Re: Request of API which are thread safe/unsafe
hi Naveen, On Mon, 2012-01-16 at 14:50 +0530, naveen yadav wrote: > I want to know which all API are multithread safe. As we have in Glibc. In general, GLib strives for all API to be threadsafe with respect to global state. We generally avoid functions returning pointers to static storage that gets freed on the next call, for example. I cannot think of any exceptions to this rule. Many API in GLib deal with particular objects (like hashtables). These API are safe to call in different threads at the same time on *different* objects, but access to the same object from multiple threads requires locks. There are a few exceptions to this rule. GAsyncQueue comes to mind (because it has its own locking built in). Additionally, it's typically safe to call g_object_ref() and g_object_unref() on the same object from multiple threads at the same time, as well as functions like like g_object_get/set_data(). We recently also added support for threadsafe weak references. GTK is another story. There is quite a lot of global state here and almost nothing is threadsafe. All interactions with GTK should be done from the main thread of the program. If you have worker threads, they should coordinate with the main thread in order to make calls into GTK (by using g_idle_add() for example -- the callback function is always run in the main thread). We have a feature called 'gdk threads' that can also be used to make calls to GTK from other threads, but this is not portable and its use is generally discouraged (and there is discussion about removing it from the next version of GTK). As an answer to the related question of which functions are safe to call from signal handlers, the answer is "effectively none".

glib-2.31.4.tar.xz
Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.2 to 2.31.4
==
* EXPERIMENTAL: Menu support has been added to GApplication. Menus
are exported on the bus, alongside the actions that are already there.
There have also been many related improvements to action group
functionality.
These new APIs are subject to changes in the coming releases. In
particular, it seems somewhat likely that the APIs for registering
menubars may change in order to accommodate windows with different
types of menubars.
* GDBusConnection previously directly dispatched destroy notifies when
unregistering objects if the current main context was the same context
the object was exported on. It now unconditionally dispatches these
through an idle on the context.
* Clean up Requires in pc files. Linking against GIO no
longer drags in gmodule. This may require dependency
fixes here and there.
* Introduce GBytes, a data type for immutable, fixed-size
byte sequences. This makes the pre-existing GBuffer
API available outside GLib
* GDBusInterfaceSkeleton can now be exported on multiple
connections
* Bugs fixed:

GLib 2.31.0
At long last, GLib 2.31.0 has been released. http://download.gnome.org/sources/glib/2.31/ 46fcaec884be7ce1b780feffb0da987b55e23850a870d94ed84356870532fe8c glib-2.31.0.tar.xz Most people reading this announcement know that there have been a huge number of changes in this release. There were some breaks involved in that, but I've been running it on my system (in /usr) for the past few days now without detecting any issues. Special thanks to Rico Tzschichholz who has been doing the same and found two rather serious issues by doing so (both of which have been fixed). On to the NEWS... (ps: the 500 commits are a lie[1]) Overview of changes from GLib 2.29/2.30 to 2.31.0 = This release contains a huge number of changes (500 commits worth). The list below attempts to summarise, but not every change is listed. * Major changes to threading and synchronisation - threading is now always enabled in GLib - support for custom thread implementations (including our own internal support for errorcheck mutexes) has been removed - a whole lot of dead code (to deal with the non-threaded case) has been ripped out. This includes the racy path of GMainContext that caused deadlocks with respect to child process exits in single-threaded programs (such as gtester). - libgthread is now an empty shell and g_thread_init() is no longer required (and has been deprecated) - GMutex and GCond can now be statically allocated without explicit initialisation. Dynamic allocation for these types is deprecated. - new types GRecMutex and GRWLock can also be statically allocated without explicit initialisation. - GPrivate can now be statically allocated and has an improved API. Dynamic allocation of GPrivate is deprecated. - GStaticMutex, GStaticRecMutex, GStaticRwLock, GStaticPrivate are deprecated. - GCond now uses monotonic time internally and a new API takes monotonic time for timed waits, deprecating the wallclock API - removal of the insane macro indirection used in the previous implementation of threading and synchronisation APIs - use SRWLock and CONDITION_VARIABLE APIs when available on Windows (Vista and later) and emulate them on XP - leaks of G(Static)Private-allocated data on some cases of thread exit have been fixed - simplified new thread creation API with the old API deprecated. The concept of joinability has disappeared (all threads are joinable) as have priority levels, 'bound'ness (ie: kernel vs. userspace threads) and ability to manipulate the stack size. - GThread is now a refcounted type - other implementation details changed * Move headers for some deprecated functionality to a separate deprecated/ directory. * New support for attribute-based deprecations to issue compiler warnings instead of breaking the build and/or giving warnings about implicit declarations (and possibly miscompiling). * GCache has been deprecated (after its last use was removed from our platform over a year ago). * It is no longer possible to include individual headers (like "ghash.h") -- you must #include . * The misguided experiment of allowing the program to stumble along with missing GSettings schemas is now over -- the abort is back. * Clarify that fork() is not valid while using GMainContext. This is because the internal resources of the GMainContext end up being shared by both processes. We had an assert here but it was breaking existing (valid) use cases as well, so it has been removed for now. * GApplication - add ::shutdown signal as logical dual to ::startup - don't use a GMainLoop: iterate the GMainContext directly (improves quit logic) * Several portability fixes for Windows, OpenBSD, Solaris * Add new GValue API to specifically deal in signed chars (in case the platform defines 'char' as unsigned) * some new API to mitigate the problems associated with calling setenv() in a multi-threaded program * Use CLOCK_MONOTONIC unconditionally if the libc has support at compile time (ie: stop checking for kernel support at runtime). * pkg-config files: - drop -uninstalled variants - remove gobject dependency on gthread * New macro G_ATOMIC_LOCK_FREE is defined if the atomic operations are implemented without use of a mutex. Cleaned up atomic-related compilation issues with mingw compilers on win32 systems. * SOCKS proxy and resolver improvements * Fix the spelling of G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITABLE (was WRITEABLE) and introduce a macro for backwards compatibility. * GDBus: - many code generation updates and improvements - some race condition fixes, including testcase hangs * GVariant: - new g_variant_new_from_fixed_array() API - substantial docs improvements/clarifications * GKeyFile is now refcounted and boxed * mount monitoring is now based on /proc/mounts (where available) instead of mtab * new macros G_SOURCE_CONTINUE and G_SOURCE_REMOVE for returning fr

In addition to hundreds of bug fixes and enhancements made this cycle, the following major features were added: - GDBus has been improved by the addition of a high-level object manager and code generation facilities that make use of it. See http://davidz25.blogspot.com/2011/09/new-d-bus-features-in-glib-230.html for more information. - GLib has added an extensible TLS database where certificates and keys can be found and used, laying the foundation for integration with smart cards and other key stores. GLib now also supports HMAC hashes (which are used when implementing web technologies like OAuth). - The atomic operations have been expanded to include bit operations (and, or, xor) and so that all operations are supported on pointer-sized operands. The implementation has been made more correct and performant by way of GCC intrinsics and better use of the Interlocked API on Windows. Bitlocks now work on pointer-sized operands. - New API has been added to allow UNIX signals to be dispatched via the mainloop. Additionally, there is a new UNIX-specific API to allow race-free creation of close-on-exec pipes with a fallback on platforms where this is not possible. - GMainContext and GCancellable now use eventfd when available, instead of less efficient pipe pairs. - GApplication now supports non-single-instance applications. We had one small API break to an interface that wasn't used except from inside GLib itself: the name of the 'set_state' virtual function call on the interface of GAction changed to 'change_state' in order to avoid conflicts with the 'set_state' method on GSimpleAction. To avoid compatibility problems, those who will implement GAction going forward are suggested to assume that this feature appeared for the first time in this release of GLib. This release of GLib has had a fantastic amount of work put in by translators. Despite being one of the most difficult modules to translate, we have 100% coverage of 32 languages, including: Assamese, Basque, Brazilian Portuguese, British English, Bulgarian, Canadian English, Catalan (Valencian), Catalan, Chinese (China), Czech, Danish, French, Galician, German, Hungarian, Indonesian, Italian, Korean, Latvian, Lithuanian, Norwegian Bokmål, Polish, Portuguese, Punjabi, Russian, Serbian, Serbian Latin, Slovenian, Spanish and Swedish. Special mention goes to the translations of Tamil and Esperanto which were both at approximately 50% last cycle and made it to 100% this cycle. 12 other languages (Chinese (Hong Kong), Chinese (Taiwan), Belarusian, Hebrew, Uighur, Finnish, Greek, Romanian, Vietnamese, Armenian, Japanese, Gujarati) are above the 80% level. Finally, Chun-wei Fan has invested a substantial effort to ensure that it is once again possible to build GLib using Visual Studio on Windows.

Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.90 to 2.29.92 This release contains only bugfixes, docs changes and translations updates. Translation will continue, but otherwise this should be considered a release candidate for 2.30.0. * GDBus bug fixes - fix segfault when remote property is invalidated (#659070) - take more care in connection teardown to avoid use-after-free (#651268) * GMappedFile: return an error when trying to map a device (#659212) * GSettings: always deliver signals to the correct thread (#657255) * some small documentation changes * Translation updates: Belarusian Brazilian Portuguese British English French Hindi Hungarian Italian Japanese Latvian Norwegian bokmål Persian Polish Punjabi Russian Simplified Chinese Spanish Swedish Tamil Thank you to the contributors to this release: A S Alam Alexandre Franke Antonio Fernandes C.

GLib 2.29.90 is ready. http://download.gnome.org/sources/glib/2.29/ 95af3f46a40ad1a3ecfe75db59b27956b256c4ad02f000be2aa13c7abd32fba3 glib-2.29.90.tar.xz I consider this to be (almost) a release candidate. There is probably a bug in GSettings that is causing lots of problems with gnome-settings-daemon that will need to be fixed before the next cycle. Other than that, we're more or less frozen -- it should mostly be docs and translations in the next release. There are two API breaks in this release with respect to the previous. One is a rename and the other is simple removal of a function that was only added in the last micro release. See below. Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.18 to 2.29.90 * API/ABI changes: - unix signal watches now match the API of all of the other sources - revert the addition of g_date_time_source_new () from last release * networking and other fixes for Solaris - we no longer support symbolic port names (ie: from /etc/services) - check if -lsocket is needed - fix g_socket_details_from_fd() - avoid getmntinfo - fix some harmless warnings * GDateTime improvements: - generally improved standards compliance (with C99) - support C99-specified format strings: %g, %G, %V, %c, %C, %w - consult the locale for the preferred 12-hour time format (%r) - drop support for non-standard %N and broken %W - better support for formatting non-POSIX (eg: Arabic) numerals - locale-related test case fixups, and fix some leaks * GTlsInteraction: add interaction method invocation guarantees * gdbus-codegen: post-process all interfaces when parsing >1 file * make GMainLoop, GMainContext and GSource boxed types * fix a race condition in the first use of g_get_monotonic_time() * lots gtk-doc cleanups * better intltool compatibility when generating pot file * avoid GCC-specific compiler options when not using GCC * Translation updates: Belarusian Brazilian Portuguese Canadian English Galician Indonesian Korean Lithuanian Norwegian bokmål Portuguese Spanish Swedish Thanks to everyone who helped: Alexandre Franke Andika Triwidada Aurimas Černius Changwoo Ryu Chun-wei Fan Dan Winship Daniel Nylander Duarte Loreto Fran Dieguez Ihar Hrachyshka Javier Jardón Jorge González Kjartan Maraas Matthias Clasen Og B.

GLib 2.25.17 released
Hi all A somewhat serious bug was discovered in GLib 2.25.16 as it was released yesterday -- a complete failure to build against the system-installed pcre (see bug #629971). Because of the late date in the cycle leading up to GNOME 2.32, the inconvenience to our users and distributors is great enough to warrant the effort required to roll a new release. So here's GLib 2.25.17 :) http://download.gnome.org/sources/glib/2.25/ ba2543fa9dceb7dbcfbf00dcc3773cd649ef1698d7f7ad401f136e980559777d glib-2.25.17.tar.bz2 a932cceba58bf1c2d5d3c699fef3ad49823b27cc98381a1eafdcf8145a91761b glib-2.25.17.tar.gz Other than the bugfix mentioned above, the Portuguese translation was also updated.

There is also a workaround for the long-standing race condition in gtester that sometimes causes 'make check' to hang. Some other small fixes and translation updates are included.

glib 2.25.13 released
Hello. Due to a rather serious packaging bug in glib 2.25.12, I'm making a quick 2.25.13 release. You should not use glib 2.25.12. I've made some changes to address that problem and hopefully prevent similar problems from happening again. I looked over the package and it seems to be fine, but please be on the lookout for any possible issues that I introduced with the new changes. Download and SHA256: http://download.gnome.org/sources/glib/2.25/ 785297b1528cba6f2d20358ba7386be49bad0e7d50aa4b965d80a44eba14a5e0 glib-2.25.13.tar.bz2 21001d2365f286f61710936d0e06fab7eef8d0aba57ffe37a5f8a41342e23c59 glib-2.25.13.tar.gz There should be no API/ABI break time time around (at least compared to last time). We still expect to break GApplication API soon -- but that has been pushed to 2.25.14 most likely (which should come some time next week or the one after). Here's the news: Overview of Changes from GLib 2.25.12 to GLib 2.25.13 = +---+ | WARNING: There have been no breaks in API or ABI. Weird, eh? | +---+ The primary purpose of this release is to fix a serious problem with glib 2.25.12: glibconfig.h (as generated on a Fedora amd64 system) was being distributed in the tarball. It was being used to build some parts of glib on other systems (eg: 32bit ones). This was causing some very serious problems. There have been many other improvements, however: Build and testing: - vastly improved test coverage - old tests moved to the gtester framework - gtester Makefile modified so that the tests only run once - cleanup of how we handle includes while building glib GVariant: - add a g_return_if_fail (utf8) to g_variant_new_string() GDBus: - perform extra sanity checks when serialising messages - add API to query and set the byteorder of a GDBusMessage - improve debug output, add some extra options - if exiting due to the bus disconnecting us, print an error message explaining why - sort property names correctly - don't bother sending RemoveMatch when we will close the connection anyway - use effective uid/gid for credential passing GSettings: - add G_SETTINGS_BIND_INVERT_BOOLEAN for inverting boolean bindings without mapping functions - mark all strings in the schema compiler for translation Binding: - improve closure support for bindings - copy GSettings INVERT_BOOLEAN flag Other: - fix another complicated GCancellable deadlock possibility Bugs closed: 599590 glib build doesn't look for correct pkg-config 619026 avoid warning in gutils.h when using gcc with -Wconversion 624739 Please fix POTFILES.in 625472 Valgrind claims uninitialized bytes used 625500 g_date_set_time_val documentation doesn't mention local time 625628 GDBusProxy: wrong property name sorting 625753 Incorrect flags used in g_dbus_connection_call_sync() 625827 Expand documentation about error quark naming 625988 builddir != srcdir issues 626107 glibconfig.h is being disted Updated translations: French Galician Hebrew Norwegian bokmål Spanish The contributors to this release: Dan Winship David Zeuthen Emmanuele Bassi Fridrich Štrba Hannes Müller Mark Wielaard Matthias Clasen Milan Crha Philip Withnall Stef Walter ...and at the very last minute, Benjamin Otte.

release of GLib 2.25.11
ncluded into the docs
- added support for schemas that extend other schemas (using the
'extends=' attribute). Values of keys in the base schema can be
overridden using .
- added theoretical support for lists (using the 'list-of=' attribute)
- lots of new tests
- add support for flags (implemented similarly to enums)
- add support for generating .enums.xml files to gsettings.m4:
gsettings_ENUM_NAMESPACE = org.example.myapp
gsettings_ENUM_FILES = ../path/to/*.h
will generate org.example.myapp.enums.xml with mappings for all
enums and flags in the specified .h files.
- warn with g_message() if the 'memory' backend is used by default
(ie: because no other GSettings backends are installed)
- fix get_property() for GSettings::schema
- command line tool: fix a bug that prevented non-basic values from
being set due to a premature free
- command line tool: bash completion support
- chain up in _finalize

post-processing
- retry with the translated or schema default value if the
GSettingsBindGetMapping function fails
- schema compiler: never fail due to empty schema directories (but
warn)
- peek rather than ref/unref the GEnumClass in the mapping function
- schema compiler: compile *.enums.xml before *.gschemas.xml to ensure
that we have all the enums that the schemas may reference
- schema compiler: improve accuracy of line numbers in error reports
- fix crashes in the keyfile backend caused by invalid group names in
the keyfile
Other:
- always intern GBinding prop names
- base64: remove asserts preventing conversion of empty strings
- document NULL special-cases for GValueArray
- GNode docs improvements
