    544 	setup when the error occours.
    545 	removed G_SLICE_CONFIG_ALWAYS_FREE config option, fixed the code so
    546 	always freeing can be achieved by adjusting the working set time to
    547 	0 with G_SLICE_CONFIG_WORKING_SET_MSECS.
    548 	added G_SLICE_CONFIG_COLOR_INCREMENT to test different color increments
    549 	(mainly 0 and 1). reduced the minimum block size to 128 bytes, to
    550 	minimize wastage if small amounts of differently sized structrues are
    551 	allocated, this does come at a performance cost of roughly 5% though.
    552 	fixed up block alignment calculation, so it works for varying
    553 	block sizes. only use strerror() not g_strerror() since the latter
    554 	depends on working GQuark and GSlice.
    555 	mem_error(): implemented in terms of fprintf and vfprintf.

    773 
    774 Fri Dec  2 13:08:58 2005  Tim Janik  <timj (a] gtk.org>
    775 
    776 	* glib/gslice.h (g_slice_free): reworked GCC-specific type-safe macro
    777 	variant into something less verbose, but digestible for gcc-3.4.
    778 
    779 Fri Dec  2 10:55:07 2005  Tim Janik  <timj (a] imendio.com>
    780 
    781 	* tests/slice-test.c: extended to perform the benchmarking on the old
    782 	memchunk code if 'O' is selected.
    783 
    784 	* tests/memchunks.c: new file which contains the old GLib mem chunks
    785 	implementation with prefix old_mem_chunk_.
    786 
    787 	* tests/Makefile.am: added memchunks.c
    788

    792 	acceptable load distribution of the syscall.
    793 	(allocator_get_magazine_threshold): reduce minimum/single-thread magazine
    794 	sizes to approximately page_size/2.5 to avoid excessive startup allocations.
    795 
    796 2005-12-01  Matthias Clasen  <mclasen (a] redhat.com>

    802 
    803 Thu Dec  1 17:32:46 2005  Tim Janik  <timj (a] imendio.com>
    804 
    805 	* glib/gslice.[hc]: new slice allocator implementation.
    806 
    807 	* tests/slice-test.c: added random slice allocation test.
    808 
    809 	* glib/gthread.[hc]: removed newly added private thread mem API.
    810 
    811 	* glib/gthreadinit.h:
    812 	* glib/gmessages.c:
    813 	* glib/gthread.c:
    814 	* glib/gmem.c: divided glib threading initialisation into three phases,
    815 	initialisation where private keys and messaging are not available (only
    816 	needed by gmem.c), initialisation without messaging but private keys
    817 	available (gslice.c, gmessage.c), and full fledged initialisers that
    818 	server the rest of glib. initialisation functions got renamed to reflect
    819 	the limitations of their corresponding phases.
    820 
    821 	* glib/gmem.c: removed memchunk code, defer allocations to 
    822 	g_slice_* instead.
    823

    825 
    826 	* glib/glib.symbols: added g_slice_* symbols.
    827 
    828 	* configure.in: check for availability of posix_memalign(3), memalign(3)
    829 	and valloc(3). 
    830 
    831 	* glib/Makefile.am: added gslice.[hc].
    832 
    833 2005-12-01  Tor Lillqvist  <tml (a] novell.com>
    834 
    835 	* glib/gstdio.c (g_stat): In the Win32 implementation, strip
    836 	trailing slash(es) for non-root folders. stat() fails if non-root
    837 	folders are specified with trailing slashes. It's too much hassle
    838 	to demand that callers strip such slashes themselves, especially
    839 	as it is easy to get it wrong and strip the slash of a root
    840 	folder.
    841 	(g_rename): On NT-based Windows, use MoveFileEx() with
    842 	MOVEFILE_REPLACE_EXISTING to better match Unix behaviour.
    843 
    844 2005-11-28  Matthias Clasen  <mclasen (a] redhat.com>

    846 	Fix G_STMT_START / G_STMT_END on Solaris.  (#321972,

    848 	
    849 	* configure.in: Check whether do { } while (0) works.
    850 
    851 	* glib/gmacros.h: Use do { } while (0) for G_STMT_START / 
    852 	G_STMT_END if it works.

    861 	warnings.

    868 Wed Nov 23 17:34:01 2005  Tim Janik  <timj (a] imendio.com>
    869 
    870 	* glib/gdataset.c: access datalist flags via atomic pointer access
    871 	functions, instead of acquiring the dataset lock. this is faster and
    872 	also matches the atomic pointer readouts in gdatalistprivate.h and
    873 	direct pointer modifications required by gobject.c.
    874 
    875 Wed Nov 23 13:35:31 2005  Tim Janik  <timj (a] gtk.org>
    876 
    877 	* glib/gdataset.c: streamlined initialization code somewhat,
    878 	removed GData node cache.
    879

    885 	Avoid double locking in g_intern_string (#322133,
    886 	Benedikt Meurer)
    887 
    888 	* glib/gdataset.c (g_quark_from_string_internal): New 
    889 	internal function which factors out common parts of 
    890 	g_quark_from[_static]_string.
    891 	(g_quark_from_string, g_quark_from_static_string):
    892 	Use g_quark_from_string_internal.
    893 	(g_intern_string, g_intern_static_string): Use
    894 	g_quark_from_string_internal, and only take the
    895 	lock once.
    896 	(g_quark_new): Don't store the strings shifted by -1
    897 	in the g_quarks array.
    898 	(g_quark_to_string): Adapt to the previous change.
    899 
    900 Tue Nov 22 14:04:26 2005  Tim Janik  <timj (a] imendio.com>
    901 
    902 	* glib/ghash.h: 
    903 	* glib/ghash.c: 
    904 	g_hash_table_new_full(): create hash tables with a ref count of 1.
    905 	g_hash_table_ref(): atomically ref_count+=1
    906 	g_hash_table_unref(): atomically ref_count-=1, destroys hash table
    907 	when refcount reaches 0.
    908 	g_hash_table_destroy(): just destroy keys and values, unref by 1.
    909 	g_hash_table_insert():

    993 
    994 	* glib/gmem.c (g_allocator_new): We need to set n_preallocs to a

    999 
   1000 	* glib/Makefile.am: Apply a patch from Behdad Esfahbod to

   1003 	* glib/gunichartables.h: Remove bidi_mirroring_table.
   1004 	* glib/gen-unicode-tables.pl: Don't generate the mirroring
   1005 	table.
   1006 	* glib/glib-mirroring-tab/*: Sources for the program

   1023 	purpose of that? Add the g_slice functions.
   1024 
   1025 Tue Nov  1 16:24:20 2005  Tim Janik  <timj (a] imendio.com>
   1026 
   1027 	* glib/gmem.[hc]: prepared deprecation of GMemChunk and GAllocator.
   1028 	added g_slice_*() API to allocate and cache small bits of memory.
   1029 	an actuall allocator implementation for g_slice_*() is still pending.
   1030 
   1031 	* glib/gthread.[hc]: changes from a patch by Matthias Clasen.
   1032 	changed GRealThread list to use in-structure *next; fields instead
   1033 	of GSList, in order for thread iteration to not depenend on g_slice_*()
   1034 	indirectly.
   1035 	_g_thread_mem_private_get():
   1036 	_g_thread_mem_private_set(): added accessors for private memory,
   1037 	needed because the ordinary GPrivate implementation relies on GArray
   1038 	and GSList and therefore indirectly on working g_slice_*() allocations.
   1039 
   1040 	* glib/gthread.[hc]:
   1041 	g_thread_foreach(): new public API function to loop over all existing threads.
   1042

   1044 	* glib/gstring.c:

   1053 	* glib/gmain.c:
   1054 	* glib/gnode.c:
   1055 	removed GAllocator and free list usages and accompanying locks.
   1056 	use g_slice_*() API to allocate and cache small bits of memory.
   1057 
   1058 	* glib/ghook.h: removed GMemChunk field from public API.
   1059 
   1060 	* glib/gslist.h:
   1061 	* glib/glist.h: deprecate allocator API, provide _free1() for consistency.
   1062 
   1063 	* glib/gnode.h: deprecate allocator API.
   1064 
   1065 	* glib/gmain.c: reordered GPollRec fields so g_slice_free_chain() can
   1066 	be used for poll rec lists.
   1067 
   1068 	* glib/grel.c: removed mem chunk usage, and allocated tuples via g_slice_*().
   1069 	g_relation_destroy(): free all tuples from the all_tuples hash table,
   1070 	this effectively maintains the life time track keeping of tuples.
   1071 	g_relation_delete_tuple(): free tuples which are removed from the
   1072 	all_tuples hash table. this fixes a temporary leak that was present
   1073 	in the memchunk code until the destruction of the relation.
   1074 
   1075 2005-10-29  Matthias Clasen  <mclasen (a] redhat.com>

   1078 	UTF-8, UCS-4 and UTF-16.
   1079 
   1080 	* glib/gutf8.c (g_utf8_to_ucs4, g_utf8_to_utf16): Fix handling
   1081 	of len == -1, noticed by Morten Welinder.
   1082

   1098 2005-10-19  Tor Lillqvist  <tml (a] novell.com>
   1099 
   1100 	* glib/gwin32.c (g_win32_get_package_installation_directory):
   1101 	Return a g_strdup()ed copy of the value stored in the hash table,
   1102 	so that it can be g_free()d without leaving a dangling pointer in
   1103 	the hash table. (#319232)

   1121 	it usable in unit tests. Also test g_utf8_collate_key_for_filename().

   1138 	docs.  (#314393, Matthew F. Barnes)
   1139 
   1140 	* glib/glib.symbols:
   1141 	* glib/gprintf.h: Remove g_snprintf() and g_vsnprintf(), since
   1142 	they are already declared in glib.h. This doesn't break documented
   1143 	use of gprintf.h, but should probably be pointed out in the 
   1144 	release notes for 2.10. (#314232, Behdad Esfahbod)

   1159 
   1160 	* glib/gpattern.c: applied a patch from matthias which checks on the
   1161 	upper bound of GPatternSpec length to optimize matches.
   1162 	cosmetic fixups.
   1163 
   1164 	* tests/patterntest.c: added more match cases.

   1184 
   1185 	* tests/refcount/Makefile.am (INCLUDES): Link the the refcount
   1186 	tests to the system thread library $(G_THREAD_LIBS). Fixes #313744
   1187 	and #314217.
   1188 
   1189 2005-09-11  Kjartan Maraas  <kmaraas (a] gnome.org>
   1190 
   1191 	* glib/gmain.c: (g_child_watch_prepare), (g_child_watch_check),
   1192 	(child_watch_helper_thread): Remove some dead code. Closes
   1193 	bug #315278.
   1194 
   1195 2005-09-07  Tor Lillqvist  <tml (a] novell.com>
   1196 
   1197 	* glib/Makefile.am: Create also a console version of the
   1198 	gspawn-win32-helper program, gspawn-win32-helper-console.exe.
   1199 	It's otherwise identical to gspawn-win32-helper.exe, except marked
   1200 	as a console application (linked without the -mwindows option).
   1201 	
   1202 	* glib/gspawn-win32.c (do_spawn_directly, do_spawn_with_pipes):
   1203 	Drop the dont_wait parameter. Its truth value correlated 100% with
   1204 	the NULLness of the exit_status parameter anyway, so it's enough
   1205 	to check whether exit_status is NULL. Invert the sense of the
   1206 	dont_return_handle parameter and rename it to do_return_handle, to
   1207 	make the code easier to read by avoiding double negations.
   1208 
   1209 	(g_spawn_sync_utf8, g_spawn_async_with_pipes_utf8): Modify calls
   1210 	to do_spawn_with_pipes() accordingly.
   1211 
   1212 	(do_spawn_with_pipes): If we have a console, use the console
   1213 	version of the helper program, otherwise use the GUI one. This
   1214 	avoids extra console windows opening up in some situations. (In
   1215 	case a console application uses the GUI gspawn-win32-helper.exe to
   1216 	spawn another console application we would get a separate console
   1217 	for the spawned console application).
   1218 
   1219 	* glib-zip.in: Distribute also gspawn-win32-helper-console.exe.

   1224 	if the file is too large.  (#315275, Kjartan Maraas)
   1225 
   1226 	* glib/gkeyfile.c (g_key_file_load_from_fd): The return value
   1227 	of read() is signed.  (#315273, Kjartan Maraas)
   1228 	
   1229 2005-08-31  Tor Lillqvist  <tml (a] novell.com>
   1230 
   1231 	* glib/gutils.h: Wrapping atexit() is a bad idea on Windows, where
   1232 	the EXE and each DLL have their own atexit function chains.
   1233 
   1234 	#define g_atexit as atexit instead. This means it has a
   1235 	better chance of doing what the caller wants. For instance,
   1236 	gtkhtml calls g_atexit() registering a function in gtkhtml
   1237 	itself. This caused a crash when g_atexit() was implemented as a
   1238 	function in the GLib DLL. The gtkhtml DLL was already unloaded by
   1239 	the time the GLib DLL got unloaded.
   1240 
   1241 	* glib/gutils.c: #undef the #define mentioned above, to also get a
   1242 	real g_atexit() into the DLL for backward compatibility. Document
   1243 	the Windows behaviour of g_atexit(), and document the varying ways
   1244 	atexit() can behave in the context of dynamically loaded modules
   1245 	on Unix.

   1258 2005-08-26  Matthias Clasen  <mclasen (a] redhat.com>
   1259 
   1260 	* configure.in: Bump version to 2.9.0
   1261 
   1262 2005-08-25  Tor Lillqvist  <tml (a] novell.com>
   1263 
   1264 	Make also the g_spawn*() functions take parameters in the GLib
   1265 	file name encoding, i.e. UTF-8, on Windows. Has no impact on Unix
   1266 	API or ABI. Like the other GLib API that was earlier changed to
   1267 	use UTF-8 on Windows, the names of the functions that take UTF-8
   1268 	have _utf8 suffixes added by using preprocessor macros in the
   1269 	header file. The old names are kept for functions with the old
   1270 	behaviour, taking parameters in the system codepage, for DLL ABI
   1271 	stability.
   1272 	
   1273 	* glib/gspawn.h: On Win32 add the suffix _utf8 to the names of the
   1274 	g_spawn*() functions.
   1275 	
   1276 	* glib/gspawn-win32.c: Use wide-char API on NT-based
   1277 	Windows. Convert parameters from UTF-8 to wide chars (NT) or
   1278 	system codepage (Win9x) and call the C library _wspawn*() or
   1279 	spawn*() functions respectvely. Add DLL ABI stability versions
   1280 	that take parameters in the system codepage.
   1281 
   1282 	* glib/gspawn-win32-helper.c: On NT-based Windows use the
   1283 	wide-char versions of argv and envp, and use wide-char API to
   1284 	change directory and spawn the program to run. Remove the verbose
   1285 	debugging output, it was too complex to modify for the wide-char
   1286 	features. (Just add temporary debugging printouts if needed, no
   1287 	need to have them permanently in the source.)
   1288 
   1289 	* glib/gspawn.c: Corresponding documentation updates.
   1290 
   1291 	* glib/glib.symbols: Corresponding changes: Mark the ABI stability
   1292 	symbols as PRIVATE, add the new _utf8-suffixed ones.

   1294 2005-08-24  Stepan Kasal  <kasal (a] ucw.cz>
   1295 
   1296 	* glib/gtypes.h (G_MININT64): Cast the constant to gint64; it is
   1297 	guint64 otherwise and that can produce warnings about comparison
   1298 	between signed and unsigned.
