* gobject.[ch] gobject.symbols: Add
g_object_add/remove_toggle_ref() functions to get notification
when a reference count is the last remaining reference; this
enables better memory management for language bindings.

2005-05-05 Owen Taylor <otaylor@redhat.com>
* glib/gdataset.[ch] glib/gdatasetprivate.h: Add
g_datalist_set/unset_flags(), g_datalist_get_flags() functions
to squeeze some bits into a GDataSet... this is needed for
efficient implementation of toggle references in GObject.
* tests/gobject/references.c tests/gobject/Makefile.am:
Add a test case for weak and toggle references.
* glib/gfileutils.[ch]: Rename g_file_replace() back
to g_file_set_contents().
* glib/glib.symbols: Update.

* glib/Makefile.am glib/glib-sections.txt gobject/gobject-sections.txt:
Update
* gobject/tmpl/objects.sgml: Document toggle-references.
Wed Nov 14 07:34:24 2001 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* glib/galloca.h (g_newa): provide g_newa(ctype, count) on top of
g_alloca() like we provide g_new() on top of g_malloc().
glib/tmpl/arrays_pointer.sgml, glib/tmpl/caches.sgml,
glib/tmpl/datalist.sgml, glib/tmpl/date.sgml,
glib/tmpl/datasets.sgml, glib/tmpl/type_conversion.sgml,
glib/tmpl/memory.sgml, glib/tmpl/hash_tables.sgml:
Markup fixes and a few additions.
Fri Sep 28 19:41:32 2001 Owen Taylor <otaylor@redhat.com>
* glib/libcharset/* configure.in: Fix macros from libcharset
to work with autoconf-2.5x. (From Laszlo Peter.)
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?)
Tue Oct 24 22:09:14 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* glib-object.h: added newly added gobject/ headers.
* gmesage.c: print g_message() output to stderr instead of stdout.
Wed Oct 25 20:27:02 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* gtype.c (g_type_free_instance): for the moment, freeing object
structures will fill their memory portion with 0xAA. there's a
FIXME there, remove this line at a later point.
Tue Oct 24 23:10:26 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* glib-genmarshal.1:
* glib-genmarshal.c: added publically installed marshaller generator.
* gtype.h: added G_TYPE_INSTANCE_GET_INTERFACE() to retrive a certain
interface VTable from instances.
Mon Oct 23 08:28:15 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* gobject.[hc]: new functions for closure maintenance:
(g_object_watch_closure): maintain validity of the object and
the closure for objects that are used as data part of a closure.
(g_cclosure_new_object): convenience function to create C closures
that have an object as data argument.
(g_closure_new_object): convenience function to create closures
that have an object as data argument.
* gclosure.[hc]: implementation of GClosure mechanism.
a closure is basically an encapsulation of a callback function
and its environment. ideally, most places supporting callback
functions will simply take a GClosure* pointer and thus unify
callback environments wrg destroy notification etc.
GClosure provides destroy notifiers for arbitrary data pointers,
reference counting, invalidation notification (it can be invalidated
which is merely a deactivate state) and a marshallinbg abstraction.
GCClosure is also provided in these files, they present a specialized
GClosure implementation for C language callbacks.
* genum.c: macro cleanups.
* gboxed.[hc]: new files, for boxed type abstraction.
(g_boxed_copy): copy a boxed structure
(g_boxed_free): free a boxed structure
(g_value_set_boxed):
(g_value_get_boxed): standard GValue functions for boxed types
(g_boxed_type_register_static): convenience function for easy
introduction of new G_TYPE_BOXED derivatives.
* gparam.[hc]: introduced g_param_type_register_static(), a short hand
for creation of new GParamSpec derived types.
* gtype.[hc]: many fixes, introduced ability to flag individual
type nodes as ABSTRACT upon registration, added value_peek_pointer()
to the value table to peek at GValue contents as a pointer for types
that support this. fixed up GValue checks.
* gvalue.[hc]: added g_value_fits_pointer() and g_value_get_as_pointer()
to peek at the value contents as pointer.
* *.[hc]: adaptions to type macro fixes and changes in the type
registration API.
* many const corrections over the place.
Sat Oct 21 02:49:56 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* gtype.c (g_type_conforms_to): this function basically behaves like
and is_a check, except that it _additionally_ features interfaces
for instantiatable types. enforce this in the second branch as well
(`type' conforms_to `type') even if `type' is not an interface type.
Fri Oct 20 15:31:04 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* gvaluetypes.[hc]: added G_TYPE_POINTER implementation from jrb.
* gtype.[hc]:
* gobject.c:
* gvaluetypes.c: added GTypeValueTable.value_peek_pointer and
suitable implementations of this for G_TYPE_STRING, G_TYPE_OBJECT
and G_TYPE_POINTER.
Mon Aug 21 04:13:37 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* gbsearcharray.[hc]: long standing needed generic implementation
of a binary searchable, sorted and dynamically sized array.
Thu Sep 7 12:35:35 2000 Owen Taylor <otaylor@redhat.com>
* Some further makefile improvement.
* Restore all the docs that mysteriously vanished earlier.
Wed Sep 6 10:59:45 2000 Owen Taylor <otaylor@redhat.com>
* gobject/Makefile.am glib/Makefile.am: Improve
separation of generic non-generic parts and dependencies.
