G_THREADS_ENABLED still exists, but is always defined. It is still
possible to use libglib without threads, but gobject (and everything
above it) is now guaranteed to be using threads (as, in fact, it was
before, since it was accidentally impossible to compile with
--disable-threads).

If we are going to fail an assert, wait for a bit longer before doing so
(up to 5 seconds, if needed).
This is a long-standing Debian patch to fix build failures on really
slow machines.

* tests/threadpool-test.c (test_thread_pools): Grab
thread_counter_pools LOCK when increasing
leftover_task_counter. Fixes race in test. (#512624, Simon Murray)
svn path=/trunk/; revision=6406
* glib/gthreadpool.c: Make sure
g_thread_pool_stop_unused_threads() actually stops unused threads
and global limits (like max idle time and max unused threads) can
be set without creating a thread pool first. Fixed#335215 (patch
from Chris Wilson).
* tests/threadpool-test.c: Added two new tests, tests setting
global limits before creating a thread pool. The second test
makes sure unused threads are actually stopped when using the
g_thread_pool_stop_unused_threads().
* glib/gthreadpool.c: Updated the documentation to explain that
when the maximum threads is > 1 the sort functionality is not 100%
accurate due to the ramdom nature of the scheduler choosing which
threads to execute. Fixes bug #334943.
* tests/threadpool-test.c: Disabled the debugging by default and
fixed the sort test to set the maximum threads to 1 to guarantee
the thread entry function is called in order.

* glib/gthreadpool.c: To avoid deadlocks get rid of the settings
G_LOCK. Use the unused_thread_queue lock instead. Change
g_thread_pool_thread_proxy such that threads only wait on
non-exlusive pools for at most a 1/2 second. Do not reorder tasks
due to superfluous tasks. Global tasks wait at most for
max-idle-time milliseconds. Make sure, that no task is woken up
twice for the same event via a wakeup_serial. This fixes#324228.
* tests/threadpool-test.c: Adapt test accordingly. Do not pass
invalid NULL into the thread pools. This as well fixes#327290.
* docs/reference/glib/glib-sections.txt:
* glib/glib.symbols:
* glib/gthreadpool.[ch]:
- Added new API g_thread_pool_get_idle_time() and
g_thread_pool_set_idle_time(). (#324228).
* tests/threadpool-test.c:
- Updated test case to do thread pool sorting, thread pool with
no sorting and a thread pool with idle thread timeouts.
2005-12-20 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
* glib/glib.symbols:
* glib/gthreadpool.h:
* glib/gthreadpool.c (g_thread_pool_set_sort_function): New function
to sort tasks pushed into a threadpool. (#324479, Martyn Russell)
* tests/threadpool-test.c: Test this.
2005-07-20 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
* glib/gthreadpool.c (g_thread_pool_free): Don't get
stuck in here if immediate is TRUE. (#310954,
Hong Jen Yee)
* tests/threadpool-test.c (main): Test immediate == TRUE.
2002-07-04 Sebastian Wilhelmi <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>
* tests/*.c: Added #undef G_DISABLE_ASSERT and #undef G_LOG_DOMAIN
throughout the files, which didn't already have them. (#87312)
2001-05-18 Sebastian Wilhelmi <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>
* gthread.c, gthread.h: Renamed g_thread_create to
g_thread_create_full and added macro g_thread_create, which omits
'stack_size', 'bound' and 'priority' parameters. Also removed
'bound' from GThread struct.
* gthreadpool.h, gthreadpool.c: Adapted GThreadPool to the above
changes. GThreadPool lost the 'priority' and 'bound'
members. g_thread_pool_new the 'stack_size', 'bound' and
'priority' parameters.
* tests/mainloop-test.c, tests/thread-test.c,
tests/threadpool-test.c: Adapted to the above changes.
2000-09-28 Sebastian Wilhelmi <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>
* configure.in: Moved determination of G_THREAD_FLAGS before
G_THREAD_LIBS. Check for UnixWare systems and set the right cflags
and libs there (it needs -Kthread for the native compiler and
-pthread for gcc). Thanks to Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>
for the info.
* configure.in: Fail immediately, when no thread library is found,
instead of continuing searching for rt libs etc. Changed almost
all occurances of $enable_threads to $have_threads, as that's,
what we want.
* tests/threadpool-test.c: Define vars inside the guard to avoid
warnings.
2000-09-01 Sebastian Wilhelmi <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>
* glib.h: Include gerror.h before it is used for some g_thread_*
functions.
* gthread.c, gthreadpool.c, glib.h: Enable error reporting for
thread creation, namly for g_thread_create, g_thread_pool_new,
g_thread_pool_push and g_thread_pool_set_max_threads.
* tests/thread-test.c, tests/threadpool-test.c: Adapted
accordingly.
* gthread-posix.c (g_thread_create_posix_impl): Use GError to
report errors.
2000-04-28 Sebastian Wilhelmi <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>
* gasyncqueue.c: New File implementing an asynchronous queue to be
used for asynchronous inter-thread communication.
* gthreadpool.c: New File implementing a thread pool to be used
for distributing work among several threads.
* glib.h: Added the type and function declarations for these two
types.
* tests/threadpool-test.c: New File implementing a test for the
thread pool. This also checks the asynchronous queue underlying
the thread pool.
* tests/Makefile.am: Changed accordingly.
