As a difference with upstream we need to ensure:
* Include "g-gnulib.h" so the methods get the gnulib namespace.
* xsize.h uses G_MAXSIZE instead of SIZE_MAX and the methods are

By default g_log_default_handler always assumes that stdout
and stderr are file descriptors 1 and 2. On Win32 this isn't
always the case as the win32 API functions AttachConsole and
freopen can be used to dynamically attach GUI applications to
a console and the file descriptors of stderr and stdout will
become different than 1 and 2.
Fix it by using fputs with the FILE directly instead of
using the file descriptors.

Some testutils external symbols are marked semi-internals, other
internals. It is not obvious what guarantees these symbols provide.
However, tests are now installable, and require the ABI stability
that glib provides for the rest of the symbols.
In my case, I would like to introduce g_assert* compat code for older
glib versions, and be able to use the so-called "internal" ABI.
I propose this change to the headers comments to explain the stability
guarantees. Removing the "internal" = you must not use this, in favor
of semi-internal = this is not documented.

This reverts commit 662bf991c0. It is not
a straight up revert because the old commit involved various long since
removed ChangeLog files and we'd end up mudding the patch.
The system_header GCC pragma is breaking warnings in the various
g_return_* macros; GCC stopped warning when using a macro with a return
value in a function that returns void, as well as when using a macro
with no return value in a function that has a non-void return value.
Suppressing this kind of warnings is not a good idea.
Other compilers are unaffected, even ones like Clang with a GCC
compatibility layer.
Given the fact that the original commit was added 14 years ago as a
workaround in the old days of GTK+ 1.2, I think it's safe to drop it.

Many of the append and prepend variants are just thin wrappers

In non-TAP mode, tests that used g_test_skip() were labelled "OK", and

TAP allows you to print the "test plan" (ie, the expected number of
tests" either at the start or the end of the test program, but if you
put it at the end, and the program crashes, automake will complain
"missing test plan", which is confusing to users (particularly since
it prints that *before* it prints that the test program crashed,
suggesting that somehow the lack of test plan was responsible for the
crash or something, rather than vice versa).
Anyway, change it to count the tests ahead of time, and print the test
plan first. Keeping this simple requires disallowing the '-p', '-s',
and '--GTestSkipCount' options when using '--tap' (although we were
already printing the wrong number in the --GTestSkipCount case
anyway).

Normally, recent PCRE behaves as if certain patterns were replaced
by a more "possessive" pattern that gives the same answer for normal
regex matching, but is more efficient. However, the modified pattern
produces fewer results under DFA. If we want the full set of results

If we call time(NULL), then do something (however trivial), then call
g_date_time_new_now_utc(), they do not necessarily share a seconds
value. Let's say the gmtime call takes 2ms. time(NULL) could
return xx:xx:23 when the time is actually xx:xx:23.999999, resulting
in the g_date_time_new_now_utc() happening at xx:xx:24.000001. This is
unlikely, but did happen to me in a parallel build:
GLib:ERROR:.../glib/tests/gdatetime.c:674:test_GDateTime_now_utc: assertion failed (tm.tm_sec == g_date_time_get_second (dt)): (23 == 24)
A similar argument applies to the rollover from xx:23:59.999999 to

is not sufficient; and so on into higher-order fields.

Our signal handler calls write() on a pipe or an eventfd in order to

errno. We even check the case that it fails with EINTR.

This API is done as:
-GetVersion()/GetVersionEx() changed in the way they work since Windows 8.1

further changed or removed after Windows 8.1. This provides a wrapper for
VerfyVersionInfo() as well in GLib for most cases, which was recommended

version checking.
-Provides an OS-level functionality check, for those that we don't need to
venture into GetProcAddress(), and also to determine system API behavior
changes due to differences in OS versions.
Also added a note for the g_win32_get_windows_version() API that since the
behavior of GetVersion() which it uses, is changed since Windows 8.1, users
of the API should be aware.

If a given fd is being polled by multiple sources, we used to pass it
multiple times to g_poll(), which is technically illegal (and not

number of pollfds.
Fix it to merge together "duplicate" GPollFDs. The easiest way to do
this involves re-sorting context->poll_records into fd order rather
than priority order. This means we now have to walk the entire pollrec
list for every g_main_context_query() and g_main_context_poll(),
rather than only walking the list up to the current max_priority.
However, this will only have a noticeable effect if you have tons of
GPollFDs, and we're already too slow in that case anyway because of
other O(n) operations that happen too often. So this shouldn't change
much (and the new poll API will eventually let us be cleverer).

We called getopt() to try to find out of the platform on which we are

following the first filename are considered as further filenames rather
than flags).
This is the default case on BSDs, for example. It is also the case on
GNU systems with the POSIXLY_CORRECT environment variable set.
Unfortunately many of our tools rely on being able to accept commandline
arguments in the non-strict ordering and the code for making these calls
is spread widely (for example in Makefile fragments invoking some of our
build tools).
For this reason we need to revert the getopt() check and only enable
strict POSIX mode in the case that the application explicitly opts into

If a GSource is created, *not* attached to a GMainContext, and then has
child sources added, dropping the last reference to the parent GSource
will leak its references to its child sources. Currently, child sources
are only unreffed when g_source_destroy() is called on the parent.

Document that one must not use the "by id" source APIs with non-existent
IDs. The real justification behind this restriction is that the reuse
of source ids makes it unsafe to call these functions unless you're
absolutely sure that the source exists and it belongs to you. If you
call one of these functions on a source that may already have been
removed then you run the risk of finding someone else's source (with
your reused id).
This also bails us out of a slightly tricky situation with respect to
the threadsafety of g_main_context_find_source_by_id(). The fact that
this function doesn't return a reference implies that its return value
cannot be safely accessed unless we already know for sure that a
reference is being held elsewhere (by example, by the main context
itself if we know that the source has not been removed). The function
itself, however, performs an access to the value, which could result in
a crash.
If we mandate that it is only valid to call this function on
known-to-exist source IDs then we dodge this problem.

This confused me for a while, because it isn't the same as D-Bus.
Like GVariant, the D-Bus serialization needs an out-of-band
endianness and type indicator, but unlike GVariant, serialized
D-Bus objects encapsulate their own length (often by starting with
a byte-count). This does come at some redundancy cost, so I can see
why the more efficient GVariant format does this the way it does;
but it's a difference between D-Bus and GVariant that seems worth
calling out.
It's also relevant for the designers of file or message-framing
formats: with D-Bus serialization it would be feasible to say "the file
starts with a little-endian D-Bus variant, followed by...",
but in GVariant you wouldn't be able to deserialize the variant
unless you either assume that it extends to end-of-file, or have
an explicit length.

Practically no caller of these functions require atomic behaviour,
but the atomics are much slower than normal operations, which makes
it desirable to get rid of them. We have not done this before because
that would be a break of the ABI.
However, I recently looked into this and it seems that even if the
atomics *are* used for g_clear_* it is not ever safe to use this. The
atomics protects two threads that are racing to free a global/shared
object from freeing the object twice. However, any *user* of the global
object have no protection from the object being freed while in use,
because there is no paired operation the reads and refs the object
as an atomic unit (nor can such an operation be implemented using
purely atomic ops).
So, since nothing could safely have used the atomic aspects of these
functions I consider it acceptable to just remove it.

Detect the following two errors:
- attempting to unlock a mutex that is not locked
- attempting to clear a mutex that was not initialised or was
initialised but is still locked
Both of these are fatal errors. We avoid using g_error() here because
doing so would involve calls back into the GMutex code, and if things
are going off the rails then we want to avoid that.

If we have futex(2) then we can implement GMutex natively and gain a
substantial performance increase (vs. using pthreads).
This also avoids the need to allocate an extra structure in memory when
using GMutex or GCond: we can use the structure directly.
The main reason for the increase in performance is that our
implementation can be made more simple: we don't need to support the
array of options on pthread_mutex_t (which includes the possibility, for
example, of being recursive).
The result is a ~30% improvement in uncontended cases and a much larger
increase (3 to 4 times) in contended cases for a simple testcase.

When GLib had been told to expect message X, but then actually saw
message Y, it would log the "did not see expected message" error with
message Y's log level and domain, which makes no sense. Change it to
log with domain "GLib" and G_LOG_LEVEL_CRITICAL instead.
Also, include the expected domain in the error message, so that if
that's the reason why the expectation didn't match, you can tell that
from the error message.
Update glib/tests/testing.c for these changes; for all other test
programs in GLib and elsewhere, this change should not break any

Our internal call to g_io_channel_read_line_backend() may return
G_IO_STATUS_ERROR, in which case two things will be true:
- the GError will have been set (if appropriate)
- the &got_length return value may not have been set
Since it's our convention to leave 'out' parameters untouched in
exception cases, this is perfectly fine. Unfortunately,
g_io_channel_read_line(), in wrapping this internal function, always
promotes the length parameter, even in the case of error.
Stop doing that in order to avoid overwriting the callers's variable
with junk in the error case.

Move width table generation into the gen-unicode-tables.pl script. This makes
updating the tables automatic without the previously required manual editing
required to insert the tables in the right place of the source code.
memcmp() is declared by glibc as follows:
/* Compare N bytes of S1 and S2. */
extern int memcmp (const void *__s1, const void *__s2, size_t __n)
__THROW __attribute_pure__ __nonnull ((1, 2));
despite the fact that it is valid to call it with a null pointer if the
size is zero.
gcc 4.9.0 contains a new optimisation that sees that we pass a pointer
to this function and concludes that it certainly must not be null,
removing a later check and thereby causing a crash.
We protect the invocation of memcmp() with a condition to prevent gcc
from making this false assumption (arguably under wrong advice from
glibc).
The code in g_wakeup_signal() is currently correct: it writes a 64-bit
counter increment value if the FD is an eventfd, and writes an arbitrary
8-bit value if using a normal pipe.
However, the reasoning behind these buffer sizes is not clear, and the
mismatch between the allocated buffer size and the length passed to
write() in the pipe case could be mistaken for a bug.

GCC does not yet support ISO C11 atomic operations, but it has
compatible versions available as an extension. Use these for load and

For now we use the fully seqentially-consistent memory model, since
these APIs are documented rather explicitly: "This call acts as a full
compiler and hardware memory barrier".
In the future we can consider introducing new APIs for the more relaxed
memory models, if they are available (or fall back to stricter ones
otherwise).

Simplify our tracking of issued source id integers and fix some bugs.
Previously the source's id was remove from the 'used' table from
source_remove_from_context() which was also called if the source

table). The source id could be reissued in that case.
In the new approach, we just always keep a hash table of sources, by
source id. This simplifies the logic and will also allow us to improve
performance of g_main_context_find_source_by_id() which is called in some
fairly common cases, such as g_source_remove(). These improvements will be in

We've had a relatively rocky path with g_cond_wait_until() on systems
that either don't support pthread_condattr_setclock() or where
g_get_monotonic_time() is not based on CLOCK_MONOTONIC (ie: Android and
Mac OS).
Fortunately, both of these platforms seem to share
pthread_cond_timedwait_relative_np() which allows us to implement
g_cond_wait_until() without races.
With this patch, we now require that one of pthread_condattr_setclock()
or pthread_cond_timedwait_relative_np() exists. A quick look around
suggests that this is true for all platforms that we care about.
This patch removes our use of pthread_cond_timedwait_monotonic() and
pthread_cond_timedwait_monotonic_np() which were Android-only APIs.

We now assume the existence of clock_gettime() and CLOCK_MONOTONIC as

monotonic time, which will prevent problems in the case that the user
changes the time.
Mac OS doesn't have clock_gettime() but it does have
mach_absolute_time(), so we can use that there.
We keep our Windows case as well (although we should simplify it once XP
hits EOL later this year).
This patch removes the fallback to gettimeofday() in case of missing
clock_gettime(). We no longer have any way to test this codepath and
therefore it must go.
