GSubprocess: New class for spawning child processes There are a number of nice things this class brings: 0) Has a race-free termination API on all platforms (on UNIX, calls to kill() and waitpid() are coordinated as not to cause problems). 1) Operates in terms of G{Input,Output}Stream, not file descriptors 2) Standard GIO-style async API for wait() with cancellation 3) Makes some simple cases easy, like synchronously spawning a process with an argument list 4) Makes hard cases possible, like asynchronously running a process with stdout/stderr merged, output directly to a file path Much rewriting and code review from Ryan Lortie <desrt@desrt.ca> https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=672102

gsubprocess: Fix up communicate We weren't closing the streams after we were done reading or writing, which is kind of essential. The easy way to fix this is to just use g_output_stream_splice() to a GMemoryOutputStream rather than hand-rolling it. This results in a substantial reduction of code complexity. A second serious issue is that we were marking the task as complete when the process exits, but that's racy - there could still be data to read from stdout. Fix this by just refcounting outstanding operations. This code, not surprisingly, looks a lot like the "multi" test. Next, because processes output binary data, I'd be forced to annotate the char*/length pairs as (array) (element-type uint8). But rather than doing that, it's *far* simpler to just use GBytes. We need a version of this that actually validates as UTF-8, that will be in the next patch.

gsubprocess: Add UTF-8 variants of communicate() Over many years of writing code interacting with subprocesses, a pattern that comes up a lot is to run a child and get its output as UTF-8, to put inside a JSON document or render in a GtkTextBuffer, etc. It's very important to validate at the boundaries, and not say deep inside Pango. We could do this a bit more efficiently if done in a streaming fashion, but realistically this should be OK for now.

GSubprocess: New class for spawning child processes There are a number of nice things this class brings: 0) Has a race-free termination API on all platforms (on UNIX, calls to kill() and waitpid() are coordinated as not to cause problems). 1) Operates in terms of G{Input,Output}Stream, not file descriptors 2) Standard GIO-style async API for wait() with cancellation 3) Makes some simple cases easy, like synchronously spawning a process with an argument list 4) Makes hard cases possible, like asynchronously running a process with stdout/stderr merged, output directly to a file path Much rewriting and code review from Ryan Lortie <desrt@desrt.ca> https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=672102
