Practically no caller of these functions require atomic behaviour,
but the atomics are much slower than normal operations, which makes
it desirable to get rid of them. We have not done this before because
that would be a break of the ABI.
However, I recently looked into this and it seems that even if the
atomics *are* used for g_clear_* it is not ever safe to use this. The
atomics protects two threads that are racing to free a global/shared
object from freeing the object twice. However, any *user* of the global
object have no protection from the object being freed while in use,
because there is no paired operation the reads and refs the object
as an atomic unit (nor can such an operation be implemented using
purely atomic ops).
So, since nothing could safely have used the atomic aspects of these
functions I consider it acceptable to just remove it.

Don't emit property deprecation warnings for construct properties that
are being set to their default value during construction, but _do_ emit
them in all cases when the property was explicitly given to
g_object_new().
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=732184
By default G_PARAM_DEPRECATED means absolutely nothing. We only emit a
warning if G_ENABLE_DIAGNOSTIC is set to '1' and then, only on sets.
Turn the logic on its head: emit the warning by default, unless
G_ENABLE_DIAGNOSTIC is set to 0. In order to avoid a torrent of output, only
emit a warning once per property name.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=732184
Leave ourselves a little wiggle room: if people install properties after
initialisation then we reserve the right to handle that in a way that
may not be threadsafe.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=698614
Add a flag to prevent the automatic emission of the "notify" signal
during g_object_set_property().
If this flag is set then the class must explicitly emit the notify
for themselves. This is already standard practice on most classes, but
we cannot simply remove the existing behaviour because there are surely
many cases where it is needed.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=731200
Construct properties are always set during construction.
It makes no sense to warn about this even if the property
is marked as deprecated; the deprecation warning should
only be issues for explicit uses of the property after
construction.

Although returning NULL from constructor is strongly discouraged, some
old libraries need to keep doing it for ABI-compatibility reasons.
Given this, it's rude to forbid finalization from within
constructor(), since it would otherwise work correctly now anyway (and
the critical when returning NULL should discourage any new uses of
returning NULL from constructor()).

Since we are no longer using sgml mode, using /* */ to

The signals queued while notify is frozen are emitted in
reverse order, while omitting duplicates. The lack of documentation
for this was pointed out in

Rather than keeping a global list of objects that are being
constructed, use qdata on the object itself like we do with several
other properties now.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=661576
If a constructor() implementation created an object but then unreffed
it rather than returning it, that object would get left on the
construction_objects list, which would cause problems later when that
memory location got reused by another object.
"Fix" this by making it fail intentionally, and add a test for it (and
for the normal, working singleton case).
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=661576
Just like g_object_notify, check for a zero ref_count in
g_object_notify_by_pspec and leave if it is 0.
This allows using functions in ->finalize() that possibly also
notify a property change on the object. Previously,
this resulted in an error from g_object_ref.

We have turned up enough cases of this being done (including GTK API
allowing apps to do this to GtkSettings well after it has been
instantiated) that it is clear that we cannot really break this feature
while claiming to be backwards compatible.
For that reason, it becomes a warning rather than a critical (ie: it is
still well-defined behaviour, but you are discouraged from doing it).
The intention is to keep this feature for at least the next while.
A given GObjectClass will be able to avoid using GParamSpec pool for as
long as you don't install properties after init. If you do that, you
will get a warning and we will devolve to using GParamSpecPool.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=698614
GObject has previously allowed installing properties after class_init
has finished running. This means that you could install some of your
own properties on G_TYPE_OBJECT, for example, although they wouldn't
have worked properly.
A previous patch asserted that this was not true and we had to revert it
because it broke the shell. Instead of reverting, we should have used a
critical, so do that now.
Complaints go to this bug:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=698614
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
There is some code in the wild (like in gnome-session) that does this
from its custom _constructor() implementation:
{
GObject *obj;
obj = ((chain up));
if (!object_is_viable (obj))
{
g_object_unref (obj);
return NULL;
}
else
return obj;
}
This has never been a valid use of GObject and this code has always
caused memory to be leaked[1] by growing the construction_objects list.
The ability to legitimately return NULL from a constructor was exactly
the reason that we created GInitable, in fact.
That doesn't change the fact that the g_object_new() rewrite will crash
in this case, so instead of doing that, let's emit a critical and avoid
the crash. This will allow people to upgrade their GLib without also
upgrading their gnome-session. Meanwhile, people can fix their broken
code.
[1] not in the strictest sense of the word, because it's still reachable
Make a number of improvements to g_object_new():
- instead of looking up the GParamSpec for the named property once in
g_object_new() (in order to collect) and then again in g_object_newv
(when actually setting the property), g_object_new_internal() is a
new function that takes the GParamSpec on the interface to avoid the
second lookup
- in the case that ->constructor() is not set, we need not waste time
creating an array of GObjectConstructParam to pass in. Just directly
iterate the list of parameters, calling set_property() on each.
- instead of playing with linked lists to keep track of the construct
properties, realise that the number of construct properties that we
will set is exactly equal to the length of the construct_properties
list on GObjectClass and the only thing that may change is where the
value comes from (in the case that it was passed in)
This assumption was already implicit in the existing code and can be
seen from the sizing of the array used to hold the construct
properties, but it wasn't taken advantage of to make things simpler.
- instead of allocating and filling a separate array of the
non-construct properties just re-iterate the passed-in list and set
all properties that were not marked G_PARAM_CONSTRUCT (since the ones
that were construct params were already used during construction)
- use the new g_param_spec_get_default_value() API instead of
allocating and setting the GValue for each construct property that
wasn't passed from the user
Because we are now iterating the linked list of properties in-order we
need to append to that list during class initialising instead of
prepending.
These changes show a very small improvement on the simple-construction
performance testcase (probably just noise) and they improve the
complex-construction case by ~30%.

This reverts commit ddb0ce1421.
Colin's smoke testing has found issues in at least gjs and
gnome-settings-daemon. We'll need to see if we can address those.
GObject has previously allowed installing properties after class_init
has finished running. This means that you could install some of your
own properties on G_TYPE_OBJECT, for example, although they wouldn't
have worked properly.
Prevent this from happening. Require that all properties are installed by
the time class_init has finished.

Transparent access to a weak pointer from the thread performing the

We were previously preventing implementations of an interface from
specifying G_PARAM_CONSTRUCT for a property of that interface if the
interface didn't specify it itself (or was readonly).
This is something that should only interest the implementation, so we
remove this restriction.
This allows 6 new possible override scenarios:
- writable -> writable/construct
- writable -> readwrite/construct
- readwrite -> readwrite/construct
- writable/construct-only -> writable/construct
- writable/construct-only -> readwrite/construct
- readwrite/construct-only -> readwrite/construct
and we update the testcase to reflect this.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=666616
Change the order of the checks so that we hear about the 'biggest'
problem first. Also, stop reporting problems after we report the first
one for a particular property.
Add some comments.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=666616
The property override typecheck was meant to enforce the type on the
overriding property being exactly equal to the type on the interface
property. Instead, g_type_is_a() was incorrectly used.
We could try to enforce equality, but if a property is read-only then it
should be possible for the implementation to type the property with any
subtype of the type specified on the interface (because returning a more
specific type will still satisfy the interface). Likewise, if the
property is write-only then it should be possible for the implementation
to type the property with any supertype.
We implement the check this way.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=666616
Simplify some of the logic in this function.
1) Simplify flag checks as per Colin's suggestions in
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=605667
2) Don't repeatedly recheck if class_pspec is NULL.
GObject enforces the following restrictions on property overrides:
- must only add abilities: if the parent class supports
readability/writability then the subclass must also support them.
Subclasses are free to add readability/writability.
- must not add additional restrictions: if the parent class doesn't
have construct/construct-only restrictions then the subclass must
not add them. Subclasses are free to remove restrictions.
The problem with the previous implementation is that the check against
adding construct/construct-only restrictions was being done even if the
property was not previously writable. As an example:
"readable" and "writable only on construct"
was considered as being more restrictive than
"read only".
This patch tweaks the check to allow the addition of
construct/construct-only restrictions for properties that were
previously read-only and are now being made writable.

Either g_type_register_static_simple (used by G_DEFINE_TYPE_EXTENDED)
and G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE use automatic variables for GTypeInfo and

static variables. This commit consistently adopts the former method.

When the 'conditional' parameter is TRUE, the queue will only be frozen
(ie: have its freeze count increase by one) if it is already frozen.
This will allow us to avoid a freeze-notify-thaw in the case that we
just want to notify on a single property.
Another approach may have been to add an is_frozen() type call and avoid
even increasing the freeze count at all in this case. Unfortunately,
I'm not totally sure what is the exact expected semantics of
simultaneous notifications in multiple threads and this may interact
badly with someone freezing or thawing in between our check and
emission.
Lift the check-if-READABLE and redirect-target logic from out of
g_object_notify_queue_add() into its own function, get_notify_pspec().
Use that function at the site of our two calls to
g_object_notify_queue_add().
This was done as a separate file before, and #include brought it into
gobject.c. That's a bit mad, so stop doing that.
Unfortunately, the insanity steps up a level: gobjectnotifyqueue.c is
installed in the public include dir, so we can't just get rid of it
entirely.
Similar to G_PARAM_DEPRECATED. It will warn only for users of the
signals, so a signal can still be emited without warning, for
compatibility reasons.
Apparently, there is no way user flags could have been used before,
so that shouldn't break anyone.

Some links were broken due to typos, because functionality was removed
in GLib 2.0 or for various other reasons. Fix up as many of them as is
reasonable.
- remove all inline assembly versions
- implement the atomic operations using either GCC intrinsics, the
Windows interlocked API or a mutex-based fallback
- drop gatomic-gcc.c since these are now defined in the header file.
Adjust Makefile.am accordingly.
- expand the set of operations: support 'get', 'set', 'compare and
exchange', 'add', 'or', and 'xor' for both integers and pointers
- deprecate g_atomic_int_exchange_and_add since g_atomic_int_add (as
with all the new arithmetic operations) now returns the prior value
- unify the use of macros: all functions are now wrapped in macros that
perform the proper casts and checks
- remove G_GNUC_MAY_ALIAS use; it was never required for the integer
operations (since casting between pointers that only vary in
signedness of the target is explicitly permitted) and we avoid the
need for the pointer operations by using simple 'void *' instead of
'gpointer *' (which caused the 'type-punned pointer' warning)
- provide function implementations of g_atomic_int_inc and
g_atomic_int_dec_and_test: these were strictly macros before
- improve the documentation to make it very clear exactly which types
of pointers these operations may be used with
- remove a few uses of the now-deprecated g_atomic_int_exchange_and_add
- drop initialisation of gatomic from gthread (by using a GStaticMutex
instead of a GMutex)
- update glib.symbols and documentation sections files
Closes#650823 and #650935
I couldn't tell from reading the documentation whether I had to pass in
an uninitialized value, or a value initialized to the exact type, or
something else. It turns out (from reading the source) that you have to
pass in an initialized value, but you can use any type to which the
property's actual type can be transformed.
So, let's document this.
The code section guarded with toggle_refs_mutex includes a call to
g_object_unref(), which may call toggle_refs_notify(). As the latter
tries to acquire the same mutex, glib locks up.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=632884
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.

This should fix bug #628952.
Don't include glib/gdatasetprivate.h directly. Especially don't define
GLIB_COMPILATION when doing that, as that causes breakage on Windows
because of the variable dllimport/dllexport stuff in gtypes.h that
checks GLIB_COMPILATION. That macro really should be defined only when
compiling code that goes into the libglib DLL. Otherwise the compiler
thinks that variables that should be imported from libglib are
actually defined in the code being compiled.
Just call g_atomic_pointer_get() as such, don't bother with
G_DATALIST_GET_FLAGS.
Signed-off-by: Tor Lillqvist <tml@iki.fi>
The gdatasetprivate.h header includes gatomic.h directly. It all works
well in GLib, but inside GObject it will trigger the single inclusion
guard.
Since this is a private header, and it's kind of a special case, one way
to fix it is to declare GLIB_COMPILATION around it and fool the single
inclusion guard in gatomic.h into thinking we're compiling GLib and not
GObject.
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().

This adds static markers and systemtap tapsets for:
* type creation
* object lifetimes (creation, ref, unref, dispose, finalize)
* signal creation and emission

operation is finished.

This works around the need to take a custom mutex twice and add the
object to a GSList of objects that are currently in construction for the
common case. Only when the constructor is overwritten do we use the
previous behavior and allow things like singleton objects.
The only slightly incompatible change is that previously, it was ok to
call g_object_set() on construct-only properties while the object was
initialized. This will now fail. If that behavior is needed, setting a
custom constructor that just chains up will reenable this functionality.

* glib/gdataset.[ch] glib/gdatasetprivate.h: Add
g_datalist_set/unset_flags(), g_datalist_get_flags() functions

Add a test case for weak and toggle references.
* glib/gfileutils.[ch]: Rename g_file_replace() back

Make PLT-reduction work with gcc4, and don't include
everything in gobjectalias.h:
* gobject.symbols: Group symbols by header and source
file.

preprocessor symbols used to guard the headers. Move
the alias declarations to a separate file which is
produced when calling makegalias.pl -def

build this file.
* *.c: Include gobjectalias.h after the other i
GLib headers, include gobjectaliasdef.c at the bottom.

static types only.
* gobject.c:
(g_object_do_class_init): make ::notify a run-action signal.

* gparamspecs.[ch]: Add a new GParamSpecOverride type
that is a pointer to a different paramspec in a parent
class or interface.

g_object_interface_install_property,
g_object_interface_find_property,
g_object_interface_list_properties(). Redirect virtually all

Sun Mar 3 04:11:58 2002 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* gobject.c: placed a comment about not changing CArray until we have
g_object_list_watched_closures().
* gparam.h (struct _GParamSpecClass): added padding.
* gobjectnotifyqueue.c (struct _GObjectNotifyQueue): abuse
g_list_alloc() to allocate GObjectNotifyQueue to et rid
of locking issues.
Wed Feb 20 22:55:15 2002 Owen Taylor <otaylor@redhat.com>
* gobject.c: Fix implicit conversions between void * and

Mon Sep 10 20:31:37 2001 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* gobject.[hc]: removed extraneous GObject* returns from a
couple functions that are very unlikely to be used in nested.
changed gpointer->GObject* for a couple return values/arguments.
this fixes#50206.
2001-08-17 James Henstridge <james@daa.com.au>
* gobject.c (WeakRefStack): add an object member to the structure.
(weak_refs_notify): pass wstack->object as extra argument to
notify functions.
(g_object_weak_ref): set wstack->object when initialising

Mon Jul 2 07:17:47 2001 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* gobject.c (g_object_weak_ref):
(g_object_watch_closure): congrats tim, introducing of-by-one
errors like on my very first day of C programming.
Sat Jun 30 23:14:32 2001 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* glib/glist.[hc]: added g_list_insert_before().
* glib/gslist.c (g_slist_insert_before): provide an implementation,
prototype was already present...
Sat Jun 30 11:07:00 2001 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* gobject.[hc]: provide weak_ref/weak_unref functions,
invoked from ->dispose. renamed ->shutdown() to ->dispose(),
provide "public" API entry here: g_object_run_dispose(), this
fucntion should _only_ be called from object system implementations
(e.g. gtkobject.c) if at all.
* gtypemodule.c (g_type_module_dispose): s/shutdown/dispose/
* gsignal.h: removed compat aliases.
* gobject.c (g_object_connect): support data objects.
Thu Jun 28 16:57:44 2001 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* configure.in (GLIB_MICRO_VERSION): up version number to 1.3.7,
interface age 0, binary age 0.
Thu Jun 28 16:42:49 2001 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* gsignal.c (g_signal_lookup):
(g_signal_list_ids): give elaborate warnings about invalid types,
non-instantiatable types and unloaded types that we can't operate on.
* gparam.[hc]: g_param_spec_pool_belongings() ->
g_param_spec_pool_list_owned().
* gsignal.[hc]: renamed:
g_signal_newc -> g_signal_new
g_signal_disconnect_by_func -> g_signal_handlers_disconnect_by_func
g_signal_block_by_func -> g_signal_handlers_block_by_func
g_signal_unblock_by_func -> g_signal_handlers_unblock_by_func
added GConnectType to simplify (..gboolean swapped, gboolean after)
args.
* gobject.[hc]: changed prototypes accordingly.
Mon Jun 11 17:07:06 2001 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* gboxed.[hc]: remove left-over usages of an anonymous GBoxed typedef.
* gobjectnotifyqueue.c: moved property notify queue implementation
bits into this function.
* gparam.[hc]: added g_param_spec_pool_belongings(), completed
g_param_spec_pool_list(). added GParameter for _setv() functions.
* gobject.[hc]: use gobjectnotifyqueue.h implementation now.
got rid of properties_changed signal.
new functions g_object_newv(), g_object_class_list_properties().
removed "properties_changed" signal.
* gtype.[hc]: added g_type_depth() to figure number of parent
types + 1 for a type.
* gsignal.h: add g_signal_connect() (as per owen's request) and
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).
Thu May 3 06:10:23 2001 Owen Taylor <otaylor@redhat.com>
* gobject.c (g_object_set_[q]data_full): Make types of ternary
operator correspond. (Fixes compilation errors with Sun CC,
#52230)
2001-04-19 Havoc Pennington <hp@redhat.com>
* gobject.c (g_object_get_valist): We were returning junk memory
here, because we didn't copy the value (G_VALUE_NOCOPY_CONTENTS
passed to G_VALUE_LCOPY) and then we freed the GValue immediately
after. Removed G_VALUE_NOCOPY_CONTENTS from here; need a
G_VALUE_STEAL_CONTENTS or the like if we want this optimization.
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.
Fri Mar 9 18:01:43 2001 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* gscanner.[hc]: made config arg to g_scanner_new() const.
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.
Thu Mar 8 16:23:34 2001 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* ghook.[hc]: destruction cleanup. there's one
->finalize_hook member in the hooklist now that gets
called when a hook should be destroyed, that's it.
that function is guarranteed to be called only when
all ref_counts to the hook vanished, thus also when
the hook is not in call.
Thu Mar 8 16:35:48 2001 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* gparamspecs.[hc]: s/g_param_spec_string_c/g_param_spec_stringc/.
* gsignal.[hc]: fixed accumulator invocation, implemented emission
hooks. and no, neither of these callbacks are called via a closure,
language bindings can wrap the accumulator and emission hook
interface, they already get parameters marshalled into a GValue array.
(g_signal_connect): removed this function as its C specific, doesn't
cover the swapped argument, is too close to its broken original
gtk_signal_connect() and creates demand for _swapped, _after and
_swapped_after variants <brrr>.
(g_signal_connectc): convenience macro to connect a C handler
func with data, like the old g_signal_connect() plus swapped
argument.
* gtype.h:
* gboxed.c: added G_TYPE_VALUE boxed type.
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.
Sun Feb 4 07:38:32 2001 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* docs/debugging.txt: s/glib_trap_/g_trap_/. add comments on
g_trap_instance_signals, g_trace_instance_signals and
GRUNTIME_DEBUG.
* gmem.c: s/glib_trap_/g_trap_/.
Sun Feb 4 07:30:53 2001 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* gtype.[hc]: changed g_type_init() to take debugging flags
initially, a combination of G_TYPE_DEBUG_OBJECTS and
G_TYPE_DEBUG_SIGNALS. using the G_TYPE_ prefix is a bit odd
here, but basically g_type_int() serves as initialization
fucntion for all of GType, GObject, GSignal, so what the heck.
* gobject.c: special case debugging code properly.
changed glib_trap_object_ref to g_trap_object_ref.
* gsignal.c: add signal emission debugging abilities, along with
a new trap object g_trap_instance_signals.
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.
Thu Dec 28 10:21:46 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* gmem.[hc]: got rid of outdated dmalloc support. provide g_try_malloc()
and g_try_realloc() which _may_ fail and return NULL.
nuked g_mem_check(), provided GMemVTable for memory function
virtualization, alterable at program startup with g_mem_set_vtable().
provided glib_mem_profiler_table and g_mem_profile() to support limited
profiling information out of the box (uses mprotect() for free()ed areas
on linux).
provide globally visible G_MEM_ALIGN.
buncha cleanups.
* docs/macros.txt: file to get a clue about the various configuration
macros.
* docs/debugging.txt: explain debugging traps.
* configure.in: got rid of --enable-mem-check and --enable-mem-profile,
define GLIB_SIZEOF_VOID_P and GLIB_SIZEOF_LONG. check malloc prototypes
and define SANE_MALLOC_PROTOS is we can use them.
<boy, is this file a mess>
* gutils.c, gscanner.c: fix up compatibility warnings, use g_message().
Thu Dec 28 11:36:44 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* gbsearcharray.c (upper_power2): disable G_BSEARCH_ALIGN_POWER2
fucntionality if DISABLE_MEM_POOLS is defined.

G_BSEARCH_ALIGN_POWER2 to avoid excessive growth time. honour
DISABLE_MEM_POOLS.

* gboxed.c: fixed dealing with collection/lcopy of NULL values.
* gclosure.h: removed insane ramblings, added G_CALLBACK() a casting
convenience macro.

* 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.
(g_object_steal_data):

(g_object_set_data):
(g_object_get_data): set/get data by using g_datalist_*() functions
directly.

(g_object_freeze_notify): start queueing of property changes (freeze/
thaw calls stack).
(g_object_notify): announce changes of a certain property directly.
(g_object_thaw_notify): process queue of property changes, therefore
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.

(g_signal_emit_by_name): same as g_signal_emit, working from
signal name+detail.
(signal_emit_R): return whether return_value needs to be altered.
* gtype.[hc]: set log-domain to GRuntime, i'm slowly getting to all
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.
* gvalue.[hc]: implemented g_value_set_instance() that sets a value
from an instantiatable type via the value_table's collect_value()
function (based on an idea from James Henstridge <james@daa.com.au>).
cleanups/fixes.
* gvaluetypes.[hc]: implement G_TYPE_CCALLBACK and G_TYPE_PARAM.

* gsignal.c:
fixed a bag full of subtle bugs of immensive screw-up potential in
handlers_find(), luckily no one found out about them yet ;)
fixed signal_handlers_foreach_matched_R() so it operates on an
initial handler list snapshot provided by handlers_find() to work
around general reentrancy problems and to avoid multiple callback()
invocations on the same handlers.
this code is now officially 80% bug free (10% remaining for interface
types, and 10% remaining for destroyed signals ;)

* gsignal.c (_g_signals_destroy): valid signal nodes start out at 1.
* gtypeplugin.[hc]: new files holding a GTypePlugin interface
implementation that provides the API required by GType to deal with
dynamically loadable types.
* gtype.[hc]: displace any GTypePlugin business to gtypeplugin.h.
