We clean up the detection of if we should do 'real' atomic operations or
mutex-emulated ones with the introduction of a new (public) macro:
G_ATOMIC_LOCK_FREE. If defined, our atomic operations are guaranteed to
be done in hardware.
We need to use __GCC_HAVE_SYNC_COMPARE_AND_SWAP_4 to determine if our
compiler supports GCC-style atomic operations from the gatomic.h header
because we might be building a program against GLib using a different
set of compiler options (or a different compiler) than was used to build
GLib itself.
Unfortunately, this macro is not available on clang, so it has currently
regressed to using the mutex emulation. A bug about that has been
opened here:
http://llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=11174
Take out the half-private g_private_init() stuff and replace it with a
G_PRIVATE_INIT macro that allows specifying a GDestroyNotify.
Expose the GPrivate structure in a public header.
Add a g_private_replace() to (sort of) match the functionality of
g_static_mutex_set().
Improve the documentation.
Deprecate g_private_new().

* configure.in, glib/gatomic.c, glib/gatomic.h: Moved the
assembler functions from gatomic.h to gatomic.c, which makes for
better maintainability. Also use gint instead of gint32 to be able
to use reference counting for ABI-fixed structures with
gint/guint.
* glib/gthread.h: Adapted accordingly.
* tests/atomic-test.c: Updated to test for G_MAXINT and G_MININT.
* glib/glib-overrides.txt, glib/glib-sections.txt,
glib/tmpl/atomic_operations.sgml: Updated according to code changes.
2004-02-26 Sebastian Wilhelmi <seppi@seppi.de>
* glib/gatomic.c, glib/gatomic.h: New files to implement atomic
operations for different platforms. Fixes bug #63621.
* glib/glib.h: Include gatomic.h.
* configure.in: Add test for assembler routines for atomic operations.
* glib/Makefile.am: Add gatomic.c, gatomic.h.
* tests/Makefile.am, tests/atomic-test.c: Unit test for atomic
operations.
* glib/glib-overrides.txt, glib/glib-sections.txt,
glib/glib-docs.sgml, glib/tmpl/atomic_operations.sgml: Add docs
for atomic operations.

* glib/gstrfuncs.[ch]:
* docs/reference/glib/glib-overrides.txt:
* docs/reference/glib/glib-sections.txt:
* docs/reference/glib/tmpl/string_utils.sgml:
Implement and document g_ascii_isxxx.
* tests/strfunc-test.c:
Add tests for g_ascii_isxxx
* glib/guniprop.c (g_unichar_ispunct):
include symbols, not just punctuation.
(g_unichar_isspace): Vertical tab is not
considered whitespace.
* tests/shell-test.c:
Output errors on stderr
2001-05-18 Sebastian Wilhelmi <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>
* glib/glib-overrides.txt, glib/glib-sections.txt,
glib/tmpl/thread_pools.sgml, glib/tmpl/threads.sgml: Updated.
2001-02-23 Sebastian Wilhelmi <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>
* gthread.h (struct _GThread): Change the order to match the order
in g_thread_create().
* gthread.c (g_static_rec_mutex_lock_full): Also do the right
thing (behave like 'depth' calls to g_static_rec_mutex_lock) for a
mutex, that is already locked.
* glib/tmpl/threads.sgml: Big update. Almost ready.
* glib/tmpl/async_queues.sgml: Typo.
* glib/glib-sections.txt: Added g_static_rec_mutex_init,
g_static_rec_mutex_free, g_static_rw_lock_init,
g_static_private_init and g_static_private_free.
* glib/glib-overrides.txt: Added g_thread_yield and g_thread_exit.
1999-12-02 Sebastian Wilhelmi <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>
* glib-sections.txt, tmpl/threads.sgml: Removed
G_THREADS_IMPL_NSPR. Shouldn't be used anyway.
* glib-overrides.txt: New file, that makes most of the thread
related macros look like functions.
* Makefile.am: Added glib-overrides.txt to EXTRA_DIST.
* tmpl/threads.sgml: Minor updates.
