Thu Jun 29 15:57:28 2000 Owen Taylor <otaylor@redhat.com> * NEWS: updated * Makefile.am: added snapcheck target to go along with snapshot * gstring.c glib.h (g_string_hash): Add g_string_hash to go along with g_string_equal. Tue Jun 27 12:40:23 EDT 2000 David A. Wheeler <dwheeler@dwheeler.com> * glib.h: Added g_string_equal for comparing GStrings; changed g_str_equal so it returns gboolean (instead of gint). * gstring.c: Modified GString implementation to support embedded ASCII NUL ('\0') characters, and implemented g_string_equal. * testglib.c tests/string-test.c: Added tests for g_string_equal and tests for proper handling of embedded ASCII NUL characters.

Tue Oct 12 14:17:12 1999 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org> * glib.h: removed useless g_string(x) macro that cluttered the namespace and was just a poor wrapper around the cpp '#' symbol, use #x if you need to work around this. added new macro G_STRINGIFY(arg) that will convert arg to a string, no matter whether it contains macros or not.
1999-08-15eliminate memset() call, since string.h has not neccessarily been includedTim Janik
Sun Aug 15 02:47:14 1999 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org> * glib.h (g_trash_stack_pop): eliminate memset() call, since string.h has not neccessarily been included prior to glib.h. Mon Aug 2 21:03:10 1999 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org> * configure.in: added --enable-msg-prefix option. * gmessages.c (g_log_default_handler): feature "prg_name (pid:%u): " if --enable-msg-prefix was selected (use "(process:%u): " if g_get_prgname () returns NULL, along the lines of g_on_error_query).
1999-08-02glib.h gstrfuncs.c Rename g_strccpy to g_strcompress and g_strecpy toTor Lillqvist
* glib.h * gstrfuncs.c * tests/strfunc-test.c: Rename g_strccpy to g_strcompress and g_strecpy to g_strescape per Tim Janik's suggestion. Dropped the destination parameter, always g_malloc a new string. Fix bug in g_strcompress, octal digits were gobbled up without limit, should use max three. Sources that use g_strescape must have ifdefs to be compilable both with GLib 1.2 and 1.3.
1999-07-2418:36. incorporated proposed cleanups from gtk-devel-list.Tim Janik
Sat Jul 24 20:11:35 1999 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org> * merged GLib 1.3.0 with glib-1.2.3 from Fri Jul 16 22:18:36. * incorporated proposed cleanups from gtk-devel-list. * bumped version number to GLib-1.3.1 * glib.h: * gqueue.c: * gstring.c: * glist.c: removed string tokenisation (we got g_strsplit() and g_strjoin() already) and readline functions. s/g_list_delete/g_list_delete_link. implemented g_slist_delete_link. removed notion of g_ATEXIT() macro in glib.h, this is an *internal* macro, g_atexit() is provided for public consumption. added GTrashStack inline utility functions. reimplement double eneded queues. removed GStack implementation, people can use a queue or a (singly) linked list for this task. deprecated g_strescape(), we need the SunOS variants here. * gdate.c: added DEBUG_MSG() macro to wrap old messages. * *.*: CVS merges. * upgrade to libtool 1.3.3.

1998-12-16Overview of Changes in GLib 1.1.8:Owen Taylor
* Added threading support - The ability to specify a set of functions to be used for locking at runtime. - Default implementations of locking functions for pthreads, Solaris threads, and (experimentally) NSPR. - All static variables should now properly locked. - Enhancements to the generic main-loop mechanism to be thread-safe. (It is used for the main-loop in GTK+ as of GTK+-1.1.8) * Portability fixes.

1998-09-21NEWS file update for upcoming release of GLib + GModule version 1.1.3,Tim Janik
Mon Sep 21 02:22:12 1998 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org> * NEWS file update for upcoming release of GLib + GModule version 1.1.3, binary age 0, interface age 0. (GModule uses the same version numbers as GLib.) * glib.h: swap the inclusion of of float.h and limits.h to work around a egcs 1.1 oddity on Solaris 2.5.1 (fix provided by Per Abrahamsen <abraham@dina.kvl.dk>). * glib.h: * gscanner.c: renamed the GValue union to GTokenValue, this should not affect source compatibility in most cases. * ghash.c: added some g_return_if_fail() statements. make g_hash_table_lookup_node() an inline function so we save an extra function invokation on lookups. Mon Sep 21 01:54:48 1998 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org> * gmodule.h: * gmodule.c: renamed old _de_init functionality to _unload. modules are now expected to export: G_MODULE_EXPORT const gchar* g_module_check_init (GModule *module); and G_MODULE_EXPORT void g_module_unload (GModule *module); returning a string other than NULL from g_module_check_init() will prevent the module from being loaded. a call to g_module_make_resident() from g_module_unload() will prevent the module from being unloaded and still make it resident.
1998-08-24removed this function which was not publically exported in glib.h. toTim Janik
Mon Aug 24 02:08:56 1998 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org> * glib.h: * gstring.c: * gstrfuncs.c: (g_vsprintf): removed this function which was not publically exported in glib.h. to export it, it should have been named differently in the first place, since its semantics differ from vsprintf(). apart from that, it was a possible cause for problems since it worked on a previously allocated memory area and was used in a lot places of glib. exporting it would have been a guararant for problems with threaded programs. (g_printf_string_upper_bound): exported this function to return a string size, guarranteed to be big enough to hold the fully expanded format+args string. added 'q', 'L' and 'll' flag handling. in fact, the newly allocated area is in most cases much bigger than required. (g_strdup_vprintf()): new function returning a newly allocated string containing the contents of *format and associated args (size is calculated with g_printf_string_upper_bound()). (g_strdup_printf): new function which wraps g_strdup_vprintf(). * configure.in: check for va_copy() or __va_copy() alternatively. check whether va_lists can be copyied by value. * glib.h: provide a definition for G_VA_COPY. * glib.h: * gmessages.c: (g_logv): (g_vsnprintf): pass va_lists by value, not by reference, since this causes problems on platforms that implement va_list as as arrays. internaly, use G_VA_COPY (new_arg, org_arg); va_end (new_arg); to produce a second va_list variable, if multiple passes are required. changed all callers. * glib.h: * gerror.h: renamed g_debug() to g_on_error_query(), cleaned up a bit. renamed g_stack_trace() to g_on_error_stack_trace() since both functions cluttered different namespaces. there is an appropriate comment in glib.h now that explains the unix and gdb specific dependencies of both functions. removed g_attach_process(). g_on_error_stack_trace() should probably be handled with caution, i've seem several different linux versions (2.0.x) become unstable after invokation of this function.
1998-08-16version bump to 1.1.3, binary age 0, interface age 0.Tim Janik
Sun Aug 16 20:28:27 1998 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org> * version bump to 1.1.3, binary age 0, interface age 0. * glib.h: be nice to platforms that don't have gint64 and don't issue #warning on every compilation. since glib doesn't require gint64 itself, packages that need gint64 should test for this themselves. * glib.h: * gutils.c: added a new function g_vsnprintf(). Fri Aug 14 16:41:53 1998 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org> * glib.h: added static inline functions for bit mask tests: g_bit_nth_lsf, g_bit_nth_msf and g_bit_storage. Fri Aug 13 14:23:37 1998 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org> * glib.h: * gmessages.c: revised the message handling system, which is now based on a new mechanism g_log*. most of the assertment macros got adapted to feature the new g_log() call with an additional specification of the log level in a preprocessor macro G_LOG_DOMAIN. if G_LOG_DOMAIN is undefined upon the includion of glib.h, it'll be defined with a value of (NULL) and thus preserves the original bahaviour for warning and error messages. the message handler setting functions for g_warning, g_error and g_message are only provided for backwards compatibility and might get removed somewhen. * Makefile.am: feature the G_LOG_DOMAIN macro to set the log domain to "GLib" upon compilation. we currently have to add this definition to the DEFS variable. * testglib.c: we need an ugly #undef G_LOG_DOMAIN at the start of this file currently, since automake doesn't support per target _CFLAGS yet. * glib.h: changed some gints to gbooleans, made a few const corrections, removed some superfluous G_STMT_START{}G_STMT_END wrappers, added some in other required places. * gnode.c: (g_node_prepend): (g_node_insert_before): (g_node_insert): (g_node_append_data): (g_node_prepend_data): (g_node_insert_data_before): (g_node_insert_data): (g_node_append): return (node), so these macros/functions can be usefully chained with g_node_new(). [GModule] Fri Aug 14 02:24:39 1998 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org> * Makefile.am: feature the G_LOG_DOMAIN macro to set the log domain to "GModule" upon compilation. we currently have to add this definition to the DEFS variable. * testgmodule.c: we need an ugly #undef G_LOG_DOMAIN at the start of this file currently, since automake doesn't support per target _CFLAGS yet.
