* gmem.[hc]: got rid of outdated dmalloc support.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().

* 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).
*** IMPORTANT *** This is a development version of GLib. You should be using a stable version, which is available at ftp://ftp.gtk.org/pub/gtk/v1.2/. This version is meant for developers of GLib only: * You should not base stable software on this version of GLib. * GNOME developers should use a stable version of GLib. Distributions should *NOT* ship a development package of this GLib. Do not ship the headers and do not ship the glib-config script. These things will conflict with the stable 1.2 series. Package only enough to satisfy the requirements of some other package. Package only the library itself. Doing otherwise will do no favors to the community. If you install this version of GLib, we strongly recommend that you install it in a different prefix than GLib 1.2. Use --prefix as an argument to configure to do this. Otherwise, you will not be able to do development with GLib 1.2 any longer. *** You should be using GLib 1.2 instead. *** General Information =================== This is GLib version 1.3.1. GLib is a library which includes support routines for C such as lists, trees, hashes, memory allocation, and many other things. The official ftp site is: ftp://ftp.gtk.org/pub/gtk The official web site is: http://www.gtk.org/ A mailing list is located at: gtk-list@redhat.com To subscribe: mail -s subscribe gtk-list-request@redhat.com < /dev/null (Send mail to gtk-list-request@redhat.com with the subject "subscribe") Installation ============ See the file 'INSTALL' How to report bugs ================== To report a bug, send mail either to gtk-list, as mentioned above, or to gtk-bugs@gtk.org. If you send mail to gtk-list, you must be subscribed yourself. In the mail include: * The version of GLib * Information about your system. For instance: - What operating system and version - What version of X - For Linux, what version of the C library And anything else you think is relevant. * How to reproduce the bug. If you can reproduce it with the testglib program that is built in the glib/ directory, that will be most convenient. Otherwise, please include a short test program that exhibits the behavior. As a last resort, you can also provide a pointer to a larger piece of software that can be downloaded. * If the bug was a crash, the exact text that was printed out when the crash occured. * Further information such as stack traces may be useful, but is not necessary. Patches ======= Patches can be uploaded to the incoming/ directory on ftp.gtk.org. Please follow the instructions there, and include your name and email address in the README file. If the patch fixes a bug, it is usually a good idea to include all the information described in "How to Report Bugs".
