[glib.git] / ChangeLog.pre-2-18

2008-09-17  Matthias Clasen  <mclasen@redhat.com>

        * configure.in: Bump version 

        * === Released 2.18.1 ===

        * NEWS: Updates

2008-09-16  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@novell.com>

        * glib/gtimer.c (g_time_val_to_iso8601): time_t is 64 bits in all
        the newer Microsoft C libraries, not just 64-bit ones. So to avoid
        crash if compiled with newer MSVSes, use a separate time_t
        variable in all cases on Windows.

        * glib/gbacktrace.h: Define G_BREAKPOINT() also for 64-bit MSVC,
        using the __debugbreak() intrinsic.

2008-09-15  Behdad Esfahbod  <behdad@gnome.org>

        * configure.in: Fix description of module shared library suffix.

2008-09-15  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@novell.com>

        * config.h.win32.in: Update to match what the configure script
        produces. Just for uniformity, only commented out parts affected.

2008-09-13  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@novell.com>

        * glib/gutils.h
        * glib/gwin32.h: Deprecate G_WIN32_DLLMAIN_FOR_DLL_NAME(),
        g_win32_get_package_installation_directory() and
        g_win32_get_package_installation_subdirectory() as their
        documentation has warned for a while. Sorry that I forgot to do
        this before 2.18.0.

        * glib/gwin32.c (g_win32_get_package_installation_directory):
        Print a warning if a non-NULL package parameter is passed to this
        function, as that is deprecated usage, as the documentation says.

2008-09-11  Matthias Clasen  <mclasen@redhat.com>

        Bug 548321 – <string.h> is not included in gi18n-lib.h

        * glib/gi18n.h:
        * glib/gi18n-lib.h: Include string.h, since strlen is used in 
        the macros. Pointed out by Ignacio Casal Quinteiro

2008-09-10  Matthias Clasen  <mclasen@redhat.com>

        Bug 551731 – g_date_set_time[_t] docs should mention what timezone

        * glib/gdate.c (g_date_set_time, g_date_set_time_t): Documentation
        improvements proposed by Owen Taylor.

2008-09-10  Matthias Clasen  <mclasen@redhat.com>

        Bug 551410 – gtestutils.c: using printf without prototype

        * glib/gtestutils.c: Include stdio.h. Pointed out by Kazuki Iwamoto.

2008-09-09  Matthias Clasen  <mclasen@redhat.com>

        Bug 551228 – G_STRFUNC on recent Sun compiler should be expanded to
        __func__ rather than '???'

        * glib/gmacros.h: Don't use glibconfig.h defines in gmacros.h,
        as the comment up top says. Instead look at __STDC_VERSION__.
        Problem reported by Lin Ma.

2008-09-09  Matthias Clasen  <mclasen@redhat.com>

        Bug 523463 – Core dump in gmain.c:2482:IA__g_main_context_check()

        * glib/gmain.c (g_main_context_check): Be robust against setting
        event fields on the fly, as e.g. happens in linc. Tracked down
        by Paul Smith, fix proposed by Owen Taylor.

2008-09-08  Christian Dywan  <christian@imendio.com>

        Bug 550433 – g_test_init doesn't recognize --help

        * glib/gtestutils.c (parse_args): Add detailed --help output

2008-09-02  Matthias Clasen  <mclasen@redhat.com>

        * configure.in: Bump version

        * === Released 2.18.0 ===

2008-09-02  Ryan Lortie  <desrt@desrt.ca>

        Bug 549771 – improved .gitignore for glib

        * po/.gitignore:
        * tests/.gitignore: new files
        * .gitignore: remove 'build' (since it's part of glib now), add more
        useful things.

2008-09-02  Matthias Clasen  <mclasen@redhat.com>

        * NEWS: Updates

        * configure.in: Bump version to 2.18.0

2008-09-02  Matthias Clasen  <mclasen@redhat.com>

        Bug 550104 – trivial documentation fix for g_get_home_dir

        * glib/gutils.c (g_get_home_dir): Fix up the docs.

2008-09-02  Michael Natterer  <mitch@imendio.com>

        * glib/gchecksum.c (g_checksum_reset): add
        g_return_if_fail (checksum != NULL)

2008-09-01  Paolo Borelli  <pborelli@katamail.com>

        Bug 550040 - Move GString, rand and printf tests to the unit test
        framework

        * tests/printf-test.c:
        * tests/rand-test.c:
        * tests/string-test.c:
        Removed

        * glib/tests/printf.c:
        * glib/tests/rand.c:
        * glib/tests/string.c:
        Added

        * tests/Makefile.am:
        * glib/tests/Makefile.am:
        Updated for the above

2008-08-31  Emmanuele Bassi  <ebassi@gnome.org>

        Bug 550096 – GBookmarkFile parser is not forward compatible

        * glib/gbookmarkfile.c:
        (parse_bookmark_element), (parse_application_element),
        (parse_mime_type_element), (parse_icon_element): Relax the
        attributes checking of the GBookmarkFile parser for the
        attributes that the desktop bookmark file specification
        defines and controls. This allows adding new attributes to
        the existing elements in newer versions without breaking the
        parser in older ones.

2008-08-28  Ryan Lortie  <desrt@desrt.ca>

        Fixup for test case in previous commit.

        * glib/tests/strfuncs.c: don't fail if we can't open the test data.
        This happens if $(builddir) != $(srcdir) (like when doing 'make
        distcheck').  Quick workaround for now until #549783 can be fixed.

2008-08-28  Ryan Lortie  <desrt@desrt.ca>

        Bug 548612 – g_strstr_len() should use memmem when available

        * glib/gstrfuncs.c (g_strstr_len): fix off-by-one memory access error
        * glib/tests/strfuncs.c (test_bounds): add some new test cases that
        would catch problems like this
        * glib/tests/4096-random-bytes: test data for the previous
        * glib/tests/Makefile.am: add previous to EXTRA_DIST
        
2008-08-28  Ryan Lortie  <desrt@desrt.ca>

        [REVERT] Bug 548612 – g_strstr_len() should use memmem when available

        * configure.in:
        * glib/gstrfuncs.c (g_strstr_len): revert use of memmem (see bug)

2008-08-28  Matthias Clasen  <mclsaen@redhat.com>

        * configure.in: Change libselinux detection to not link libglib
        against it.

2008-08-28  Michael Natterer  <mitch@imendio.com>

        * glib/gstrfuncs.c (g_parse_long_long): make "endptr" const since
        it's always a pointer into the const string passed. Remove some
        casting to (gchar*) in this function.

        (g_ascii_strtoull)
        (g_ascii_strtoll): cast "endptr" to (const gchar**) here when
        passing it to above function.

2008-08-28  Bastien Nocera  <hadess@hadess.net>

        Bug 548612 – g_strstr_len() should use memmem when available

        * glib/tests/strfuncs.c (test_strstr):
        * tests/string-test.c (main): Patch by Paolo Borelli
        <pborelli@katamail.com> to move the tests to the right place,
        and add more tests

        * glib/gstrfuncs.c (g_strstr_len): Fix problem with memmem ignoring
        nul-terminators in strings, and using the haystack_len instead

2008-08-28  Bastien Nocera  <hadess@hadess.net>

        Bug 548612 – g_strstr_len() should use memmem when available

        * configure.in: detect whether memmem is available in the C library
        * glib/gstrfuncs.c (g_strstr_len): use memmem for g_strstr_len() if
        available in it's available, as it could be optimised by the C library
        * tests/string-test.c (main): Add a few tests for g_strstr_len()

2008-08-27  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@novell.com>

        * glib/giowin32.c: Stylistic changes. Plug an unlikely memory leak
        that occurred in create_thread() if closing the thread handle
        failed. Add more error messages to g_io_win32_free() that are
        printed only when debugging. Plug handle leak, a socket channel's
        event was never closed.

2008-08-27  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@novell.com>

        * config.h.win32.in: Should not define HAVE_DIRENT_H when
        compiling with MSVC, as the only file which checks HAVE_DIRENT_H
        is gdir.c, and that includes the dirent.h and wdirent.c from
        build/win32/dirent explicitly anyway when being compiled with
        MSVC.

2008-08-22  Björn Lindqvist  <bjourne@gmail.com>

        Bug 523939 – Example program for GValue

        * gobject/gvalue.c: Add code example that demonstrates GValue's
        features.

2008-08-21  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@novell.com>

        * glib/giowin32.c: Minor comment improvements. Improve run-time
        warning messages. Drop some #if 0 code. Don't bother compiling the
        binary compatibility g_io_channel_win32_new_stream_socket()
        function that has not been mentioned in any header since 2.0 on
        Win64.

        * glib/glib.symbols: Mark it, too, private, and don't export it on
        Win64.

2008-08-21  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@novell.com>

        * glib/gmain.c: Rework the g_poll() implementation on Windows to
        match poll() semantics more closely. This makes the test program
        in bug #468910 behave better and doesn't seem to break anything
        else.

        If polling several GPollFDs, i.e. messages and/or waitable
        handles, first check if one or several of them are in the
        signalled state right away, with timeout zero. Return indication
        for all that are in that case. To check if several handles are
        signalled, we have to call the WaitForMultipleObjectsEx() function
        repeatedly, each time removing the handle it indicated was
        signalled last time, until WAIT_TIMEOUT is returned.

        If not, then poll with timeout and indicate only the single one
        that the Win32 wait function tells us as before.

        Remove unnecessary ifdefs, as we always have G_MAIN_POLL_DEBUG
        defined on Windows.

        Initialise g_main_poll_debug in g_main_context_new() so we have it
        before testing it in one case.

        Don't put several copies of a handle in the array of handles to
        wait for. The documentation says this is not allowed, although it
        did seem to work fine in practise. But do as the documentation
        says anyway.

2008-08-20  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@novell.com>

        Bug 500246 - Bug fixes for giowin32

        * glib/giowin32.c (read_thread) (write_thread): Change the nbytes
        variables to signed.
        (g_io_channel_win32_make_pollfd): Fix an obvious error in the file
        descriptor case leftover after the patch from bug #333098 on
        2006-03-02. Thanks to Marcus Brinkmann.

2008-08-20  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@novell.com>

        Bug 324234 - Using g_io_add_watch_full() to wait for connect() to
        return on a non-blocking socket returns prematurely

        Bug 548278 - Async GETs connections are always terminated
        unexpectedly on Windows

        * glib/giowin32.c: Add one more state variable to the
        GIOWin32Channel struct, ever_writable. Initialise it to FALSE, set
        to TRUE when the WSAEventSelect() indicates FD_WRITE, and never
        reset to FALSE.

        Don't do the WSASetEvent() in g_io_win32_prepare() unless
        ever_writable is TRUE. Don't automatically indicate G_IO_OUT in
        g_io_win32_check() unless ever_writable is TRUE.

        This fixes the behaviour of the test case program in bug #548278,
        and the "Testcase for the spurious OUT event bug" in bug
        #324234. It also doesn't seem to break anything. Not that there is
        any exhaustive test suite...

        Add a comment with a list of bugs that are related to the code in
        this file.

        can also detect failing source file and line, fixes:
        Bug 502498 – Test framework assertion failures should follow gcc error format

2008-08-14  Matthias Clasen  <mclasen@redhat.com>

        Bug 547832 – gtk+-2.12.11 fails to build - AC_PROG_MMAP too strict,
        and unnecessary

        * configure.in: Be a little bit more forgiving when checking
        for mmap. Patch by Peter O'Gorman

2008-08-13  Matthias Clasen  <mclasen@redhat.com>

        Bug 547637 – unconditional #include of sys/statfs.h in configure
        impedes detection of statfs things if non-existant

        * configure.in: Protect the statfs.h include by guards.

2008-08-12  Federico Mena Quintero  <federico@novell.com>

        * glib/gi18n-lib.h: In the #error about having to define
        GETTEXT_PACKAGE, add a hint about a possibly-missing config.h.

2008-08-10  Behdad Esfahbod  <behdad@gnome.org>

        * glib/gutf8.c: Fix docs to use "nul-terminated" consistently.

2008-08-08  Ryan Lortie  <desrt@desrt.ca>

        Fix 'fail' markup test cases to -not- be valid XML 1.1.

        * tests/markups/fail-32.gmarkup: change &#x10; to &#x0; since the
        former is no longer a failure.

2008-08-08  Ryan Lortie  <desrt@desrt.ca>

        Bug 546876 - Modify GMarkup parser to accept &#x1; .. &#x1f;

        * glib/gmarkup.c: previously the parser only accepted character
        references for \t \n and \r (as per XML 1.0); now it accepts all
        of &#x1; .. &#x1f;.

2008-08-07  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@novell.com>

        * configure.in: Output comment clarifying GPid semantics to
        glibconfig.h.

        * glibconfig.h.win32.in: Ditto here.

2008-08-04  Matthias Clasen  <mclasen@redhat.com>

        Bug 546329 – API docs for g_utf8_normalize() are incorrect

        * glib/gunidecomp.c: Remove inaccurate information about
        g_utf8_collate() from g_utf8_normalize() docs.
        Pointed out by Sven Neumann.

2008-08-04  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@novell.com>

        * glibconfig.h.win32.in: Make the union _GSystemThread::data array
        8 bytes on Win64. Not that it matters as the union contains a
        pointer also anyway, but for equivalence with the configure-
        generated glibconfig.h

2008-08-04  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@novell.com>

        * glib/gmain.c (g_get_current_time): MSDN says: "Do not cast a
        pointer to a FILETIME structure to either a LARGE_INTEGER* or
        __int64* value because it can cause alignment faults on 64-bit
        Windows." So don't do that then. Indeed the code did work randomly
        on Win64 when compiled with optimisation.

2008-08-04  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@novell.com>

        * glib/giowin32.c
        * glib/gmain.c
        * glib/gspawn-win32.c
        * glib/gspawn-win32-helper.c: Change gssize casts introduced on
        2008-07-28 to gintptr casts now that we have that. gssize is as
        such the same as gintptr on both 32- and 64-bit Windows, but the
        gintptr name indicates that it is used to hold pointers, i.e. also
        HANDLEs.

        * tests/testglib.c: Avoid warning on Win64 by using gintptr cast
        instead if long cast.

        versions of GPOINTER_TO_INT(), GPOINTER_TO_UINT() and vice versa,

        Bug 545485 - Implicit declaration of utime()

        * glib/gstdio.c: Include <utime.h> on POSIX.

2008-07-28  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@novell.com>

        * configure.in: Output to glibconfig.h typedefs for gintptr as the
        signed integer type that can hold a pointer, and guintptr as the
        corresponding unsigned type. These types are portable equivalents
        to intptr_t and uintptr_t which are not available in all
        compilers.

        For all current platforms, they will presumably end up as the same
        types as gssize and gsize, but in theory size_t can be smaller
        than intptr_t. Also, the intended use case for gintptr and
        guintptr is different from that of gssize and gsize. As the name
        indicates, gintptr is for when one wants an integer type that can
        hold a pointer, and gsize is for when one wants an integer type
        that can hold the value of the sizeof operator.

        Bug 544465 – gmarkup makes it hard to use pre-rolled parsers

        * glib/glib.symbols:

        Patch by Ryan Lortie

2008-07-28  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@novell.com>

        * glib-zip.in: Message catalogs should always get installed into
        share/locale nowadays, don't bother with the convoluted logic
        checking if they are in lib/locale instead. Put the correct helper
        programs in the zipfile.

2008-07-28  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@novell.com>

        Fix problems on 64-bit Windows. Avoid warnings, some of which
        indicated actual problems, some which were just annoyances. 

        Where casts to an integer type are needed for pointers, use
        gssize. Technically intptr_t would be the more proper type, but we
        still want to be compilable with MSVS6 and 7 which don't have
        intptr_t. MSVS8 and 9 do have intptr_t, but in <crtdefs.h>, not
        <stdint.h>.

        Use %p to print out handles. Use gssize casts when assigning
        GPollFD::fd fields.

        Use G_GSIZE_FORMAT when printing size_t values.
        
        * configure.in: Define automake conditional G_OS_WIN32_X64 which
        is true on Win64.

        * glib/giochannel.h: Use slightly different prototype for
        g_io_channel_win32_new_messages() on Win64 with gsize instead of
        guint.

        * glib/giowin32.c
        * glib/gmain.c
        * glib/gspawn-win32.c
        * tests/testglib.c: Generic changes as described above.

        * glib/gmain.h: Don't bother mentioning GIMP in comment.

        * glib/grel.c (tuple_hash_2): Use all bits of pointer.

        * glib/gspawn-win32.c
        * glib/gspawn-win32-helper.c: Use gssize types in the
        communication between parent and helper process, so that we can
        pass process handles, which are pointers, also on Win64.

        * glib/gtimer.c (g_time_val_to_iso8601): time_t is 64 bits on
        Win64 so we can't pass the address of a GTimeVal::tv_sec which is
        a long directly to gmtime(). On the other hand, changing
        GTimeVal::tv_sec to be a gint64 on Win64 is not really feasible
        either, as that would then require changes in much code that uses
        GTimeVals.

        * glib/gspawn-win32.c
        * glib/Makefile.am: Call the helper programs
        gspawn-win64-helper.exe and gspawn-win64-helper-console.exe on
        Win64, to avoid potential risk of running a 32-bit version of the
        helper.

        * glib/gutils.c
        * glib/gwin32.c: Bypass the Windows "ABI compatibility" symbols on
        _WIN64. As there hasn't been any widely deployed 64-bit Windows
        builds of the really old GLib (pre-2.8.1) versions those refer to,
        there is no need to have the "ABI compatibility" versions in the
        DLL.

2008-07-27  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@novell.com>

2008-07-24  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@novell.com>

        * configure.in: Must output the GLIB_USING_SYSTEM_PRINTF to
        glibconfig.h using the same two phase code as for the other
        defines in it. Can't check enable_included_printf directly in the
        shell code that is the first argument to AC_CONFIG_COMMANDS().

        Preset glib_cv_stack_grows=no on Windows to help
        cross-compilation.

        * configure.in: Enhancements for 64-bit Windows: 

        Handle also size_t being larger than long. It is long long
        a.k.a. __int64 on the LLP64 Win64.

        Set glib_void_p and glib_long correctly. Their assignments were
        crossed. It hasn't mattered on LP64 platforms like all (?) 64-bit
        UNIXes, but on the LLP Win64 it was wrong.

        * glibconfig.h.win32.in: Check also _WIN64.

        (parse_application_element),
        (bookmark_app_info_dump): Support the "modified" attribute,
        which takes an ISO-formatted string instead of a Unix time
        stamp, to keep the number of g_strdup_printf() calls to a
        minimum.

        * glib/gtimer.c:
        (g_time_val_to_iso8601): Do not use strftime(): we know

2008-05-30  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@novell.com>

        * glib/gstdio.c (g_access) [Win32]: Mask out X_OK to avoid problem
        on Vista. X_OK was just ignored by access() in earlier Microsoft C
        libraries. (Which is fine as executability has little meaning on
        Windows.) The one on Vista returns an error if X_OK is passed.

2008-05-29  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@novell.com>

        * glib/gstdio.h
        * glib/gstdio.c: Add g_utime(). No need to include <sys/utime.h>
        in gstdio.h, just use a forward struct declaration.

        * glib/glib.symbols: Add it.

2008-05-29  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@novell.com>

        * glib/gnulib/printf-args.c (printf_fetchargs): wint_t is short on
        Windows, and gcc warns: "wint_t is promoted to int when passed
        through ... (so you should pass int not wint_t to va_arg)." And
        indeed g_print("%C", L'a') crashes. So do as gcc says then.

        without HAVE_DIRENT_H.

2008-05-19  Hans Breuer  <hans@breuer.org>

2008-05-17  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@novell.com>

        * glib/giowin32.c: Make debugging printout more compact and add
        more information to it. No changes to actual functionality.

        * glib/gmain.c: Improve debugging printouts. When
        G_MAIN_POLL_DEBUG is defined, we check for an environment variable
        of the same name to decide whether to print out debugging
        information or not. G_MAIN_POLL_DEBUG is always defined on Windows
        as there is more often a need to debug this stuff there. On Unix
        the definition has to be uncommented (or done on the compile
        command line).

2008-05-17  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@novell.com>

        * build: Don't include the "build" module with svn:externals any

        Bug 503071 - Application direction changes to right to left even if
        theres no translation. 

        * glib/gi18n.c: g_i18n_init() for initializing the glib i18n,
        checking if a translation is available for the calling app. wrappers for
        gettext, dgettext and dpgettext to check first if the application
        should be translated.

        * glib/gi18n.h: symbol declaration for gettext wrappers.

        * glib/gi18n-lib.h: include gi18n.h instead of libintl.h.

        * glib/gstrfuncs.c: moved g_dpgettext() to glib/gi18n.c.

        * glib/gutils.c: use g_dgettext() instead of dgettext().

        * glib/glibintl.h: include gi18n.h.

        G_DISABLE_SINGLE_INCLUDES is defined.

        * glib/gdatasetprivate.h: #include <glib.h> instead of
        <glib/gdataset.h>

2008-05-02 13:24:13  Tim Janik  <timj@imendio.com>

        Bug 528752 - Win32 build and SSL not working

        This bug report against libsoup points out an issue with the use
        of bitfields in the GIOChannel struct that should really be taken
        care of here in GLib.

        * configure.in: Add Autoconf variable GLIB_EXTRA_CFLAGS which will
        contain the -mms-bitfields flag on Windows.
        
        * glib-2.0.pc.in: Add it to Cflags.

2008-04-21  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@novell.com>

        * configure.in
        * */Makefile.am: More work on enabling static building on
        Windows. When building statically: Also define
        GOBJECT_STATIC_COMPILATION in glibconfig.h so that also the
        variables in gparamspecs.h get declared without any
        dllimport/dllexport decorations. Don't install .def files which
        obviously have no meaning for static libraries. Don't create MS
        import libraries. Don't do any resource object files.

2008-04-18 17:40:58  Tim Janik  <timj@imendio.com>

        Bug 526619 – make test-report crash

        * glib/gtester.c: Allocate enough space for argv. Patch by
         Hiroyuki Ikezoe

2008-04-04  Matthias Clasen  <mclasen@redhat.com>

        * glib/gmain.c: Make the fix for bug 448943 work.

2008-04-04  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@novell.com>

        * configure.in: Make sure we don't build both shared and static at
        the same time on Windows. Put a #define for
        GLIB_STATIC_COMPILATION into glibconfig.h in the static case, so
        that the use of variables from libglib gets the GLIB_VAR macro in
        gtypes.h automatically correct. This means that a shared and
        static build of GLib can't be installed in the same prefix on
        Windows, which sucks a bit. But with variables in the GLib API,
        there isn't much we can do otherwise. The alternative would be to
        force the developer who compiles against a statically built GLib
        to use -DGLIB_STATIC_COMPILATION.

        * glibconfig.h.win32.in: Define GLIB_STATIC_COMPILATION here also,
        if needed.

2008-04-03  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@novell.com>

        * configure.in: Don't enforce shared library build only on
        Windows. It might well make sense to build static libraries in
        some use cases.

        * glib/gutils.c: Don't compile the DllMain if building libglib
        statically. Also in that case don't return NULL from
        _glib_get_installation_directory(), but return the installation
        directory of the program's .exe file.

        Bug 524314 - g_convert() on Win32 implicitly converts full width
        alphanumerics into half width
        
        * glib/win_iconv.c: Update from Yukihiro Nakadaira. Use
        WC_NO_BEST_FIT_CHARS flag for WideCharToMultiByte() unless the
        //translit flag was suffixed to the codeset name.

        * glib/gconvert.c: Include win_iconv.c earlier so that its
        definition of WINVER before it includes <windows.h> is used.

        Bug 523877 – gbookmarkfile: avoid using g_string_append_printf() and
        other optimizations

        * glib/gbookmarkfile.c: (bookmark_metadata_dump),
        (bookmark_item_dump), (g_bookmark_file_dump), (expand_exec_line):
        Replace all calls to g_string_append_printf with g_strconcat () or
        g_string_append () where appropriate, to reduce the file creation time.
        Also, use g_string_sized_new () with an appropriate buffer size instead
        of g_string_new (NULL), to reduce time spent in memory reallocation.

        Bug 518160 - replace two g_strdup_printf calls in GBookmarkFile

        * glib/gbookmarkfile.c (is_element_full): Compare the fragments
        instead of building two strings; this avoids two g_strdup_printf()
        per namespaced element enountered. (#518160, Felix Riemann)

        Bug 523298 - win_iconv can't convert from UTF-8 to GB18030 (or vice versa)

        * glib/win_iconv.c: Fixes for code page 54936 (GB18030)
        (mbtowc_flags): New function. Check if a code page is one of those
        for which the dwFlags parameter to MultiByteToWideChar() must be
        zero. Return 0 or MB_ERR_INVALID_CHARS.
        (mbcs_mblen): New function for multi-byte (more than two bytes for
        some characters) code pages. Only handles 54936 for now.
        (make_csconv): Use it for 54936.
        (kernel_mbtowc): Use mbtowc_flags().

        Bug 522292 - Gives warnings in glib/gutils.h with GCC in C99 mode

        * glib/gutils.h: Use "__attribute__ ((__gnu_inline__))" for inlining
        if either __GNUC_STDC_INLINE__ or __GNUC_GNU_INLINE__ are defined. In
        gcc version prior to 4.3 no correct C99-inline was implemented which
        has semantic differences to GNU inline.

2008-03-16  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@novell.com>

        * configure.in: Don't bother defining Autoconf variables for
        glib.def, gmodule.def, gobject.def and gthread.def when this can
        be handled easily in */Makefile.am which are the only files that
        use them. Remove also TESTGMODULE_EXP which isn't used at all.

        * glib/Makefile.am: Corrsponding change.
        
2008-03-14  Michael Natterer  <mitch@imendio.com>

        * glib/*.h: make it possible to disable single-file includes by
        defining G_DISABLE_SINGLE_INCLUDES when building against GLib.
        Approved by Tim Janik.

        * glib/glib.h: include <glib/gslice.h>.

        * glib/gi18n.h
        * glib/gi18n-lib.h
        * glib/gprintf.h: include <glib.h> so the above works when these
        files are included without including <glib.h> first.

2008-03-14  Alexander Larsson  <alexl@redhat.com>

        * configure.in:
        Add required includes for f_fstypename member check.

2008-03-14  Alexander Larsson  <alexl@redhat.com>
