We previously hold a lock in the loop that collects the arguments for
g_signal_emit(), which we drop before calling into the argument
collection functions and reacquire again at the bottom of the loop (ie:
one release/acquire pair for each argument collected). To make matters
worse, the lock is just released again after the loop.
Presumably that was done to protect the access to the parameter array,
but it's pretty unlikely that this is needed because the only way it
changes is if the signal is unloaded. That only happens when unloading
types which is quite unlikely to happen while we are emitting on an
instance of that type (and, as an aside, never happens anymore anyway).
If we move the unlock below the loop up above it and remove the
acquire/release pair from the loop, we improve performance in the new
arg-collecting performance tests by ~15% (more like ~18% in the case
where we only emit to one handler -- where argument collection dominates
more).

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.

Higher order languages with garbage collection can have issues releasing
a binding, as they do not control the last reference being dropped on
the binding, source, or target instances.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=698018
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%.
Thanks to Alex Larsson for reviews and fixes.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=698056
The way of getting the default value out of a GParamSpec is to allocate
a GValue, initialise it, then call g_param_spec_set_default() to set the
default value into that GValue.
This is exactly how we handle setting the default value for all of the
construct properties that were not explicitly passed to g_object_new().
Instead of doing the alloc/init/store on all construct properties on
every call to g_object_new(), we can cache those GValues in the private
data of the GParamSpec itself and reuse them.
This patch does not actually make that change to g_object_new() yet, but
it adds the API to GParamSpec so that a future patch to GObject can make
the change.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=698056
Since instance private data is now always at a constant offset to the
instance pointer, we can add an accessor for it that doesn't also
require an instance.
The idea is that classes can call this from their class_init and store
it in a file-scoped static variable and use that to find their private
data on instances very quickly, without a priv pointer.

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.
Complaints go to this bug:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=698614
Classically, a GTypeInstance has had the following layout:
[[[[GTypeInstance] GObject] TypeA] TypeB] [TypeAPrivate] [TypeBPrivate]
where TypeB is a subclass of TypeA which is a GObject. Both TypeA and
TypeB use pivate data.
The main problem with this approach is that the offset between a pointer
to an instance of TypeA and the TypeAPrivate is not constant: it changes
depending on the depth of derivation and the size of the instance
structures of the derived types. For example, changing the size of the
TypeB structure in the above example would push the TypeAPrivate further
along.
This complicates the implementation of g_type_instance_get_private().
In particular, during object construction when the class pointer to the
'complete type' of the object is not yet stored in the header of the
GTypeInstance, we need a lookup table in order to be able to implement
g_type_instance_get_private() accurately.
We can avoid this problem by storing the private data before the
structures, in reverse order, like so:
[TypeBPrivate] [TypeAPrivate] [[[[GTypeInstance] GObject] TypeA] TypeB]
Now the distance between TypeA and TypeAPrivate depends only on the size
of GObject and GTypeInstance, which are static. Even in the case of
TypeB, the distance is not statically known but can be determined at
runtime and is constant (because we will know the size of TypeAPrivate
by the time we initialise TypeB and it won't change).
This approach requires a slighty dirty trick: allocating extra memory
_before_ the pointer we return from g_type_create_instance(). The main
problem with this is that it will cause valgrind to behave very badly,
reporting almost everything as "possibly lost".
We can correct for this by including a few valgrind client requests in
order to inform it that the start of the GTypeInstance should be
considered a block of memory and that pointers to it should mean that
this block is reachable. In order to make the private data reachable,
we also declare it as a block and include an extra pointer from the end
of the primary block pointing back at it. All of this is only done if
we are running under Valgrind.

When looking up signals by name (to connect, for example) and the named

We need to keep a reference to the handler in the fast path, just like
in the slow path, otherwise if another thread disconnects the handler
we may destroy the closure while we're using it without the lock held.
We also move the freeing of the instance to after the emission is totally
done as the handler_unref_R (and the tracepoint) reference it.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=694253
handler_ref and handler_unref_R are always called with the signal
lock held. This is obvious for handler_unref_R as it even sometimes
drops this lock, and can be verified quickly for handler_ref by looking
at all call sites.
This improves the performace about 6% on the emit-handled and the
emit-handled-generic tests.

Experimentally disable the ability to unload dynamic types by refusing

The point of g_source_set_closure() is getting memory management right,
including handling closures disappearing from the outside (for example
because a runtime they refer to is being shutdown). This means that
sources with an associated closure should remove themselves from the
main loop and free memory when the closure is invalidated.

Before this commit, the only difference between the expected and actual
ABI were the addition of _init and _fini symbols in each module (now
that regexp-based export control is not catching those).
This is the bug that has been causing segfaults and criticals when accel
keys are used to close windows via GtkUIManager.
The main cause of this problem was a mistake made in the original patch
when modifying the handler_lookup() to take the extra 'closure'
parameter. The original check used was:
if (handler->sequential_number == handler_id ||
(closure && handler->closure == closure))
It was called to find a particular closure like so:
handler_lookup (instance, 0, closure, &signal_id);
The problem is that the check will return if either the signal ID or
closure matches (if a closure was given). The calling code assumes 0 to
be an invalid signal ID which will match no handlers, but unfortunately
the rest of gsignal code uses this to denote a signal that has already
been disconnected. The result is that this function was searching for a
matching closure _or_ the first already-disconnected handler. When it
found the already-disconnected handler, we'd get criticals and crashes.
The condition has been corrected; it now ignores the handler_id
parameter if the closure parameter is non-NULL.
While we're in here, change the lifecycle of the invalidation notify to
be easier to understand.
Before, the notify was removed when the last reference on the handler
dropped. This could happen in very many situations; often at the end of
an emission. Instead, we now tie the registration of the notifier to
the lifecycle of the signal connection. When the signal is disconnected
we remove the notification, even if other references are held (eg:
because it is currently being dispatched).

We only want to control the default visibility for our five main
installable libraries: libglib, libgthread, libgmodule, libgobject,
libgio. We should therefore only set -fvisibility=hidden when building
those.
Use a separate substitution variable for this purpose.
Using CFLAGS directly leads to some modules built in testcases not
exporting their symbols (and then the tests fail). It also affects the
fam file monitoring module.
Colin had originally done it this way in his visibility patch series but
I failed to understand why so I didn't copy it. Now I do.

Commit 282366c326 unnecessarily (skip)ed all the GParamSpec constructors like
g_param_spec_bool(). Make those introspectable by dropping the (skip) and
adding proper transfer annotations.
Keep g_param_spec_value_array() skipped as GValueArray is deprecated.
With visibility now under the control of __declspec(dllexport) we no
longer need to build .def files or use them for building our various
.dll files.
.def files used to be installed (even though it is only really useful
when creating the .dll or .lib file). Don't do that anymore either.
The Makefiles still contain rules to create a .lib file for use with
Visual Studio and these rules require .def files. There are special
requirements to using these rules (like having installed and setup
Microsoft tools for use during the build) and therefore the problem of
creating a .def file for use with them is left open to anyone willing to
make the effort. Many options are available depending on which
toolchain is in use (dlltool, pexport, gendef, dumpbin.exe, just to name
a few).
If we can find a free tool for creating .lib files in the future, we
should probably revisit this issue and add proper support back to our
build system.
This macro simply evaluates the "extern" unless it has been explicitly
defined to something else.
All of the version macros (including the unversioned deprecation markers
and GLIB_AVAILABLE_IN_ALL) now include _GLIB_EXTERN as part of their
definition.
G_INLINE has also been modified to use _GLIB_EXTERN where appropriate.
This macro should never be used outside of the gmacros.h/gversonmacros.h
headers.
The effect of this patch is that "extern" has now been added to all
functions declared in installed headers. Strictly speaking, this is
something we should have had all along...
GLIB_VAR and GOBJECT_VAR have also been modified to use _GLIB_EXTERN on
non-Windows, instead of "extern" which they were using before. The
eventual goal is to use the normal version/deprecation macros on
exported variables and drop GLIB_VAR but we need to see how this will
work on Windows before we go ahead with that.

Basically due to a combination of va_args semantics around

we would have to define a new enum API.

Modify gsignal to automatically disconnect a GClosure that becomes
invalid (in the g_closure_invalidate() sense).
Previously, when g_signal_connect_object() was used with a GObject as
the user_data and that object was destroyed, the handler would no longer
be called but the signal handler was itself was not disconnected (ie:
the bookkeeping data was kept around).
The main effect of this patch is that these signal handlers will now
be automatically disconnected (and fully freed).
The documentation for g_signal_connect_object() has anticipated this
change for over 10 years and has advised the following workaround when
disconnecting signal handlers connected with g_signal_connect_object():
if (g_signal_handler_is_connected (instance, id))
g_signal_handler_disconnect (instance, id);
If your code follows this practice then it will continue to work.
If your code never disconnects the signal handler then it was wasting
memory before (and this commit fixes that).
If your code unconditionally disconnects the signal handler then you
will start to see (harmless) g_critical() warnings about this and you
should fix them.

This patch solves two problems:
First, it allows builders to optionally cut the circular dependency
between dbus and glib by disabling the modular tests (just like how
the tests can be disabled in dbus).
Second, the tests are entirely pointless to build if cross-compiling.
It also moves us slightly closer to the long term future we want where
the tests are a separate ./configure invocation and run against the
INSTALLED glib, not the one in the source tree. This would allow us to
run the tests constantly, not just when glib is built.

The ability to cross-compile glib got broken after the

was made that the generated glib-genmarshal can be executed
on the host (which isn't valid when cross-compiling).
Fixed this by using the just-built glib-genmarshal for normal

va_vopy() is not universally available in all compilers, so make use of
the existing G_VA_COPY macro which either calls va_copy() if it is

The GValueArray type was added in a time, during the Jurassic era or so,
when GArray did not have a representable GType. The GValueArray API has
various issues as well:
- it doesn't match the other GLib array types;
- it is not reference counted;
- the structure is fully exposed on the stack, so it cannot be
extended to add reference counting;
- it cannot be forcibly resized.
The nice thing is that now we have a GArray type that can replace in
full GValueArray, so we can deprecate the latter, and reduce the
complexity in GLib, application code, and bindings.

... and g_value_get_gtype(). G_TYPE_GTYPE is a pointer type, so it's
values should use the v_pointer member. This is especially true, because
the value collectors from varargs in gvaluecollector.h use that, too.
This should only cause issues when sizeof(glong) != sizeof(gpointer),
and I'm not aware of any such platform. Maybe win64?
Transparent access to a weak pointer from the thread performing the
weak -> strong conversion is incompatible with thread-safety: that
thread will have to do something special. This is GNOME#548954.

Some of the GLib tests deliberately provoke warnings (or even fatal
errors) in a forked child. Normally, this is fine, but under valgrind
it's somewhat undesirable. We do want to follow fork(), so we can check
for leaks in child processes that exit gracefully; but we don't want to
be told about "leaks" in processes that are crashing, because there'd
be no point in cleaning those up anyway.

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
Add a testcase to check all possibilities for overriding a property
specified on an interface from an implementation of that interface,
changing the type and flags.

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.

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

This was used as an optimisation for the macro hackery that used to live
in gthread.h. If a particular library or program knew that it could
rely on thread support being enabled, it would allow for static
evaluation of conditionals in some of those macros.
Since the macros are dead and thread support is now always-on, we can
get rid of this bit of legacy.
And remove the 'joinable' argument from g_thread_new() and
g_thread_new_full().
Change the wording in the docs. Clarify expectations for
(deprecated) g_thread_create().
enums are stored in v_long but need to be marshalled as signed
integers. On platforms where int is 32 bits, taking the
address of v_long resulted in the wrong 32 bits being marshalled.
So we need to stuff the enum's int-sized value to a temporary
int-sized variable and marshall that instead.
Second, on return, libffi actually returns a pointer to a value
that's sized according to platform conventions, not according to
what the caller requested. ie if ffi_type_sint was requested, the
value can still be a 64-bit sign-extended long on a 64-bit
architecture like PPC64, thus the caller cannot simply cast
the return value as a pointer to the desired type, but must cast
as a pointer to an integral type and then cast to the desired
type to remove any sign extension complications.
For more information on how to correctly handle libffi return
values, see the following bug, specifically comment 35:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=736489
"For 64-bit ABIs that extend integral returns types to 64-bits, libffi always
returns full 64-bit values that you can truncate in the calling code. It's
just the way it is has always been. Please don't change libffi. I'll document
this clearly for the next version (perhaps there is a mention of this, I
haven't looked yet).
The same is true for returning 8-bit values, for instance, on 32-bit systems.
All ABIs extend those results to the full 32-bits so you need to provide a
properly aligned buffer that's big enough to hold the result."

Currently interface lookups are do a binary search over all the interfaces
an object implements. Its possible to do this lookup in constant time using for
instance the gcj algorighm described at:
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/java/1999-q3/msg00377.html
This is an implementation of that based on GAtomicArray.
We implement lock free interface lookup by moving the n_ifaces
counter into memory pointed to by TypeNode->iface_entries, and
then updating this in RCU-style by always copying it, modifying
the copy and then when the modification is done replace the old
pointer with g_atomic_pointer_set.
There is one additional complexity when freeing the old memory,
since the old memory region can be in use. To handle this we
don't free such memory, but put it on a free list and reuse it
later. This means that lock-free lookups must be able to
handle the memory being modified in random ways without crashing,
and at the end we verify that the memory didn't change and the
transaction is ok.
With this infrastructure the patch then implements a lock-free
version of type_lookup_iface_entry_L called type_lookup_iface_vtable_I
and use it in: g_type_interface_peek, g_type_interface_peek_parent
and type_node_check_conformities_UorL.
Using the performance tests from bug 557100 shows that the general
performance difference is negligible, but the lack of a lock for each
type check and interface vfunc call should greatly enhance threaded
scalability.
This adds supports for a lock-less a non-shrinking growable array.
You can use it to do reads using no locks, as long as your read-code
can handle that during the read transaction the object can be modified
by another writer (but it will not change size or be freed), and you
can only trust the result once the transaction has finished successfully.
This doesn't free things like RCU normally does, instead it pushes the
memory on a free list that is reused for other atomic arrays.
The n_children variable can be written when locked, while the n_supers
variable is read at any time. As they both share the same bytes,
accessing them is not threadsafe.
This patch puts them into different bytes.
Thanks to Xan Lopez and valgrind for noticing this.
Store whether the object has a toggleref before decrementing the
refcount to prevent race condition when two threads simultaneously
try to unref an object with a refcount of 2.

This avoids a bunch of code and makes construction of simple objects
faster.
Object construction performance improvement:

If the class has no properties there could be no notification anyway.
This is an important optimization for construction of simple objects.

Commit 789e260638 tried to add support for -?, but there is a typo
and instead -h was added when already present instead of -? for one
of the cases.
It works without this corrections, because all unrecognized options
trigger usage showing as well, but this is more correct.
This was bug 556706 originally.
Tools like clang fail to recognize that stanzas like
g_return_if_fail (GTK_IS_FOO (w)) guarantee w != NULL. By minimally
rewriting the type-checking macros, we can avoid these false positives.
Since @filename@ contains the full filename as given to the glib-mkenum
command, possibly including path elements (e.g. when using a non-srcdir
build), it is unsuitable to use in a #include statement in the generated
file if one wants to distribute it. This patch adds @basename@ which
expands to the base name of the input filename. Bug #587307.
Update various README files to refer to git instead of svn.
Add a README.commits that is pretty much a copy of the same file
in GTK+. Also discontinue ChangeLog files.

* glib/ghash.c:
* glib/gtree.c:
* glib/ghook.c:
* glib/gmain.c:
* glib/gnode.c:
removed GAllocator and free list usages and accompanying locks.
use g_slice_*() API to allocate and cache small bits of memory.
* glib/ghook.h: removed GMemChunk field from public API.
* glib/gslist.h:
* glib/glist.h: deprecate allocator API, provide _free1() for consistency.
* glib/gnode.h: deprecate allocator API.
* glib/gmain.c: reordered GPollRec fields so g_slice_free_chain() can
be used for poll rec lists.
* glib/grel.c: removed mem chunk usage, and allocated tuples via g_slice_*().
g_relation_destroy(): free all tuples from the all_tuples hash table,
this effectively maintains the life time track keeping of tuples.
g_relation_delete_tuple(): free tuples which are removed from the
all_tuples hash table. this fixes a temporary leak that was present
in the memchunk code until the destruction of the relation.

* gtype.h (G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE): revert last change, it breaks
all users of G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE() inside
G_DEFINE_TYPE_WITH_CODE(), since apparently GCC doesn't like
commas enclosed in {}, not (), in nested macro calls.
2005-09-26 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
* glib-mkenums.in: Don't hang on '{' following a trigraph comment
in the same line. (#314890, Mathias Hasselmann)
Thu Sep 22 12:42:12 2005 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* gparam.c (g_param_spec_internal): fix pspec->name assignment which
needs to be strdup()ed for non G_PARAM_STATIC_NAME pspecs. this fixes
recently introduced crashes during plugin unloading.
also, ensure that static pspec names are canonicalized.
* gsignal.h: reverted last change from matthias, we don't guarantee
that type ids aren't mangled with G_SIGNAL_TYPE_STATIC_SCOPE anywhere.
2005-09-20 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
* gsignal.h (struct _GSignalQuery): Remove the misleading comment
about G_SIGNAL_TYPE_STATIC_SCOPE, since we don't allow that
on return types.
2005-09-08 Kjartan Maraas <kmaraas@gnome.org>
* gclosure.c: (g_closure_set_meta_marshal): Remove some unused
code.
* gsignal.c: (g_signal_emitv): Same here
* gtype.c: (g_type_register_fundamental): And here
* testgobject.c: Mark some functions static.
2005-09-05 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
* gsignal.c (struct _SignalNode): Make the name field const.
(g_signal_newv): Don't keep an unnecessary extra copy of the
signal name around, and don't forget to free the name if
an existing node is reused.
2005-08-31 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
* gparam.c (g_param_spec_internal): Intern the name here,
since we need the quark anyway when sending change notification.
* gobject/genums.c: (g_flags_get_first_value): Special-case flag
value of 0. Instead of returning the first random GFlagsValue
we come across, return the GFlagsValue for 0 if it exists or
NULL if it does not exist. Never return the GFlagsValue for 0
if the requested flags value is nonzero.
2005-08-09 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
* gvaluetransform.c: Access enum and flags
values as v_long/v_ulong, not v_int/v_uint,
to make value transformation of such types
work on bigendian 64bit machines. (#312485,
Michael Lorenz)
2005-08-02 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
* gclosure.c (union ClosureInt): Mark the vint member as
volatile, which seems to be necessary to make atomic operations
work on s390.
Mon Aug 1 23:00:42 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
* gclosure.c: turned all modifications to the first 32 integer bits in a
closure into atomic accesses. wrapped write accesses into special macros
to keep the atomic modification logic in a single place. comment cleanups.
* gclosure.h: made all atomicly accessed closure fields volatile.
* gobject.h: made ref_count field volatile.
Sun Jul 31 02:04:23 2005 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* gobject.c: use g_datalist_set_flags() and g_datalist_unset_flags() to
allow proper locking around &qdata modifications.
Sat Jul 30 21:10:26 2005 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* gobject.c: reverted notify_mutex introduction, since this prevents
parallelized setting of object properties on different objects, and
serves no apparent purpose (to me at least).
g_object_real_dispose(): removed non-atomic reference count
modifications.
g_object_unref(): make sure the closures array is destroyed when
destroying signal handlers.
* gparam.c: cosmetic changes.
* gsignal.c: comment fixup. allow 16bit blocking count.
* gsignal.c: reverted GClosure related changes.
* gclosure.c: reverted premature commit of atomic reference
counting attempt.
2005-07-15 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
Make refcounting threadsafe by using atomic
operations. (#166020, Wim Taymans)
* gobject.c: Use a recursive lock to protect the
notify queue.
(g_object_unref): Get rid of g_object_last_unref and
do the last unref handling in g_object_unref.
(g_object_ref, g_object_unref): Use atomic operations.
* gsignal.c (struct _HandlerMatch): Use a full integer
for the ref_count field.
(handler_ref, handler_unref_R): Use atomic operations.
* gparam.c (g_param_spec_ref, g_param_spec_unref):
Use atomic operations instead of a lock to make the
refcounting threadsafe.
* gclosure.c (g_closure_ref, g_closure_unref): Use atomic
operations. This is more complicated here, since the
refcount is stored in a bitfield, so we also have
to access all other bitfield members atomically.
* gsignal.c (handlers_find): Read the meta_marshal flag
of the closure atomically.
* tests/Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Add tests/refcount
* configure.in: Add tests/refcount
* tests/refcount/properties.c: Test property changes
from multiple threads.
* tests/refcount/signals.c: Test signal emission from
multiple threads.
* tests/refcount/objects.c: Test refcounting from
multiple threads.
* tests/refcount/objects2.c:
* tests/refcount/properties2.c: Tests to measure the
overhead of threadsafe refcounting.
* glib/giochannel.c (g_io_channel_ref, g_io_channel_unref):
Use atomic operations to make refcounting
threadsafe. (#166020, Wim Taymans)
2005-07-11 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
* gobject.h:
* gobject.symbols: Remove G_GNUC_NULL_TERMINATED from
g_object_new again, since that makes gcc warn on calls of
the form g_object_new (some_type, NULL)
2005-07-09 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
* configure.in: Don't use autoconf variables for the resource
object files on Win32 any longer. Instead handle that in the
Makefile.am files. Check for windres.
* glibconfig.h.win32.in: Minor tuning to match the
configure-produced glibconfig.h closely.
* */Makefile.am: Don't use the scripts in build/win32 to
compile the .rc file into a resource object file. (This means
we loose the build number increment magic, but I doubt it was
that useful anyway.) Instead use windres directly. To pass the
normal .o file produced by windres through libtool, which
wants .lo files, pass it directly to the linker using a -Wl
option.
* */*.rc.in: Thus replace BUILDNUMBER with 0.
2005-06-26 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
* Makefile.am: libtool installs/uninstalls the import library, no
need to do it ourselves. Do still install/uninstall the .def file,
though.
