Since an object instance might have a lot of bindings, using a list
might become a performance issue when removing them. Using a simple
hash table guarantees constant time lookup, which is the most common
operation.
GBinding is a simple, opaque object that represents a binding between a
property on a GObject instance (source) and property on another GObject
instance (target).
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=348080
g_object_notify_by_pspec() will emit the "notify" signal on the given
pspec, short-circuiting the hash table lookup needed by
g_object_notify(). The suggested and documented way of using
g_object_notify_by_pspec() is similar to the way of emitting signals
with their ID.
Emission tests (with no handler attached to the notify signal) show a
10-15% speedup over using g_object_notify().

This adds static markers and systemtap tapsets for:
* type creation
* object lifetimes (creation, ref, unref, dispose, finalize)
* signal creation and emission
Signal emissions and finalization marker have a corresponding
*_end (or *-end in dtrace) version that is when the corresponding
operation is finished.

Add a @valuenum@ substitution that outputs the integer value of a
particular enum value. The value is determined by using (sandboxed)
perl to evaluate C expression. If evaluation fails then glib-mkenums
dies loudly. Evaluation is only enabled if '@valuenum@' appears in the
template file, so existing users will not be affected.
Currently, specifying a comment template in the template file results in
the given template being appended to the default (C-style) one rather
than replacing it.
This causes it to be replaced outright.
Bug 617940.
Don't keep the lists of source files for libglib, libgobject and
libgio in the VS project files in addition to the canonical location,
the corresponding Makefile.am files.
Instead, generate the corresponding .vcproj files at make dist time
using the C preprocessor, from template files called .vcprojin. We
still list explicitly in the .vcprojin files some of the
Windows-specific source files, and the sources files of gnulib and
pcre.
This adds the two new functions g_type_add_class_private()
and g_type_class_get_private() and a convenience macro
for the getter G_TYPE_CLASS_GET_PRIVATE().
Appease the MS C++ compiler by using _val instead of __value as a variable

This way we don't need to keep a custom array that we bsearch on (and
that isn't threadsafe) but can use the gtype.c machinery that is
threadsafe. And fast, too!

The reason we need to enforce this is that the GTypeValueTable

value_init function is called.

Makes g_signal_emit_valist from 15% to 20% faster.
Results reported from profiling the pan newsreader which uses a variant
of simple and complex signal emissions (i.e no args or various args)
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=603590
Most callers of G_VALUE_COLLECT previously had to initialize the GValue
and then G_VALUE_COLLECT would still go through a cleanup phase.
The new variant allows passing a unitialized GValue along with a GType
and speedup the initialization/collection process.

If threads are available we always enable threads in gobject, which
means all gio/gobject code can enable the unconditional thread calls.
This is a minor optimization since we avoid a bunch of unnecessary
is-threads-enabled checks.

This works around the need to take a custom mutex twice and add the
object to a GSList of objects that are currently in construction for the
common case. Only when the constructor is overwritten do we use the
previous behavior and allow things like singleton objects.
The only slightly incompatible change is that previously, it was ok to
call g_object_set() on construct-only properties while the object was
initialized. This will now fail. If that behavior is needed, setting a
custom constructor that just chains up will reenable this functionality.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=557151
g_type_default_interface_peek() and g_type_value_table_peek() don't need
to acquire read locks anymore when they test the refcount instead of
node->data.
The function returns TRUE if the type was previously initialized and can
be easily reused. It returns FALSE and does not take a reference if the
type is not referenced yet.
g_type_class_ref() uses this to avoid taking locks in the common path,
which speeds up object creation a lot - in particular in multithreaded
applications.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=585375
This does not change any locking behavior at all, it just replaces
simple getters/setters of the variable with atomic versions.
The ref_count variable was kept as unsigned, even though that requires
casting for all operations, to mirror GObject->refcount.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=585375
Currently interface lookups are do a binary search over all the interfaces
an object implements. Its possible to do this lookup in constant time using for
instance the gcj algorighm described at:
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/java/1999-q3/msg00377.html
This is an implementation of that based on GAtomicArray.
We implement lock free interface lookup by moving the n_ifaces
counter into memory pointed to by TypeNode->iface_entries, and
then updating this in RCU-style by always copying it, modifying
the copy and then when the modification is done replace the old
pointer with g_atomic_pointer_set.
There is one additional complexity when freeing the old memory,
since the old memory region can be in use. To handle this we
don't free such memory, but put it on a free list and reuse it
later. This means that lock-free lookups must be able to
handle the memory being modified in random ways without crashing,
and at the end we verify that the memory didn't change and the
transaction is ok.
With this infrastructure the patch then implements a lock-free
version of type_lookup_iface_entry_L called type_lookup_iface_vtable_I
and use it in: g_type_interface_peek, g_type_interface_peek_parent
and type_node_check_conformities_UorL.
Using the performance tests from bug 557100 shows that the general
performance difference is negligible, but the lack of a lock for each
type check and interface vfunc call should greatly enhance threaded
scalability.
This adds supports for a lock-less a non-shrinking growable array.
You can use it to do reads using no locks, as long as your read-code
can handle that during the read transaction the object can be modified
by another writer (but it will not change size or be freed), and you
can only trust the result once the transaction has finished successfully.
This doesn't free things like RCU normally does, instead it pushes the
memory on a free list that is reused for other atomic arrays.
The n_children variable can be written when locked, while the n_supers
variable is read at any time. As they both share the same bytes,
accessing them is not threadsafe.
This patch puts them into different bytes.
Thanks to Xan Lopez and valgrind for noticing this.
Store whether the object has a toggleref before decrementing the
refcount to prevent race condition when two threads simultaneously
try to unref an object with a refcount of 2.

Commit 789e260638 tried to add support for -?, but there is a typo
and instead -h was added when already present instead of -? for one
of the cases.
It works without this corrections, because all unrecognized options
trigger usage showing as well, but this is more correct.
This was bug 556706 originally.
Tools like clang fail to recognize that stanzas like
g_return_if_fail (GTK_IS_FOO (w)) guarantee w != NULL. By minimally
rewriting the type-checking macros, we can avoid these false positives.
Since @filename@ contains the full filename as given to the glib-mkenum
command, possibly including path elements (e.g. when using a non-srcdir
build), it is unsuitable to use in a #include statement in the generated
file if one wants to distribute it. This patch adds @basename@ which
expands to the base name of the input filename. Bug #587307.
Update various README files to refer to git instead of svn.
Add a README.commits that is pretty much a copy of the same file
in GTK+. Also discontinue ChangeLog files.
