Cygwin support contributed by Stefan Ondrejicka
<ondrej@idata.sk>. Hopefully I got it all in while simultaneously
adding support for auto*/libtool for mingw.
* Makefile.am: Changes for auto* support on Cygwin and Win32. Do
still distribute the hand-written makefiles and *.win32.in files,
though. Use GIO, GSPAWN and PLATFORMDEP macros set by configure.
Use -no-undefined. Pass -export-symbols glib.def to libtool.
* configure.in: Define G_PLATFORM_WIN32 on both pure Win32 (mingw)
and Cygwin. Add AC_CYGWIN, AC_EXEEXT and AC_LIBTOOL_WIN32_DLL
calls for Cygwin and mingw support. Check for %I64u guint64
format (in MS C library). Set G_MODULE_IMPL on mingw and
Cygwin. Use ac_object and ac_exeext. Set GIO, GSPAWN, PLATFORMDEP
and G_LIBS_EXTRA. Compile timeloop only on Unix. Define OS_WIN32
automake conditional on Win32.
* glib.h: Include gwin32.h also on Cygwin.
* gfileutils.c (get_contents_posix): Use O_BINARY (defined as 0 on
Unix) for Cygwin's sake.
* gtimer.c (GETTIME): Reduce #ifdefs, use a macro GETTIME().
* gconvert.c
* gthread.c
* gutf8.c
* gutils.c: For code needed both on Cygwin and native Win32,
test for G_PLATFORM_WIN32.
* gmarkup.h: Use G_BEGIN_DECLS and G_END_DECLS.
* gtypes.h: Refine GLIB_VAR definition. Also check for DLL_EXPORT
in case compiling a static library on Win32 or Cygwin.
* gwin32.c: No <direct.h> on Cygwin. No need for ftruncate() or
dirent emulation on Cygwin.
(get_package_directory_from_module) Convert return value from
GetModuleFileName() to POSIX path on Cygwin.
* tests/Makefile.am (progs_LDADD): Link with libglib, libgthread
and libgmodule as appropriate. Use -no-undefined.
* gbacktrace.c: Move #ifdefs around a bit on Win32.
* gshell.c (unquote_string_inplace): Make static.
2001-02-23 Sebastian Wilhelmi <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>
* gthread.h (struct _GThread): Change the order to match the order
in g_thread_create().
* gthread.c (g_static_rec_mutex_lock_full): Also do the right
thing (behave like 'depth' calls to g_static_rec_mutex_lock) for a
mutex, that is already locked.
* glib/tmpl/threads.sgml: Big update. Almost ready.
* glib/tmpl/async_queues.sgml: Typo.
* glib/glib-sections.txt: Added g_static_rec_mutex_init,
g_static_rec_mutex_free, g_static_rw_lock_init,
g_static_private_init and g_static_private_free.
* glib/glib-overrides.txt: Added g_thread_yield and g_thread_exit.
2001-02-15 Sebastian Wilhelmi <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>
* acconfig.h, configure.in: Reverted the changes necessary to
enlarge the system thread for G_THREAD_USE_PID_SURROGATE.
* gthread.c: Now implement G_THREAD_USE_PID_SURROGATE in gthread.c
instead of gthread/gthread-posix.c. While the latter has the
advantage, that it is conceptually cleaner, it makes
g_thread_self_posix_impl _very_ slow and that hurts
GStaticRecMutex and other things. So the new version is less
clean, but faster.
* gthread-posix.c: Removed the G_THREAD_USE_PID_SURROGATE
implementation, which is now in gthread.c.
2001-02-13 Sebastian Wilhelmi <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>
* gthread.c, gthread.h: Added functions g_static_rec_mutex_init,
g_static_rec_mutex_free, g_static_private_init,
g_static_private_free, g_static_rw_lock_init to allow the usage of
all those types dynamically. (g_static_rw_lock_free already
existed). Aditionally freed static_private indeces are reused
now. Untill now the array would just grow if you would use more
and more static_private. That required adding a slist of all
running threads, which could potentially be of good use later. It
is not exported however. Renamed a LOCK and small indentation
fixes.
* tests/thread-test.c: Test the new static_private index freing
and reusing feature.
2001-02-01 Sebastian Wilhelmi <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>
* gthread.c, gthread.h: Added g_static_mutex_init to allow
initialization of a GStaticMutex, that can not be initialized with
G_STATIC_MUTEX_INIT, for example in allocated structures.
* glib/tmpl/threads.sgml, glib/glib-sections.txt: Added
documentation for g_static_mutex_init().
WCVS: ----------------------------------------------------------------------
2001-01-30 Sebastian Wilhelmi <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>
* gthread/gthread-impl.c (g_thread_init_with_errorcheck_mutexes): Call
g_thread_impl_init(), as g_thread_init won't call it.
* glib/glib-sections.txt, glib/tmpl/threads.sgml: Added
g_static_mutex_free
* gthread.c, gthread.h: Added g_static_mutex_free to allow using
GStaticMutexes with limited lifetime without leaking.
* configure.in: GStaticMutex doesn't have to provide extra space
for debugging information for G_ERRORCHECK_MUTEXES, as then the
non-default implementation (runtime_mutex) is used anyway.
2001-01-29 Sebastian Wilhelmi <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>
* gthread.c: Broadcast the condition, if there are waiting
readers, as all might read at the same time. Only signal the
writer thread, if there are no more readers.
* gthread/gthread-impl.c (g_mutex_free_errorcheck_impl): Add
new check to errorcheck mutexes to abort, if a locked mutex is freed.
2000-11-28 Sebastian Wilhelmi <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>
* gthread-impl.c: Revamped errorcheck mutexes and added errorcheck
cond_wait() and cond_timed_wait() funtions. This makes he whole
thing work. Now we only show the location of the locking/unlocking
for -DG_ERRORCHECK_MUTEXES and not the name of the mutex.
* gthread.c: Set the thread data before locking the mutex, because
the locking call might use g_thread_self ().
* gthread.h: Do only show the location of the locking/unlocking
for -DG_ERRORCHECK_MUTEXES and not the name of the mutex. Add the
errorcheck capability for g_cond_wait and g_cond_timed_wait as
well.
2000-11-21 Sebastian Wilhelmi <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>
* configure.in: Add a surrogate for thread priorities using PID
niceness for systems with no thread priorities and different PIDs
for threads of the same process (most notably: Linux). Define
G_THREAD_USE_PID_SURROGATE in that case, as used by
gthread-posix.c. Also make the system thread bigger by
sizeof (long) to contain the thread's PID.
* gfileutils.c: Include stdlib.h for mkstemp prototype.
* gthread.c: Add priority range checks to the affected functions.
* gthreadpool.c: Remove unused variable.
* gthread-impl.c, gthread-posix.c, gthread-solaris.c: Removed
g_thread_map_priority function in favour of the
g_thread_priority_map array. Initialize the array with
PRIORITY_{...}_VALUE, if available and interpolate beetween the
bounds if .._NORMAL_.. and .._HIGH_.. are not available.
* gthread-posix.c: If we should use the PID niceness as a
surrogate for thread priorities (G_THREAD_USE_PID_SURROGATE is
defined), then disable normal priority handling and use PIDs and
setpriority() instead. Depends on the thread to write its PID into
the place after the thread id right after thread creation.
2000-11-13 Sebastian Wilhelmi <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>
* gthread.c (g_static_rec_mutex_*): Made recursive mutexes also
work when the thread system is not (yet) initialized.
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.

* *.[hc]: applied patch from Andreas Persenius <ndap@swipnet.se> that
updates the license headers to the GNU Lesser General Public License,
as well as updating the copyright year to 2000.
2000-03-17 Sebastian Wilhelmi <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>
* configure.in: Added the missing POSIX_NO_YIELD and
POSIX_NO_PRIORITIES warning messages.
* configure.in: Use AC_TRY_RUN instead of AC_TRY_LINK, to test for
real thread support. On solaris pthread_create can be linked to
even in -lc, but it doesn't work then.
* configure.in: Don't use priorities for threads, when the
minimal/maximal priorities couldn't be determined at configure
time.
* configure.in, gthread.c: Always define GSystemThread in
glibconfig.h to represent a system thread.
* configure.in: Do not use native recursive threads, when
possibe. We use some features, that they do not expose (namely the
depth counter).
* glib.h, gthread.c: Redefined GStaticRecMutex. The functions are
now implemented in a different way, which should be way
faster. Alsothere are now functions g_static_rec_mutex_unlock_full
and g_static_rec_mutex_lock_full to leave/enter a recursive mutex
completly.
* gthread.c (g_thread_self): Do not test the system_thread to be
non-zero to speed things up.
* gthread.c (g_mutex_init): Therefore set the system_thread of the
main thread here.
* tests/thread-test.c: Rerun all tests once again, but this time
we fool the system into thinking, that the available thread system
is not native, but userprovided.
* gthread/gthread-posix.c: Don't use priorities for threads,
when the minimal/maximal priorities couldn't be determined at
configure time.
* gthread/gthread-posix.c: Don't check for errors, when
setting the scope of a tread to system, as some posix
implementations can't do that and we don't want the thing to
fail because of that.
1999-11-16 Sebastian Wilhelmi <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>
* acconfig.h, config.h.win32.in, configure.in: Renamed
GLIB_SIZEOF_PTHREAD_T to GLIB_SIZEOF_SYSTEM_THREAD to reflect
changed meaning.
* configure.in: Cope with systems, that have a pthread_t type,
that is not a pointer. Hint from Karl Nelson
<kenelson@ece.ucdavis.edu>. Define GLIB_SIZEOF_SYSTEM_THREAD to 4
for Solaris. Cope with systems, that have no default mutex
initialize, like obviously most DCE systems.
* glib.h, gthread.c: Changed the prototype of thread_create and
thread_self to return the system thread into provided memory
instead of a return value. This is necessary, as HPUX has a
pthread_t, that is bigger than the biggest integral type there.
* gthread.c: system_thread is no longer a pointer, but an memory
area of size GLIB_SIZEOF_SYSTEM_THREAD. Changed the
zeroinitialization and the tests for zeroness accordingly.
* README.win32: Update the pthreads snapshot version we want.
Advice how to hand-expand the makefile.*.in files.
* config.h.win32.in: Define values needed by Sebastian Wilhelmi's
new thread stuff.
* glib.def: Add new functions.
* glibconfig.h.win32.in: Update the pthreads snapshot version.
Fix typo.
* gthread.c: Include config.h, guard inclusion of unistd.h. When
using gcc on Win32, g_thread_functions_for_glib_use must be marked
for export here, too.
* gtimer.c: Implement g_usleep on native Win32 using Sleep (which
only has millisecond granularity, though).
* makefile.cygwin.in
* makefile.msc.in: Update pthreads snapshot version. File
name changes. Remove testgthread.
* tests/makefile.cygwin.in
* tests/makefile.msc.in: Add thread-test. Link with gthread lib.
* gthread-posix.c: Guard pthread_attr_setscope call with test
for _POSIX_THREAD_PRIORITY_SCHEDULING, which should be defined
in a <pthread.h> that supports that feature.
1999-06-17 Sebastian Wilhelmi <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>
* configure.in, acglib.m4, acconfig.h, glib.h, gthread.c:
Completed the thread support in GLib. Thread creation,
prioritizing threads, yielding, joining threads as well as
reader/writer locks and recursive mutexes are now in place. Please
test heavily on your platform. It is so far tested on
Linux/i386/pthreads, Solaris/Sparc/pthreads and
Solaris/Sparc/solaristhreads.
* gtimer.c, glib.h: Implement g_usleep (gulong microseconds) for
thread safe sleeping. (sleep() is not MT-safe at all!)
* gutils.c: Avoid compiler warning.
* tests/Makefile.am, tests/thread-test.c: New program to test some
aspects of the thread implementation.
* gthread.c, Makefile.am: Renamed from gmutex.c to reflect the
change of content.
* configure.in: Purged all appearances of nspr.
* gthread/gthread-posix.c, gthread-solaris.c: Added the native
implementations for the GLib's extended thread support.
* gthread/gthread-nspr.c: Removed for good. NSPR is nothing we
would want to build upon.
* gthread/gthread.c: Renamed to gthread-impl.c to avoid
confusion with ../gthread.c (Formerly known as the file called
gmutex.c)
* gthread/testgthread.c: Removed. The new and much extended
tests are in ../tests/thread-test.c.
* gthread/Makefile.am: Changed to reflect the changes above.
