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.

g_object_notify_by_pspec() will emit the "notify" signal on the given
pspec, short-circuiting the hash table lookup needed by
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
10-15% speedup over using g_object_notify().

types + 1 for a type.

g_signal_connect_swapped().
Tue May 22 02:46:13 2001 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* gobject.c (g_value_set_object): make g_value_set_object()
take a gpointer v_object so people don't need to G_OBJECT()
cast NULL pointers (C code convenience).
2001-02-21 Tor Lillqvist <tml@iki.fi>
* *.h: Use G_BEGIN_DECLS and G_END_DECLS.

* gboxed.[hc]: changed prototype of g_boxed_type_register_static()
to contain an optional init function and a hint at whether the

arg specification.

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.

exchange functions as single-sided transformations.

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()

marshallers, suport G_TYPE_PARAM, come with extern "C" and
#include gmarshal.h.
* glib-genmarshal.1: reflect glib-genmarshal.c updates.
* gobject.[hc]: implement object constructor. rework parameter
changed notification queueing, we support queue freezes now and
don't dispatch from an idle handler anymore.
parameter->property rename hassle.
implemented ::properties_changed and ::notify::* signals for
property change notification (the later supports property names
as details). added signal connection and named data properties.
(g_signal_connect_object): new function to setup while_alive
connections.
(g_object_class_install_property): sink properties now, since they
are initially floating.

emitting GObject::notify::detail with detail being the changed
properties names.
(G_OBJECT_WARN_INVALID_PROPERTY_ID): saner macro variant of former
G_WARN_INVALID_PARAM_ID().
* gparam.[hc]: param specs are now initially floating and need to be
sunken with g_param_spec_sink(), support G_TYPE_PARAM values.
added G_PARAM_CONSTRUCT and G_PARAM_CONSTRUCT_ONLY parameter flags,
required by GObjectClass.constructor().
* gparamspecs.[hc]: added GParamSpecParam, GParamSpecPointer and
GParamSpecCCallback, param specs for G_TYPE_PARAM, G_TYPE_POINTER
and G_TYPE_CCALLBACK respectively.

the points that need to reflect the upcoming rename.
melt g_type_conforms_to() functionality into g_type_is_a(), as that
is what we really want (liskov substitution principle).
assorted changes to other files due to conforms_to->is_a.

from an instantiatable type via the value_table's collect_value()
function (based on an idea from James Henstridge <james@daa.com.au>).

Sat Oct 28 00:28:09 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>

for post_marshal guard which was off at 0.
Fri Oct 27 21:49:31 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* gobject.[hc]: doh, fix argument order in for
g_cclosure_new_object_swap and g_cclosure_new_object.

interface VTable from instances.
Mon Oct 23 08:28:15 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* gobject.[hc]: new functions for closure maintenance:
(g_object_watch_closure): maintain validity of the object and
the closure for objects that are used as data part of a closure.
(g_cclosure_new_object): convenience function to create C closures
that have an object as data argument.
(g_closure_new_object): convenience function to create closures
that have an object as data argument.
* gclosure.[hc]: implementation of GClosure mechanism.
a closure is basically an encapsulation of a callback function
and its environment. ideally, most places supporting callback
functions will simply take a GClosure* pointer and thus unify
callback environments wrg destroy notification etc.
GClosure provides destroy notifiers for arbitrary data pointers,
reference counting, invalidation notification (it can be invalidated
which is merely a deactivate state) and a marshallinbg abstraction.
GCClosure is also provided in these files, they present a specialized
GClosure implementation for C language callbacks.
* genum.c: macro cleanups.
* gboxed.[hc]: new files, for boxed type abstraction.
(g_boxed_copy): copy a boxed structure
(g_boxed_free): free a boxed structure
(g_value_set_boxed):
(g_value_get_boxed): standard GValue functions for boxed types
(g_boxed_type_register_static): convenience function for easy
introduction of new G_TYPE_BOXED derivatives.
* gparam.[hc]: introduced g_param_type_register_static(), a short hand
for creation of new GParamSpec derived types.
* gtype.[hc]: many fixes, introduced ability to flag individual
type nodes as ABSTRACT upon registration, added value_peek_pointer()
to the value table to peek at GValue contents as a pointer for types
that support this. fixed up GValue checks.
* gvalue.[hc]: added g_value_fits_pointer() and g_value_get_as_pointer()
to peek at the value contents as pointer.
* *.[hc]: adaptions to type macro fixes and changes in the type
registration API.
* many const corrections over the place.
Sat Oct 21 02:49:56 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* gtype.c (g_type_conforms_to): this function basically behaves like
and is_a check, except that it _additionally_ features interfaces
for instantiatable types. enforce this in the second branch as well
(`type' conforms_to `type') even if `type' is not an interface type.
Fri Oct 20 15:31:04 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* gvaluetypes.[hc]: added G_TYPE_POINTER implementation from jrb.
* gtype.[hc]:
* gobject.c:
* gvaluetypes.c: added GTypeValueTable.value_peek_pointer and
suitable implementations of this for G_TYPE_STRING, G_TYPE_OBJECT
and G_TYPE_POINTER.
Mon Aug 21 04:13:37 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* gbsearcharray.[hc]: long standing needed generic implementation
of a binary searchable, sorted and dynamically sized array.
