(#136971, Sebastian Wilhelmi, patch by Andrew Paprocki)
2005-12-02 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
* configure.in: Define G_GUINT64_CONSTANT in analogy to
G_GINT64_CONSTANT. (#322568, Andrew Paprocki)
2005-12-02 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
* glib/gslice.c: Win32 portability fixes and C99ism removal,
pointed out by Kazuki Iwamoto. (#323052)
2005-12-02 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
* glib/gatomic.c (g_atomic_int_add): Add a missing volatile for
the IA64 implementation.
Fri Dec 2 16:18:09 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
* glib/gslice.c: some naming and type size fixups.
Fri Dec 2 13:08:58 2005 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* glib/gslice.h (g_slice_free): reworked GCC-specific type-safe macro
variant into something less verbose, but digestible for gcc-3.4.
Fri Dec 2 10:55:07 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
* tests/slice-test.c: extended to perform the benchmarking on the old
memchunk code if 'O' is selected.
* tests/memchunks.c: new file which contains the old GLib mem chunks
implementation with prefix old_mem_chunk_.
* tests/Makefile.am: added memchunks.c
Fri Dec 2 00:16:59 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
* glib/gslice.c: improved gettimeofday() timer resolution by maintaining
acceptable load distribution of the syscall.
(allocator_get_magazine_threshold): reduce minimum/single-thread magazine
sizes to approximately page_size/2.5 to avoid excessive startup allocations.
2005-12-01 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
* tests/gobject/ifacecheck.c (test_iface_base_init): Don't
double-free base interface members.
* tests/Makefile.am: Remove duplicate variable.
Thu Dec 1 17:32:46 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
* glib/gslice.[hc]: new slice allocator implementation.
* tests/slice-test.c: added random slice allocation test.
* glib/gthread.[hc]: removed newly added private thread mem API.
* glib/gthreadinit.h:
* glib/gmessages.c:
* glib/gthread.c:
* glib/gmem.c: divided glib threading initialisation into three phases,
initialisation where private keys and messaging are not available (only
needed by gmem.c), initialisation without messaging but private keys
available (gslice.c, gmessage.c), and full fledged initialisers that
server the rest of glib. initialisation functions got renamed to reflect
the limitations of their corresponding phases.
* glib/gmem.c: removed memchunk code, defer allocations to
g_slice_* instead.
* glib/gmem.[hc]: removed g_slice_* skeletons.
* glib/glib.symbols: added g_slice_* symbols.
* configure.in: check for availability of posix_memalign(3), memalign(3)
and valloc(3).
* glib/Makefile.am: added gslice.[hc].
2005-12-01 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
* glib/gstdio.c (g_stat): In the Win32 implementation, strip
trailing slash(es) for non-root folders. stat() fails if non-root
folders are specified with trailing slashes. It's too much hassle
to demand that callers strip such slashes themselves, especially
as it is easy to get it wrong and strip the slash of a root
folder.
(g_rename): On NT-based Windows, use MoveFileEx() with
MOVEFILE_REPLACE_EXISTING to better match Unix behaviour.
2005-11-28 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
Fix G_STMT_START / G_STMT_END on Solaris. (#321972,
Andrew Paprocki)

* glib/gmacros.h: Use do { } while (0) for G_STMT_START /
G_STMT_END if it works.
2005-11-28 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>

(g_hash_table_foreach_remove_or_steal): Silence compiler
warnings.
2005-11-27 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
* glib/gunicollate.c (g_utf8_collate_key_for_filename):
Don't read beyond len. (#322520, Christian Persch)
Wed Nov 23 17:34:01 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
* glib/gdataset.c: access datalist flags via atomic pointer access
functions, instead of acquiring the dataset lock. this is faster and
also matches the atomic pointer readouts in gdatalistprivate.h and
direct pointer modifications required by gobject.c.
Wed Nov 23 13:35:31 2005 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* glib/gdataset.c: streamlined initialization code somewhat,
removed GData node cache.
2005-11-22 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
* glib/ghash.c (g_hash_table_ref):
(g_hash_table_unref): Mark these as new API.
Avoid double locking in g_intern_string (#322133,
Benedikt Meurer)
* glib/gdataset.c (g_quark_from_string_internal): New
internal function which factors out common parts of
g_quark_from[_static]_string.
(g_quark_from_string, g_quark_from_static_string):
Use g_quark_from_string_internal.
(g_intern_string, g_intern_static_string): Use
g_quark_from_string_internal, and only take the
lock once.
(g_quark_new): Don't store the strings shifted by -1
in the g_quarks array.
(g_quark_to_string): Adapt to the previous change.
Tue Nov 22 14:04:26 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
* glib/ghash.h:
* glib/ghash.c:
g_hash_table_new_full(): create hash tables with a ref count of 1.
g_hash_table_ref(): atomically ref_count+=1
g_hash_table_unref(): atomically ref_count-=1, destroys hash table
when refcount reaches 0.
g_hash_table_destroy(): just destroy keys and values, unref by 1.
g_hash_table_insert():
g_hash_table_replace(): assert ref_count>0.
* glib/gatomic.h:
* glib/gatomic.c: added 'volatile' qualifier to all atomic pointer and
integer pointers.
2005-11-20 Behdad Esfahbod <behdad@gnome.org>

"stutter stepping" for going backwards. (#320638, Larry
Ewing)
* glib/gbacktrace.c:
* glib/gdate.c:
* glib/gthread.c: const correctness fixes, found
by Arjan van de Ven and gcc.
2005-11-16 Behdad Esfahbod <behdad@gnome.org>

2005-11-07 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
* glib/gmem.c (g_allocator_new): We need to set n_preallocs to a
nonzero value, otherwise GTK+ 2.8 breaks when compiled against
GLib 2.9. (#320755, Luca Ferretti)
2005-11-04 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
* glib/Makefile.am: Apply a patch from Behdad Esfahbod to
use a faster lookup table for g_unichar_get_mirror_char().
* glib/gmirroringtable.h: The new table.
* glib/gunichartables.h: Remove bidi_mirroring_table.
* glib/gen-unicode-tables.pl: Don't generate the mirroring

Vincent Untz)
2005-11-02 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
* glib/glib.symbols: Remove large amount of trailing whitespace
from one line. Remove #ifdef G_UNDEFINED from around
g_hash_table_new and g_hash_table_new_full symbols, what was the
purpose of that? Add the g_slice functions.
Tue Nov 1 16:24:20 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
* glib/gmem.[hc]: prepared deprecation of GMemChunk and GAllocator.
added g_slice_*() API to allocate and cache small bits of memory.
an actuall allocator implementation for g_slice_*() is still pending.
* glib/gthread.[hc]: changes from a patch by Matthias Clasen.
changed GRealThread list to use in-structure *next; fields instead
of GSList, in order for thread iteration to not depenend on g_slice_*()
indirectly.
_g_thread_mem_private_get():
_g_thread_mem_private_set(): added accessors for private memory,
needed because the ordinary GPrivate implementation relies on GArray
and GSList and therefore indirectly on working g_slice_*() allocations.
* glib/gthread.[hc]:
g_thread_foreach(): new public API function to loop over all existing threads.
* glib/gdataset.c:
* glib/gstring.c:
* glib/gcache.c:
* glib/garray.c:
* glib/gqueue.c:
* glib/gslist.c:
* glib/glist.c:
* glib/ghash.c:
* glib/gtree.c:
* glib/ghook.c:
* glib/gmain.c:
* glib/gnode.c:
removed GAllocator and free list usages and accompanying locks.
use g_slice_*() API to allocate and cache small bits of memory.
* glib/ghook.h: removed GMemChunk field from public API.
* glib/gslist.h:
* glib/glist.h: deprecate allocator API, provide _free1() for consistency.
* glib/gnode.h: deprecate allocator API.
* glib/gmain.c: reordered GPollRec fields so g_slice_free_chain() can
be used for poll rec lists.
* glib/grel.c: removed mem chunk usage, and allocated tuples via g_slice_*().
g_relation_destroy(): free all tuples from the all_tuples hash table,
this effectively maintains the life time track keeping of tuples.
g_relation_delete_tuple(): free tuples which are removed from the
all_tuples hash table. this fixes a temporary leak that was present
in the memchunk code until the destruction of the relation.
2005-10-29 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
* tests/convert-test.c: Add some tests for conversions between
UTF-8, UCS-4 and UTF-16.
* glib/gutf8.c (g_utf8_to_ucs4, g_utf8_to_utf16): Fix handling
of len == -1, noticed by Morten Welinder.
2005-10-27 Erdal Ronahi <erdal.ronahi@gmail.com>
* configure.in: Added ku (Kurdish) to ALL_LINGUAS
2005-10-26 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
* glib/gutf8.c (g_ucs4_to_utf8): Don't set items_read twice
in the error case, and add some documentation. (#319806, Morten
Welinder)
2005-10-19 Manish Singh <yosh@gimp.org>
* configure.in: Use AC_CHECK_FUNCS for _NSGetEnviron, to get the
config.h symbol automatically. Fixes bug #313731.
2005-10-19 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
* glib/gwin32.c (g_win32_get_package_installation_directory):
Return a g_strdup()ed copy of the value stored in the hash table,
so that it can be g_free()d without leaving a dangling pointer in
the hash table. (#319232)
2005-10-06 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
* glib/gunicollate.c (g_utf8_collate_key_for_filename): Handle
all-zero sequences correctly. (#317930, Sebastien Bacher)
2005-10-05 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
* glib/gmarkup.c (g_markup_escape_text): Doc addition
* Makefile.am: Add Collation tests.
* tests/collate/*: Inputs and expected outputs for collation tests.
* tests/run-collate-tests.sh: Script to run collation tests.
* tests/unicode-collate.c (main): Rework slightly to make
it usable in unit tests. Also test g_utf8_collate_key_for_filename().
2005-10-01 Behdad Esfahbod <behdad@gnome.org>
* docs/reference/glib/tmpl/unicode.sgml:
* glib/gen-unicode-tables.pl:
* glib/gunibreak.h:
* glib/gunichartables.h:
* glib/gunicode.h:
* tests/casefold.txt:
* tests/casemap.txt: Updated to Unicode 4.1. There are five new
GUnicodeBreakType types. That may break some applications, like
Pango <= 1.10.
2005-09-26 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
* glib/gstrfuncs.c (g_ascii_strtoull): Add details to the
docs. (#314393, Matthew F. Barnes)
* glib/glib.symbols:
* glib/gprintf.h: Remove g_snprintf() and g_vsnprintf(), since
they are already declared in glib.h. This doesn't break documented
use of gprintf.h, but should probably be pointed out in the
release notes for 2.10. (#314232, Behdad Esfahbod)
Tue Sep 20 13:16:04 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
* glib/gpattern.c (g_pattern_ph_match): applied significant recursion
complexity optimization, based on a patch from Matthias Clasen.
* tests/patterntest.c: more tests, mostly from matthias.
2005-09-20 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
* glib/gqueue.c (g_queue_insert_sorted): Correct the docs.
(#316703, Mark Drago)
Mon Sep 19 17:23:23 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
* glib/gpattern.c: applied a patch from matthias which checks on the
upper bound of GPatternSpec length to optimize matches.
cosmetic fixups.
* tests/patterntest.c: added more match cases.
2005-09-16 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
* glib/gstrfuncs.c (g_ascii_strcasecmp, g_ascii_strncasecmp): Add
warning to doc comment that these functions should not be used on
encodings like CP932.
2005-09-14 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
* tests/keyfile-test.c: Add a test for grup names of length 1.
* glib/gkeyfile.c (g_key_file_line_is_group): Accept group names
of length 1. (#316309)
2005-09-12 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
* glib/gmarkup.c (g_markup_escape_text): Clarify docs.
2005-09-11 Sebastian Wilhelmi <seppi@seppi.de>
* tests/refcount/Makefile.am (INCLUDES): Link the the refcount
tests to the system thread library $(G_THREAD_LIBS). Fixes #313744
and #314217.
2005-09-11 Kjartan Maraas <kmaraas@gnome.org>
* glib/gmain.c: (g_child_watch_prepare), (g_child_watch_check),
(child_watch_helper_thread): Remove some dead code. Closes
bug #315278.
2005-09-07 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
* glib/Makefile.am: Create also a console version of the
gspawn-win32-helper program, gspawn-win32-helper-console.exe.
It's otherwise identical to gspawn-win32-helper.exe, except marked
as a console application (linked without the -mwindows option).
* glib/gspawn-win32.c (do_spawn_directly, do_spawn_with_pipes):
Drop the dont_wait parameter. Its truth value correlated 100% with
the NULLness of the exit_status parameter anyway, so it's enough
to check whether exit_status is NULL. Invert the sense of the
dont_return_handle parameter and rename it to do_return_handle, to
make the code easier to read by avoiding double negations.
(g_spawn_sync_utf8, g_spawn_async_with_pipes_utf8): Modify calls
to do_spawn_with_pipes() accordingly.
(do_spawn_with_pipes): If we have a console, use the console
version of the helper program, otherwise use the GUI one. This
avoids extra console windows opening up in some situations. (In
case a console application uses the GUI gspawn-win32-helper.exe to
spawn another console application we would get a separate console
for the spawned console application).
* glib-zip.in: Distribute also gspawn-win32-helper-console.exe.
2005-09-05 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
* glib/gmappedfile.c (g_mapped_file_new): Report an error
if the file is too large. (#315275, Kjartan Maraas)
* glib/gkeyfile.c (g_key_file_load_from_fd): The return value
of read() is signed. (#315273, Kjartan Maraas)
2005-08-31 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
* glib/gutils.h: Wrapping atexit() is a bad idea on Windows, where
the EXE and each DLL have their own atexit function chains.
#define g_atexit as atexit instead. This means it has a
better chance of doing what the caller wants. For instance,
gtkhtml calls g_atexit() registering a function in gtkhtml
itself. This caused a crash when g_atexit() was implemented as a
function in the GLib DLL. The gtkhtml DLL was already unloaded by
the time the GLib DLL got unloaded.
* glib/gutils.c: #undef the #define mentioned above, to also get a
real g_atexit() into the DLL for backward compatibility. Document
the Windows behaviour of g_atexit(), and document the varying ways
atexit() can behave in the context of dynamically loaded modules
on Unix.
2005-08-31 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
* glib/glib.symbols:
* glib/gquark.h:
* glib/gdataset.c: Add string interning functions.
2005-08-28 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
* glib/giochannel.c: Unify some near-duplicate strings. (#314654,
Clytie Siddall)
2005-08-26 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
* configure.in: Bump version to 2.9.0
2005-08-25 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
Make also the g_spawn*() functions take parameters in the GLib
file name encoding, i.e. UTF-8, on Windows. Has no impact on Unix
API or ABI. Like the other GLib API that was earlier changed to
use UTF-8 on Windows, the names of the functions that take UTF-8
have _utf8 suffixes added by using preprocessor macros in the
header file. The old names are kept for functions with the old
behaviour, taking parameters in the system codepage, for DLL ABI
stability.
* glib/gspawn.h: On Win32 add the suffix _utf8 to the names of the
g_spawn*() functions.
* glib/gspawn-win32.c: Use wide-char API on NT-based
Windows. Convert parameters from UTF-8 to wide chars (NT) or
system codepage (Win9x) and call the C library _wspawn*() or
spawn*() functions respectvely. Add DLL ABI stability versions
that take parameters in the system codepage.
* glib/gspawn-win32-helper.c: On NT-based Windows use the
wide-char versions of argv and envp, and use wide-char API to
change directory and spawn the program to run. Remove the verbose
debugging output, it was too complex to modify for the wide-char
features. (Just add temporary debugging printouts if needed, no
need to have them permanently in the source.)
* glib/gspawn.c: Corresponding documentation updates.
* glib/glib.symbols: Corresponding changes: Mark the ABI stability
symbols as PRIVATE, add the new _utf8-suffixed ones.
2005-08-24 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
* glib/gtypes.h (G_MININT64): Cast the constant to gint64; it is
guint64 otherwise and that can produce warnings about comparison
between signed and unsigned.
2005-08-23 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
* glib/gutils.c: Fix the crt_externs.h include.

2005-08-16 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
* glib/gutils.c (g_get_any_init): Move the body of the big if...
(g_get_any_init_do): ... to this new function.
(g_get_any_init): Declare as inline.
(g_get_any_init_locked): New inline function, does the locking.

the child process and then simply return. This makes
The "S" option work as documented in g_on_error_query().
(#313125, Matthew F. Barnes)
