Currently, when adding new elements to GTree we blindly increment the node counter, which is only of guint size (so 32-bit even on 64-bit Unix platforms). This is even more problematic because the only way to check whether particular GTree is empty is to check whether its node count is zero. This will obviously give wrong answer if this counter overflows. Let's fix this by adding an appropriate check when adding a new node. For the recently added g_tree_{insert,replace}_node () API we can simply return NULL in such case. However, the older g_tree_{insert,replace} () API doesn't have any ability to return an error so for them we follow the example of g_ptr_array_extend () and g_ptr_array_set_size () by calling g_error () when this happens.

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
Only the most recent unstable and stable release series are supported. 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.
Contributing to GLib
Please follow the contribution guide to know how to start contributing to GLib.
Patches should be submitted as merge requests to gitlab.gnome.org. If the patch fixes an existing issue, please refer to the issue in your commit message with the following notation (for issue 123):
Closes: #123
Otherwise, create a new merge request that introduces the change. Filing a separate issue is not required.
