branch. See the ChangeLog for details of the changes.
In brief overview:
- The set of threading functions can be set
- A default implementation is provided in -lgthread
- All static data structures are locked using these
functions if g_thread_init() is called.

* configure.in: Added 'strncasecmp' to the list of functions to be
searched for.
* glib.h: Added a prototype for 'g_strncasecmp'
* strfuncs.c: (g_strncasecmp) new function modeled closely after
'g_strcasecmp'
* applied glib-tml-981101-1 patch from Tor Lillqvist (ChangeLog
entry appended below)
* testglib.c
* gstrfuncs.c
* glib.h: use G_HAVE_GINT64, since HAVE_GINT64 is gone
* gmessages.c
* gscanner.c: #include <config.h> in here too, for HAVE_UNISTD_H
-Yosh
* Makefile.am (glibconfig.h): New rule.
(stamp-gc-h): New rule. Generate `glibconfig.h'.
* configure.in (AM_CONFIG_HEADER): It is now `config.h'.
(HAVE_BROKEN_WCTYPE): On Solaris, look for iswalnum in -lw before
concluding "broken wctype".
(glibconfig.h): Use AC_OUTPUT_COMMANDS to put generation code into
config.status.
* glib.h: Remove a lot of tests and defines. All these have been
moved to `configure.in (glibconfig.h)'.
* gerror.c: Include <config.h>.
* gmem.c: Likewise.
* gstrfuncs.c: Likewise.
* gutils.c: Likewise.
This could cause some short term instability.
Tue Oct 27 03:00:50 1998 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* glib.h: removed dummy structure definitions for struct _GCache,
_GTree, _GTimer, _GMemChunk, _GListAllocator and _GStringChunk.
* gutils.c: implement glib's inline functions _after_ all include
statements have been processed.
removed Tor's MAXPATHLEN check since there already was one supplied
further down in this file.
(LibMain): special cased the #ifdef __LCC__ case for NATIVE_WIN32,
since lcc maybe used on other platforms as well. why in hell is this
stuff required?
(g_get_any_init): for windows, if the user name is supplied, use it as
realname also.
in general, if there is no homedir specified, use the tmpdir that
we already figured.
* gtimer.c (g_timer_elapsed): changed a g_assert() statement to
g_return_if_fail().
* applied glib-tml-981020-0.patch for WIN32 portability, added some
comments and g_return_if_fail() statements, minor indentation fixes.
ChangeLog entry from Tor Lillqvist is appended.
* glib.h (struct dirent): use lower case structure members.
* glib.h:
* makefile.lcc:
* makefile.msc:
s/COMPILING_GLIB/GLIB_COMPILATION/
1998-10-20: Tor Lillqvist <tml@iki.fi>
* README.win32 glib.def gmodule.def
* glibconfig.h.win32 gmodule/gmoduleconf.h.win32:
New files for the Windows port. The .def files list exported
symbols for the Microsoft linker and compatibles.
* configure.in:
Added checks for some platform-dependent headers: pwd.h sys/param.h
sys/select.h sys/time.h sys/times.h unistd.h, and the function lstat.
* gerror.c:
Conditionalized inclusion of system-dependent headers. Changes
for Windows: no gdb to do a stack trace. Just call abort().
* glib.h:
Changes for Windows:
Added macros G_DIR_SEPARATOR, G_DIR_SEPARATOR_S for
platform-dependent file name syntax elements. Added macros
G_SEARCHPATH_SEPARATOR, G_SEARCHPATH_SEPARATOR_S for
platform-dependent search path syntax conventions.
Added pragmas for Microsoft C to make it more pedantic.
Marked GLib's global variables for export from DLL.
Added the function g_strescape that escapes backslashes.
Added functions g_path_is_absolute and g_path_skip_root to
handle platform-dependent file name syntax.
Added the function g_getenv that expands environment variables
that contain references to other environment variables, as is
typical on Windows NT.
Added the GIOChannel structure which is used to encapsulate the
IPC mechanism used by the GIMP's plug-ins, and possibly other
things later. On Unix a GIOChannel encapsulates just a file
descriptor. On Windows it contains a file handle from _pipe() and a
few other things related to the implementation of gdk_input_add
and GIMP plug-in communication. Subject to change.
Removed duplicate declarations of the version variables.
For the Microsoft compiler, declare own implementation of
ftruncate and the <dirent.h> functions.
* gmem.c:
Define a symbolic name for the profiling table size.
* gmessages.c:
Conditionalized inclusion of unistd.h. On Windows, output using
stdio to stdout.
* gscanner.c:
Conditionalized inclusion of unistd.h. Added changes for
Microsoft C. Added CR to the skipped character set. Added small
workaround for MSC compiler bug in g_scanner_cur_value.
* gstrfuncs.c:
Added the function g_strescape, which escapes the backslash
character. Needed especially when printing Windows filenames.
* gtimer.c:
Conditionalized inclusion of unistd.h and sys/time.h. Added
implementations for Windows.
* gutils.c:
Conditionalized inclusion of platform-dependent headers. Use
the platform-independent file name syntax macros.
Conditionalize code on platform-dependent features. Added the
functions g_path_is_absolute g_path_skip_root and g_getenv.
Added the GIOChannel-related functions. Added
compiler-dependent Unix compatibility functions for Windows.
* makefile.lcc makefile.msc:
New files. Compiler-specific makefiles for LCC-Win32 and
Microsoft C. Only Microsoft C is actually supported currently.
* testglib.c:
Added pathname check cases for Windows. Added workaround for
bug in the Microsoft runtime library. Improved some tests a bit.
Tue Oct 27 04:00:11 1998 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* testgmodule.c (main): changed the #ifdef WIN32 test to NATIVE_WIN32,
this needs to be more constistent throughout the code, do we go for
NATIVE_WIN32 or WIN32?
* gmodule.c (LibMain): special cased the #ifdef __LCC__ case for
NATIVE_WIN32, since lcc maybe used on other platforms as well.
* libgplugin_a.c (LibMain):
* libgplugin_b.c (LibMain):
likewise. not sure i like this special requirement for lcc in here.
* gmodule-dl.c (_g_module_build_path):
feature empty "" directories and prepend the module name with "lib".
* gmodule-dld.c (_g_module_build_path):
* gmodule-win32.c (_g_module_build_path):
feature empty "" directories.
* we need some more magic in the _g_module_build_path variants
so we don't append/prepend lib and .so, .sl or .dll for those names
that already contain it.
* applied patch from Tor Lillqvist for g_module_build_path() and
windows support.
1998-10-20: Tor Lillqvist <tml@iki.fi>
* gmodule/gmodule-win32.c:
New file.
* gmodule/gmodule.c gmodule/gmodule.h:
Added the funcion g_module_build_path that builds the path to
a module file, decorating the name according to the system's
conventions. Added the Windows implementation.
* gmodule/libgplugin_a.c gmodule/libgplugin_b.c:
Added LibMain for LCC-Win32.
* gmodule/testgmodule.c:
Handle Windows dll names.
Sun Oct 25 07:30:10 1998 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* gscanner.c:
(g_scanner_peek_next_char):
(g_scanner_get_char): no more characters are available if read() returns
anything less than 1, not only on 0 return.
* glib.h:
* gstrfuncs.c: final API cleanup of string arrays to suit sopwith's
argument order requirements.
(g_strsplit): renamed from g_str_array_split().
(g_strjoinv): renamed from g_str_array_joinv(), string array is
now passed as last parameter. removed `const' qualifier from string
array pointer (again).
(g_strjoin): new function from sopwith to concatenate strings with
an additional seperator.
(g_strfreev): renamed from g_str_array_free.
Fix new strfuncs back up (again)
- No, incrementing pointers in a loop is not any faster than
indexing an array in a loop with a good compiler, but it is
harder to read.
- strconcat doesn't allow a separator - added g_str_array_join,
renamed g_str_array_join to g_str_array_joinv
- join routines take separator as first argument, as is customary.
Wed Oct 21 17:03:05 1998 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* glib.h:
* gstrfuncs.c: API cleanups of the new g_str* functions for consistency
with the existing naming scheme for g_str* functions. grouped the g_str*
functions that will return a newly allocated string seperatedly. all of
the in_place arguments were skipped, the caller is supposed to pass a
g_strdup()ed string if he wants to retrive a new copy. indentation and
coding style fixups. added some g_return_if_fail() statements.
string array functions are prefixed with g_str_array_.
(g_strdelimit): return the modified string like all other g_str*
functions, that operate in place.
(g_strchug): renamed from g_str_chug(), removed in_place argument.
(g_strchomp): renamed from g_str_chomp(), removed in_place argument.
(g_strstrip): renamed from g_str_strip(), removed in_place argument.
(g_str_array_join): renamed from g_strconcatv(), since it actually
operates on a string array and has totaly different semantics from
g_strconcat(). check for separator != NULL, don't segfault if the first
string is NULL. removed the `const' from the string array that's passed,
so users can operate on gchar** string arrays.
(g_str_array_split): renamed from g_str_split() because we actually
produce a string array. reimplemented this function for efficiency.
removed macro aliases g_str_joinv and g_str_join.
Wed Aug 26 06:32:40 1998 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* glib.h:
* gstrfuncs.c: new function g_strnfill() to return a new string
of specified length, filled with a specific character.
Mon Aug 24 02:08:56 1998 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* glib.h:
* gstring.c:
* gstrfuncs.c:
(g_vsprintf): removed this function which was not publically
exported in glib.h. to export it, it should have been named
differently in the first place, since its semantics differ from
vsprintf(). apart from that, it was a possible cause for
problems since it worked on a previously allocated memory area and
was used in a lot places of glib. exporting it would have been a
guararant for problems with threaded programs.
(g_printf_string_upper_bound): exported this function to return
a string size, guarranteed to be big enough to hold the fully
expanded format+args string. added 'q', 'L' and 'll' flag handling.
in fact, the newly allocated area is in most cases much bigger than
required.
(g_strdup_vprintf()): new function returning a newly allocated string
containing the contents of *format and associated args (size is
calculated with g_printf_string_upper_bound()).
(g_strdup_printf): new function which wraps g_strdup_vprintf().
* configure.in: check for va_copy() or __va_copy() alternatively.
check whether va_lists can be copyied by value.
* glib.h: provide a definition for G_VA_COPY.
* glib.h:
* gmessages.c:
(g_logv):
(g_vsnprintf):
pass va_lists by value, not by reference, since this causes problems
on platforms that implement va_list as as arrays. internaly, use
G_VA_COPY (new_arg, org_arg); va_end (new_arg); to produce a second
va_list variable, if multiple passes are required. changed all
callers.
* glib.h:
* gerror.h:
renamed g_debug() to g_on_error_query(), cleaned up a bit.
renamed g_stack_trace() to g_on_error_stack_trace() since both
functions cluttered different namespaces.
there is an appropriate comment in glib.h now that explains the
unix and gdb specific dependencies of both functions.
removed g_attach_process().
g_on_error_stack_trace() should probably be handled with caution,
i've seem several different linux versions (2.0.x) become unstable
after invokation of this function.
