Otherwise it’s possible for it to hang around in the `GMainContext`
after the “send message” operation has finished. In the best case, this
will cause the `GTask` and `GDBusMessage` to not be freed when the
calling code expects. In the worst case, it could cause use-after-free
problems if it derefs allocations which have since been freed.
I have not seen either of these problems in practice, but it would be
best for the code to eliminate the risk of them altogether by explicitly
destroying the source when the operation is finished.

This doesn’t introduce any functional changes, but should make the code
a little clearer.

This introduces no functional changes, but makes it a little clearer how
the ownership of these `GDBusMessage` instances works. The free function
is changed to `g_clear_object()` to avoid the possibility of somehow
using the messages after freeing them.
Basically just some drive-by docs improvements while trying to debug
issue #1264.

This didn’t actually cause any observable bugs, since the structures of
`PropertyData` and `PropertyGetAllData` were equivalent for the members
which the free function touches.
Definitely should be fixed though.

This appears to fix an intermittent failure seen when sending a D-Bus
message with either of a cancellable or a timeout set.
In particular, I can reliably reproduce it with:
```
meson test gdbus-test-codegen-min-required-2-64 --repeat 10000
```
It can be caught easily with asan when reproduced. Tracking down the
location of the refcount mismatch was a little tricky, but was
simplified by replacing a load of `g_object_ref (message)` calls with
`g_dbus_message_copy (message, NULL)` to switch `GDBusMessage` handling
to using copy semantics. This allowed asan to home in on where the
refcount mismatch was happening.
The problem was that `send_message_data_deliver_error()` takes ownership
of the `GTask` passed to it, but the
`send_message_with_replace_cancelled_idle_cb()` and
`send_message_with_reply_timeout_cb()` functions which were calling it,
were not passing in a strong reference as they should have.
Another approach to fixing this would have been to change the transfer
semantics of `send_message_data_deliver_error()` so it was `(transfer
none)` on its `GTask`. That would probably have resulted in cleaner
code, but would have been a lot harder to verify/review the fix, and
easier to inadvertently introduce new bugs.
The fact that the bug was only triggered by the cancellation and timeout
callbacks explains why it was intermittent: these code paths are
typically never hit, but the timeout path may sometimes be hit on a very
slow test run.

Fixes: #1264
,,,for G_ALWAYS_INLINE and G_NO_INLINE, since the msvc::forceinline and
msvc::noinline attributes require C++-20 support, not just C++-11
support. This will avoid warning C5051 (unsupported attribute ...,
ignored) if pre-C++-20 was used.
The recent optimizations to gstring.h used G_ALWAYS_INLINE (meaning
'__forceinline' on Visual Studio) together with 'static inline', which
will cause warning C4141 indicating that 'inline' was used more than
once on the function.
Avoid this by temporarily disabling warning C4141 in gstring.h when
building the code that uses 'G_ALWAYS_INLINE'.
Fixes issue #2905.
mkstemp-like family of functions also use g_open () under the hood so
they should pass the O_CLOEXEC flag there for race-free setting of the
close-on-exec flag.
setmntent () call uses the same mode flag set as fopen (), so it should
also include the "e" mode flag for race-free setting of the close-on-exec
flag.
All Unix CRTs examined: glibc, musl, BSDs, Apple libc, Android bionic
ignore unknown fopen () mode flags, so this flag can be added
unconditionally for Unix builds.
Only Windows CRT is intolerant of these, so the single case in
g_dbus_address_connect () where the fopen () call is shared between Unix
and Windows needs appropriate platform-specific handling.
Skipped the call sites in libcharset and xdgmime copylibs.
We don't want to update this function in case some crusty old third party
code might be relying on its current behavior.
Also, it is deprecated anyway and no code should be using it.
Use SetThreadUILocale() to set the UI locale to English (United States)
(en-US), and use SetConsoleOutputCP() to set the code page to en-US (codepage
437) so that g_win32_error_message() will always return the error messages in
English and ensure that the program runs in English as well, so that we
can ensure that the expected error message string can match up
regardless of the languge version of Windows that is running.
The code has warned about this since commit 6d9f874330 in 2011.
glibc 2.37 has just started asserting if a `NULL` format is passed to
`sprintf()`, which caused the existing GLib workaround to start
asserting too.
Bite the bullet and upgrade the warning for `format != NULL` to a
critical warning. Projects have had 12 years to fix their code.
The original bug reports
(https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=660371,
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=560482) are actually both
about a domain which is `0`, rather than a format which is `NULL`, which
gives some confidence that this change will actually impact very little
third party code.
Since it doesn’t currently need changing, I have not touched the warning
about `domain != 0`.

Fixes: #2913
The `equal_func` closure can already have all required information
available without the item, and passing the item via the closure instead
of an explicit parameter is more natural for languages that have a
concept of closures that can capture variables.
This is a departure from our policy of using the minimum required Meson
version, but I think it might be worth a try to see if it fixes the
persistent intermittent build failures on these platforms due to what
looks like build dependency graph issues.
For example:
- https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/glib/-/jobs/2579411
- https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/glib/-/jobs/2578792
- https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/glib/-/jobs/2579220
- https://gitlab.gnome.org/pwithnall/glib/-/jobs/2588507
I was looking at trying to diagnose some of these failures in order to
potentially file bugs against Meson, but the first step is really to
test against the latest version of Meson. So here we are.
Crucially, our other CI jobs continue to use the minimum Meson version
required by GLib, so we continue to test that GLib builds with its
minimum dependencies. I do not plan to change that.
Also crucially, this MR continues to use a specific Meson version,
rather than asking `pip` to install the latest available. Doing that
could lead to unexpected regressions in future, and that’s not what
GLib’s CI is meant to be testing for.
