As an example, the core of gedit is in a private library
placed in %INSTALLDIR%/lib/gedit/libgedit.dll
Before this patch we would get %INSTALLDIR%/lib/gedit as the
installation package dir, while what we actually want is to get
%INSTALLDIR%

Rather than having special code in gsocket.c, handle Winsock errors
along with other Win32 errors in gioerror.c
Also, reference g_win32_error_message() from the
g_io_error_from_win32_error() docs, and update the
g_win32_error_message() docs to clarify that it works with Winsock
error codes too.
Since all element markup is now gone from the doc comments,
we can turn off the gtk-doc sgml mode, which means that from
now on, docbook markup is no longer allowed in doc comments.
To make this possible, we have to replace all remaining
entities in doc comments by their replacement text, & -> &
and so on.
This returns the command line in GLib filename encoding format (ie:
UTF-8) for use with g_option_context_parse_strv().
This will allow parsing of Unicode commandline arguments on Windows,
even if the characters in those arguments fall outside of the range of
the system codepage.

Since we are already building a deprecated function for compatibility
reasons, we don't really need to see a warning when it uses another
deprecated GLib function.
2009-01-21 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
* glib/gwin32.c (g_win32_locale_filename_from_utf8): Drop the code
in the else branch of #if GLIB_CHECK_VERSION (2, 19, 0). Drop
unused variables.

Bug 567138 - get_package_directory_from_module() does not free its
lock when failing

2008-09-13 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
* glib/gutils.h
* glib/gwin32.h: Deprecate G_WIN32_DLLMAIN_FOR_DLL_NAME(),
g_win32_get_package_installation_directory() and
g_win32_get_package_installation_subdirectory() as their
documentation has warned for a while. Sorry that I forgot to do
this before 2.18.0.
* glib/gwin32.c (g_win32_get_package_installation_directory):
Print a warning if a non-NULL package parameter is passed to this
function, as that is deprecated usage, as the documentation says.

builds of the really old GLib (pre-2.8.1) versions those refer to,
there is no need to have the "ABI compatibility" versions in the
DLL.

(g_win32_get_package_installation_directory_of_module): Fix Cygwin
breakage. Patch by Lieven van der Heide.
svn path=/trunk/; revision=6790
2008-02-24 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
* glib/gwin32.c
(g_win32_get_package_installation_directory_of_module): New
function. Supersedes g_win32_get_package_installation_directory()
and g_win32_get_package_installation_directory().
It makes more sense to have the function for this functionality
take a HMODULE as parameter instead of DLL name. The typical use
scenario has been to have a DllMain() function that retrieves the
full pathname for the DLL in question, and saves just the basename
of that. Then later code passes that saved dll basename to
g_win32_get_package_installation_directory(), which retrieves the
corresponding DLL handle, and then retrieves up its full
pathname. (Which DLlMain() already had.) It is less convoluted to
have a DllMain() that just saves the DLL handle, and then when
needed call this function to get the corresponding installation
folder.
(get_package_directory_from_module): Use
g_win32_get_package_installation_directory_of_module().
(g_win32_get_package_installation_directory)
(g_win32_get_package_installation_subdirectory): Mention these
functions will be deprecated and recommend using
g_win32_get_package_installation_directory_of_module() instead.
* glib/gwin32.h: Declare
g_win32_get_package_installation_directory_of_module().
* glib/glib.symbols: Add it.

* glib/gwin32.c (g_win32_getlocale): Simplify greatly. Instead of
hardcoding a large switch statement, just ask Windows for the
ISO639 and ISO3166 codes. Tack on @Latn or @Cyrl for those
languages which can alternatively be written in Latin or Cyrillic.

that we are passed before adding them to the hash tables, to guard
against the caller freeing them. (#355955, Andreas Köhler)
2006-08-29 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
Remove support for Windows 9x/ME, as will be done also in Pango
and GTK+. GTK+ hasn't worked on Win9x since 2.6 or 2.8 anyway, so
it's pretty pointless to keep the Win9x code in here either. If
somebody is interested, the code can always be found in older GLib
versions, and in CVS.

G_WIN32_HAVE_WIDECHAR_API() tests and their false (Win9x)
branches, and any variables or static functions used only by the
Win9x branches.
* glib/gwin32.c (g_win32_windows_version_init): Call g_error() if
run on Win9x.
2005-10-19 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
* glib/gwin32.c (g_win32_get_package_installation_directory):
Return a g_strdup()ed copy of the value stored in the hash table,
so that it can be g_free()d without leaving a dangling pointer in
the hash table. (#319232)
2005-04-27 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
* glib/gconvert.c (open_converter, g_convert_with_iconv): Don't
call g_set_error() unless the GError pointer is non-NULL. This
avoids infinite recursion problems in certain rare situations on
Windows, when g_locale_from_utf8() is called from
_glib_get_locale_dir() after the change below. It's the
_glib_gettext() calls to translate error messages that are
parameters to g_set_error() that cause the recursion, not
g_set_error() itself.
* glib/gwin32.c (g_win32_locale_filename_from_utf8): New
function. Converts a filename to the system codepage, and if a
straight conversion isn't possible (because the filename contains
characters not in the system codepage), try looking up the
filename (which should refer to an existing file for this to
succeed) with short (8.3) pathname components.
* glib/gutils.c (_glib_get_locale_dir): No need to cache the
result, this function is normally called only once. Return the
path to the locale directory in system codepage, not UTF-8. The
path is passed to bindtextdomain(), which doesn't use UTF-8 file
names. Use g_win32_locale_filename_from_utf8(). (#301772)
Don't do run-time lookup of message catalog directory on
Cygwin. Cygwin is supposed to look and feel like Unix, and on Unix
we use paths fixed at configure time.

Make PLT-reduction work with gcc4, and don't include
everything in galias.h:
* glib/glib.symbols: Group symbols by header and source file.
* glib/makegalias.pl: Protect definitions by the same
preprocessor symbols used to guard the headers. Move
the alias declarations to a separate file which is
produced when calling makegalias.pl -def
* glib/Makefile.am (galiasdef.c): Add a rule to generate this
file.
* glib/*.c: Include galias.h after the other GLib headers,
include galiasdef.c at the bottom.

get_package_directory_from_module,
g_win32_get_package_installation_directory,
g_win32_get_package_installation_subdirectory): Use wide character
API when available. Document that string parameters and return
values are in UTF-8.
2004-10-26 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
* glib/gwin32.c (g_win32_get_windows_version): Make this
function thread-safe in the GLib style.
* glib/gthreadinit.h:
* glib/gwin32.c (_g_win32_thread_init): New function to
initialize the version.
* glib/gthread.c (g_thread_init_glib): Call
_g_win32_thread_init() from here.
2004-09-15 Tor Lillqvist <tml@iki.fi>
* glib/gwin32.c (g_win32_error_message): Convert message to
UTF-8. Technically this breaks API, but the actual use cases in
gdk/win32 have assumed it is UTF-8 anyway. Fix
documentation. (#152618, Kazuki Iwamoto)
* glib/gwin32.h: Don't define ftruncate as a macro. Was never a
good idea, and it clashes with newest mingw headers, which have a
ftruncate implementation as an inline function. Thanks to Dominik R.
* glib/gwin32.c (g_win32_ftruncate): Simplify implementation, just
call _chsize() in the C library.
2004-08-25 Tor Lillqvist <tml@iki.fi>
* glib/gwin32.c (g_win32_get_windows_version): New
function. Returns the Windows version code like GetVersion(),
except that one can pretend to be running on Win9x by setting the
G_WIN32_PRETEND_WIN9X environment variable. This is mainly for
debugging purposed.
* glib/gwin32.h: Declare it. Define macros G_WIN32_WINDOWS_IS_NT_BASED
and G_WIN32_HAVE_WIDECHAR_API to test Windows features at run-time.
2003-06-11 Tor Lillqvist <tml@iki.fi>
* glib-zip.in (DEVZIP): libtool 1.5 installs DLLs in the bin
subdirectory, so get them from there.
* glib/gwin32.c (g_win32_getlocale): Use "sr@Latn" and "sr" in the
same way as the po files for Serbian in Latin and Cyrillic script.
