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.

Some (broken) toolchains for example trip up
-Werror=missing-prototypes in system headers. This patch allows
people to skip the formerly hardcoded "baseline" warnings.

Before this commit, the only difference between the expected and actual
ABI were the addition of _init and _fini symbols in each module (now
that regexp-based export control is not catching those).
We only want to control the default visibility for our five main
installable libraries: libglib, libgthread, libgmodule, libgobject,
libgio. We should therefore only set -fvisibility=hidden when building
those.
Use a separate substitution variable for this purpose.
Using CFLAGS directly leads to some modules built in testcases not
exporting their symbols (and then the tests fail). It also affects the
fam file monitoring module.
Colin had originally done it this way in his visibility patch series but
I failed to understand why so I didn't copy it. Now I do.
Also: revert changes made to two testcases in an attempt to work around
this issue.

With visibility now under the control of __declspec(dllexport) we no
longer need to build .def files or use them for building our various
.dll files.
.def files used to be installed (even though it is only really useful
when creating the .dll or .lib file). Don't do that anymore either.
The Makefiles still contain rules to create a .lib file for use with
Visual Studio and these rules require .def files. There are special
requirements to using these rules (like having installed and setup
Microsoft tools for use during the build) and therefore the problem of
creating a .def file for use with them is left open to anyone willing to
make the effort. Many options are available depending on which
toolchain is in use (dlltool, pexport, gendef, dumpbin.exe, just to name
a few).
If we can find a free tool for creating .lib files in the future, we
should probably revisit this issue and add proper support back to our
build system.
Add the GLIB_AVAILABLE_IN_ALL annotation to all old functions (that
haven't already been annotated with the GLIB_AVAILABLE_IN_* macros or a
deprecation macro).
If we discover in the future that we cannot use only one macro on
Windows, it will be an easy sed patch to fix that.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=688681
To avoid -Wmissing-prototype warnings, we need to prototype both the
original and the _utf8 versions of all of the functions that have had
_utf8-renaming on Windows. But duplicating all the prototypes is ugly,
so rather than doing them "in-place", move them all to a new header
file just for that.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=688109
When building with MinGW/MSYS with srcdir != builddir the build fails:
- to locate the generated .def files
- creating libglib-gdb.py
- creating libgobject-gdb.py
Solved this by explicitly instructing these files to be generated
in $(builddir)/...

All locks are now zero-initialised, so we can drop the G_*_INIT macros
for them.
Adjust various users around GLib accordingly and change the docs.

The -e parameter to echo isn't recognized by echo in POSIX sh,
but isn't needed when no escaped characters need to be
interpreted.
This fixes building glib with a mingw cross compiler on Mac OS X.

Don't call LoadLibrary() on shell32.dll or kernel32.dll. kernel32.dll
is always loaded. Shell32.dll is also already loaded as glib links to
functions in it. So just call GetModuleHandle() on them.
For mlang.dll in win_iconv.c and winhttp.dll in gwinhttpvfs.c, always
try loading them from a complete path, from the Windows system
directory.
Use the "tool help" API to enumerate modules in gmodule-win32.c. It is
present in all Windows versions since Windows 2000, which is all we
support anyway. Thus no need to look that API up dynamically. Just
link to it normally. We can bin the fallback code that attempts to use
the psapi API.
This is a minimal patch-out of the galias functionality. We will do a
release like this so that we can easily back it out if there are
reported problems.
A more substantial cleanup (mostly removing #includes from every file)
will follow if there are no issues.
Update various README files to refer to git instead of svn.
Add a README.commits that is pretty much a copy of the same file
in GTK+. Also discontinue ChangeLog files.

* gmodule-win32.c: Improve error reporting: When g_module_open()
fails, include the name of the module passed to LoadLibrary() in
what g_module_error() returns.

Bug 551408 - gmodule.def generated to builddir, but required in srcdir
* Makefile.am: Use gmodule.def from builddir, not srcdir.

2008-07-27 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
* gmodule.symbols: New file.
* gmodule.c: Bypass the Windows ABI compatibility symbols on
64-bit Windows. Thus no need to keep the file name in system
codepage around on 64-bit Windows either.
* Makefile.am: Produce gmodule.def from gmodule.symbols. Dist
gmodule.symbols instead of gmodule.def.
* gmodule.def: Drop from SVN.

2008-07-27 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
* configure.in: Set LIB_EXE_MACHINE_FLAG to either X86 or X64 on
Windows. AC_SUBST it.

flag to lib.exe when producing the import library for the MS
toolchain.

2008-05-05 Michael Natterer <mitch@imendio.com>
* Makefile.am. build with G_DISABLE_SINGLE_INCLUDES to prevent
code from being checked in that breaks the build of applications
which use G_DISABLE_SINGLE_INCLUDES.

* configure.in
* */Makefile.am: More work on enabling static building on
Windows. When building statically: Also define
GOBJECT_STATIC_COMPILATION in glibconfig.h so that also the
variables in gparamspecs.h get declared without any
dllimport/dllexport decorations. Don't install .def files which
obviously have no meaning for static libraries. Don't create MS
import libraries. Don't do any resource object files.
svn path=/trunk/; revision=6866
2008-03-16 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
* configure.in: Don't bother defining Autoconf variables for
glib.def, gmodule.def, gobject.def and gthread.def when this can
be handled easily in */Makefile.am which are the only files that
use them. Remove also TESTGMODULE_EXP which isn't used at all.
* */Makefile.am: Corrsponding changes.

Remove support for Windows 9x/ME, as will be done also in Pango
and GTK+. GTK+ hasn't worked on Win9x since 2.6 or 2.8 anyway, so
it's pretty pointless to keep the Win9x code in here either. If
somebody is interested, the code can always be found in older GLib
versions, and in CVS.
* glib/gdir.c
* glib/gfileutils.c
* glib/gspawn-win32-helper.c
* glib/gspawn-win32.c
* glib/gstdio.c
* glib/gutils.c
* glib/gwin32.c
* glib/gwin32.h: Remove the G_WIN32_IS_NT_BASED() and
G_WIN32_HAVE_WIDECHAR_API() tests and their false (Win9x)
branches, and any variables or static functions used only by the
Win9x branches.
* glib/gwin32.c (g_win32_windows_version_init): Call g_error() if
run on Win9x.
2006-03-29 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
* gmodule.c (g_module_symbol): Make sure to
not return TRUE if symbol is NULL. (#334440,
ITOH Yasufumi)
2005-07-09 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
* configure.in: Don't use autoconf variables for the resource
object files on Win32 any longer. Instead handle that in the
Makefile.am files. Check for windres.
* glibconfig.h.win32.in: Minor tuning to match the
configure-produced glibconfig.h closely.
* */Makefile.am: Don't use the scripts in build/win32 to
compile the .rc file into a resource object file. (This means
we loose the build number increment magic, but I doubt it was
that useful anyway.) Instead use windres directly. To pass the
normal .o file produced by windres through libtool, which
wants .lo files, pass it directly to the linker using a -Wl
option.
* */*.rc.in: Thus replace BUILDNUMBER with 0.
2005-06-26 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
* Makefile.am: libtool installs/uninstalls the import library, no
need to do it ourselves. Do still install/uninstall the .def file,
though.
2005-06-24 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
* glib/Makefile.am
* gmodule/Makefile.am
* gobject/Makefile.am: Current GNU tools do understand the
PRIVATE keyword.
* glib/gfileutils.c (g_mkdir_with_parents): Return error with
EINVAL also for empty pathnames.
(g_build_pathname_va): Fix typo.
2005-01-11 Owen Taylor <otaylor@redhat.com>
* configure.in: Add gmodule-export-2.0.pc to AC_CONFIG_FILES.
* glib/Makefile.am gobject/Makefile.am gthread/Makefile.am:
Use grep | head -n 1 instead of grep -m 1 which doesn't work
with slightly older versions of GNU grep in
install-libtool-import-lib rule.
2004-12-31 Tor Lillqvist <tml@iki.fi>
* gmodule.c (g_module_open): It's wrong to call g_file_test() with
more than one test (both G_FILE_TEST_EXISTS and _IS_REGULAR). (It
would succeed even if the pathname existed as a nonregular file.)
Just G_FILE_TEST_IS_REGULAR works fine. (#162594)
2004-11-04 Tor Lillqvist <tml@iki.fi>
* gmodule-win32.c (_g_module_open): Argument is in UTF-8. Use wide
character Win32 API if present.
* gmodule.c (parse_libtool_archive, g_module_open): Convert file
name to UTF-8 before storing in the error message string.
* gmodule.c (parse_libtool_archive): Use g_open().
2004-10-29 Hans Breuer <hans@breuer.org>
* glibconfig.h */makefile.msc.in : updated [and finally fixed my
script to produce ready to go de-in(ed) files, w/o autotools]
* */*.rc.in : updated copyrights to 2004
* glib/gutils.c : some CSIDL_* defines lacking from older SDK;
use the same fallback mecahnism as on *NIX where ever applicable
