of the reference manual.
* docs/reference/glib/cross.sgml: MinGW uses MSVCRT.DLL which
requires %I64i instead of %lli. (#161306)

* glib/gconvert.[hc]:
* glib/gfileutils.[hc]:

2004-10-23 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>

2004-09-20 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
* glib/tmpl/messages.sgml: Correct the docs for the default log

Mon Mar 1 15:39:57 2004 Owen Taylor <otaylor@redhat.com>
Patch from J. Ali Harlow
* configure.in: Use void * not HANDLE for GPid on win32.
* glib/gspawn.[ch] glib/gspawn-win32.[ch] glib/glib.def:
Add g_spawn_close_pid().
* glib/gspawn.[ch]: Make g_spawn functions take
GPid * instead if int * (GPid == int on unix, will
produce compile warnings until fixed on Win32.)
* tests/child-test.c: Make the test a little more
inappropriately verbose.
* glib/gmain.c: Add some documentation warnings about
not closing @pid while the source is active.
2004-02-29 Sebastian Wilhelmi <seppi@seppi.de>
* configure.in, glib/gatomic.c, glib/gatomic.h: Moved the
assembler functions from gatomic.h to gatomic.c, which makes for
better maintainability. Also use gint instead of gint32 to be able
to use reference counting for ABI-fixed structures with
gint/guint.
* glib/gthread.h: Adapted accordingly.
* tests/atomic-test.c: Updated to test for G_MAXINT and G_MININT.
* glib/glib-overrides.txt, glib/glib-sections.txt,
glib/tmpl/atomic_operations.sgml: Updated according to code changes.
2004-02-26 Sebastian Wilhelmi <seppi@seppi.de>
* configure.in, config.h.win32.in, glib/gthread.c: Removed the PID
niceness surrogate for thread priorities as requested by Tim. It
does more harm than good.
* glib/tmpl/threads.sgml: Updated to reflect removal of the PID
niceness surrogate for thread priorities.
2004-02-26 Sebastian Wilhelmi <seppi@seppi.de>
* glib/gatomic.c, glib/gatomic.h: New files to implement atomic
operations for different platforms. Fixes bug #63621.
* glib/glib.h: Include gatomic.h.
* configure.in: Add test for assembler routines for atomic operations.
* glib/Makefile.am: Add gatomic.c, gatomic.h.
* tests/Makefile.am, tests/atomic-test.c: Unit test for atomic
operations.
* glib/glib-overrides.txt, glib/glib-sections.txt,
glib/glib-docs.sgml, glib/tmpl/atomic_operations.sgml: Add docs
for atomic operations.
Sun Feb 22 00:47:04 2004 Matthias Clasen <maclas@gmx.de>
* glib/gnode.c (g_node_copy_deep): New function to deep-copy a
GNode and its children. (#93464, James M. Cape)
Fri Feb 20 02:39:03 2004 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* applied patch from David Schleef <ds@schleef.org> which implements
a G_MODULE_BIND_LOCAL flag to g_module_open() to disable global
symbol registration.
Thu Feb 19 18:40:01 2004 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* glib/gstring.[hc]: for G_CAN_INLINE environments, inline
g_string_append_c() for efficiency. (vaguely based on #118707).
Sat Feb 14 01:21:34 2004 Matthias Clasen <maclas@gmx.de>
* glib/gmain.h:
* glib/gmain.c (g_child_watch_source_new):
* glib/gmain.c (g_child_watch_add):
* glib/gmain.c (g_child_watch_add_full): Wrap waitpid() as a
GSource. This is a partial implementation of the "Unix signal
source". (#50296, Jonathan R. Blandford)
* configure.in: Add the necessary configury to typedef GPid
appropriately.
* tests/Makefile.am:
* tests/child-test.c: Test child_watch sources.
Thu Feb 5 00:56:28 2004 Matthias Clasen <maclas@gmx.de>
* glib/gcompletion.c (g_completion_complete_utf8): New function which
works like g_completion_complete(), but strips a trailing incomplete
UTF-8 character from the prefix. (#133313, Theppitak Karoonboonyanan)
* tests/completion-test.c (main): Some GCompletion tests.
* tests/Makefile.am: Add completion-test.
Tue Feb 3 21:24:01 2004 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* gtype.h (_G_TYPE_CVH): provide a short-cut version for
this macro in case value->g_type==checked_type for gcc, similar
to instance and class check short-cuts. this speeds up code that
makes frequent use of G_VALUE_HOLDS_*() (e.g. setters/getters).
* gtype.c (type_data_last_unref_Wm): don't call class-cache functions
for the uncached case, this rendered g_type_class_unref_uncached()
useless. pointed out by Stefan Westerfeld.
