If we have an input parameter (or return value) we need to use (nullable).
However, if it is an (inout) or (out) parameter, (optional) is sufficient.
It looks like (nullable) could be used for everything according to the
Annotation documentation, but (optional) is more specific.
Add various (nullable) and (optional) annotations which were missing
from a variety of functions. Also port a couple of existing (allow-none)
annotations in the same files to use (nullable) and (optional) as
appropriate instead.
Secondly, add various (not nullable) annotations as needed by the new
default in gobject-introspection of marking gpointers as (nullable). See
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=729660.
This includes adding some stub documentation comments for the
assertion macro error functions, which weren’t previously documented.
The new comments are purely to allow for annotations, and hence are
marked as (skip) to prevent the symbols appearing in the GIR file.

This is a binding-friendly version of g_dbus_connection_register_object.

There are two consistent interpretations that could be taken for memory
handling of the 'invocation' parameter passed to the method_call() virtual
function of GDBusInterfaceVTable
- A reference is passed (transfer full) to the method_call() virtual function,
and that reference is then passed (transfer full) to the return_value/error
functions on GDBusMethodInvocation.
- An internal reference is retained from the point where method_call() is called
until the return_value/error function is called.
Since the return_value/error functions were already marked (transfer full),
we use the first interpretation, annotate the invocation parameter of
method call as (transfer full) and describe this in the documentation, along
with the idea that you are always supposed to call one of the return_value/error
functions.
See bug 738122 for the leak this caused in GJS.

The existing advice in the documentation to "simply" register the
"org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties" interface if you want to handle
properties asynchronously is pretty unreasonable. If you want to handle
this interface you have to deal with all properties for all interfaces
on the path, and you have to do all of the checking for yourself. You
also have to provide your own introspection data.
Introduce a new convention for dealing with properties asynchronously.
If the user provides NULL for their get_property() or set_property()
functions in the vtable and has properties registered then the
properties are sent to the method_call() handler. We get lucky here
that this function takes an "interface_name" parameter that we can set
to "org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties".
We also do the user the favour of setting the GDBusPropertyInfo on the
GDBusMethodInvocation for their convenience (for much the same reasons
as they might want the already-available GDBusMethodInfo).
Add a testcase as well as a bunch of documentation about this new
feature.

Add the GLIB_AVAILABLE_IN_ALL annotation to all old functions (that
haven't already been annotated with the GLIB_AVAILABLE_IN_* macros or a
deprecation macro).
If we discover in the future that we cannot use only one macro on
Windows, it will be an easy sed patch to fix that.

I didn't do this comprehensively, since there's a lot of it, mainly
due to the GDBus object manager stuff, but anyone trying to use
that would fail fast due to lack of the gdbus code generator.
My main goal was to get API additions to existing classes like
g_data_input_stream_read_line_utf8(), as well as the lower level new
API like glib-unix.h.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=676816
Also add convenience _with_unix_fd_list variants to GDBusConnection,
GDBusProxy and GDBusMethodInvocation types to easily support this.

Ryan pointed out that it's safe to do this because we have the
G_DBUS_SEND_MESSAGE_FLAGS_PRESERVE_SERIAL flag and that it simplifies
how filter functions work.

Turns out we are leaking non-floating GVariant instances returned by
get_property() functions.
Also avoid imprecise language such as "newly-allocated GVariant" as
this doesn't specify whether the variant can be floating or not.
Also see https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=627974 as it is
very related to this change.

Allow modifying a GDBusMessage in a filter function and also add tests
for this. This breaks API but leaves ABI (almost) intact - at least
dconf's GSettings backend (the only big user I know of) will keep
working.

This is currently unused but might be useful in the future. For
example, it might be nice with a way to bypass the current queue of
outgoing messages - having a flag enumeration allows us to add a
G_DBUS_SEND_MESSAGE_FLAGS_BYPASS_QUEUE etc. etc.
This commit breaks ABI and API. Users of the (rarely used) API to send
messages will have to port to this new API.

This is currently unused but will probably be useful in the
future. For example, we could have a _ARG0_IS_PATH to specify that
arg0 should be used for arg0path.
This commit breaks API and ABI. Users of

Clarify a couple of things in the docs:
1) you must return flat names (no slashes)
2) g_strfreev() will be called on the result
3) a benefit of using the DISPATCH_TO_UNENUMERATED flag
Return a NULL terminated C array instead of a GPtrArray
Also, document that %NULL is a permitted return value and clarify its
meaning.
Finally, avoid calling the enumeration function during dispatch when the
G_DBUS_SUBTREE_FLAGS_DISPATCH_TO_UNENUMERATED_NODES flag was given.
... so it is async, cancelable and returns an error. Also provide a
synchronous version.
This is an API/ABI break but it is expected that only very few
applications use this API.

E.g. move these C structures out of public header files and into their
respective C files. Also nuke padding since this is no longer needed.
This leaves only GDBusProxy as an extendable type.

Without this guarantee, peer-to-peer connections are not very
useful. However, with this guarantee it's possible to export objects
in a handler for the GDBusServer::new-connection signal.
There are two caveats with this patch
- it won't work on message bus connections
- we don't queue up messages to be written
that can be addresses later if needed.

Add lots of padding for public class structures. Notably, we seemed to
lack any padding whatsoever in the GDBusMessageClass struct (spotted
by Dan Winship). Also switch to using
gpointer padding[N];
instead of
void (*_g_reserved1) (void);
...
void (*_g_reservedN) (void);

This adds a GApplication object to GIO, which is the core of
an application support class, supporting
- uniqueness
- exporting actions (simple scripting)
- standard actions (quit, activate)
The implementation for Linux uses D-Bus, takes a name on the
session bus, and exports a org.gtk.Application interface.
Implementations for Win32 and OS X are still missing.
This allows the caller to specify the reply type that they are expecting
for this call. If the reply comes back with the wrong type, GDBus will
generate an appropriate error internally.
- add a GVariantType * argument to g_dbus_connection_call() and
_call_sync().
- move the internal API for computing message types from introspection
data to be based on GVariantType instead of strings. Update users
of this code.
- have GDBusProxy pass this calculated GVariantType into
g_dbus_connection_call(). Remove the checks done in GDBusProxy.
- Update other users of the code (test cases, gdbus-tool, GSettings
tool, etc). In some cases, remove redundant checks; in some other
cases, we are fixing bugs because no checking was done where it
should have been.
Closes bug #619391.
This is to match g_dbus_connection_new(). This extension allows us to
extend GDBusAuthObserver to also be used in client-side authentication
in the future (right now it's only used on the server-side).
Lots of people been suggesting this. We still use MethodInvocation /
method_invocation for handling incoming method calls so use call()
instead of invoke_method() helps to separate the client and server
facilities. Which is a good thing(tm).
Things compile and the test-suite passes. Still need to hook up
gio.symbols and docs. There are still a bunch of TODOs left in the
sources that needs to be addressed.
