952.

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.

01a46e5c65 Hack to include glib/gdatasetprivate.h directly
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_notify(). The suggested and documented way of using
g_object_notify_by_pspec() is similar to the way of emitting signals
with their ID.

Emission tests (with no handler attached to the notify signal) show a

2a78adc5e3 Only add object to list new objects when it has a custom constructor
This works around the need to take a custom mutex twice and add the
object to a GSList of objects that are currently in construction for the
common case. Only when the constructor is overwritten do we use the
previous behavior and allow things like singleton objects.

The only slightly incompatible change is that previously, it was ok to
call g_object_set() on construct-only properties while the object was
initialized. This will now fail. If that behavior is needed, setting a
custom constructor that just chains up will reenable this functionality.

2005-07-15  Matthias Clasen  <mclasen@redhat.com>

	Make refcounting threadsafe by using atomic
	operations.  (#166020, Wim Taymans)

	* gobject.c: Use a recursive lock to protect the
	notify queue.
	(g_object_unref): Get rid of g_object_last_unref and
	do the last unref handling in g_object_unref.
	(g_object_ref, g_object_unref): Use atomic operations.

	* gsignal.c (struct _HandlerMatch): Use a full integer
	for the ref_count field.
	(handler_ref, handler_unref_R): Use atomic operations.

	* gparam.c (g_param_spec_ref, g_param_spec_unref):
	Use atomic operations instead of a lock to make the
	refcounting threadsafe.

	* gclosure.c (g_closure_ref, g_closure_unref): Use atomic
	operations. This is more complicated here, since the
	refcount is stored in a bitfield, so we also have
	to access all other bitfield members atomically.

	* gsignal.c (handlers_find): Read the meta_marshal flag
	of the closure atomically.

	* tests/Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Add tests/refcount

	* configure.in: Add tests/refcount

	* tests/refcount/properties.c: Test property changes
	from multiple threads.

	* tests/refcount/signals.c: Test signal emission from
	multiple threads.

	* tests/refcount/objects.c: Test refcounting from

	* tests/refcount/properties2.c: Tests to measure the
	overhead of threadsafe refcounting.
