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.
Wed Jul 26 12:59:31 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* *.[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.
Wed Jul 26 05:47:48 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* configure.in:
* testglib.c:
* gstrfuncs.c:
* glib.h: added g_strlcat() and g_strlcpy() wrappers, supplied by
David Wheeler <dwheeler@ida.org>:
* glib.h, gstrfuncs.c: added g_strlcpy and g_strlcat to support
safe manipulation of fixed-length string buffers.
These functions were originally developed by Todd Miller to simplify
development of security-related programs, and
are available on many (but not all) Unix-like systems,
including OpenBSD, FreeBSD, and Solaris. See
ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/src/lib/libc/string/strlcpy.3
and http://www.openbsd.org/security.html.
If there's a strlcpy/strlcat on the system, it's called, otherwise
an implementation is provided.
* testglib.c: Added tests for g_strlcpy, g_strlcat.
Wed Jul 26 05:03:24 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* acglib.m4 (GLIB_SIZEOF): include <stdlib.h> and <stddef.h> if
STDC_HEADERS is defined.
* glib.h:
* glibconfig.h: define gsize and gssize in terms of GLIB_SIZEOF_SIZE_T
* glib.h (g_return_if_reached): applied darin's fix for copy'n
paste error in the macro implementation.
2000-07-22 Tor Lillqvist <tml@iki.fi>
* build-dll: Fix resource handling, the resource file got left out
from the DLL after all... Remove the WIN32APIHEADERS, not needed
with current windres.
* glib.def: Add new functions.
2000-07-20 Sebastian Wilhelmi <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>
* gutils.c, glib.h: Mark the functions g_basename and g_dirname
deprecated. They will issue an warning once, when compiled with
G_ENABLE_DEBUG, but continue to work as before. Instead the
functions g_path_get_basename and g_path_get_dirname should be
used, which BOTH return newly allocated memory, that has to freed
by g_free. The new g_path_get_basename now strips trailing slashes
from the path. This fixes#5097. For discussion see
http://mail.gnome.org/pipermail/gtk-devel-list/2000-April/003139.html
* gwin32.c, testglib.c, tests/dirname-test.c: Use the new
functions instead of the old ones.
* gmodule/libgplugin_a.c, gmodule/testgmodule.c: Use
g_path_get_basename instead of the deprecated g_basename.
2000-07-20 Sebastian Wilhelmi <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>
* ghash.c, gscanner.c, glib.h: Mark the functions
g_hash_table_freeze, g_hash_table_thaw and thus
g_scanner_freeze_symbol_table and g_scanner_thaw_symbol_table
deprecated. They will issue an warning once, when compiled with
G_ENABLE_DEBUG. This fixes Bug #3883. For discussion see
http://mail.gnome.org/pipermail/gtk-devel-list/2000-April/003139.html
2000-07-19 Sebastian Wilhelmi <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>
* configure.in, glib.h: glibconfig.h and glib.h now include files
outside of the extern "C" block. Makes some C++ compiler
happy. Reported by Denis Vakatov <vakatov@peony.nlm.nih.gov>.
* gmodule/gmodule.h: include glib.h before doing extern "C".
Makes some C++ compiler happy. Reported by Denis Vakatov
<vakatov@peony.nlm.nih.gov>.
Sat Jul 15 22:44:22 2000 Owen Taylor <otaylor@redhat.com>
* configure.in: Add build/Makefile and
build/win32/Makefile to AC_OUTPUT() so things build
again.
Sat Jul 15 09:11:46 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* gstrfuncs.c (g_strncasecmp): fixed an off by 0 error (yeah,
the function went off when the while (n--) loop failed due to
n==0 ;), reported by Jean-Louis HAMEL <jlhamel@club-internet.fr>.
2000-07-15 Tor Lillqvist <tml@iki.fi>
* Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Include the "build" module in GLib, too,
to make it more self-contained. If your CVS client doesn't
automatically get it, do a cvs get build in glib.
* */makefile.mingw.in: Include make.mingw from build in the glib
source directory.
Fri Jul 14 12:22:49 2000 Owen Taylor <otaylor@redhat.com>
* configure.in Makefile.am glib-config.m4 glib.m4: Move
glib-config to glib-config-2.0 move glib.m4 to
glib-2.0.m4
* Makefile.am gobject/Makefile.am gmodule/Makefile.am
gthread/Makefile.am tests/Makefile.am: Change
library names to libglib-1.3.la, etc, so that we
can distinguish glib-1.2 and glib-2.0 on the linkline.
* Makefile.am gobject/Makefile.am gmodule/Makefile.am:
Move include files into /usr/include/glib-2.0.
Thu Jul 6 18:54:49 2000 Owen Taylor <otaylor@redhat.com>
* docs/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove info files
from the build.
2000-07-14 Tor Lillqvist <tml@iki.fi>
* glib.def: Add g_error functions.
* makefile.mingw.in: Add gbacktrace.o.
* gbacktrace.c: No need to include <process.h>.
2000-07-12 Havoc Pennington <hp@redhat.com>
* glib.h: #include <gerror.h>
* Makefile.am (include_HEADERS): Add gerror.h
(libglib_la_SOURCES): Add gbacktrace.c
* gbacktrace.c: Move g_on_error_query() in here (moved on the
server, so history is preserved)
* gerror.h: GError interface
* gerror.c: GError implementation replaces stuff that's now in
gbacktrace.c
Sun Jul 9 21:21:46 2000 Owen Taylor <otaylor@redhat.com>
* genums.[ch]: Move string.h include into the .c file
instead of where it was in the .h file by mistake.
Sun Jul 9 21:20:45 2000 Owen Taylor <otaylor@redhat.com>
* gunicode.h: Include stddef.h instead of stdlib.h
2000-07-08 Tor Lillqvist <tml@iki.fi>
* glib.h (GLIB_VAR): Rename the GUTILS_C_VAR macro to GLIB_VAR.
* gunicode.h: Mark the g_utf8_skip array with GLIB_VAR.
* glib.def: Add two missing entry points.
Thu Jul 6 15:35:28 2000 Owen Taylor <otaylor@redhat.com>
* Release 1.3.1
* Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Dist fixes.
* configure.in: Moderate the warnings just a little bit.
Mon Jul 3 17:18:19 2000 Owen Taylor <otaylor@redhat.com>
* glib.h: Comment g_get_codeset() out of the header file
temporarily. (Very similar to g_get_charset(), need
to resolve the two.)
Thu Jun 29 15:57:28 2000 Owen Taylor <otaylor@redhat.com>
* NEWS: updated
* Makefile.am: added snapcheck target to go along with snapshot
* gstring.c glib.h (g_string_hash): Add g_string_hash to
go along with g_string_equal.
Tue Jun 27 12:40:23 EDT 2000 David A. Wheeler <dwheeler@dwheeler.com>
* glib.h: Added g_string_equal for comparing GStrings;
changed g_str_equal so it returns gboolean (instead of gint).
* gstring.c: Modified GString implementation to support embedded
ASCII NUL ('\0') characters, and implemented g_string_equal.
* testglib.c tests/string-test.c: Added tests for g_string_equal
and tests for proper handling of embedded ASCII NUL characters.
Fri Jun 23 17:20:26 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* glib.h: define gstring in terms of gchar*. this typedef reflects
the type name of the primitive G_TYPE_STRING in the gobject module.
Sat Jun 24 23:03:04 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* gtype.[hc]: provide G_TYPE_CHAR, G_TYPE_UCHAR, G_TYPE_BOOLEAN,
G_TYPE_INT, G_TYPE_UINT, G_TYPE_LONG, G_TYPE_ULONG, G_TYPE_FLOAT,
G_TYPE_DOUBLE and G_TYPE_STRING fundamental types.
added a GTypeValueTable* pointer to GTypeInfo structure for types
to implement GValue handling functions.
GTypeValueTable contains the following members:
value_init(): initialize a GValue structure.
value_free(): free GValue structure contents (optional).
value_copy(): copy one GValue contents to another GValue structure of
collect_type: varargs collection type for the first variable argument
to be collected by collect_value().
collect_value(): variable arguments collection function (optional).
lcopy_type: varargs collection type for the first variable argument
to be location copyied by lcopy_value().
lcopy_value(): variable arguments location copy function (optional).
g_type_value_table_peek(): new function to retrive the GTypeValueTable*
for a type node. ValueTables get inherited from parent types, unless
overridden through the GTypeInfo structure. internally, GTypeValueTable
support means an added overhead of one pointer per static or used
dynamic type node.
g_type_add_class_cache_func(): provide a cache_func/data pair to be
called prior to a type nodes last_unref() function, this can be used
to prevent premature class destruction. multiple installed cache_func()
will be chained upon last_unref() untill one of them returns TRUE.
the cache_func()s have to check the type id passed in to figure whether
they actually wants to cache the class of this type (since any types are
routed through the cache_func() chain).
g_type_remove_class_cache_func(): remove a previously installed
cache_func/data pair. the cache maintained by this function has to be
clear when calling g_type_remove_class_cache_func() to avoid leaks.
g_type_class_unref_uncached(): class unref function for cache_func()
implementations, unreferences a class omitting the cache chain (and
therefore unref->cache->unref->... loops).
* gvaluetypes.[hc]: provide the value setters/getters for the primitive
fundamental types boolean, char, uchar, int, uint, long, ulong, float,
double and string.
* gvalue.[hc]: provide G_TYPE_IS_VALUE() in terms of whether a
GTypeValueTable is provided for this type.
removed g_value_init_default(), g_value_validate(), g_value_defaults(),
g_value_set_default() and g_values_cmp() as these are supplied by the
GParamSpec API now.
moved g_values_exchange() into the "implementation details" section,
since it just provides the underlying functionality for
g_value_convert().
* gvaluecollector.h: renamed the varargs value container from
GParamCValue to GTypeCValue as the value collection methods are
supplied by the type system now.
G_PARAM_COLLECT_VALUE() and G_PARAM_LCOPY_VALUE() got renamed to
G_VALUE_COLLECT() and G_VALUE_LCOPY() and operate without a
GParamSpec structure now.
* genums.h: macros cleanups/fixes.
* genum.c: provide G_TYPE_ENUM and G_TYPE_FLAGS type
and assorted g_value_{s|g}et_{enum|flags}() implementations.
* gobject.[hc]:
provide G_IS_VALUE_OBJECT(), G_TYPE_OBJECT ValueTable methods
and g_value_{s|g}et_object().
* gparam.[hc]: reduced class to value_set_default(),
value_validate() and values_cmp(). also parameters now need to fill
in a GType value_type; field to indicate the GValue type they
are handling. provide g_param_value_set_default(),
g_param_value_defaults(), g_param_value_validate() and
g_param_values_cmp().
* gparamspecs.[hc]: got rid of the g_value_* functions and
the G_IS_VALUE_* macros. adapted param spec implementations
according to the GParamSpecClass changes.
Wed Jun 21 12:09:03 2000 Owen Taylor <otaylor@redhat.com>
* gunicode.h gutf8.c guniprop.c gunidecomp.[ch] gunichartables.h
Makefile.am glib.h: Initial pass at adding unicode support
functions. A few things still need to be implemented, a bit
of cleanup needs to be done, tests need to be added, and
the docs need to be finished, but this should allow replacing
most or all use of libunicode.
2000-06-06 Tor Lillqvist <tml@iki.fi>
* 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.)
2000-05-30 Tor Lillqvist <tml@iki.fi>
* gutils.c (g_locale_get_codeset): Implement on Win32.
* glib.def: Add g_get_codeset.
* tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): makefile.cygwin* has been
renamed to makefile.mingw*.
Tue May 30 16:01:32 2000 Owen Taylor <otaylor@redhat.com>
* glib.h gutils.c: Move the g_locale_get_codeset() up in the
header file to correspond to to comments about memory
management. Rename to g_get_codeset() to avoid
polluting the g_locale_* namespace, which probably
would have g_locale_get_codeset (GLocale *locale).
Add a doc comment.
Mon May 29 14:10:35 2000 Owen Taylor <otaylor@redhat.com>
* gutils.c (g_locale_get_codeset): Add function to get the
codeset name for the current locale.
* configure.in acconfig.h: Add check for nl_langinfo(CODESET);
2000-05-13 Tor Lillqvist <tml@iki.fi>
* makefile.mingw.in
* tests/makefile.mingw.in
* build-dll: Rename makefile.cygwin(.in) to
makefile.mingw(.in), which better describes what it is. Move the
build of gmodule, gthread and gobject DLLs to makefiles in those
directories. Move resource file handling and build number bump to
build-dll, where it sits much cleaner.
* README.win32
* Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Update accordingly.
* glib.h: Add G_PI, G_PI_2, G_PI_4, G_E, G_LN2, G_LN10 and
G_SQRT2. M_PI etc aren't necessarily in <math.h> in strict ISO C
implementations.
* glib.def: Add g_strcanon.
* gtree.c (g_tree_node_rotate_left): Remove unused variables.
* gwin32.c (g_win32_opendir): Remove unneeded statement.
gmodule:
* makefile.mingw.in: New file, with gmodule stuff
moved from ../makefile.mingw.in.
* Makefile.am: Add to EXTRA_DIST, and add rule to make makefile.mingw.
gobject:
* makefile.mingw.in
* gobject.def
* gobject.rc.in: New files, for Win32 (mingw) build.
* Makefile.am: Add to EXTRA_DIST. Add rules to produce the
corresponding non-*.in files.
* gtype.h: (Win32:) Mark _g_type_fundamental_last for
export/import from DLL.
gthread:
* makefile.mingw.in: New file, with gthread stuff moved from
../makefile.mingw.in.
* Makefile.am: Add to EXTRA_DIST, add rule to build makefile.mingw.
Fri Apr 28 23:54:35 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* setup things for a new sub-library libgobject:
* Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): added gobject
* glib-config.in: feature -lgobject.
* configure.in (AC_OUTPUT): generate gobject/Makefile.
* glib.m4 (AM_PATH_GLIB): feature gobject module.
* glib.spec.in: added %{prefix}/lib/libgobject-1.3.so.*
Fri Apr 28 21:41:49 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* glib.h: added G_STRLOC macro.
G_STRUCT_OFFSET(): signedness corrections.
(G_CSET_DIGITS): list 0-9.
* gscanner.c (g_scanner_config_template): use G_CSET_DIGITS.
* glib.h:
* gstrfuncs.c:
(g_strdown):
(g_strup):
(g_strreverse): return the modified string instead of void, so
calls to these functions can be nested.
(g_strcanon): new function, canonicalizes string according to
a given character set.
Fri Apr 28 19:45:16 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* gasyncqueue.c (g_async_queue_unref): get rid of an unused variable.
2000-05-04 Tor Lillqvist <tml@iki.fi>
* makefile.cygwin.in
* tests/makefile.cygwin.in: Include the common makefile snippet
from ../build/win32.
Maybe CVSROOT/modules should be changed so that the 'build' module
is included within the glib module (and gtk+, and gimp, and maybe
others later), in the same way as the 'macros' module is included
in lots of GNOME CVS modules?
2000-05-02 Tor Lillqvist <tml@iki.fi>
* glib.def: Add new functions.
* makefile.{cygwin,msc}.in (glib_OBJECTS): Add new object files.
* tests/makefile.{cygwin,msc}.in: Add threadpool-test.
* gmodule-win32.c: No need to include <psapi.h>
2000-04-28 Sebastian Wilhelmi <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>
* gasyncqueue.c: New File implementing an asynchronous queue to be
used for asynchronous inter-thread communication.
* gthreadpool.c: New File implementing a thread pool to be used
for distributing work among several threads.
* glib.h: Added the type and function declarations for these two
types.
* tests/threadpool-test.c: New File implementing a test for the
thread pool. This also checks the asynchronous queue underlying
the thread pool.
* tests/Makefile.am: Changed accordingly.
2000-04-26 Sebastian Wilhelmi <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>
* configure.in: Look for both pthread_create and pthread_join in
the thread library. Some systems define one of them, but not both
in libc. Arghh. Now we really start a thread and join it later and
check, whether the thread to actually ran.
2000-04-26 Sebastian Wilhelmi <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>
* glib.h, gcache.c, gtree.c: Changed the 'value' parameter of
g_cache_remove from gpointer to gconstpointer. Dito for the 'key'
parameter of g_tree_lookup and g_tree_remove and the 'data'
parameter of g_tree_serach. This function now takes a function of
type GCompareFunc instead of GSearchFunc.
* glib.h: Removed declaration of GSearchFunc.
* gmem.c: s/GSearchFunc/GCompareFunc/.
2000-04-19 Sebastian Wilhelmi <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>
* glib.h (G_TRYLOCK): Made the debugging G_TRYLOCK call also work
for compilers with funnt G_STMT_(START|END) macros.
* tests/thread-test.c: Implemented a check for that.
2000-04-19 Sebastian Wilhelmi <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>
* gutils.c (g_getenv): Changed the win32 part of this function to
be thread safe and to make the returned environment string
persistent to match the UN*X behavior. This is again a response to
Bug #8983.
* glib.h (G_LOCK_NAME): Removed parentheses around the lock name,
as that seems to cause problems for some compilers and really
isn't necessary.
Wed Apr 19 08:32:32 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* gscanner.c (g_scanner_new): make sure that
scanner->config->cset_skip_characters is "" instead of NULL, so we
don't segfault further on.
