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.

* configure.in: Set LIB_EXE_MACHINE_FLAG to either X86 or X64 on
Windows. AC_SUBST it.

* configure.in
* */Makefile.am: More work on enabling static building on
Windows. When building statically: Also define
GOBJECT_STATIC_COMPILATION in glibconfig.h so that also the
variables in gparamspecs.h get declared without any
dllimport/dllexport decorations. Don't install .def files which
obviously have no meaning for static libraries. Don't create MS
import libraries. Don't do any resource object files.
svn path=/trunk/; revision=6866
2008-03-16 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
* configure.in: Don't bother defining Autoconf variables for
glib.def, gmodule.def, gobject.def and gthread.def when this can
be handled easily in */Makefile.am which are the only files that
use them. Remove also TESTGMODULE_EXP which isn't used at all.

(#358966)
2005-07-09 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
* configure.in: Don't use autoconf variables for the resource
object files on Win32 any longer. Instead handle that in the
Makefile.am files. Check for windres.
* glibconfig.h.win32.in: Minor tuning to match the
configure-produced glibconfig.h closely.
* */Makefile.am: Don't use the scripts in build/win32 to
compile the .rc file into a resource object file. (This means
we loose the build number increment magic, but I doubt it was
that useful anyway.) Instead use windres directly. To pass the
normal .o file produced by windres through libtool, which
wants .lo files, pass it directly to the linker using a -Wl
option.
* */*.rc.in: Thus replace BUILDNUMBER with 0.
2005-06-26 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
* Makefile.am: libtool installs/uninstalls the import library, no
need to do it ourselves. Do still install/uninstall the .def file,
though.
2005-06-24 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
* glib/Makefile.am
* gmodule/Makefile.am
* gobject/Makefile.am: Current GNU tools do understand the
PRIVATE keyword.
* glib/gfileutils.c (g_mkdir_with_parents): Return error with
EINVAL also for empty pathnames.
(g_build_pathname_va): Fix typo.
2005-03-14 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
* abicheck.sh: Make work again.
* gsourceclosure.c: Fix a typo.
Make PLT-reduction work with gcc4, and don't include
everything in gobjectalias.h:
* gobject.symbols: Group symbols by header and source
file.
* makegobjectalias.pl: Protect definitions by the same
preprocessor symbols used to guard the headers. Move
the alias declarations to a separate file which is
produced when calling makegalias.pl -def
* Makefile.am (gobjectaliasdef.c): Add a rule to
build this file.
* *.c: Include gobjectalias.h after the other i
GLib headers, include gobjectaliasdef.c at the bottom.
2005-02-24 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
* Makefile.am (BUILT_EXTRA_DIST): Don't distribute
glib.def. (#167496, J. Ali Harlow)

gobject.def. (#167496, J. Ali Harlow)
2005-02-04 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
* configure.in: Define a HAVE_GNUC_VISIBILITY automake
conditional.
* glib/Makefile.am (TESTS): Only check the abi if
the compiler supports visibility, otherwise we
know there will be (harmless) extra symbols.
(#166181, Ed Avis)
2005-01-11 Owen Taylor <otaylor@redhat.com>
* configure.in: Add gmodule-export-2.0.pc to AC_CONFIG_FILES.
* glib/Makefile.am gobject/Makefile.am gthread/Makefile.am:
Use grep | head -n 1 instead of grep -m 1 which doesn't work
with slightly older versions of GNU grep in
install-libtool-import-lib rule.
2005-01-06 Tor Lillqvist <tml@iki.fi>
* glib/Makefile.am
* gobject/Makefile.am: glib.def and gobject.def are generated, not
in $(srcdir). (#163143, J. Ali Harlow)
2004-12-27 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
* configure.in: Add an OS_LINUX conditional.
* glib/Makefile.am (TESTS): Only check the ABI on
linux, since the shell script is not portable, and libtool
deficiencies may distort the ABI on other platforms. (#161741)
2004-11-30 Tor Lillqvist <tml@iki.fi>
* glib/Makefile.am (glib.def)
* gobject/Makefile.am (gobject.def): gcc -E complains "linker
unused because linking not done" if told to preprocess an
*.symbols file. Use '-' and redirection to pass it as standard
input instead.
2004-11-23 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
Fix a problem with the PLT reduction changes which caused the
internal aliases to lose all attributes.
* glib/glib.symbols: Add attribute annotations.
* glib/makegalias.pl: Keep attribute annotations, but strip PRIVATE.
* glib/Makefile.am (glib.def): Strip attribute annotations, but keep
PRIVATE.
2004-11-11 J. Ali Harlow <ali@juiblex.co.uk>
* gobject/Makefile.am:
* glib/Makefile.am (gtk.def): Use embedded tab rather than '\t'
escape sequence. (#157951)
2004-09-22 Tor Lillqvist <tml@iki.fi>
* Makefile.am (install-libtool-import-lib): [Win32] Add code to
remove the bug-compatibility entries (see #134813, and related
comments below) from the import library. The PRIVATE keyword in
the .def file is supposed to mean that, but it isn't implemented
yet by GNU ld.
* makegobjectalias.pl: In case the symbol is followed by some
stuff ("PRIVATE") that's intended for the .def file, use just the
actual symbol.
* gobject.symbols: For binary bug compatibility on Win32, add the
g_slist_remove_all and g_unichar_validate symbols inside #ifdef
INCLUDE_INTERNAL_SYMBOLS. (See #134813 and log entries from March
below.)
2004-09-16 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
Implement the same PLT reduction technique used in GTK+:
* Makefile.am: Generate gobjectalias.h from gobject.symbols.
(BUILT_SOURCES): Add gobjectalias.h.
* makegobjectalias.pl: Script to generate gobjectalias.h.
* *.c: Include gobjectalias.h
2004-09-16 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
Add ABI control using the same technique that is used in GTK+.
* gobject.symbols: Master list of symbols.
* gobject.def: Removed. It is now generated from gobject.symbols.
* Makefile.am (gobject.def): Generate from gobject.symbols.
(TESTS): Add abicheck.sh
(EXTRA_DIST): Add abicheck.sh
(export_symbols): Don't export _-prefixed symbols.
* gtype.h:
* gtype.c: Move the declarations of the various _init() functions
to the header, and mark them as G_GNUC_INTERNAL.
2004-03-06 Tor Lillqvist <tml@iki.fi>
* README.win32: Update.
* configure.in
* Makefile.am
* */Makefile.am: Drop the hand-written makefile.mingw(.in)
files. They haven't been maintained in a long time. As several
people have managed to build GLib for Win32 using the
autoconfiscation mechanism, there is no real reason to even try to
maintain the hand-written mingw makefiles.
Fri Sep 12 16:31:40 2003 Owen Taylor <otaylor@redhat.com>
* gsignal.[ch]: Add g_signal_accumulator_true_handled(), to
do TRUE-stops-emit signals.
* Makefile.am: Move testoverride.c and testifaceinit.c to
tests/gobject.
Wed Aug 27 01:25:40 2003 Owen Taylor <otaylor@redhat.com>
* Makefile.am testifaceinit.c: Add a detailed test case
for interface initialization, testing the ability to
add interfaces during class initialization and the ordering
of interface base_init, class init, and interface_init.
(Expected to fail at the moment.)
2003-08-13 Tor Lillqvist <tml@iki.fi>
* glib/Makefile.am
* gmodule/Makefile.am
* gobject/Makefile.am
* gthread/Makefile.am: Use srcdir also in references to the .def
files. (#118885, Jeff Bonggren)
2003-06-17 Matthias Clasen <maclas@gmx.de>
* acinclude.m4 (JH_PATH_XML_CATALOG, JH_CHECK_XML_CATALOG): New
macros to check for XML catalog contents and path, borrowed from
gtk-doc.
* configure.in: New option --enable-man to enable regeneration of
man pages from Docbook, if the necessary tools are found.
* gobject/Makefile.am: Add rule to regenerate man pages from
Docbook.
(man_MANS): Add glib-mkenums.1, glib-genmarshal.1 and gobject-query.1.
(content_files): Add glib-mkenums.xml, glib-genmarshal.xml and
gobject-query.xml.
* gobject/glib-mkenums.xml:
* gobject/glib-genmarshal.xml:
* gobject/gobject-query.xml: New refentries.
* gobject/glib-mkenums.1:
* gobject/glib-genmarshal.1:
* gobject/gobject-query.1: Man pages generated from the .xml
sources.
* gobject/gobject-docs.sgml: Include glib-mkenums.xml,
glib-genmarshal.xml and gobject-query.xml.
* glib/Makefile.am: Add rule to regenerate man pages from
Docbook.
(man_MANS): Add glib-gettextize.1.
(content_files): Add glib-gettextize.xml.
* glib/glib-gettextize.xml: New refentry.
* glib/glib-gettextize.1: Man page generated from the .xml source.
* glib/glib-docs.sgml: Include glib-gettextize.xml.
2003-03-01 James Henstridge <james@daa.com.au>
* autogen.sh: require automake 1.7. Add calls to libtoolize and
gtkdocize. Clean up some of the error messages.
* configure.in: move version declaration to the top of the file
(before AC_INIT), using M4 macros.
GLIB_AC_DIVERT_BEFORE_HELP() calls no longer necessary, due to use
of M4 macro expansion in help messages instead.
Convert AC_ARG_WITH/AC_ARG_ENABLE calls to use AC_HELP_STRING to
format help strings. Use quadrigraphs to get square brackets to
show correctly.
Replace gtk-doc checks with a call to GTK_DOC_CHECK() macro.
Use AC_CONFIG_COMMANDS([glibconfig.h], ...) to output
glibconfig.h, so that "./config.status glibconfig.h" works.
Add an extra AC_CONFIG_FILES call listing other files we want
generated by config.status protected by an "if false" block. This
way automake generates the rules needed to rebuild the files for
us.
Add quotes in various places.
* docs/reference/*/Makefile.am: convert to use the common
gtk-doc.make file. This localises the complexity to a single
makefile fragment maintained with gtk-doc itself.
* */Makefile.am: remove unneeded rules to build win32 files with
config.status. Automake now does this for us.
Replace instances of @FOO@ with $(FOO) where appropriate -- this
allows automake to do a better job checking the makefile.
Add some files to DISTCLEANFILES where appropriate
* Makefile.am: use the DISTCHECK_CONFIGURE_FLAGS variable to
ensure that --enable-gtk-doc is passed to configure during a
distcheck. Remove the custom distcheck, since the standard one
will now do.
* gobject/Makefile.am: switch to BUILT_SOURCES, since that now
works.
2003-01-04 Tor Lillqvist <tml@iki.fi>
* {glib,gmodule,gobject,gthread}/Makefile.am:
[Win32] Install also the .def files, to help users generate
import libraries for other compilers. Uninstall, too.
* glib-zip.in: Include .def files from above.
2002-05-07 Michael Natterer <mitch@gimp.org>
* configure.in: added a new conditional CROSS_COMPILING which
indicates ($build != $host). If it is set, look for
glib-genmarshal in PATH. Error out if it was not found.
2002-05-07 Michael Natterer <mitch@gimp.org>
* Makefile.am: use the glib-genmarshal found at configure time
if CROSS_COMPILING is set, use the one which was just built
otherwise.
Sun Mar 3 21:09:24 2002 Owen Taylor <otaylor@redhat.com>
* configure.in: Default to --disable-gtk-doc, to avoid
Jade setup hassles.
* autogen.sh: Add --enable-gtk-doc.
* configure.in: Default to --disable-static to go
along with Pango, GTK+ where we need to do that for
bin-compat reasons.
* Makefile.am: Add a slightly modified distcheck rule
that passes --enable-gtk-doc to the configure inside.
(So that 'make dist' succeeds inside.)
* configure.in *.pc.in **/Makefile.am m4macros/glib-2.0.m4
tests/makefile.mingw.in: Switch everything over to
glib-2.0.
* docs/debugging.txt, gobject/glib-genmarshal.c,
gobject/glib-genmarshal.1, gobject/Makefile.am, gobject/gtype.c:
Remove references to gruntime. This includes renaming the test
program testgruntime to testgobject and the debug envvar
GRUNTIME_DEBUG to GOBJECT_DEBUG. (#50877)
Sat Nov 17 14:10:35 2001 Owen Taylor <otaylor@redhat.com>
* glib/gbsearcharray.h: Include gtypes.h not gobject/gtype.h
* glib/glib-object.h gobject/*.h: Prevent headers from
being included directly except when compiling GObject.
* gobject/gvaluecollector.h: Include glib-object.h so that
this file can be included directly, since we don't
include it _from_ glib-object.h.
* gobject/gtype.c: Remove struct _GValue hack since we
now include glib/gvaluecollector.h which simply pulls in
glib-object.h.
Tue Nov 13 23:18:10 2001 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* gsignal.[hc]: add API for chaining:
g_signal_chain_from_overridden() and g_signal_override_class_closure(),
implementation yet to come.
* gtype.[hc], Makefile.am: provide G_LOG_DOMAIN as compile flag.
* gparam.[hc]: s/g_param_get/g_param_spec_get/ for get_nick,
get_name and get_blurb, to be consistent with the rest of the
g_param_spec_*() functions.
* gparamspecs.[hc]: got rid of bogus GClosure paramspec.
G_TYPE_CLOSURE is a boxed type already.
Mon Oct 29 11:05:15 2001 Owen Taylor <otaylor@redhat.com>
* glib-mkenums.in: Generate glib-mkenums from glib-mkenums.in,
substituting in path to perl. (#63093, Dan Winship)
* Makefile.am (bin_SCRIPTS): Remove hack to copy glib-mkenums
from srcdir.
Mon Oct 29 10:59:36 2001 Owen Taylor <otaylor@redhat.com>
* configure.in: Check for path to Perl, add gobject/glib-mkenums
2001-10-23 Tor Lillqvist <tml@iki.fi>
* {glib,gmodule,gobject,gthread}/Makefile.am: (Win32): If we
have built the MSVC import library, install it. Install the
gcc import library. Also support uninstall.
2001-09-25 Tor Lillqvist <tml@iki.fi>
* configure.in: More Win32 automake macros. For .def files:
GLIB_DEF, GMODULE_DEF, GOBJECT_DEF and GTHREAD_DEF. For .exp
files: TESTGMODULE_EXP (for programs that need to export symbols,
just testgmodule here). A new conditional, MS_LIB_AVAILABLE to
test whether the Microsoft librarian ("ar") is available to build
MS import libraries.
* glib/Makefile.am
* gmodule/Makefile.am: Use above. New rule to build MS import
library.
* glib/makefile.msc.in
* tests/makefile.msc.in
* tests/makefile.mingw.in: Use same DLL and import library names as
libtool.
gmodule:

* Makefile.am: Use new macros for .def file, and check for
MS_LIB_AVAILABLE, new rule to build MS import library.
* makefile.msc.in: Use same DLL and import library names as
libtool.
2001-09-17 Tor Lillqvist <tml@iki.fi>
* configure.in: Add variable for LT_CURRENT minus LT_AGE (the
suffix used by libtool on Win32 for DLLs). Set variables for the
compiled resource files on Windows. Handle the native Win32
gthread stuff.
* glib/Makefile.am
* gmodule/Makefile.am
* gobject/Makefile.am: (Win32) Add minor hacks to link in the object
file produced from the resource file. Use the lt-compile-resource
script from the build module. The non-hack way would be to teach
libtool, autoconf and automake about .rc files (which are a kind
of source code, after all, that gets compiled to object
files). But then there would be problems for those who wouldn't have
bleeding edge auto* and libtool.
* glib/glib.def
* gobject/gobject.def: Updates.
* glib/glib.rc.in
* gmodule/gmodule.rc.in
* gobject/gobject.rc.in
* gthread/gthread.rc.in: Update InternalName and OriginalFilename to
match libtool's naming convention for DLLs.
* glib/gutils.c: Ditto when constructing the DLL name in the
definition for GLIB_LOCALE_DIR.
* glib/makefile.mingw.in
* gmodule/makefile.mingw.in
* gobject/makefile.mingw.in
* gthread/makefile.mingw.in: Update import library names.
Mon Aug 27 14:55:27 2001 Owen Taylor <otaylor@redhat.com>
* gsourceclosure.[ch] (g_source_set_closure): Implement.
* gsourceclosure.[ch]: Add GType's for GIOChannel, GIOCondition.
Mon Aug 27 14:56:12 2001 Owen Taylor <otaylor@redhat.com>
* glib/gmain.h: Add closure_marshal/closure_callback
fields to GSourceFuncs for use by g_source_set_closure().
* glib/gmain.c glib/giounix.c glib/giowin32.c
glib/gmain.h: Export the SourceFuncs vtables so GObject
can use them to figure out closure callbacks/marshallers
for the default source types.
Tue Jun 26 11:43:46 2001 Owen Taylor <otaylor@redhat.com>
* configure.in Makefile.am *.[ch] glib/*.[ch] glib/Makefile.am:
Move glib library into a subdirectory, make all GLib include
files include as <glib/glist.h>
* tests/testglib.c tests/testgdate.c tests/testgdateparser.c
tests/timeloop.c tests/timeloop-basic.c: Move all tests into
the tests/ subdirectory.
Mon Jun 11 17:07:06 2001 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* gboxed.[hc]: remove left-over usages of an anonymous GBoxed typedef.
* gobjectnotifyqueue.c: moved property notify queue implementation
bits into this function.
* gparam.[hc]: added g_param_spec_pool_belongings(), completed
g_param_spec_pool_list(). added GParameter for _setv() functions.
* gobject.[hc]: use gobjectnotifyqueue.h implementation now.
got rid of properties_changed signal.
new functions g_object_newv(), g_object_class_list_properties().
removed "properties_changed" signal.
* gtype.[hc]: added g_type_depth() to figure number of parent
types + 1 for a type.
* gsignal.h: add g_signal_connect() (as per owen's request) and
g_signal_connect_swapped().
2001-06-13 Havoc Pennington <hp@redhat.com>
* Makefile.am (progs_LDADD): link to ./libgobject-1.3.la
since an installed libgobject was somehow being found; think
it's a libtool bug, but this workaround should do for now.
2001-06-11 Havoc Pennington <hp@redhat.com>
* NEWS: updated
* configure.in (GLIB_MICRO_VERSION): increment version to 1.3.6
2001-06-12 Havoc Pennington <hp@redhat.com>
* Makefile.am (glib-mkenums): don't put $(srcdir)/glib-mkenums in
bin_SCRIPTS, that breaks make install. Instead put 'glib-mkenums'
in bin_SCRIPTS and cp it into builddir
2001-05-28 Sebastian Wilhelmi <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>
* configure.in: Fix typo.
* gobject/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Really distribute
glib-mkenums, now that bin_SCRIPTS doesn't seem to care about
doing so anymore.
2001-05-05 James Henstridge <james@daa.com.au>
* Makefile.am: glib-mkenums is not a compiled program, so shouldn't
be in the bin_PROGRAMS primary. Put it in bin_SCRIPTS instead, and
removed the glib_mkenums_SOURCES var.
Sun Apr 29 00:37:34 2001 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* ghook.[hc]: made hook ids a gulong.
Sat Apr 28 23:39:42 2001 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* gsignal.[hc]: made signal handler and emission hook ids gulongs.
(signal_handlers_foreach_matched_R): only invoke callback for handlers
that are not disconnected (id>0).
(signal_emit_R): prevent invocation of signal handlers during the
emission they were connected within.
* glib-mkenums: publically installed perl-script to parse C code
enums and generate descriptions thereof.
* glib-mkenums.1: assorted man page.
2001-03-10 Tor Lillqvist <tml@iki.fi>
* */Makefile.am: Use the _LIBADD dependencies on libglib only on
Win32.
* gobject/gobject.def: Add a couple of missing entries.
2001-02-21 Tor Lillqvist <tml@iki.fi>
* *.h: Use G_BEGIN_DECLS and G_END_DECLS.
* Makefile.am: Use libglib-1.3.la from top_builddir. Invoke
libtool with -no-undefined for Win32 and Cygwin.
Fri Mar 9 14:57:17 2001 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* testgruntime.c: test program. covers run first/last/cleanup signal
handlers, return value accumulator, signal string returns, and
interface types in signal arguments.
* gtype.c (g_type_value_table_peek): for interface types without
value table, try looking up a value table from an instantiatable
prerequisite type (this is safe as an interface may only have
one instantiatable prerequisiste).
(type_check_is_value_type_U): same here.
* gsignal.c (g_signal_newv): assert that return types never have
G_SIGNAL_TYPE_STATIC_SCOPE set.
(g_signal_newc): only create class closure if the class_offset is not
0.
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>.
2001-02-04 Tor Lillqvist <tml@iki.fi>
* tests/Makefile.am (thread_LDADD): Change order of libs,
put progs_LDADD last. Needed for cygwin, says jbdoll@kepri.re.kr.
2001-02-04 Tor Lillqvist <tml@iki.fi>
* Makefile.am (progs_LDADD): Change order of libs to libgobject
first, then libglib. Needed for cygwin, says jbdoll@kepri.re.kr.
* gmain.c, gmain.h (g_main_context_new, g_main_context_destroy): GMainContext useful
in implementing some additional styles of main loop usage. To do this, however, Joe
Hacker needs to be able to create/destroy GMainContext's at will. This is just an
export of existing functionality, rather than new functionality.
They are listed in the "Low level functions for implementing custom main loops"
section of the header file, to avoid confusing people.
* gobject/Makefile.am:
. You have to 'touch oldest-source-stamp' if you want to avoid having
the Makefile constantly rebuild itself.
. Fix marshaller generation rules to work with srcdir != builddir
(there were issues with trying to run "./glib-genmarshal", etc.)
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.
Sun Nov 5 13:21:28 2000 Owen Taylor <otaylor@redhat.com>
* Makefile.am gtypemodule.[ch]: New basic implementation of
GTypePlugin interface as a GObject. Dynamically loaded modules can
register any number of types and interface on the module.
Sun Nov 5 10:25:40 2000 Owen Taylor <otaylor@redhat.com>
* gsignal.c (handlers_find): When appending handlers and
not matching on signal_id, use hlist->signal_id instead of
signal_id. Having the correct signal_id when unreffing
the handlers makes things work a lot better.
Sun Nov 5 05:22:55 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* gsignal.c:
fixed a bag full of subtle bugs of immensive screw-up potential in
handlers_find(), luckily no one found out about them yet ;)
fixed signal_handlers_foreach_matched_R() so it operates on an
initial handler list snapshot provided by handlers_find() to work
around general reentrancy problems and to avoid multiple callback()
invocations on the same handlers.
this code is now officially 80% bug free (10% remaining for interface
types, and 10% remaining for destroyed signals ;)
Sat Nov 4 02:01:33 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* gsignal.c (_g_signals_destroy): valid signal nodes start out at 1.
* gtypeplugin.[hc]: new files holding a GTypePlugin interface
implementation that provides the API required by GType to deal with
dynamically loadable types.
* gtype.[hc]: displace any GTypePlugin business to gtypeplugin.h.
2000-10-26 Sebastian Wilhelmi <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>
* Makefile.am: Remove empty SUBDIRS line _again_, as that _still_
prevents 'make dist' from working.
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.
gmodule:
* Makefile.am (BUILT_EXTRA_DIST): New variable.
(dist-hook): Handle $(BUILT_EXTRA_DIST).
gobject:
* Makefile.am (BUILT_EXTRA_DIST): New variable.
(dist-hook): Handle $(BUILT_EXTRA_DIST).
(*): Remove traces of @STRIP_{BEGIN,END}@.
gthread:
* Makefile.am (BUILT_EXTRA_DIST): New variable.
(dist-hook): Handle $(BUILT_EXTRA_DIST).
docs/reference:
'make distcheck' fixes.
* glib/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add $(DOC_MODULE)-decl.txt.
(html): Run 'gtkdoc-fixxref' in $(srcdir).
(dist-check-gtkdoc): Add missing quote.
(dist-hook): Copy in dependency order, so that none of the
makerules are fired in a tarball build.
* gobject/Makefile.am: Likewise.
toplevel:
Remove need for acconfig.h, and misc. cleanups.
* acglib.m4 (GLIB_SIZEOF): Add 'autoheader' comment to
AC_DEFINE_UNQUOTED.
(GLIB_BYTE_CONTENTS): Likewise.
* configure.in: Add 'autoheader' comments to all AC_DEFINE(...)
and AC_DEFINE_UNQUOTED(...) lines.
Replace AC_MSG_CHECKING/AC_CACHE_VAL with AC_CACHE_CHECK.
(AM_PROG_LIBTOOL): Move after AC_PROG_CC.
* acconfig.h: Empty out.
* Makefile.am (BUILT_EXTRA_DIST): New variable. List 'dist'able
files that are created in the builddir.
(dist-hook): Handle those files.
(libglib_1_3_la_SOURCES): Remove @ALLOCA@. @ALLOCA@ should only
be used in an _LDADD or _LIBADD, since it expands (if necessary)
to 'alloca.o'.
* tests/Makefile.am (BUILT_EXTRA_DIST): New variable.
(dist-hook): Handle $(BUILT_EXTRA_DIST).
2000-10-06 Tor Lillqvist <tml@iki.fi>
* makefile.msc.in: Revamp to be like makefile.mingw.in, make
the MSVC build actually work again.
* gmodule/makefile.msc.in
* gobject/makefile.msc.in
* gthread/makefile.msc.in: New files, like their mingw counterparts.
* gmodule/Makefile.am
* gobject/Makefile.am
* gthread/Makefile.am: Make and distribute them.
* */makefile.mingw.in: Allow override of GLib version number from
the build/win32/module.defs file.
* glib.def: Add new entry point.
Fixes from Hans Breuer:
* glib.h (struct DIR): Keep the last readdir result cached inside
the DIR struct, to enable several DIRs being open simultaneously.
* gwin32.c (g_win32_readdir): Use the above instead of static.
* giowin32.c (g_io_channel_win32_make_pollfd): Insert cast to keep
MSVC happy.
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.
Thu Jul 6 15:30:27 2000 Owen Taylor <otaylor@redhat.com>
* Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): dist fixes.
* gobject.c: Add a global variable glib_debug_objects
(not in header file) to control object tracing.
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 7 09:21:05 2000 Owen Taylor <otaylor@redhat.com>
* Makefile.am (INCLUDES): Add top_builddir so glibconfig.h
is found properly when build srcdir != builddir. (Patch from
Eric Lemings)
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 May 5 01:15:48 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* gtype.h: add reserved fundamental ids for gtk types (for transition
time). added G_TYPE_FUNDAMENTAL_MAX for gtk.
Mon Apr 17 20:45:50 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* glib-gobject.c (g_object_base_class_finalize): oops, don't unset
n_params prior to destructing them.
Tue Apr 11 04:28:10 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* fixed a couple of bugs in the initial parameter/object
implementations, after getting beast running on GObject and GValue.
Fri Apr 7 04:27:49 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* glib-gobject.[hc]: completed parameter set/get implementations,
along with asyncronous parameter changed notification queue.
Sun Apr 2 04:54:36 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* glib-gobject.[hc]: GObject implementation, that is facilities
for setting/getting quarked data and reference counting.
* glib-gparamspecs.[hc]: first actuall parameter implementations
for GLib, so far we have: char, uchar, bool, int, uint, long,
ulong, enum, flags, float, double, string and object. each of these
GParamSpecs is a new instantiatable type in its own respect,
so the .c file derives 13 new types from G_TYPE_PARAM and
defines over 50 (*2) conversion facilities.
* glib-gvaluecollector.h: generic varargs handling stubs for
GParamSpecs, private header file (does get installed for
inclusion into user code though).
* glib-gvalue.[hc]: GValue functionality implementation.
* glib-gparam.[hc]: basis GParamSpec implementation for
the virtual base type G_TYPE_PARAM.
* glib-genums.[hc]: enum/flags type implementation, based on
bseenum.[hc].
* glib-extra.[hc]: GLib additions, including 1.3 compatibility
routines and various other functions, from string manipulation
over list manipulation up to a unix signal GSource.
* glib-gtype.[hc]: GLib Type System implementation, heavily
based on BSE's dynamic type system.
