Re: Glib question: Is PCRE in some intermediate state?

Hi John,

The gatomic.c file contains a native Windows implementation of the 
atomic ops.  There were some pretty significant changes in GLib in terms 
of the implementation of threading and atomic operations throughout the 
last 2-3 stable release cycles.

Can you check the glibconfig.h that you are using?  As you are using 
Visual C++, it needs to match the contents in glibconfig.h.win32 in 
glib\.  If not, copy glib\glibconfig.h.win32 and overwrite 
glib\glibconfig.h.  Note that the currently correct place where 
glibconfig.h is to be found should now be in glib\, not srcroot (this 
changed from 2.24 probably-so it is possible that the Visual C++ 2005 
project files did not reflect on that).

With blessings.

Fortunately I wasn't but along the way, I noticed that pthread_mutex_lock() and pthread_mutex_unlock() are getting called in numerous places from the module glib/gatomic.c.  That wasn't the case when I first built glib (circa version 2.24). So it looks like this dependency has crept in unintentionally somewhere.
