Use the new g_type_interface_instantiable_prerequisite() to check
compatibility for transform functions.
In particular, this allows interfaces (in my case GDK_TYPE_PAINTABLE) to
be transformed to/from any GObject type (in my case G_TYPE_OBJECT) using
the transform function registered to tranform between any 2 objects
(g_value_object_transform_value() does a type check and uses NULL if the
types don't match).
And this in turn allows be to g_object_bind_property() a gobject-typed
generic property (GtkListItem::item) to a GtkImage::paintable.
If we have an input parameter (or return value) we need to use (nullable).
However, if it is an (inout) or (out) parameter, (optional) is sufficient.
It looks like (nullable) could be used for everything according to the
Annotation documentation, but (optional) is more specific.
Add various (nullable) and (optional) annotations which were missing
from a variety of functions. Also port a couple of existing (allow-none)
annotations in the same files to use (nullable) and (optional) as
appropriate instead.
Secondly, add various (not nullable) annotations as needed by the new
default in gobject-introspection of marking gpointers as (nullable). See
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=729660.
This includes adding some stub documentation comments for the
assertion macro error functions, which weren’t previously documented.
The new comments are purely to allow for annotations, and hence are
marked as (skip) to prevent the symbols appearing in the GIR file.

g_value_unset() only works with initialized value and will assert
if the GValue is zero-filled (or initialized with G_VALUE_INIT). Document
this behaviour and refer to g_value_clear() for a method that work on
both initialized and zero-filled GValue.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=755766
Used for the commonly used case (in signal emission) where we
initialize and set a GValue for an instance
Includes a fast-path for GObject
Overall makes it 6 times faster than the previous combination
of g_value_init + g_value_set_instance
Makes signal emission around 10% faster
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=731950
Since we are no longer using sgml mode, using /* */ to
escape block comments inside examples does not work anymore.
Switch to using line comments with //
If two GValues are transformable, it implies they are compatible,
so you do not need to check for compatibility yourself. Bump the
documentation to reflect this fact.

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.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=700746
Very many testcases, some GLib tools (resource compiler, etc) and
GApplication were calling g_type_init().
Remove those uses, as they are no longer required.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=686161
The implementation of GValue is not public or documented. When
allocated on the stack, initializing a GValue is usually done as
documented with:
GValue value = { 0, };
There is lot code around (including WebKit) that added all the missing
fields, resulting in this ugly and non-obvious:
GValue value = { 0, { { 0 } } };
However, this doesn't play nice with -Wmissing-field-initializers for
example. Thus, G_VALUE_INIT.

Bug 523939 – Example program for GValue
* gobject/gvalue.c: Add code example that demonstrates GValue's
features.
svn path=/trunk/; revision=7387
2008-06-22 Michael Natterer <mitch@imendio.com>
* *.c: remove trailing whitespace from newly added gtk-doc
comments and reformatted some where they contained overly long or
ill-formatted lines.
svn path=/trunk/; revision=7090
* gobject/gboxed.c:
* gobject/gclosure.c:
* gobject/genums.c:
* gobject/gvalue.c:
Use file-names from the section file for SECTION: comments.
svn path=/trunk/; revision=7072
Mon Oct 2 15:50:16 2006 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* gvalue.c (g_value_peek_pointer): reverted a change to have an
assert instead of a g_return_val_if_fail() here. libraries (and
programs) should only ever g_assert or g_error if there is no way
to carry on with the current program state. that's clearly not
the case here.
* ChangeLog: added missing changelog entry for 2003-12-30.
2005-03-14 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
* abicheck.sh: Make work again.
* gsourceclosure.c: Fix a typo.
Make PLT-reduction work with gcc4, and don't include
everything in gobjectalias.h:
* gobject.symbols: Group symbols by header and source
file.
* makegobjectalias.pl: Protect definitions by the same
preprocessor symbols used to guard the headers. Move
the alias declarations to a separate file which is
produced when calling makegalias.pl -def
* Makefile.am (gobjectaliasdef.c): Add a rule to
build this file.
* *.c: Include gobjectalias.h after the other i
GLib headers, include gobjectaliasdef.c at the bottom.
2004-09-16 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
Implement the same PLT reduction technique used in GTK+:
* Makefile.am: Generate gobjectalias.h from gobject.symbols.
(BUILT_SOURCES): Add gobjectalias.h.
* makegobjectalias.pl: Script to generate gobjectalias.h.
* *.c: Include gobjectalias.h
Wed Dec 17 23:29:17 2003 Matthias Clasen <maclas@gmx.de>
* gvalue.c (g_value_peek_pointer): Use g_assert() instead of
g_return_val_if_fail(), suggested by Sheldon Simms.
Tue Aug 19 04:08:14 2003 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* gvalue.c: adapt to new gbsearcharray.h code.
(g_value_register_transform_func): turn transform function
replacement into a valid operation.
* gsignal.c: adapt to new gbsearcharray.h code.
* gboxed.c: adapt to new gbsearcharray.h code.
Mon Feb 17 20:59:47 2003 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* gvalue.c (g_value_register_transform_func): don't assert the types
passed in to have value tables. this prevents dynamic types from
registering transform functions.
2001-12-10 Sven Neumann <sven@gimp.org>
* gobject/gvalue.c (g_value_register_transform_func): perform an exact
match on the two types instead of using transform_func_lookup().
Wed Mar 14 18:46:54 2001 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* gscanner.[hc]: removed archaic gpointer derived_data; relict and
added a GData member instead.
* glist.[hc]: added g_list_remove_all().
* gslist.[hc]: added g_slist_remove_all().
Sat Mar 17 23:18:36 2001 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* gobject.c (g_object_get_property): minor bug-fix.
* gbsearcharray.[hc]: provide a macro for static initialization and
functions g_bsearch_array_new() and g_bsearch_array_destroy() for
dynamic allocations.
* gboxed.c: introduce G_TYPE_GSTRING, boxed type for GString.
* gclosure.[hc]: naming corrections.
Fri Mar 9 16:42:08 2001 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* gvaluetypes.[hc]: moved g_strdup_value_contents() into this file as
a public function (was static in gobject.c before). it's a bit odd
to have that function here, especially since it requires extra includes,
but then it doesn't very well fit somewhere else either.
* gparamspecs.c: added default/max/min checks to param spec creation
functions.
Wed Mar 7 09:36:33 2001 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* gboxed.[hc]: changed prototype of g_boxed_type_register_static()
to contain an optional init function and a hint at whether the
boxed structure uses ref counting internally.
added g_value_set_boxed_take_ownership().
made G_TYPE_BOXED an abstract value type.
* genums.[hc]: made G_TYPE_ENUM and G_TYPE_FLAGS abstract value
types.
* glib-genmarshal.c: argument type changes, preparation for third-party
arg specification.
* gobject.[hc]: cleaned up get/set property code.
added g_strdup_value_contents() to improve warnings.
* gparam.[hc]: added g_param_value_convert(), taking over responsibility
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.
* gvaluetransform.c: new file implementing most of the former value
exchange functions as single-sided transformations.
* gvaluetypes.[hc]: nuked G_TYPE_CCALLBACK, added
g_value_set_string_take_ownership().
* *.h: s/G_IS_VALUE_/G_VALUE_HOLDS_/.
* *.[hc]: many fixes and cleanups.
* many warning improvements.
Tue Feb 27 18:35:15 2001 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* gobject.c (g_object_get_valist): urg, pass G_VALUE_NOCOPY_CONTENTS
into G_VALUE_LCOPY(), this needs proper documenting.
* gparam.c: fixed G_PARAM_USER_MASK.
* gtype.c (type_data_make_W):
(type_data_last_unref_Wm): fixed invalid memory freeing.
* gobject.c (g_object_last_unref): destroy signal handlers associated
with object, right before finalization.
* gsignal.c (g_signal_parse_name): catch destroyed nodes or signals
that don't actually support details.
* gobject.[hc]: got rid of property trailers. nuked GObject
properties "data" and the "signal" variants.
(g_object_connect): new convenience function to do multiple
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()
as private (the latter got renamed from g_value_get_as_pointer()).
Wed Mar 7 09:32:06 2001 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* glib-object.h: add gvaluearray.h.
* gstring.[hc]: fixup naming of g_string_sprint*.
* gtypes.h: fixed GCompareDataFunc naming.
Wed Mar 7 09:33:27 2001 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* gobject/Makefile.am: shuffled rules to avoid excessive
rebuilds.
* gobject/gobject-sections.txt: updates.
* gobject/tmpl/*: bunch of updates, added another patch
from Eric Lemings <eric.b.lemings@lmco.com>.
Sat Feb 17 04:55:35 2001 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* gtype.[hc]: changed collect_format, collect_value() and lcopy_format,
lcopy_value() in the GTypeValueTable. the collect functions are now
called only once per value, collect_format/lcopy_format are strings
that enlist all necessary GTypeCValues to be varargs-collected.
* gvalue.h: ranamed STATIC_TAG to G_VALUE_NOCOPY_CONTENTS to indicate that
a value shouldn't copy its contents.
* gvaluecollector.h: changed G_VALUE_COLLECT() and G_VALUE_LCOPY()
macros to carry an additional argument (flags) that can be used
to pass G_VALUE_NOCOPY_CONTENTS along to the collection functions.
* *.c: adapted collect_value() and lcopy_value() functions to the new
prototypes, support G_VALUE_NOCOPY_CONTENTS where apropriate.
* gsignal.[hc]: introduced a G_SIGNAL_TYPE_STATIC_SCOPE flag that can
be passed along (ORed) with the parameter types, indicating that the
emission arguments are to be considered static for the scope of the
emission. should be used with care and only if the caller knows that
a parameter cannot be destroyed/freed from signal handlers connected
to an emission.
Wed Jan 31 07:14:22 2001 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* gobject/Makefile.am: adapt to work with new CVS gtk-doc, leaving the old
rules in place caused bogus recursions. main changes:
- add to conditionalized section:
all-local:
$(MAKE) scan
$(MAKE) templates
$(MAKE) sgml
$(MAKE) html.stamp
html.stamp: sgml.stamp $(EXTRA_SGML_FILES)
$(MAKE) html
DOC_STAMPS= html.stamp sgml.stamp
- change:
maintainer-clean-local: clean
- cd $(srcdir) && rm -rf sgml html $(DOC_MODULE)-decl-list.txt $(DOC_MODULE)-decl.txt
+ cd $(srcdir) && rm -rf sgml html $(DOC_MODULE)-decl-list.txt $(DOC_MODULE)-decl.txt $(DOC_STAMPS)
* glib/Makefile.am (maintainer-clean-local): dito.
Wed Jan 31 06:21:32 2001 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* gobject/tmpl/types.sgml: applied docu patch from Eric Lemings
<eric.b.lemings@lmco.com>, did some more editing.
Wed Jan 31 06:19:49 2001 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* gparam.h: gtk-doc sucks for not dealing with #define inside enums.
* gtype.[hc]: added G_TYPE_FLAG_RESERVED_ID_BIT, a bit in the type
number that's supposed to be left untouched (preserved mainly
for the signal code).
* *.c: added thread safety code, based on an old patch from sebastian.
the remaining thread safety issues are now datalists on pspecs (to be
solved im gdataset.c) and gvalue.c where locking concerns value exchange
functionality only, and that's soon to be revised.
