Previously: - if the object is currently not frozen, we called g_object_notify_queue_freeze() once. Afterwards dispatch the event directly. This is probably the common case, and requires one notify_lock lock. - if the object is currently frozen, we call g_object_notify_queue_freeze(), g_object_notify_queue_add(). g_object_notify_queue_thaw(). This required taking the notify_lock three times. - if the object is currently not frozen and in_init, then we called g_object_notify_queue_freeze(), g_object_notify_queue_freeze(), g_object_notify_queue_add(). This also required to take the lock three times. There is another thaw at the end of object initialization. That was because we first call g_object_notify_queue_freeze() to see whether we are frozen. And depending on that, queue the event (and thaw again). Instead, g_object_notify_queue_add() can do the check and queueing in one step. There is no need to call a freeze() to (conditionally) enqueue a notification. Now only one lock is taken in all cases. Also, g_object_notify_queue_freeze() and g_object_notify_queue_thaw() both call g_datalist_id_get_data() (which also take a bit lock). As the thaw is no longer necessary, the second lock is also saved. |

GLib
GLib is the low-level core library that forms the basis for projects such as GTK and GNOME. It provides data structure handling for C, portability wrappers, and interfaces for such runtime functionality as an event loop, threads, dynamic loading, and an object system.
The official download locations are: https://download.gnome.org/sources/glib
The official web site is: https://www.gtk.org/
Installation
See the file ‘INSTALL.md’. There is separate and more in-depth documentation for building GLib on Windows.
Supported versions
Upstream GLib only supports the most recent stable release series, the previous stable release series, and the current development release series. All older versions are not supported upstream and may contain bugs, some of which may be exploitable security vulnerabilities.
See SECURITY.md for more details.
Documentation
API documentation is available online for GLib for the:
Discussion
If you have a question about how to use GLib, seek help on GNOME’s Discourse
instance. Alternatively, ask a question
on StackOverflow and tag it glib
.
Reporting bugs
Bugs should be reported to the GNOME issue tracking system. You will need to create an account for yourself. You may also submit bugs by e-mail (without an account) by e-mailing incoming+gnome-glib-658-issue-@gitlab.gnome.org, but this will give you a degraded experience.
Bugs are for reporting problems in GLib itself, not for asking questions about how to use it. To ask questions, use one of our discussion forums.
In bug reports please include:
- Information about your system. For instance:
- What operating system and version
- 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 one of the test programs that are built
in the
tests/
subdirectory, 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 you can reproduce it with one of the test programs that are built
in the
- If the bug was a crash, the exact text that was printed out when the crash occurred.
- Further information such as stack traces may be useful, but is not necessary.
