Sun Feb 27 20:59:45 2000  George Lebl <jirka@5z.com>

        * src/parse.y,doc/gob.1.in: For stringlink, just return a pointer on
          get rather then strduping as that is 1) consistent with objectlink
          and 2) more flexible.

Sun Feb 27 20:38:19 2000  George Lebl <jirka@5z.com>

        * src/{main.c,tree.[ch],parse.y}: add the arbitrary destruction handler
          for data members

          to 0.93.0

Sun Feb 27 18:37:57 2000  George Lebl <jirka@5z.com>

        * NEWS,doc/gob.1.in,examples/{README,my-person.gob,my-person2.gob}:

          automatic initialization for any data member.

        * src/main.[ch],src/out.c: add --no-lines which inhibits printing
          of #line things to output files

Sun Feb 13 23:54:53 2000  George Lebl <jirka@5z.com>

        * doc/gob.1.in: add doc patch from Dave Dunkin <dunkind@letu.edu>

        * doc/gob.1.in,examples/*.gob: use init(self) to be more consistent
          in naming

Sat Feb 12 14:42:15 2000  George Lebl <jirka@5z.com>

        * src/main.c,src/lexer.l: apply patches from Dave Dunkin
          <dunkind@letu.edu> to add all and alltop ccode sections
          and to add a --no-write,-n option to not actually write
          any files.  Also did some very cosmetic changes to code

Mon Feb 07 23:45:04 2000  George Lebl <jirka@5z.com>

        * src/main.c: use the magic /*< private >*/ and /*< public >*/
          comments to distinguish public and protected data members

Mon Feb 07 03:02:48 2000  George Lebl <jirka@5z.com>

        * Release 0.92.3

Mon Feb 07 02:50:11 2000  George Lebl <jirka@5z.com>

        * src/lexer.l: error on multiple classes

        * src/main.c: nicer header output

        * src/{lexer.l,main.c}: Eat out gtk-doc like inline doc entries
          and stuff them into the output files where appropriate

        * doc/gob.1.in: added docs for gtk-doc like inline doc stuff

        * examples/{README, gtk-button-count.gob}: added inline docs

Fri Feb 04 01:07:54 2000  George Lebl <jirka@5z.com>

        * src/main.c: use G_GNUC_UNUSED rather then our own macro for a
          very slightly cleaner looking output file

2000-01-31  Eskil Heyn Olsen  <deity@eskil.dk>

        * gob.m4: checks for gob binary, GOB_CHECK([version [,
        action_if_found[, action_if_not_found]]]).  

        * Makefile.am: Install gob in $prefix/share/aclocal

Thu Jan 27 17:50:11 2000  George Lebl <jirka@5z.com>

Mon Jan 24 22:23:47 2000  George Lebl <jirka@5z.com>

        * src/main.c: add a protecting define before the object typedef

        * doc/gob.1.in: add docs for the new stuff

Sun Jan 23 16:19:54 2000  George Lebl <jirka@5z.com>

        * src/{lexer.l,parse.y,tree.[ch],main.c}: make more types of header
          %{ %} blocks, "headertop" and "privateheader" and made short as
          well as long names possible.

        * src/main.c: add an --no-extern-c option to not put entern "C" into
          the output, which is now put in by default even if --for-cpp is
          on so that it is possible to call those from C by default

Thu Jan 20 01:50:45 2000  George Lebl <jirka@5z.com>

        * src/main.c: put the _real_ functions in our normal private
          namespace of ___* to be more consistent.

Mon Jan 10 00:16:43 2000  George Lebl <jirka@5z.com>

        * src/{main.[ch],util.[ch],checks.[ch]}: offload some functionality to
          extra files

        * src/main.c: cleanup the generation routine by spliting it up into
          more functions
          
        * src/{main.h,lexer.l,parse.y,out.c}: put some needed externs into the
          main.h file and include that rather then doing it in the .c files

Thu Jan 06 18:33:44 2000  George Lebl <jirka@5z.com>

        * src/main.c: use ___ for the signal marshalling typedefs as well

Thu Jan 06 17:32:46 2000  George Lebl <jirka@5z.com>

        * Release 0.92.1

Thu Jan 06 17:13:22 2000  George Lebl <jirka@5z.com>

        * src/main.c: be consistent with the use of "namespacing", we
          prefix ALL internal gob stuff with "___".  This should make it
          easier to avoid name conflicts with user code and glibc/gcc (Which
          seems to use __ prefix)

        * src/main.c: check for init and class_init names for non-constructor
          methods and give an error if found.

        * src/main.c: check argument types and flags for correctness, error
          on unknown type, but just a warning on unknown flag

        * doc/gob.1.in: add a section for name conflicts

Wed Jan 05 02:23:21 2000  George Lebl <jirka@5z.com>

        * src/main.c: doh! the symbols for the aliases need to be declared as
          static.

Wed Jan 05 02:13:59 2000  George Lebl <jirka@5z.com>

        * src/main.c: just realized that args... for macros is a GNU
          extention and so the PARENT_HANDLER no longer uses it, but prints
          the argument names with __ prefixed into the argument list.

Wed Jan 05 01:58:32 2000  George Lebl <jirka@5z.com>

        * src/main.c: if using gnu c, also define macros using varargs for
          function aliases.  This should allow the compiler to optimize
          further and if we have arguments for the defines there are
          no adverse side effects as there are for straight defines.

Wed Jan 05 01:48:12 2000  George Lebl <jirka@5z.com>

        * src/main.c: fixup the aliases.  They didn't actually work right.
          now we set it up as a const pointer to a function using typeof.

Tue Jan 04 17:57:55 2000  George Lebl <jirka@5z.com>

        * src/lexer.l: add support for 'requires x.y.z' line.  This is
          so that a .gob file can require at least version x.y.z of gob

        * src/test.gob: update

        * doc/gob.1.in: update for requires and run trhough ispell

Tue Jan 04 17:10:54 2000  George Lebl <jirka@5z.com>

        * src/main.c: fix the non-gnu aliases

Tue Jan 04 16:46:16 2000  George Lebl <jirka@5z.com>

        * src/{main.c,parser.y,tree.[ch]}: add optional C type specification
          to arguments for full type safety 

        * doc/gob.1.in: updated

Tue Jan 04 15:34:16 2000  George Lebl <jirka@5z.com>

        * src/main.c: --no-gnu option to completely disable any use
          of GNU C extentions.  This is for those weird people that don't
          wish to use those extentions even with GNU C.

Tue Jan 04 14:43:49 2000  George Lebl <jirka@5z.com>

        * src/main.c: use some GNU extentions (guarded with #ifdef __GNUC__)
          to make arguments fully typesafe, and to make it easier for
          GNU to optimize the aliases, as well as to avoid the ugly
          hack on GNU C.

        * src/main.c: don't put #line 0 for the .gob file for method prototypes

        * src/main.c: move the _priv structure freeing into finalize to enable
          people to work with the private stuff inside the destroy handler

        * src/main.c: use #line before every precondition check so that failed
          checks should point to the function prototype rather then into
          generated file.

        * src/main.c: remove the _END_ARG macro

        * src/main.c: add GOB_VERSION_MAJOR, GOB_VERSION_MINOR and
          GOB_VERSION_PATCHLEVEL defines into the generated C file

        * src/out.c: don't redundantly put #line for outfile if we're already
          in the outfile

        * configure.in: raise version number

Tue Jan 04 02:22:33 2000  George Lebl <jirka@5z.com>

        * src/main.c: add argument wrapper macros to make the argument system
          a little more type safe.

Fri Dec 31 17:39:22 1999  George Lebl <jirka@5z.com>

        * Release 0.92.0

Thu Dec 30 20:20:36 1999  George Lebl <jirka@5z.com>

        * src/main.c: correctly handle the complex fundemental types,
          so that we can handle ALL the fundemental types for signals

Thu Dec 30 19:29:56 1999  George Lebl <jirka@5z.com>

        * src/main.c: don't use function types for casts in marshallers,
          but default types we get from our GTK_TYPE_* -> C type translation,
          and use this fact to check for same function types and combine
          signal prototypes.  This doesn't yet handle well complex types,
          but I have an idea how to make complex types work.  Though
          I dunno if it's actually worth it.

Thu Dec 30 17:18:27 1999  George Lebl <jirka@5z.com>

        * src/main.c: figure out some types from GTK types and cast properly
          when emitting a signal.  This catches some inconsistencies in
          signal func argument lists and the GTK types of the arguments.

Wed Dec 29 18:04:13 1999  George Lebl <jirka@5z.com>

        * src/parse.y: allow scope, public/private/protected, to come before
          the signal or virtual keyword for consistency's sake.

Wed Dec 29 01:39:30 1999  George Lebl <jirka@5z.com>

        * src/{tree.[ch],parser.y}: cleanup scope stuff

        * src/{lexer.l,parser.y,tree.h,main.c}: add protected keyword and
          methods.  protected methods are put into the -private files and
          are real exported functions just like public.  protected data
          members act like pre-0.91.x private datamembers, that is they
          get stuck into the public header, but marked /* protected */.

        * src/main.c: change the method body printing function so that we
          can catch the no return warning properly and send us to the .gob
          file instead of the .c file.

        * src/{parse.y,main.c}: handle empty publics/privates/overrides
          and handle the body being set to ';' rather then '{}'

        * src/main.c: check for empty nonvoid regular methods, and error out
          on finding them as that would produce warnings which we can't catch
          and it is generally bad to do anyway

        * src/{parse.y,tree.[ch],main.c}: use char pointers for C buffers,
          and kill leading/trailing whitespace from them to make the C files
          nicer and easier to recognize empty functions.

        * src/main.c: add a --version switch

        * doc/gob.1.in: Update with the above changes

        * configure.in: raise version

Tue Dec 28 20:49:56 1999  George Lebl <jirka@5z.com>

        * src/main.c: apply patch from ChiDeok Hwang <cdhwang@sr.hei.co.kr>
          to make the hack function static so that we don't pollute namespace

Mon Dec 27 19:56:24 1999  George Lebl <jirka@5z.com>

        * Release 0.91.2

Mon Dec 27 03:00:25 1999  George Lebl <jirka@5z.com>

        * src/main.c: fixup PARENT_HANDLER to work well with non-void
          functions, the macro becomes an expression if the function is
          not void and returns the return of the parent or the onerror
          expression if the function pointer was NULL.

Mon Dec 27 02:25:32 1999  George Lebl <jirka@5z.com>

        * src/parse.y: allow completely empty classes

        * src/main.c: don't add the ugly hack function if there are no
          methods

Mon Dec 27 01:26:26 1999  George Lebl <jirka@5z.com>

        * src/parse.y: fixup the virtual rule as I forgot to shift the
          argument numbers when adding to the expression

Mon Dec 27 01:07:14 1999  George Lebl <jirka@5z.com>

        * src/parse.y: add optional public keyword to virtuals and signals,
          (which doesn't do anything, only consistency). I should perhaps
          rewrite and simplify this part of the parser

        * src/lexer.l: fix a bug with empty braces producing a segfault
          on public and private methods

        * doc/gob.1.in: add a section about Constructor methods (init
          class_init) and fix init_class -> class_init

        * configure.in: raise version to 0.91.2

Tue Dec 14 00:06:00 1999  George Lebl <jirka@5z.com>

        * Release 0.91.1

Mon Dec 13 23:25:06 1999  George Lebl <jirka@5z.com>

        * src/{main.c,out.c}: create a private header file and stick
          the private structure definition inside it.  Add option
          --no-private-header for 0.91.0 behaviour and
          --always-private-header to force private header creation

        * doc/gob.1.in: update WRT above changes

        * examples/my-person.gob: include the private header

        * NEWS: update

Mon Dec 13 18:30:09 1999  George Lebl <jirka@5z.com>

        * src/main.c: don't print spurious #line's into the private
          structure

        * src/{main.c,tree.[ch],lexer.l,parse.y}: implement support for 
          array types for data members and function arguments

Mon Dec 13 00:48:47 1999  George Lebl <jirka@5z.com>

        * Release 0.91.0

Sun Dec 12 22:55:12 1999  George Lebl <jirka@5z.com>

        * doc/gob.1.in: added paragraph noting that private data members
          cannot be accessed above the class definition in the .gob file

Sun Dec 12 22:08:31 1999  George Lebl <jirka@5z.com>

        * src/main.c: implement real private data members as promised in
          the documentation, this however breaks some compatiblity with
          things that already used the 'private' keyword for data members

        * doc/gob.1.in: document private data member stuff

        * NEWS: update

        * src/main.c: a couple of sanity checks of the code to prevent weird
          errors on some broken .gob code

        * configure.in: update version to 0.91.0

Sun Dec 05 14:20:26 1999  George Lebl <jirka@5z.com>

        * src/{lexer.l,main.c}: if we find the class header #include
          statement in a %{ %} section above class definition, don't
          include it ourselves.

        * doc/gob.1.in: remove the note about the include always first from
          BUGS, and make a new section for the include file.

Thu Nov 25 13:09:08 1999  George Lebl <jirka@5z.com>

        * Release 0.90.5

Thu Nov 25 13:00:52 1999  George Lebl <jirka@5z.com>

        * src/main.c: don't error out on a symbol conflict if the types of
          the symbol node don't match (variable,method)

Sat Nov 20 16:15:42 1999  George Lebl <jirka@5z.com>

        * src/main.c: add PARENT_HANDLER macro to make calling parent
          handlers in override functions easier

Fri Nov 19 16:41:09 1999  George Lebl <jirka@5z.com>

        * src/main.c: add a type macro

Thu Nov 18 22:56:09 1999  George Lebl <jirka@5z.com>

        * src/parse.y: add a warning check if the number of GTK types of
          a signal doesn't seem to be correct for the given number of
          function arguments

Tue Nov 16 01:23:45 1999  George Lebl <jirka@5z.com>

        * src/main.c: support a "no-touch-headers" mode in which the
          headers are not touched unless they actually really changed,
          not on by default as it confuses automake

Tue Nov 16 00:36:42 1999  George Lebl <jirka@5z.com>

        * src/{main.c,lexer.l,parser.y,out.c}: Implement a C++ mode, get
          rid of C++ errors/warnings when in C++ mode, and get rid of
          the 'this' pointer finally (it's been deprecated long enough)

Mon Nov 15 23:45:37 1999  George Lebl <jirka@5z.com>

        * src/main.c: add prototype for the really bad hack function to
          avoid warning

Mon Nov 15 23:42:06 1999  George Lebl <jirka@5z.com>

        * src/main.c: generate correct function pointers in the structure
          for signals and virtuals.  Also use a much nicer system instead
          of the method name defines, we now just set a bunch of static
          pointers, this removes a whole lot of headaches actually

        * doc/gob.1.in: repair to reflect the above (I removed the define
          BUGS paragraph)

Sun Nov 14 17:57:34 1999  George Lebl <jirka@5z.com>

        * doc/gob.1.in: repair some things that confused troff and add
          a C preprocessor warning to BUGS

Sat Nov 13 17:22:49 1999  George Lebl <jirka@5z.com>

        * **/Makefile.am, configure.in: fix the conditional installation
          stuff, don't even go into the doc directory if we aren't installing

Sat Nov 13 16:53:20 1999  George Lebl <jirka@5z.com>

        * doc/gob.1.in: describe BUGS better

Sat Nov 13 16:20:41 1999  George Lebl <jirka@5z.com>

        * src/lexer.l: don't kill C++ style comments from C blocks

Sat Nov 13 16:16:59 1999  George Lebl <jirka@5z.com>

        * src/{lexer.l,main.c,out.c}: fixed spurious newline printing, don't
          kill comments from C blocks so that line counts are right, accept
          newlines in strings, and don't take \'\"\' as a string delimiter

Sat Nov 13 14:53:26 1999  George Lebl <jirka@5z.com>

        * src/main.c: don't add gtk_object_class to class_init if we only
          have non-GtkObject overrides to avoid warning

Sat Nov 13 14:31:25 1999  George Lebl <jirka@5z.com>

        * configure.in,src/Makefile.am,doc/Makefile.am: check for
          ../NOINST_GOB and in case it's found don't install self

Fri Nov 12 16:25:35 1999  George Lebl <jirka@5z.com>

        * configure.in,Makefile.am,src/main.c: don't use popt, our arguments
          are simple enough and popt doesn't seem to be widely used yet
