I love Emacs keyboard macros, used them to convert the list of

- It's not sufficient, there are other bare array types
like guint8, gdouble, etc.
- Other types like GVariant* always come as pointers, whereas
there's a rather fundamental distinction between "gchar" and
"gchar*" that has been signified to C programmers for 30+ years via
the '*' character, and we're hiding that.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=744747
The g_autoptr() being associated with the type name works out really
well for things like GHashTable. However, it's a bit more awkward to
associate with "gchar". Also because one can't use "char".
Similarly, there are a lot of other "bare primitive array" types that
one might reasonably use.
This patch does not remove the autoptr for "gchar", even though I
think it's rather awkward and strange.
Also while we're here, add a test case for the cleanup bits.

Despite linked lists being a fairly fundamental computer science

This is necessary as we are using _GLIB_AUTOPTR_TYPENAME and

Add g_auto() and g_autoptr() as helpers for declaring variables with
automatic cleanup.
Add some macros to help types define cleanup functions for themselves.
Going forward it will be an expectation that people use this macro when
creating a new type, even if they do not intend to use the auto-cleanup
functionality for themselves.
These new macros only work on GCC and clang, which is why we resisted
adding them for so long. There exist many people who are only
interested in writing programs for these compilers, however, and a
similar API in libgsystem has proven to be extremely popular, so let's
expose this functionality to an even wider audience.
We ignore deprecation warnings when emitting the free functions, which
seems suspicious. The reason that we do this is not because we want to
call deprecated functions, but just the opposite: sometimes the free
function will be an _unref() function that is only AVAILABLE_IN newer
versions, and these warnings are also implemented as deprecation
warnings.

This adds a public API where one can use to see whether the running version
of Windows where the code is run is at least the specified version, service
pack level, and the type (non-server, server, any) of the running Windows
OS.
This API is done as:
-GetVersion()/GetVersionEx() changed in the way they work since Windows 8.1
[1][2], so a newer mechanism to check the version of the running Windows
operating system is needed. MSDN also states that GetVersion() might be
further changed or removed after Windows 8.1. This provides a wrapper for
VerfyVersionInfo() as well in GLib for most cases, which was recommended
in place of g_win32_get_windows_version() for more detailed Windows
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.

We intend to keep the list of poll records sorted by (integer) file

It simplifies a little bit some code that inserts data relative to a

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
supported by the select()-based fallback implementation of poll() in
gpoll.c), and also made it more likely that we'd exceed the maximum
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).
Remove some win32-specific code which did the same thing (but was
O(n^2)).

We called getopt() to try to find out of the platform on which we are
running defaults to strict POSIX-style argument handling (ie: flags
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
it using the _set_strict_posix() API.
This also fixs a failure to build on Windows due to missing getopt().

With this patch it is fine to call g_hash_table_lookup and

Add a "posixly correct" mode to GOption to stop parsing arguments as
soon as the first non-option argument is encountered.
We determine the default value on the basis of duplicating the behaviour
of the system getopt() implementation (which we directly check the
behaviour of at runtime). On GNU systems this allows the user to modify
our behaviour using POSIXLY_CORRECT.
The user can change the value by g_option_context_set_strict_posix(),
which might be useful for some usecases of GOptionContext (as mentioned
in the doc string of this new function).

Step up thread safety on g_source_set_name() to the same standard as all

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

Both of these are fatal errors. We avoid using g_error() here because

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

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

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

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.

Simplify our tracking of issued source id integers and fix some bugs.
Previously the source's id was remove from the 'used' table from

In the new approach, we just always keep a hash table of sources, by

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
specified by POSIX.1-2001. This means that we always return truly
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.
This patch also restructures the #ifdef a bit so that we repeat the
entire function definition inside of #ifdef instead of just the entire
body of one function.

g_assert_true(), g_assert_false(), g_assert_null(), and
g_assert_nonnull() simply printed out the expression they were
checking, without any further explanation of what went wrong. (In
particular, "g_assert_true(x)" and "g_assert_false(x)" would both
print the same thing on failure.) Add a little bit more context.

We have a configure.ac check for lib.exe that attempts to enable
creation of .lib files for our 5 public libraries. That has been broken
for a long time for two reasons:
1) the Makefiles hardcode 'lib' instead of 'lib.exe'
2) we dropped generation of .def files quite some time ago (except for
in gthread where we have the two-symbol file under version control)
Add new rules for creating .def files from dumpbin.exe (which you should
have if you have lib.exe) and fix the .lib rules to use lib.exe.
Add a bit of $(AM_V_GEN) all around, as well.

Since we are no longer using sgml mode, using /* */ to
escape block comments inside examples does not work anymore.
Switch to using line comments with //
If we used a non-positive pid, we'd call waitpid(that_pid, ...)
which is exactly the situation this function can't deal with.
On Windows, GPid is a HANDLE (pointer), so I don't think the same thing
applies.

In particular, it is not incorrect to g_return_if_fail (..., FALSE)
in a function returning a "success" gboolean and a GError: "failure to
meet the preconditions is an error" takes precedence over the
GError documentation's guarantee that the error will be set on failure.

Since all element markup is now gone from the doc comments,
we can turn off the gtk-doc sgml mode, which means that from
now on, docbook markup is no longer allowed in doc comments.
To make this possible, we have to replace all remaining
entities in doc comments by their replacement text, & -> &
and so on.
We are a bit too aggressive about freeing memory in strv mode. Only
free it in the case that we actually set the pointer to NULL.
Uncovered by the GApplication tests.
Slightly expand on the documentation about casting varargs when
constructing GVariants, and link to it from all the functions where it’s
a necessary consideration.
Add an example of passing flags to a ‘t’ type variable (guint64).
Assuming the flags enum does not have many members, the flag variable
will be 32 bits wide, and needs an explicit cast to be passed into
g_variant_new() as a 64-bit value.

We need to re-get the size of tzi.DaylightName before we call
RegQueryValue() because the buffer might not have enough room to hold the
value for tzi.DaylightName that would be acquired by RegQueryValueExA(),
even though the size of tzi.DaylightName and tzi.StandardName is the same.
This is a pitfall of RegQueryValue()[1] as not doing this can result in an
ERROR_MORE_DATA (234) failure, causing the acquisition of tzi.DaylightName
to fail.
This will fix the gdatetime/equal test, amongst some other tests in
gdatetime, at least on certain non-English version of Windows.

GLib has a pervasive assumption that function and data pointers are
basically interchangeable, which is true in all modern ABIs,
but not actually guaranteed by ISO C. If someone tries to use GLib on a
platform where function and data pointers are different sizes, fail early.

It is possible (but unlikely) that there will be a non-empty list of

Make sure we drop the refs on the sources appropriately.

Add a note to the overview documentation for GOptionContext about why
you need to be careful about argv encoding on UNIX and about why you
should avoid argv entirely on Windows. Mention some possible
alternative approaches, including a code example.

This returns the command line in GLib filename encoding format (ie:
UTF-8) for use with g_option_context_parse_strv().
This will allow parsing of Unicode commandline arguments on Windows,
even if the characters in those arguments fall outside of the range of
the system codepage.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=722025
Add another difference to the freshly-added g_option_context_parse_strv:
now, on Windows, its arguments on to be in UTF-8 instead of the argv[]
encoding (from the system codepage).
The documentation teases g_win32_get_command_line() which is a new
GLib-filename-encoding-based function that will be added in a following
commit.

Use the new g_option_context_parse_strv() to patch up some leaks in some
insufficiently-argv-emulating testcases in option-context.c.
This gives some test coverage of the new function while also making
option-context now leak-free.

Add g_option_context_parse_strv() that obeys the normal memory conventions for
dealing with a strv instead of assuming that we're dealing with the 'argv'
parameter to main().
This will help for using GOptionContext with GApplication.

The names of the month (and abbreviations) are specific to the Windows
