Finally, a new and improved IO Channel and condition watch
implementation for Win32. Based on code provided by Craig Setera.
When watching file descriptors, for which there is no select()
like functionality on Win32 that would work on all Win32 platforms
for all types of file descriptors (including anonymous pipes), we
start a new thread that blocks while trying to read from the file
descriptor. When the read returns, a Win32 Event is signalled that
the polling routine eventually notices. Meanwhile, the data being
read is stored in a circular buffer, from where the IO channel's
read() method picks it up.
If the buffer fills up the reading thread has to wait for space
becoming available. For this another Win32 Event is used. The IO
Channel's read() method signals this when it has read some data
out of the buffer.
The separate reader thread(s), and the circular buffer(s) with
associated events mean lots of possibilities for fun parallellism
errors. But it seems to work OK, i.e. GIMP runs.
* gmain.c: Small changes to the Win32 polling function.
(g_main_win32_get_poll_func): New function. Perhaps it would be a
good idea to provide this on all platforms.
* giowin32.c: The bulk of the new implementation.
(g_io_channel_win32_wait_for_condition): New function. To be used
where on Unix one does a select() on the channel's fd, like
libgimp's gimp_extension_process(). Could be provided on all
platforms.
* glib.h: Update documentation for IO Channels on Win32. Remove
the declarations for the as of now obsolete old functions related
to IO Channels for pipes with "wakeup" messages.
* glib.def: Some new functions.
* tests/gio-test.c: New file, to test GIOChannel and main loop.
* tests/Makefile.am
* tests/makefile.mingw.in: Add it.
Fri Jul 14 12:22:49 2000 Owen Taylor <otaylor@redhat.com>
* configure.in Makefile.am glib-config.m4 glib.m4: Move
glib-config to glib-config-2.0 move glib.m4 to
glib-2.0.m4
* Makefile.am gobject/Makefile.am gmodule/Makefile.am
gthread/Makefile.am tests/Makefile.am: Change
library names to libglib-1.3.la, etc, so that we
can distinguish glib-1.2 and glib-2.0 on the linkline.
* Makefile.am gobject/Makefile.am gmodule/Makefile.am:
Move include files into /usr/include/glib-2.0.
Thu Jul 6 18:54:49 2000 Owen Taylor <otaylor@redhat.com>
* docs/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove info files
from the build.
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*.
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.
2000-03-24 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.
Sat Jul 24 20:11:35 1999 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* merged GLib 1.3.0 with glib-1.2.3 from Fri Jul 16 22:18:36.
* incorporated proposed cleanups from gtk-devel-list.
* bumped version number to GLib-1.3.1
* glib.h:
* gqueue.c:
* gstring.c:
* glist.c:
removed string tokenisation (we got g_strsplit() and g_strjoin()
already) and readline functions.
s/g_list_delete/g_list_delete_link.
implemented g_slist_delete_link.
removed notion of g_ATEXIT() macro in glib.h, this is an *internal*
macro, g_atexit() is provided for public consumption.
added GTrashStack inline utility functions.
reimplement double eneded queues.
removed GStack implementation, people can use a queue or a (singly)
linked list for this task.
deprecated g_strescape(), we need the SunOS variants here.
* gdate.c: added DEBUG_MSG() macro to wrap old messages.
* *.*: CVS merges.
* upgrade to libtool 1.3.3.
1999-06-17 Sebastian Wilhelmi <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>
* configure.in, acglib.m4, acconfig.h, glib.h, gthread.c:
Completed the thread support in GLib. Thread creation,
prioritizing threads, yielding, joining threads as well as
reader/writer locks and recursive mutexes are now in place. Please
test heavily on your platform. It is so far tested on
Linux/i386/pthreads, Solaris/Sparc/pthreads and
Solaris/Sparc/solaristhreads.
* gtimer.c, glib.h: Implement g_usleep (gulong microseconds) for
thread safe sleeping. (sleep() is not MT-safe at all!)
* gutils.c: Avoid compiler warning.
* tests/Makefile.am, tests/thread-test.c: New program to test some
aspects of the thread implementation.
* gthread.c, Makefile.am: Renamed from gmutex.c to reflect the
change of content.
* configure.in: Purged all appearances of nspr.
* gthread/gthread-posix.c, gthread-solaris.c: Added the native
implementations for the GLib's extended thread support.
* gthread/gthread-nspr.c: Removed for good. NSPR is nothing we
would want to build upon.
* gthread/gthread.c: Renamed to gthread-impl.c to avoid
confusion with ../gthread.c (Formerly known as the file called
gmutex.c)
* gthread/testgthread.c: Removed. The new and much extended
tests are in ../tests/thread-test.c.
* gthread/Makefile.am: Changed to reflect the changes above.
* Makefile.am tests/Makefile.am: Correct rules for making the
win32-related files that are made from corresponding .in files.
Is there a cleaner way than explicitly writing rules that invoke
config.status?
* makefile.msc.in makefile.cygwin.in glibconfig.h.win32.in
config.h.win32.in tests/makefile.msc.in tests/makefile.cygwin.in:
New files, used to generate corresponding non-.in files when
making a dist. This is just so the version numbers will be kept in
synch automatically.
* configure.in: Also substitute @GLIB_MAJOR_VERSION@,
@GLIB_MINOR_VERSION@, and @GLIB_INTERFACE_AGE@.
* Makefile.am tests/Makefile.am: Also distribute makefile.cygwin.
* gerror.c (g_on_error_query): On Win32, put up a MessageBox and
then exit.
* glib.def: Add a couple of functions.
1999-04-09 Sebastian Wilhelmi <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>
* grand.c, tests/rand-test.c: New files to implement the Mersenne
Twister Pseudo Random Number Generator.
* glib.h, AUTHORS, Makefile.am, tests/Makefile.am: Changed
accordingly.
1999-03-14 Jeff Garzik <jgarzik@pobox.com>

* tests/Makefile.am, tests/date-test.c:
Added test of the GDate module, based closely on testgdate.c.
* tests/Makefile.am:
Bugfix - compile tests with @GLIB_DEBUG_FLAGS@.
Thu Jan 21 12:40:11 EST 1999 Jeff Garzik <jgarzik@pobox.com>
* gmodule/gmodule-dl.c (_g_module_build_path):
Add braces to eliminate an ambiguous else warning.
* tests/{Makefile.am, string-test.c, strfunc-test.c}:
Separate string and strfunc tests, working towards goal of
having separate test for each of the GLib modules.
Add a couple GString length tests.
* testglib.c:
Make all aux functions static.
* tests/Makefile.am, tests/dirname-test.c, tests/type-test.c:
New tests dirname-test and type-test, from testglib.
