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
2004-04-15 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
* gparamspecs.c (param_float_init): Correct the initial
minimal value to be -G_MAXFLOAT. The initial values were
inconsistant before, with the initial default being smaller
than the inital minimum.
(param_double_init): Correct the initial minimal value
to be -G_MAXDOUBLE.
* glib/tmpl/types.sgml: Correct the description of the
gfloat and gdouble ranges.
Tue Oct 14 17:40:19 2003 Owen Taylor <otaylor@redhat.com>
* gparamspecs.[ch]: Add a new GParamSpecOverride type
that is a pointer to a different paramspec in a parent
class or interface.
* gparam.[ch]: Add g_paramspec_get_redirect_target()
which follows GParamSpecOverride to the real property.
Make g_param_spec_pool_list() hand redirections,
properties on interfaces.
* gobject.[ch] gobjectnotifyqueue.c: Add
g_object_interface_install_property,
g_object_interface_find_property,
g_object_interface_list_properties(). Redirect virtually all
publically exposed GParamSpec's to the redirect target if
any. (->constructor is the exception.)
(#105894)
Sun Feb 17 11:37:06 2002 Owen Taylor <otaylor@redhat.com>
* 1.3.14
* glib/glibintl.h: Error out of config.h wasn't included
rather than including it, since config.h must be the
first thing included.
* glib/gconvert.c glib/gmarkup.c glib/gshell.c glib/gspawn.c
glib/gunibreak.c glib/gunidecomp.c glib/guniprop.c:
Include config.h as the first thing. (#71704, Morten
Welinder)
Fri Jan 11 12:26:36 2002 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* gparamspecs.c: fixed param_value_array_values_cmp(),
param_value_array_validate() and
param_value_array_set_default() to deal with NULL value
arrays.
Wed Nov 21 17:23:33 2001 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* gparamspecs.[hc]: put newly created param spec types into a
global array.
* gboxed.[hc]: moved boxed types with _get_type() function here,
for: G_TYPE_CLOSURE, G_TYPE_VALUE, G_TYPE_VALUE_ARRAY,
G_TYPE_GSTRING.
* gtype.h: removed fundamental branch APIs and derived enum
values.
Tue Nov 13 23:18:10 2001 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* gsignal.[hc]: add API for chaining:
g_signal_chain_from_overridden() and g_signal_override_class_closure(),
implementation yet to come.
* gtype.[hc], Makefile.am: provide G_LOG_DOMAIN as compile flag.
* gparam.[hc]: s/g_param_get/g_param_spec_get/ for get_nick,
get_name and get_blurb, to be consistent with the rest of the
g_param_spec_*() functions.
* gparamspecs.[hc]: got rid of bogus GClosure paramspec.
G_TYPE_CLOSURE is a boxed type already.
* glib-genmarshal.c gparamspecs.[ch] gtype.[ch] gvalue.h
gvaluecollector.h gvaluetypes.[ch]: Fill in missing support for
gint64 & guint64 (#59254).
* Unconditionalize same (compile with or without G_HAVE_INT64).
Wed Oct 3 16:02:24 2001 Owen Taylor <otaylor@redhat.com>
* glib-genmarshal.c gparamspecs.[ch] gvalue.h
gobject/gvaluetypes.[ch]: Add support for G_TYPE_INT64
and storing it in GValue (Patch from Mathieu Lacage, #59254.)
Thu May 10 15:19:01 2001 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* gscanner.c (g_scanner_key_hash): use g_str_hash() algorithm
to generate hashes.
* gmem.c (standard_calloc): free() doesn't return a value
(Mark Murnane).
Thu May 10 14:00:48 2001 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* gparamspecs.[hc]: removed g_param_spec_stringc() in lack of
evidence of public need.
* gsignal.h: added g_signal_disconnect_by_func(),
g_signal_block_by_func() and g_signal_unblock_by_func() convenience
macros as per owen's request.
* gtype.c (SIZEOF_FUNDAMENTAL_INFO): align sizeof (GTypeFundamentalInfo)
to size of longs and pointers.
Sat Mar 31 23:55:58 2001 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* gtype.h:
* gparamspecs.[hc]: applied patch from owen to implement
GParamSpecUnichar.
Fri Mar 30 07:34:02 2001 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* gtype.c (type_iface_retrive_holder_info_Wm):
* gtypeplugin.c (g_type_plugin_complete_interface_info):
* gtypemodule.c (g_type_module_complete_interface_info):
change order of instance_type and interface_type so they match
the g_type_add_interface_*() API.
* gsignal.c (g_signal_emit_valist): always assign C return value
location, people depending on unaltered return values after emissions
that had no handlers to run need to use g_signal_emitv().
* gtype.[hc] (g_type_query): new function to allow querying of
class and object size (semantics like g_signal_query()).
currently the implementation is better held conservative so as to
only support types that are classed and static.
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.
Fri Mar 9 10:14:00 2001 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* gparamspecs.c (g_param_spec_object): use g_type_is_a() to check
for object_type being a G_TYPE_OBJECT, not G_TYPE_IS_OBJECT(), since
that wouldn't allow interface types.
* gtype.c (g_type_interface_add_prerequisite): arg, fixed small cnp bug
with bad implications and an off-by-one error.
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>.
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.
2001-01-05 Havoc Pennington <hp@redhat.com>
* gparamspecs.c (g_param_spec_enum): set the value_type in the
param spec; closes bug 40210
(g_param_spec_flags): ditto for flags
Fri Dec 15 04:40:23 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* gparam.[hc]: add an instance member value_type so the default
value of the pspec class can be overridden.
Mon Dec 11 04:44:11 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* gboxed.c: fixed dealing with collection/lcopy of NULL values.
* gclosure.h: removed insane ramblings, added G_CALLBACK() a casting
convenience macro.
* Makefile.am: cleanups, marshaller generation rules.
* gmarshal.[hc]: new files with GRuntime standard marshallers.
* glib-genmarshal.c: fix log domain, support gruntime standard
marshallers, suport G_TYPE_PARAM, come with extern "C" and
#include gmarshal.h.
* glib-genmarshal.1: reflect glib-genmarshal.c updates.
* 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_full):
(g_object_set_data):
(g_object_get_data): set/get data by using g_datalist_*() functions
directly.
(g_object_queue_param_changed): nuked.
(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.
* gsignal.[hc]: cleanups.
(signal_id_lookup): after walking the anchestry, try interfaces as well.
(g_signal_new): new function to create signals from varargs type list.
(g_signal_connect_closure): closure connection variant that works from
signal name+detail.
(g_signal_connect_data): c handler connection variant that works from
signal name+detail.
(g_signal_emit_valist): emit signal for an instance with paraneters
collected from a va_list.
(g_signal_emit): emit signal, taking parameters from varargs list.
(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.
Tue Oct 24 22:09:14 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* glib-object.h: added newly added gobject/ headers.
* gmesage.c: print g_message() output to stderr instead of stdout.
Wed Oct 25 20:27:02 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* gtype.c (g_type_free_instance): for the moment, freeing object
structures will fill their memory portion with 0xAA. there's a
FIXME there, remove this line at a later point.
Tue Oct 24 23:10:26 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* glib-genmarshal.1:
* glib-genmarshal.c: added publically installed marshaller generator.
* gtype.h: added G_TYPE_INSTANCE_GET_INTERFACE() to retrive a certain
interface VTable from instances.
Mon Oct 23 08:28:15 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* gobject.[hc]: new functions for closure maintenance:
(g_object_watch_closure): maintain validity of the object and
the closure for objects that are used as data part of a closure.
(g_cclosure_new_object): convenience function to create C closures
that have an object as data argument.
(g_closure_new_object): convenience function to create closures
that have an object as data argument.
* gclosure.[hc]: implementation of GClosure mechanism.
a closure is basically an encapsulation of a callback function
and its environment. ideally, most places supporting callback
functions will simply take a GClosure* pointer and thus unify
callback environments wrg destroy notification etc.
GClosure provides destroy notifiers for arbitrary data pointers,
reference counting, invalidation notification (it can be invalidated
which is merely a deactivate state) and a marshallinbg abstraction.
GCClosure is also provided in these files, they present a specialized
GClosure implementation for C language callbacks.
* genum.c: macro cleanups.
* gboxed.[hc]: new files, for boxed type abstraction.
(g_boxed_copy): copy a boxed structure
(g_boxed_free): free a boxed structure
(g_value_set_boxed):
(g_value_get_boxed): standard GValue functions for boxed types
(g_boxed_type_register_static): convenience function for easy
introduction of new G_TYPE_BOXED derivatives.
* gparam.[hc]: introduced g_param_type_register_static(), a short hand
for creation of new GParamSpec derived types.
* gtype.[hc]: many fixes, introduced ability to flag individual
type nodes as ABSTRACT upon registration, added value_peek_pointer()
to the value table to peek at GValue contents as a pointer for types
that support this. fixed up GValue checks.
* gvalue.[hc]: added g_value_fits_pointer() and g_value_get_as_pointer()
to peek at the value contents as pointer.
* *.[hc]: adaptions to type macro fixes and changes in the type
registration API.
* many const corrections over the place.
Sat Oct 21 02:49:56 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* gtype.c (g_type_conforms_to): this function basically behaves like
and is_a check, except that it _additionally_ features interfaces
for instantiatable types. enforce this in the second branch as well
(`type' conforms_to `type') even if `type' is not an interface type.
Fri Oct 20 15:31:04 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* gvaluetypes.[hc]: added G_TYPE_POINTER implementation from jrb.
* gtype.[hc]:
* gobject.c:
* gvaluetypes.c: added GTypeValueTable.value_peek_pointer and
suitable implementations of this for G_TYPE_STRING, G_TYPE_OBJECT
and G_TYPE_POINTER.
Mon Aug 21 04:13:37 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* gbsearcharray.[hc]: long standing needed generic implementation
of a binary searchable, sorted and dynamically sized array.
Fri Jun 23 17:20:26 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* glib.h: define gstring in terms of gchar*. this typedef reflects
the type name of the primitive G_TYPE_STRING in the gobject module.
Sat Jun 24 23:03:04 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* gtype.[hc]: provide G_TYPE_CHAR, G_TYPE_UCHAR, G_TYPE_BOOLEAN,
G_TYPE_INT, G_TYPE_UINT, G_TYPE_LONG, G_TYPE_ULONG, G_TYPE_FLOAT,
G_TYPE_DOUBLE and G_TYPE_STRING fundamental types.
added a GTypeValueTable* pointer to GTypeInfo structure for types
to implement GValue handling functions.
GTypeValueTable contains the following members:
value_init(): initialize a GValue structure.
value_free(): free GValue structure contents (optional).
value_copy(): copy one GValue contents to another GValue structure of
collect_type: varargs collection type for the first variable argument
to be collected by collect_value().
collect_value(): variable arguments collection function (optional).
lcopy_type: varargs collection type for the first variable argument
to be location copyied by lcopy_value().
lcopy_value(): variable arguments location copy function (optional).
g_type_value_table_peek(): new function to retrive the GTypeValueTable*
for a type node. ValueTables get inherited from parent types, unless
overridden through the GTypeInfo structure. internally, GTypeValueTable
support means an added overhead of one pointer per static or used
dynamic type node.
g_type_add_class_cache_func(): provide a cache_func/data pair to be
called prior to a type nodes last_unref() function, this can be used
to prevent premature class destruction. multiple installed cache_func()
will be chained upon last_unref() untill one of them returns TRUE.
the cache_func()s have to check the type id passed in to figure whether
they actually wants to cache the class of this type (since any types are
routed through the cache_func() chain).
g_type_remove_class_cache_func(): remove a previously installed
cache_func/data pair. the cache maintained by this function has to be
clear when calling g_type_remove_class_cache_func() to avoid leaks.
g_type_class_unref_uncached(): class unref function for cache_func()
implementations, unreferences a class omitting the cache chain (and
therefore unref->cache->unref->... loops).
* gvaluetypes.[hc]: provide the value setters/getters for the primitive
fundamental types boolean, char, uchar, int, uint, long, ulong, float,
double and string.
* gvalue.[hc]: provide G_TYPE_IS_VALUE() in terms of whether a
GTypeValueTable is provided for this type.
removed g_value_init_default(), g_value_validate(), g_value_defaults(),
g_value_set_default() and g_values_cmp() as these are supplied by the
GParamSpec API now.
moved g_values_exchange() into the "implementation details" section,
since it just provides the underlying functionality for
g_value_convert().
* gvaluecollector.h: renamed the varargs value container from
GParamCValue to GTypeCValue as the value collection methods are
supplied by the type system now.
G_PARAM_COLLECT_VALUE() and G_PARAM_LCOPY_VALUE() got renamed to
G_VALUE_COLLECT() and G_VALUE_LCOPY() and operate without a
GParamSpec structure now.
* genums.h: macros cleanups/fixes.
* genum.c: provide G_TYPE_ENUM and G_TYPE_FLAGS type
and assorted g_value_{s|g}et_{enum|flags}() implementations.
* gobject.[hc]:
provide G_IS_VALUE_OBJECT(), G_TYPE_OBJECT ValueTable methods
and g_value_{s|g}et_object().
* gparam.[hc]: reduced class to value_set_default(),
value_validate() and values_cmp(). also parameters now need to fill
in a GType value_type; field to indicate the GValue type they
are handling. provide g_param_value_set_default(),
g_param_value_defaults(), g_param_value_validate() and
g_param_values_cmp().
* gparamspecs.[hc]: got rid of the g_value_* functions and
the G_IS_VALUE_* macros. adapted param spec implementations
according to the GParamSpecClass changes.
Fri May 5 01:15:48 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* gtype.h: add reserved fundamental ids for gtk types (for transition
time). added G_TYPE_FUNDAMENTAL_MAX for gtk.
Mon Apr 17 20:45:50 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* glib-gobject.c (g_object_base_class_finalize): oops, don't unset
n_params prior to destructing them.
Tue Apr 11 04:28:10 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* fixed a couple of bugs in the initial parameter/object
implementations, after getting beast running on GObject and GValue.
Fri Apr 7 04:27:49 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* glib-gobject.[hc]: completed parameter set/get implementations,
along with asyncronous parameter changed notification queue.
Sun Apr 2 04:54:36 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* glib-gobject.[hc]: GObject implementation, that is facilities
for setting/getting quarked data and reference counting.
* glib-gparamspecs.[hc]: first actuall parameter implementations
for GLib, so far we have: char, uchar, bool, int, uint, long,
ulong, enum, flags, float, double, string and object. each of these
GParamSpecs is a new instantiatable type in its own respect,
so the .c file derives 13 new types from G_TYPE_PARAM and
defines over 50 (*2) conversion facilities.
* glib-gvaluecollector.h: generic varargs handling stubs for
GParamSpecs, private header file (does get installed for
inclusion into user code though).
* glib-gvalue.[hc]: GValue functionality implementation.
* glib-gparam.[hc]: basis GParamSpec implementation for
the virtual base type G_TYPE_PARAM.
* glib-genums.[hc]: enum/flags type implementation, based on
bseenum.[hc].
* glib-extra.[hc]: GLib additions, including 1.3 compatibility
routines and various other functions, from string manipulation
over list manipulation up to a unix signal GSource.
* glib-gtype.[hc]: GLib Type System implementation, heavily
based on BSE's dynamic type system.
