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>
* 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>.
2000-04-17 Sebastian Wilhelmi <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>
* glib.h, gqueue.c, tests/queue-test.c (main): Renamed
g_queue_create to g_queue_new in conformance to all other GLib
data types.
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.
2000-03-17 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.
2000-03-04 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.
Wed Mar 1 10:39:39 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* gslist.c (g_slist_reverse): minor optimization.
* testglib.c (g_node_test): added a couple of tests for
g_node_copy().
* glib.h:
* gnode.c (g_node_copy): new function to copy subtrees,
supplied by dbsears@ix.netcom.com.
changed iterator to walk the children list backwards, so
we get down from O(n^2) to O(n).
* gnode.c (g_node_first_sibling): applied patch from
dbsears@ix.netcom.com to optimize access if node->parent
is present.
* gutils.c (g_get_any_init): backed out HAVE_PW_GECOS check around
assignment of g_real_name, sicne HAVE_PW_GECOS is never defined and
thus breaks the original code.
* merged changes from 1.2.7.
Sat Feb 19 19:43:29 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* testgmodule.c (main): added test to check that not yet bound symbols
in shared libraries of the main module are retrievable, from David Gero.
Fri Jan 28 11:37:41 2000 Owen Taylor <otaylor@redhat.com>
Bug #4156 - Changes vaguely modelled after Scott Gifford's patch
* gtimer.c (g_timer_elapsed): Never report negative times -
clip times to 0.
* gmain.c (g_timeout_prepare): Guard against unexpected
clock shifts by never setting a timeout of more than
data->interval msecs.
Thu Feb 17 12:53:44 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* gstring.c: changed g_str_hash() to a 31 bit version based on
a submission by Karl Nelson and hand optimized ad absurdum by
various people ;)
* gstring.c: applied patch from havoc for new gstring functions,
added some more sanity checks, coding style fixups.
2000-02-13 Havoc Pennington <hp@pobox.com>
* tests/string-test.c (main): Add tests for the new GString
features
* testglib.c (main): Add tests for the new GString features
* gstring.c (g_string_insert_len): New function; insert
a given length of string at a given position.
(g_string_append): reimplement in terms of g_string_insert_len
(g_string_append_len): new function
(g_string_insert_c): accept -1 for "pos" arg to mean "append"
(g_string_append_c): reimplement in terms of g_string_insert_c
(g_string_prepend): reimplement in terms of g_string_insert_len
(g_string_prepend_len): new function
(g_string_prepend_c): reimplement in terms of g_string_insert_c
(g_string_insert): reimplement in terms of g_string_insert_len
* glib.h: Declare g_string_insert_len, g_string_append_len,
g_string_prepend_len
Fri Feb 4 19:36:05 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* glib.h:
* gdataset.c: return stolen data from g_datalist_id_remove_no_notify()
and g_dataset_id_remove_no_notify() to avoid second lookup for common
use.
2000-02-01 Tor Lillqvist <tml@iki.fi>
* glib.h
* gstrfuncs.c (g_filename_to_utf8, g_filename_from_utf8): New
functions for conversion between UTF-8 and the encoding expected
by C runtime functions like open() and stat(), and returned by
readdir().
Implement them on Win32 where we use the system "ANSI" codepage,
which might be single-byte or double-byte. On Unix, just skip the
issue for now and provide dummy implementations that return a copy
of the argument.
* README.win32
* build-dll
* glib.def: Minor updates.
Wed Jan 26 05:24:38 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* glib.h:
* gmain.c: s/current_time/dispatch_time/ for the dispatch() handlers.
refetch the current time after invocation of poll() to cover up for
the time spent in that function call.
Fri Jan 21 10:18:24 2000 Owen Taylor <otaylor@redhat.com>
* glib.h (G_N_ELEMENTS): Added G_N_ELEMENTS macro to determine
the number of elements in an array.
1999-11-16 Sebastian Wilhelmi <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>
* acconfig.h, config.h.win32.in, configure.in: Renamed
GLIB_SIZEOF_PTHREAD_T to GLIB_SIZEOF_SYSTEM_THREAD to reflect
changed meaning.
* configure.in: Cope with systems, that have a pthread_t type,
that is not a pointer. Hint from Karl Nelson
<kenelson@ece.ucdavis.edu>. Define GLIB_SIZEOF_SYSTEM_THREAD to 4
for Solaris. Cope with systems, that have no default mutex
initialize, like obviously most DCE systems.
* glib.h, gthread.c: Changed the prototype of thread_create and
thread_self to return the system thread into provided memory
instead of a return value. This is necessary, as HPUX has a
pthread_t, that is bigger than the biggest integral type there.
* gthread.c: system_thread is no longer a pointer, but an memory
area of size GLIB_SIZEOF_SYSTEM_THREAD. Changed the
zeroinitialization and the tests for zeroness accordingly.
1999-11-01 Tor Lillqvist <tml@iki.fi>
* glib.h
* glib.def: Rename Win32-only functions from gwin_* to g_win32_*
to match the GLib naming conventions.
* gutils.c
* gwin32.c
* testglib.c
* makefile.{cygwin,msc}: Move the Win32-only functions to the new
file gwin32.c
1999-10-31 Tor Lillqvist <tml@iki.fi>
* gcache.c (g_cache_remove): Don't crash if removing a nonexistent
value.
* gutils.c (gwin_getlocale): New Win32-specific function, returns
a Unixish current locale string (en, zh_TW etc).
* glib.h: Declare it.
* glib.def: Export it.
* testglib.c: Test it.
* gmessages.c (Win32: ensure_stdout_valid): Some improvements,
make sure we don't call AllocConsole several times, which I think
has happened.
Tue Oct 12 14:17:12 1999 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* glib.h: removed useless g_string(x) macro that cluttered the namespace
and was just a poor wrapper around the cpp '#' symbol, use #x if you
need to work around this.
added new macro G_STRINGIFY(arg) that will convert arg to a string,
no matter whether it contains macros or not.
1999-10-12 Tor Lillqvist <tml@iki.fi>
* config.h.win32.in: Define the new GLIB_SIZEOF_* constants here,
too.
* glib.h: Small Win32 comments improvement.
Tue Oct 12 12:16:12 1999 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* gmessages.c (g_printf_string_upper_bound): completly new implementation
for printf string upper bounds calculation.
we handle all glibc 2.1 format specifiers now, except for positional
parameters (%nn$...) and wide char strings, plus some obscure upper
case variants of the standard conversions. this fixes a lot of
bugs in the old code, i.e.
- NULL format strings
- floats with exponents >+24
- %G
- precision specifications in general
- negative field widths
- %p for SIZEOF_VOID_P > 4 platforms
we now issue warnigns in places where the old code would have
caused buffer overruns anyways. warnings are suppressed when invoked
from glogv(), to avoid infinite recursions if someone passes a log
message that comes with really obscure format specifications.
Tue Oct 12 11:49:00 1999 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* gstrfuncs.c: nuked old g_printf_string_upper_bound() version.
Tue Oct 12 03:34:40 1999 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* glib.h: added GFloatIEEE754 and GDoubleIEEE754 unions to access sign,
mantissa and exponent of IEEE floats and doubles (required by the new
version of g_printf_string_upper_bound). the unions are endian specific,
we handle G_LITTLE_ENDIAN and G_BIG_ENDIAN as of currently. ieee floats
and doubles are supported (used for storage) by at least intel, ppc and
sparc, reference:
http://twister.ou.edu/workshop.docs/common-tools/numerical_comp_guide/ncg_math.doc.html
Mon Oct 11 18:01:49 1999 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* configure.in: added additional checks to figure sizes of size_t,
ptrdiff_t and intmax_t (required by g_printf_string_upper_bound).
* glib.h: (Win32) Drop the mapping of POSIX function names to the
underscored versions, it's unnecessary after all. With MSVC we get
them from oldnames.lib, with gcc-2.95 and mingw32 from
-lmoldname-msvc. Add comment about what headers to include for
prototypes.
Wed Sep 22 01:53:18 1999 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* glib.h (NULL): define NULL as (0L) if __cplusplus is defined, to
avoid "ANSI C++ forbids implicit conversion from `void *' in argument
passing" errors upon NULL usage in C++ programs (gcc-2.95 is on crack
for erroring out on this, instead of just issueing a warning).
* glib.h (g_trash_stack_pop): use uncasted NULL again.
* glib.h (g_trash_stack_push): Add a cast.
* gslist.c
* glist.c: Make the inline functions static inline, and add
separate extern wrappers. Not all compilers produce callable entry
points for inline functions, even if gcc does.
Sun Aug 15 02:47:14 1999 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* glib.h (g_trash_stack_pop): eliminate memset() call, since string.h
has not neccessarily been included prior to glib.h.
Mon Aug 2 21:03:10 1999 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* configure.in: added --enable-msg-prefix option.
* gmessages.c (g_log_default_handler): feature "prg_name (pid:%u): "
if --enable-msg-prefix was selected (use "(process:%u): " if
g_get_prgname () returns NULL, along the lines of g_on_error_query).
* glib.h
* gstrfuncs.c
* tests/strfunc-test.c: Rename g_strccpy to g_strcompress and
g_strecpy to g_strescape per Tim Janik's suggestion. Dropped the
destination parameter, always g_malloc a new string. Fix bug in
g_strcompress, octal digits were gobbled up without limit, should
use max three.
Sources that use g_strescape must have ifdefs to be compilable
both with GLib 1.2 and 1.3.
* glib.h
* gstrfuncs.c: the #define for g_strescape interfered with the
compilation of the function, so just remove the function and
note that it's deprecated in the header
-Yosh
* gstrfuncs.c (g_strccpy, g_strecpy): New functions.
* glib.h: Declare and document them. Define the deprecated
g_strescape as a macro that calls g_strecpy.
* tests/strfunc-test.c (main): Test them.
* makefile.{cygwin,msc}.in
* tests/makefile.{cygwin,msc}.in: Remove gstack and its test
program.
* glib.def: Additions and removals.
* README.win32: Improve gcc build instructions.
* build-dll: Also build import library for MSVC.
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.
* README.win32: Correct URL for mingw runtime sources.
* build-dll: Combine commands with &&.
* glib.h: Map also rmdir() and hypot() for MSVCRT library.
* makefile.cygwin.in
* tests/makefile.cygwin.in: New DLL naming style. GCC-compiled DLLs are
now called *.gcc.dll, to avoid binary incompatibilities with
MSVC-compiled versions.
* makefile.msc.in: Cosmetics.
1999-07-01 Sebastian Wilhelmi <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>
* configure.in, acconfig.h, gutils.c: Added a g_memmove
replacement for platforms without memmove, where bcopy can't
handle overlapping copies and the corresponding checks, which is
taken form the PERL Configure routine.
* glib.h: Updated the commentary about g_memmove to be right and
more GLib-like.
* configure.in: Removed test for rand_r, as it isn't used anymore.
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.
* glib.h (Win32): Map fileno to _fileno for mingw32. Map fstat to
_fstat.
* README.win32: Advice also to remove -lmoldname from the
patch to the egcs-1.1.2 spec file patch.
* README.win32: More editing.
* build-dll: Use gcc, not ld to link.
* glib.h: On native Win32 use _unlink().
* gscanner.c: Use corrent NATIVE_WIN32 feature test macro,
not _MSC_VER.
* gstring.c: Include <io.h> on Win32 for _read prototype.
* gutils.c: Remove old IO channel code (was in #if 0).
* makefile.cygwin: Don't need to link with kernel32 and msvcrt
explicitly, they are included anyway.
i.e. gcc -mno-cygwin on cygwin (a.k.a. mingw32, using egcs-1.1.2).
* README.win32: Updated.
* build-dll makefile.cygwin tests/makefile.cygwin: New files.
* glib.h glib.def glibconfig.h.win32 makefile.msc: Slight updates.
* gmain.c: No need to include <fcntl.h> and <io.h> on Win32.
* gmain.c gutils.c testglib.c tests/string-test.c: Test for
NATIVE_WIN32, not _MSC_VER.
* gmutex.c: Must declare g_thread_functions_for_glib_use as
exported (using the GUTILS_C_VAR macro).
* gutils.c gmodule/libgplugin_[ab].c: LibMain not needed.
* gmodule/gmoduleconf.h.win32: Need underscore with gcc.
* gthread/gthread.c: With gcc on Win32, must use memcpy to assign
value of g_thread_functions_for_glib_use (?).
* makefile.msc tests/makefile.msc: Cosmetics.
Sat Apr 17 20:55:13 BST 1999 Tony Gale <gale@gtk.org>
* glib.h, gstring.c: Add new g_string functions for reading
from file/socket descriptors, and tokenising strings.
Added various g_string macros.
1999-04-12 Sebastian Wilhelmi <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>
* glib.h: Moved struct declaration up. Style fixes.
* grand.c: Style fixes. Only try to open /dev/random once.
* tests/rand-test.c (main): New tests; Slight bug fix.
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.
1999-03-15 Sebastian Wilhelmi <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>
* configure.in: Added the macros G_(U)?INT_(8|16|32|64)_FORMAT to
use for printf and (much more important) scanf format strings for
the corresponding GLib types.
* glib.h Added G_(U)?(SHORT|INT|LONG)_FORMAT for consistency. It
however makes no sense to also provide G_(FLOAT|DOUBLE)_FORMAT, as
they are different for printf (f for both) and scanf (f for float,
lf for double). Defining G_INT_FORMAT makes sense however, as we
might want to define gint to something different than int someday
in the future. Idea from Sascha Brawer <sb@adasys.ch>.
Wed Feb 24 00:08:42 CST 1999 Shawn T. Amundson <amundson@gtk.org>
* *.[ch]: inserted additional note to look for ChangeLog and
AUTHORS file for a log of modifications.
1999-02-15 Sebastian Wilhelmi <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>
* glib.h, glibconfig.h.win32, configure.in: Changed signature of
all g_static_mutex_* functions to take a pointer rather than the
struct itself. This is not an issue at the moment, because those
funcs are really macros, but is it un'G'ish and might fall on our
feet in the future.
* gthread/testgthread.c (test_mutexes): Use new signature of
g_static_mutex* functions.
1999-02-10 Sebastian Wilhelmi <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>
* glib.h: s/G_LOCK_DECLARE/G_LOCK_DEFINE/ throuhout glib. Added
G_LOCK_EXTERN macro to declare a lock externally.
Wed Feb 10 07:56:33 1999 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* gmodule.c (g_module_error): fixed errernerous code wrt to thread
specific error string allocation handling.
Wed Feb 10 06:20:30 1999 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* gmutex.c (g_static_private_set): invoke destroy notifier when
overwriting values, initialize new array fields with NULL.
(g_static_private_free_data): do not skip destroy notification for
data == NULL.
* gutils.c (g_direct_equal): compare pointer values directly instead
of just their guint values which is a loosing conversion for
sizeof(gpointer)==8 systems.
(g_get_any_init): restructured code so we don't use endless loops like
while (1), which boil down to an ugly alias for goto.
strip ,.* from the real name.
