Wed Mar 7 15:02:17 2001 Owen Taylor <otaylor@redhat.com>
* gobject/Makefile.am: Revert Tim's last commit to
get rid of 7+ unnecessary / broken changes. Add
back the useful part. Also fix problem with grep,
add dependency on template files.
* gobject/gobject-sections.txt: Remove double
value_types names which was screwing up builds.
* glib/Makefile.am: Propagate changes from
gobject/Makefile.am
C2001-03-07 Sebastian Wilhelmi <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>
* glib/tmpl/threads.sgml: Completed.
VS: ----------------------------------------------------------------------
Wed Mar 7 09:36:33 2001 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* gboxed.[hc]: changed prototype of g_boxed_type_register_static()
to contain an optional init function and a hint at whether the
boxed structure uses ref counting internally.
added g_value_set_boxed_take_ownership().
made G_TYPE_BOXED an abstract value type.
* genums.[hc]: made G_TYPE_ENUM and G_TYPE_FLAGS abstract value
types.
* glib-genmarshal.c: argument type changes, preparation for third-party
arg specification.
* gobject.[hc]: cleaned up get/set property code.
added g_strdup_value_contents() to improve warnings.
* gparam.[hc]: added g_param_value_convert(), taking over responsibility
of the old g_value_convert(). added G_PARAM_LAX_VALIDATION flag so
validation alterations may be valid a part of the property setting
process.
* gparamspecs.[hc]: made value comparisons stable (for sort applications).
added GParamSpecValueArray, a param spec for value arrays and
GParamSpecClosure. nuked the value exchange functions and
GParamSpecCCallback.
* gtype.[hc]: catch unintialized usages of the type system with
g_return_val_if_uninitialized(). introduced G_TYPE_FLAG_VALUE_ABSTRACT
to flag types that introduce a value table, but can't be used for
g_value_init(). cleaned up reserved type ids.
* gvalue.[hc]: code cleanups and saner checking.
nuked the value exchange API. implemented value transformations, we
can't really "convert" values, rather transforms are an anylogy to
C casts, real conversions need a param spec for validation, which is
why g_param_value_convert() does real conversions now.
* gvaluearray.[hc]: new files that implement a GValueArray, a struct
that can hold inhomogeneous arrays of value (to that extend that it
also allowes undefined values, i.e. G_VALUE_TYPE(value)==0).
this is exposed to the type system as a boxed type.
* gvaluetransform.c: new file implementing most of the former value
exchange functions as single-sided transformations.
* gvaluetypes.[hc]: nuked G_TYPE_CCALLBACK, added
g_value_set_string_take_ownership().
* *.h: s/G_IS_VALUE_/G_VALUE_HOLDS_/.
* *.[hc]: many fixes and cleanups.
* many warning improvements.
Tue Feb 27 18:35:15 2001 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* gobject.c (g_object_get_valist): urg, pass G_VALUE_NOCOPY_CONTENTS
into G_VALUE_LCOPY(), this needs proper documenting.
* gparam.c: fixed G_PARAM_USER_MASK.
* gtype.c (type_data_make_W):
(type_data_last_unref_Wm): fixed invalid memory freeing.
* gobject.c (g_object_last_unref): destroy signal handlers associated
with object, right before finalization.
* gsignal.c (g_signal_parse_name): catch destroyed nodes or signals
that don't actually support details.
* gobject.[hc]: got rid of property trailers. nuked GObject
properties "data" and the "signal" variants.
(g_object_connect): new convenience function to do multiple
signal connections at once.
(g_object_disconnect): likewise, for disconnections.
* gparam.[hc] (g_param_spec_pool_lookup): took out trailer support.
* gvalue.[hc]: marked g_value_fits_pointer() and g_value_peek_pointer()
as private (the latter got renamed from g_value_get_as_pointer()).
Wed Mar 7 09:32:06 2001 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* glib-object.h: add gvaluearray.h.
* gstring.[hc]: fixup naming of g_string_sprint*.
* gtypes.h: fixed GCompareDataFunc naming.
Wed Mar 7 09:33:27 2001 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* gobject/Makefile.am: shuffled rules to avoid excessive
rebuilds.
* gobject/gobject-sections.txt: updates.
* gobject/tmpl/*: bunch of updates, added another patch
from Eric Lemings <eric.b.lemings@lmco.com>.
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.
Mon Feb 19 07:32:38 2001 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* glib-config-2.0.in (lib_glib): my name is glib-config-2.0!
don't exit with errorcode!=0 for --help or -h.
* Makefile.am:
* configure.in: build glib-config-2.0.
Sat Feb 17 04:55:35 2001 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* gtype.[hc]: changed collect_format, collect_value() and lcopy_format,
lcopy_value() in the GTypeValueTable. the collect functions are now
called only once per value, collect_format/lcopy_format are strings
that enlist all necessary GTypeCValues to be varargs-collected.
* gvalue.h: ranamed STATIC_TAG to G_VALUE_NOCOPY_CONTENTS to indicate that
a value shouldn't copy its contents.
* gvaluecollector.h: changed G_VALUE_COLLECT() and G_VALUE_LCOPY()
macros to carry an additional argument (flags) that can be used
to pass G_VALUE_NOCOPY_CONTENTS along to the collection functions.
* *.c: adapted collect_value() and lcopy_value() functions to the new
prototypes, support G_VALUE_NOCOPY_CONTENTS where apropriate.
* gsignal.[hc]: introduced a G_SIGNAL_TYPE_STATIC_SCOPE flag that can
be passed along (ORed) with the parameter types, indicating that the
emission arguments are to be considered static for the scope of the
emission. should be used with care and only if the caller knows that
a parameter cannot be destroyed/freed from signal handlers connected
to an emission.
Fri Feb 16 06:52:20 2001 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* gobject/tmpl/types.sgml: incorporated huge docu patch from Eric
Lemings <eric.b.lemings@lmco.com> with a bunch of editing on my part.
Fri Feb 16 07:10:44 2001 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* gclosure.c:
(g_closure_ref):
(g_closure_sink): make closure sinking explicit.
* gsignal.c:
(g_signal_connect_data):
(g_signal_connect_closure):
(g_signal_connect_closure_by_id):
(g_signal_newv): perform explicit closure sinking.
Thu Feb 8 00:31:45 2001 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* gtype.h: added G_TYPE_DEBUG_NONE for/from Eric Lemings ;)
Sun Feb 4 07:38:32 2001 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* docs/debugging.txt: s/glib_trap_/g_trap_/. add comments on
g_trap_instance_signals, g_trace_instance_signals and
GRUNTIME_DEBUG.
* gmem.c: s/glib_trap_/g_trap_/.
Sun Feb 4 07:30:53 2001 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* gtype.[hc]: changed g_type_init() to take debugging flags
initially, a combination of G_TYPE_DEBUG_OBJECTS and
G_TYPE_DEBUG_SIGNALS. using the G_TYPE_ prefix is a bit odd
here, but basically g_type_int() serves as initialization
fucntion for all of GType, GObject, GSignal, so what the heck.
* gobject.c: special case debugging code properly.
changed glib_trap_object_ref to g_trap_object_ref.
* gsignal.c: add signal emission debugging abilities, along with
a new trap object g_trap_instance_signals.
2001-02-01 Sebastian Wilhelmi <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>
* gthread.c, gthread.h: Added g_static_mutex_init to allow
initialization of a GStaticMutex, that can not be initialized with
G_STATIC_MUTEX_INIT, for example in allocated structures.
* glib/tmpl/threads.sgml, glib/glib-sections.txt: Added
documentation for g_static_mutex_init().
WCVS: ----------------------------------------------------------------------
Wed Jan 31 07:14:22 2001 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* gobject/Makefile.am: adapt to work with new CVS gtk-doc, leaving the old
rules in place caused bogus recursions. main changes:
- add to conditionalized section:
all-local:
$(MAKE) scan
$(MAKE) templates
$(MAKE) sgml
$(MAKE) html.stamp
html.stamp: sgml.stamp $(EXTRA_SGML_FILES)
$(MAKE) html
DOC_STAMPS= html.stamp sgml.stamp
- change:
maintainer-clean-local: clean
- cd $(srcdir) && rm -rf sgml html $(DOC_MODULE)-decl-list.txt $(DOC_MODULE)-decl.txt
+ cd $(srcdir) && rm -rf sgml html $(DOC_MODULE)-decl-list.txt $(DOC_MODULE)-decl.txt $(DOC_STAMPS)
* glib/Makefile.am (maintainer-clean-local): dito.
Wed Jan 31 06:21:32 2001 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* gobject/tmpl/types.sgml: applied docu patch from Eric Lemings
<eric.b.lemings@lmco.com>, did some more editing.
Wed Jan 31 06:19:49 2001 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* gparam.h: gtk-doc sucks for not dealing with #define inside enums.
* gtype.[hc]: added G_TYPE_FLAG_RESERVED_ID_BIT, a bit in the type
number that's supposed to be left untouched (preserved mainly
for the signal code).
* *.c: added thread safety code, based on an old patch from sebastian.
the remaining thread safety issues are now datalists on pspecs (to be
solved im gdataset.c) and gvalue.c where locking concerns value exchange
functionality only, and that's soon to be revised.
2001-01-30 Sebastian Wilhelmi <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>
* gthread/gthread-impl.c (g_thread_init_with_errorcheck_mutexes): Call
g_thread_impl_init(), as g_thread_init won't call it.
* glib/glib-sections.txt, glib/tmpl/threads.sgml: Added
g_static_mutex_free
* gthread.c, gthread.h: Added g_static_mutex_free to allow using
GStaticMutexes with limited lifetime without leaking.
* configure.in: GStaticMutex doesn't have to provide extra space
for debugging information for G_ERRORCHECK_MUTEXES, as then the
non-default implementation (runtime_mutex) is used anyway.
Tue Jan 9 03:10:38 2001 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* gobject/tmpl/types.sgml: added some function documentations.
* gobject/gobject-sections.txt: buncha fixups.
Fri Dec 29 14:53:18 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* configure.in: we can't grow _cv_ variables by using a backticked
expr that refers back to the variable (glib_cv_sizeof_system_thread for
G_THREAD_USE_PID_SURROGATE), that'd keep the variable growing every time
it's evaluated. quantum states, anyone?)
Thu Dec 28 10:21:46 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* gmem.[hc]: got rid of outdated dmalloc support. provide g_try_malloc()
and g_try_realloc() which _may_ fail and return NULL.
nuked g_mem_check(), provided GMemVTable for memory function
virtualization, alterable at program startup with g_mem_set_vtable().
provided glib_mem_profiler_table and g_mem_profile() to support limited
profiling information out of the box (uses mprotect() for free()ed areas
on linux).
provide globally visible G_MEM_ALIGN.
buncha cleanups.
* docs/macros.txt: file to get a clue about the various configuration
macros.
* docs/debugging.txt: explain debugging traps.
* configure.in: got rid of --enable-mem-check and --enable-mem-profile,
define GLIB_SIZEOF_VOID_P and GLIB_SIZEOF_LONG. check malloc prototypes
and define SANE_MALLOC_PROTOS is we can use them.
<boy, is this file a mess>
* gutils.c, gscanner.c: fix up compatibility warnings, use g_message().
Thu Dec 28 11:36:44 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* gbsearcharray.c (upper_power2): disable G_BSEARCH_ALIGN_POWER2
fucntionality if DISABLE_MEM_POOLS is defined.
* gtype.c: honour DISABLE_MEM_POOLS.
* gsignal.c (g_signal_init): flag signal key bsearch array with
G_BSEARCH_ALIGN_POWER2 to avoid excessive growth time. honour
DISABLE_MEM_POOLS.
* gparam.h: added G_PARAM_READWRITE alias for (G_PARAM_READABLE |
G_PARAM_WRITABLE).
2000-12-24 Ali Abdin <aliabdin@aucegypt.edu>
* Makefile.am, gcompat.h, glib.h: New gcompat.h header file
as recommended by Havoc.
* gdate.c, gdate.h, testgdate.c,
docs/reference/glib/glib-sections.txt,
docs/reference/glib/tmpl/date.sgml, tests/date-test.c: Rename some
of the gdate functions to use the '_get' in their name. Patch
reviewed by Havoc.
2000-12-22 Sebastian Wilhelmi <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>
* configure.in: Determine the suffix of the shared librarries for
this system. This is done analogous to
ltconfig.sh. G_MODULE_SUFFIX in glibconfig.h is set to either
"sl", "dll", or (most often) "so".
* tests/Makefile.am, tests/module-test.c,
tests/libmoduletestplugin_a.c, tests/libmoduletestplugin_b.c:
Added new testcase for gmodule. This is mostly copied from
gmodule/testgmodule.c, but unlike that is is quiet. (Why BTW are
some tests that verbose, not to say loquacious...)
* gmodule.c: Make g_module_open more tolerant wrt to the module
name. First it tries to open the module as named, if that fails,
it checks, whether it is a libtool archive and parses it, if that
fails it appends the systems shared library suffix
(i.e. ".so") (if not already found) and tries again and if that
fails it tries to append the ".la" libtool suffix (if not already
found) and parses it.
* gmodule.c: Lock recursive mutex during most module functions for
safety.
* gmodule-dl.c: Return an error from _g_module_symbol only, if
dlerror says so. All other functions return an error as well, if
dlerror returns NULL.
* testgmodule.c: Thanks to the above change the #ifdefs have
vanished.
* glib/glib-sections.txt: Added G_MODULE_SUFFIX.
* glib/tmpl/modules.sgml: Updated.
2000-12-19 Sebastian Wilhelmi <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>
* grand.c: Updated G_RAND_DOUBLE_TRANSFORM to be more
accurate. Redid g_rand_double() such that it returns 52 bits after
the point instead of 32 as before. That OTOH requires calling
g_rand_int() twice. Overhauled g_rand_int_range(), which is easier
now thanks to the new precision of g_rand_double(). Thanks to
Sverre Johansen <sj@ifi.uio.no> for the hint.
* grand.h: Added g_rand_boolean() and g_random_boolean()
macros. While they could be omitted due to extreme simplicity,
they make intention clearer in code and are therefore good to have.
* grand.c, grand.h: Renamed all 'min' and 'max' parameters to'
begin' and 'end' resp. to avoid making people think, that 'max' is
included in the interval. 'end' now isn't, whereas 'begin'
is. That's similar to the use in the STL.
* glib/glib-sections.txt: Added g_rand_boolean and
g_random_boolean macros.
* glib/tmpl/random_numbers.sgml: Updated.
Mon Dec 11 04:44:11 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* gboxed.c: fixed dealing with collection/lcopy of NULL values.
* gclosure.h: removed insane ramblings, added G_CALLBACK() a casting
convenience macro.
* Makefile.am: cleanups, marshaller generation rules.
* gmarshal.[hc]: new files with GRuntime standard marshallers.
* glib-genmarshal.c: fix log domain, support gruntime standard
marshallers, suport G_TYPE_PARAM, come with extern "C" and
#include gmarshal.h.
* glib-genmarshal.1: reflect glib-genmarshal.c updates.
* gobject.[hc]: implement object constructor. rework parameter
changed notification queueing, we support queue freezes now and
don't dispatch from an idle handler anymore.
parameter->property rename hassle.
implemented ::properties_changed and ::notify::* signals for
property change notification (the later supports property names
as details). added signal connection and named data properties.
(g_signal_connect_object): new function to setup while_alive
connections.
(g_object_class_install_property): sink properties now, since they
are initially floating.
(g_object_steal_data):
(g_object_set_data_full):
(g_object_set_data):
(g_object_get_data): set/get data by using g_datalist_*() functions
directly.
(g_object_queue_param_changed): nuked.
(g_object_freeze_notify): start queueing of property changes (freeze/
thaw calls stack).
(g_object_notify): announce changes of a certain property directly.
(g_object_thaw_notify): process queue of property changes, therefore
emitting GObject::notify::detail with detail being the changed
properties names.
(G_OBJECT_WARN_INVALID_PROPERTY_ID): saner macro variant of former
G_WARN_INVALID_PARAM_ID().
* gparam.[hc]: param specs are now initially floating and need to be
sunken with g_param_spec_sink(), support G_TYPE_PARAM values.
added G_PARAM_CONSTRUCT and G_PARAM_CONSTRUCT_ONLY parameter flags,
required by GObjectClass.constructor().
* gparamspecs.[hc]: added GParamSpecParam, GParamSpecPointer and
GParamSpecCCallback, param specs for G_TYPE_PARAM, G_TYPE_POINTER
and G_TYPE_CCALLBACK respectively.
* gsignal.[hc]: cleanups.
(signal_id_lookup): after walking the anchestry, try interfaces as well.
(g_signal_new): new function to create signals from varargs type list.
(g_signal_connect_closure): closure connection variant that works from
signal name+detail.
(g_signal_connect_data): c handler connection variant that works from
signal name+detail.
(g_signal_emit_valist): emit signal for an instance with paraneters
collected from a va_list.
(g_signal_emit): emit signal, taking parameters from varargs list.
(g_signal_emit_by_name): same as g_signal_emit, working from
signal name+detail.
(signal_emit_R): return whether return_value needs to be altered.
* gtype.[hc]: set log-domain to GRuntime, i'm slowly getting to all
the points that need to reflect the upcoming rename.
melt g_type_conforms_to() functionality into g_type_is_a(), as that
is what we really want (liskov substitution principle).
assorted changes to other files due to conforms_to->is_a.
* gvalue.[hc]: implemented g_value_set_instance() that sets a value
from an instantiatable type via the value_table's collect_value()
function (based on an idea from James Henstridge <james@daa.com.au>).
cleanups/fixes.
* gvaluetypes.[hc]: implement G_TYPE_CCALLBACK and G_TYPE_PARAM.
Tue Dec 5 12:23:04 2000 Owen Taylor <otaylor@redhat.com>
* gmain.[hc]: Major change in API for creating sources
to handle multiple main loops (GMainContext *).
GSources are now exposed as GSource * and implemented
with structure derivation.
* giochannel.[ch]: Changed vtable for GIOChannel to correspond
to the new mainloop API, add g_io_channel_create_watch().
* gtypes.h: Move GTimeVal here.
* gthread.h: Remove gmain.h include to avoid circularity.
* giounix.c: Update for new GMain API.
* giowin32.c: Update for new GMain API. (No check for
proper compilation or working.)
* timeloop.c timeloop-basic.c: A benchmarking program for
the main loop comparing the main loop against a
hand-written (timeloop-basic.c) variant.
* tests/mainloop-test.c: New torture test of mainloop.
* docs/Changes-2.0.txt: Started. Added text about
changes to GMain.
* gmain.c (g_main_add_poll_unlocked): Initial fd->revents
to zero. (#8482, Benjamin Kahn)
Sun Nov 5 13:24:50 2000 Owen Taylor <otaylor@redhat.com>
* gobject/Makefile.am gobject/gobject-sections.sgml: Updates
* gobject/tmpl/g{boxed,type{plugin,module}}.sgml: added
2000-11-05 Havoc Pennington <hp@pobox.com>
* gerror.c (g_propagate_error): Free the src error if the dest
location is NULL - I'm pretty sure that's what this function was
supposed to do.
2000-11-05 Havoc Pennington <hp@pobox.com>
* glib/tmpl/error_reporting.sgml: fixes
Fri Nov 3 07:35:00 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* gsignal.[hc]: prefix internal functions with '_'. renamed
g_signal_connect_closure() to g_signal_connect_closure_by_id().
added g_signal_parse_name() to retrive signal_id and detail quark
from a signal name (internal).
Fri Nov 3 07:33:15 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* gobject/gobject-docs.sgml: added &gobject-closures; section.

for GClosure functions.
2000-11-02 Sebastian Wilhelmi <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>
* glib/tmpl/async_queues.sgml, glib/glib-sections.txt: Added
documentation for asynchronous queues.
* gasyncqueue.c: Added inline documentation for asyncronous
queues.
Wed Nov 1 03:36:54 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* gobject.c (g_object_base_class_finalize): destroy all signals that
the finalized obejct type introduced.
* gsignal.c (g_signals_destroy): don't require itype to have
signals.
* gobject.c (g_object_do_finalize): make sure all signal handlers
are destroyed.
* gsignal.[hc]:
(g_signal_handler_find): only match on non-0 masks.
(g_signal_handlers_block_matched):
(g_signal_handlers_unblock_matched):
(g_signal_handlers_disconnect_matched): new functions to block/unblock

documentation for gu(int|short|long).
2000-10-30 Sebastian Wilhelmi <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>
* glib/glib-sections.txt, glib/tmpl/linked_lists_double.sgml,
glib/tmpl/caches.sgml: Move GCompareFunc to GList and introduce
and document GEqualFunc in GHashTable.
* glib/tmpl/caches.sgml, glib/tmpl/hash_tables.sgml,
glib/tmpl/relations.sgml : Changed to reflect the changed API
(GCompareFunc -> GEqualFunc).

fixes.
Mon Oct 30 11:13:12 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* gobject/tmpl/signals.sgml: start at general description.
* gobject/gobject-docs.sgml: added introduction.
Mon Oct 30 06:01:43 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>

Mon Oct 30 05:52:45 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* gsignal.c (g_signal_list_ids): get rid of inline documentation owen
added, the doc system would ignore it anyways (for some reason not
aparent to me).
Fri Oct 27 16:33:41 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* gsignal.[hc]: publically define GSignalInvocationHint structure
that gets passed in to closure invocations. added signal details.
renamed GSignalType to GSignalFlags to comply with conventions.
quite some cleanups and minor fixes. avoid uneccessary handler list
walks upon invokation of after handlers. relookup handler list for
restarted emissions. preliminary abort normal handler invokation if
after handler is encountered.
* glib-genmarshal.c:
* gclosure.[hc]: moved invocation_hint to the end of the
g_closure_invoke() arguments as sugegsted by kenelson.
also made it a gpointer to be more generic. the invocation_hint
is a caller specific thing that can be used to pass additional
data in to closure invocations as documented with the caller
invoking the closure.
2000-10-27 Sebastian Wilhelmi <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>
* glib/glib-sections.txt, glib/tmpl/hash_tables.sgml,
glib/tmpl/macros_misc.sgml, glib/tmpl/misc_utils.sgml,
glib/tmpl/scanner.sgml: Document the recently deprecated functions
as such.
