In the deserialise function, GUnixFDMessage was comparing 'level' to
both SOL_SOCKET and SCM_RIGHTS. It is correct to compare 'type' to
SCM_RIGHTS. The code passed tests only because:
1) it's a "should always be OK" double-check
2) SOL_SOCKET and SCM_RIGHTS, by chance, both have the value '1' on
Linux systems.
Crash interception/debugging systems like Apport or ABRT capture core dumps for
later crash analysis. However, if a program exits with an assertion failure,
the core dump is not useful since the assertion message is only printed to
stderr.
glibc recently got a patch which stores the message of assert() into the
__abort_msg global variable.
(http://sourceware.org/git/?p=glibc.git;a=commitdiff;h=48dcd0ba)
That works fine for programs which actually use the standard C assert() macro.
This patch adds the same functionality for glib's assertion tests. If we are
building against a glibc which already has __abort_msg (2.11 and later, or
backported above git commit), use that, otherwise put it into our own field
__glib_assert_msg.
Usage:
$ cat test.c
#include <glib.h>
int main() {
g_assert(1 < 0);
return 0;
}
$ ./test
**ERROR:test.c:5:main: assertion failed: (1 < 0)
Aborted (Core dumped)
$ gdb --batch --ex 'print (char*) __abort_msg' ./test core
[...]
$1 = 0x93bf028 "ERROR:test.c:5:main: assertion failed: (1 < 0)"

We don't want to malloc each GIBaseInfo when they can be used in
function invocation; instead, allow stack allocation.
There were a lot of structure typedefs which were actually just
exactly the same as GIBaseInfo, with the one exception of GITypeInfo.
Instead, just put the single GITypeInfo boolean inside GIBaseInfo
as a bit in a bitfield.
GIBaseInfo is still opaque publicly; GIRealInfo is the new
internal structure.
Using this, add new functions to retrieve arguments and argument types
on the stack.

Rather than having bindings use g_function_info_invoke, which is basically
a toy/demo API, export a convenience utility function which takes the introspection
information and sets up things we need to pass to libffi.
Then invocation can be done directly to libffi by a binding.
As part of this work, remove some (unused by gjs) public functions from the
girffi API, and instead export a function to map to libffi which can work
semi-correctly.
