glib/gobject/ChangeLog

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.

Sat Jun 10 08:38:27 2000  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

	* gtype.c (type_class_init): fetch the nth iface entry of the
	type node in the nth loop iteration, not alwys the first.
	bug discovered by Walt Pohl <cher@suitware.com>.
	(type_data_finalize_class_ifaces): same here, cut and paste
	rulez.

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
	* 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.

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.
