* giowin32.c (buffer_read): The code didn't compile (must
have been sleepy when committing). "return" instead of "break"
(g_io_win32_fd_add_watch): Cannot check if the file descriptor is
readable by calling ReadFile to read zero bytes. ReadFile blocks
on NT even if trying to read nothing at all. So, don't check if
file descriptor is readable; assume this function isn't called
otherwise.

* giowin32.c: Compile in the debugging code all the time, but only
output debug messages if told so. Add (unadvertised) function to
turn on/off debug messages for a channel.
(buffer_read): Don't loop. It is expected behaviour to return a
short read occasionally, for instance when reading from
pipes. It's the calling code that should loop if it *knows* how
much the writer has written.
* tests/gio-test.c: Correct the program's name in the output.
(recv_message): Loop calling g_io_channel_read() (in a new
function read_all()) until we have all the bytes we want (that we
know the writer has written/will write).

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.

* *.[hc]: applied patch from Andreas Persenius <ndap@swipnet.se> that
updates the license headers to the GNU Lesser General Public License,
as well as updating the copyright year to 2000.

* 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.)
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.
* README.win32: More text.
* config.h.win32 glibconfig.h.win32: Update to match the
corresponding generated files on Unix.
* makefile.msc: Update with new source files, and gthread
library. Use the compiler flag -MD instead of using -D_DLL and
"/nodefaultlib:libc msvcrt.lib" in the link phase.
* glib.def: Include new functions, drop removed ones.
* glib.h: Add comments about main loop and polling on Win32. (In
general, it's only for the GIMP's use.) Add Win32 IO Channel
functions. Remove the obsoleted old IO Channel stuff (which was
in #if 0 already).
* giowin32.c: New file.
* gmain.c: Include config.h, conditionalize <sys/time.h>
inclusion. Add g_poll implementation for Win32 (only for the
GIMP's needs for now, it's hard or even impossible to be as clean
and generic as on Unix). Implement g_get_current_time on Win32. If
threads aren't supported, don't try to wake up main thread's
loop. On Win32, use a semaphore and not a pipe to wake up the main
loop.
* gmessages.c: On Win32, allocate a console window if the standard
output handle is invalid before writing to stdout, and reopen stdout
to that console window.
* giochannel.c: Conditionalize unistd.h inclusion. Some indentation
cleanup.
* gstrfuncs.c: Include <signal.h>.
* gutils.c: On Win32, also check the HOMEDRIVE and HOMEPATH
environment variables.
* gmodule-dl.c gmodule-dld.c: In
_g_module_build_path, don't add the "lib" prefix and
".so" or ".sl" suffix if already there.
* gmodule-win32.c: Likewise for the ".dll" suffix.
* gthread-posix.c: Conditionalize <sys/time.h> inclusion.
