* NEWS: updated
* Makefile.am: added snapcheck target to go along with snapshot
* gstring.c glib.h (g_string_hash): Add g_string_hash to
go along with g_string_equal.
Tue Jun 27 12:40:23 EDT 2000 David A. Wheeler <dwheeler@dwheeler.com>
* glib.h: Added g_string_equal for comparing GStrings;
changed g_str_equal so it returns gboolean (instead of gint).
* gstring.c: Modified GString implementation to support embedded
ASCII NUL ('\0') characters, and implemented g_string_equal.
* testglib.c tests/string-test.c: Added tests for g_string_equal
and tests for proper handling of embedded ASCII NUL characters.
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.
Wed Jun 21 12:09:03 2000 Owen Taylor <otaylor@redhat.com>
* gunicode.h gutf8.c guniprop.c gunidecomp.[ch] gunichartables.h
Makefile.am glib.h: Initial pass at adding unicode support
functions. A few things still need to be implemented, a bit
of cleanup needs to be done, tests need to be added, and
the docs need to be finished, but this should allow replacing
most or all use of libunicode.
2000-06-06 Tor Lillqvist <tml@iki.fi>
* giowin32.c (g_io_channel_win32_pipe_readable): If we are
watching the same fd several times (for different conditions, with
different callbacks), check them all. Only call the callback for
G_IO_IN from here. (This bug popped up when a watch for
G_IO_ERR|G_IO_HUP was added to gimplib.)
2000-05-30 Tor Lillqvist <tml@iki.fi>
* gutils.c (g_locale_get_codeset): Implement on Win32.
* glib.def: Add g_get_codeset.
* tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): makefile.cygwin* has been
renamed to makefile.mingw*.
Tue May 30 16:01:32 2000 Owen Taylor <otaylor@redhat.com>
* glib.h gutils.c: Move the g_locale_get_codeset() up in the
header file to correspond to to comments about memory
management. Rename to g_get_codeset() to avoid
polluting the g_locale_* namespace, which probably
would have g_locale_get_codeset (GLocale *locale).
Add a doc comment.
Mon May 29 14:10:35 2000 Owen Taylor <otaylor@redhat.com>
* gutils.c (g_locale_get_codeset): Add function to get the
codeset name for the current locale.
* configure.in acconfig.h: Add check for nl_langinfo(CODESET);
2000-05-13 Tor Lillqvist <tml@iki.fi>
* makefile.mingw.in
* tests/makefile.mingw.in
* build-dll: Rename makefile.cygwin(.in) to
makefile.mingw(.in), which better describes what it is. Move the
build of gmodule, gthread and gobject DLLs to makefiles in those
directories. Move resource file handling and build number bump to
build-dll, where it sits much cleaner.
* README.win32
* Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Update accordingly.
* glib.h: Add G_PI, G_PI_2, G_PI_4, G_E, G_LN2, G_LN10 and
G_SQRT2. M_PI etc aren't necessarily in <math.h> in strict ISO C
implementations.
* glib.def: Add g_strcanon.
* gtree.c (g_tree_node_rotate_left): Remove unused variables.
* gwin32.c (g_win32_opendir): Remove unneeded statement.
gmodule:
* makefile.mingw.in: New file, with gmodule stuff
moved from ../makefile.mingw.in.
* Makefile.am: Add to EXTRA_DIST, and add rule to make makefile.mingw.
gobject:
* makefile.mingw.in
* gobject.def
* gobject.rc.in: New files, for Win32 (mingw) build.
* Makefile.am: Add to EXTRA_DIST. Add rules to produce the
corresponding non-*.in files.
* gtype.h: (Win32:) Mark _g_type_fundamental_last for
export/import from DLL.
gthread:
* makefile.mingw.in: New file, with gthread stuff moved from
../makefile.mingw.in.
* Makefile.am: Add to EXTRA_DIST, add rule to build makefile.mingw.
Fri Apr 28 23:54:35 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* setup things for a new sub-library libgobject:
* Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): added gobject
* glib-config.in: feature -lgobject.
* configure.in (AC_OUTPUT): generate gobject/Makefile.
* glib.m4 (AM_PATH_GLIB): feature gobject module.
* glib.spec.in: added %{prefix}/lib/libgobject-1.3.so.*
Fri Apr 28 21:41:49 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* glib.h: added G_STRLOC macro.
G_STRUCT_OFFSET(): signedness corrections.
(G_CSET_DIGITS): list 0-9.
* gscanner.c (g_scanner_config_template): use G_CSET_DIGITS.
* glib.h:
* gstrfuncs.c:
(g_strdown):
(g_strup):
(g_strreverse): return the modified string instead of void, so
calls to these functions can be nested.
(g_strcanon): new function, canonicalizes string according to
a given character set.
Fri Apr 28 19:45:16 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* gasyncqueue.c (g_async_queue_unref): get rid of an unused variable.
2000-05-04 Tor Lillqvist <tml@iki.fi>
* makefile.cygwin.in
* tests/makefile.cygwin.in: Include the common makefile snippet
from ../build/win32.
Maybe CVSROOT/modules should be changed so that the 'build' module
is included within the glib module (and gtk+, and gimp, and maybe
others later), in the same way as the 'macros' module is included
in lots of GNOME CVS modules?
2000-05-02 Tor Lillqvist <tml@iki.fi>
* glib.def: Add new functions.
* makefile.{cygwin,msc}.in (glib_OBJECTS): Add new object files.
* tests/makefile.{cygwin,msc}.in: Add threadpool-test.
* gmodule-win32.c: No need to include <psapi.h>
2000-04-28 Sebastian Wilhelmi <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>
* gasyncqueue.c: New File implementing an asynchronous queue to be
used for asynchronous inter-thread communication.
* gthreadpool.c: New File implementing a thread pool to be used
for distributing work among several threads.
* glib.h: Added the type and function declarations for these two
types.
* tests/threadpool-test.c: New File implementing a test for the
thread pool. This also checks the asynchronous queue underlying
the thread pool.
* tests/Makefile.am: Changed accordingly.
2000-04-26 Sebastian Wilhelmi <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>
* configure.in: Look for both pthread_create and pthread_join in
the thread library. Some systems define one of them, but not both
in libc. Arghh. Now we really start a thread and join it later and
check, whether the thread to actually ran.
2000-04-26 Sebastian Wilhelmi <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>
* glib.h, gcache.c, gtree.c: Changed the 'value' parameter of
g_cache_remove from gpointer to gconstpointer. Dito for the 'key'
parameter of g_tree_lookup and g_tree_remove and the 'data'
parameter of g_tree_serach. This function now takes a function of
type GCompareFunc instead of GSearchFunc.
* glib.h: Removed declaration of GSearchFunc.
* gmem.c: s/GSearchFunc/GCompareFunc/.
2000-04-19 Sebastian Wilhelmi <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>
* glib.h (G_TRYLOCK): Made the debugging G_TRYLOCK call also work
for compilers with funnt G_STMT_(START|END) macros.
* tests/thread-test.c: Implemented a check for that.
2000-04-19 Sebastian Wilhelmi <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>
* gutils.c (g_getenv): Changed the win32 part of this function to
be thread safe and to make the returned environment string
persistent to match the UN*X behavior. This is again a response to
Bug #8983.
* glib.h (G_LOCK_NAME): Removed parentheses around the lock name,
as that seems to cause problems for some compilers and really
isn't necessary.
Wed Apr 19 08:32:32 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* gscanner.c (g_scanner_new): make sure that
scanner->config->cset_skip_characters is "" instead of NULL, so we
don't segfault further on.
2000-04-18 Sebastian Wilhelmi <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>
* glib.h, glist.h, gslist.h: Changed the 'data' parameters from
gpointer to gconstpointer for the functions
g_(list|slist)_(remove|find|find_custom|index), as they do not
change this parameter. This fixes bug #4836.
2000-04-18 Sebastian Wilhelmi <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>
* glib.h: Changed comment for g_getenv to reflect, that the
returned memory must not be freed. Fixes Bug #8983.
2000-04-17 Sebastian Wilhelmi <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>
* configure.in, acconfig.h: Add configure test for garbage
collector friendliness for GLib. If enabled, ENABLE_GC_FRIENDLY
will be defined.
* garray.c, ghash.c, glist.c, gmain.c, gmem.c, gnode.c, gqueue.c,
gslist.c, gtree.c: If ENABLE_GC_FRIENDLY is defined, NULLify all
memory released by the user, but cached by GLib. This lets a
garbage collector have a more correct view of the actually used
memory.
2000-04-17 Sebastian Wilhelmi <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>
* garray.c, glib.h: Added g_(array|ptr_array|byte_array)_sized_new
functions, that reserve a certain amount of memeory for the array
at creation time to avoid reallocation. Fixes bug #6707 from
Charles Kerr <ckerr@osserver1.nssl.noaa.gov>.
2000-03-26 Tor Lillqvist <tml@iki.fi>
* README.win32: Tell about using the mingw-based gcc, which is
much easier than modifying the cygwin gcc to product mingw code
for the msvcrt runtime.
* makefile.cygwin.in (WIN32APIHEADERS): Kludge to make it work
with a "pure" mingw gcc, too.
2000-03-24 Sebastian Wilhelmi <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>
* garray.c: Made GArray behave correct. Now zero_terminated really
means, that the element array->data[array->len] exists and is
zeroed, and clear means that any unassigned elements obtained
through g_array_set_size (the only way to get unassigned elements
AFAICT) are zeroed. Added some macors to mak the code more
obvoius. Also made GPtrArray zero elements after
g_ptr_array_set_size. This is done in a portbale way (assignment
of NULL instead of just memsetting it to zero), though that might
be more portability than we actually want.
2000-03-24 Sebastian Wilhelmi <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>
* Makefile.am, gthread/Makefile.am, gmodule/Makefile.am,
tests/Makefile.am: Added various win32 related *.in files to
EXTRA_DIST to let 'make distcheck' procude all the corresponding
files, which it silently fails to do currently.
2000-03-23 Sebastian Wilhelmi <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>
* configure.in: After finding the right thread library (containing
e.g. pthread_create) we now search for the right realtime library
(containing e.g. sched_get_priority_max). Makes the output of the
thread related libraries correct.
* gtimer.c (g_usleep): The current implementation of g_usleep
(simply calling select) doesn't work reliable for multi-threaded
programs on some platforms (bad omen for the main loop....), so I
changed the implementation for thread-using programs to wait for a
GCond for the specified amount of time (NB: sleep and usleep are
not MT-safe in general, because they often use signals).
2000-03-22 Tor Lillqvist <tml@iki.fi>
* gutils.c: Move Win32-only includes after inclusion of glib.h, so
that G_OS_WIN32 is defined.
* glibconfig.h.win32.in: Add GSystemThread.
2000-03-22 Sebastian Wilhelmi <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>
* gutils.c (g_get_current_dir): Ok, Marcus Brinkmann
<Marcus.Brinkmann@ruhr-uni-bochum.de> convinced me, that 128 KB
path length might not be enough for the HURD. So I changed the
loop to at least avoid an integer overflow, which could happen at
beyond 2GB size ;-)
2000-03-22 Sebastian Wilhelmi <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>
* configure.in: Test for sched_yield as the native yield function
first. Corrected typo g_thread_sleep -> g_usleep. Corrected
message for the pthread_create test. Negative Priorities are
allowed (and used on Solaris), so consider
sched_get_priority_min failed only if it returns -1, not <0. Check
for sched_get_priority_min also in -lrt, if not found in -lpthread
alone and add -lrt to G_THREAD_LIBS then. Remove special case
handling of priorities for older solaris versions and posix
threads. Thanks to Wan-Teh Chang <wtc@netscape.com> for suggesting
some of those changes.
* config.guess, config.sub, ltconfig, ltmain.sh:
Upgrade to libtool 1.3.4.
2000-03-21 Sebastian Wilhelmi <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>
* glib.h, configure.in, gutils.h: always define G_GNUC_EXTENSION,
even when not needed by GLib. That's actually also the way, the
GLib reference manual describes that macro. Therefore I had to
remove the lonesome #include <glibconfig.h> in gutils.c, which
doesn't seem to be needed there however. This change should make
Ben Gertzfield <che@debian.org> happy.
* gutils.c: Furthermore two warnings in gutils.c were voided,
which crept in due to my last change.
2000-03-21 Sebastian Wilhelmi <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>
* gutils.c (g_get_current_dir): Allocate only up to 128KB for a
pathname. While this is an arbitrary value just like 2048, it
seems to be enough (after all, even 4GB is an arbitrary value).
2000-03-20 Sebastian Wilhelmi <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>
* gmain.c (g_main_poll): Warn in case of an error during the call
to poll(2). Closes Bug#7564 as reported by David Helder
<dhelder@umich.edu>.
2000-03-20 Sebastian Wilhelmi <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>
* gutils.c (g_get_current_dir): Make g_get_current_dir work on
systems with unlimited pathname length like the HURD (It worked
there before, but only for pathes shorter than 2048). Closes
Bug#4525 as reported by Marcus Brinkmann
<Marcus.Brinkmann@ruhr-uni-bochum.de>.
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.
2000-03-13 Sebastian Wilhelmi <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>
* gqueue.c (g_queue_push_tail_link, g_queue_push_head_link): We
want the next and prev pointer of the inserted link to be NULL.
2000-03-04 Tor Lillqvist <tml@iki.fi>
* gwin32.c (g_win32_error_message): New function that returns the
message string for a Win32 error code.
* glib.h: Declare it.
* glib.def: Export it, plus g_node_copy.
* gmodule-win32.c: Call g_win32_error_message() to get the error
message strings.
* libgplugin_a.c
* libgplugin_b.c
* gmodule.c: Remove LibMain functions that were needed by LCC,
which is not a supported compiler.
* testgmodule.c (main): Test for G_MODULE_IMPL ==
G_MODULE_IMPL_WIN32, not G_OS_WIN32.
* gmoduleconf.h.win32: Remove LCC stuff from here, too.
2000-03-03 Sebastian Wilhelmi <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>
* configure.in: Make the search for pthread_attr_... prototypes
find names at the start of a line also, like it is on AIX. Thanks
to Valdis Kletnieks <Valdis.Kletnieks@vt.edu> for the info.
