This is a variant of g_file_get_path() which returns a const string to
the caller, rather than transferring ownership.
I've been carrying `gs_file_get_path_cached()` in libgsystem and it
has seen a lot of use in the ostree and flatpak codebases. There are
probably others too.
I think language bindings like Python/Gjs could also use this to avoid
an extra malloc (i.e. we could transparently replace
`g_file_get_path()` with `g_file_peek_path()`.

2.56, change the function name and drop the locking.)

On slow ARM machines doing parallel builds, there's no guarantee that
we'll get through this in 5 seconds.

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.
This stops it from interfering with structured stdout such as TAP.

This is *significantly* more pleasant to use from C (while handling
errors and memory cleanup).
While we're here, change some ugly, leaky code in
tests/desktop-app-info.c to use it, in addition to a test case
in tests/file.c.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=661554
Make the testcase compare the byte size to what is reported
by du. Also add a test for the async api, and mak eit test
the progress reporting callback.
Perform a substantial cleanup of the build system with respect to
building and installing testcases.
First, Makefile.decl has been renamed glib.mk and substantially
expanded. We intend to add more stuff here in the future, like canned
rules for mkenums, marshallers, resources, etc.
By default, tests are no longer compiled as part of 'make'. They will
be built when 'make check' is run. The old behaviour can be obtained
with --enable-always-build-tests.
--disable-modular-tests is gone (because tests are no longer built by
default). There is no longer any way to cause 'make check' to be a
no-op, but that's not very useful anyway.
A new glibtests.m4 file is introduced. Along with glib.mk, this
provides for consistent handling of --enable-installed-tests and
--enable-always-build-tests (mentioned above).
Port our various test-installing Makefiles to the new framework.
This patch substantially improves the situation in the toplevel tests/
directory. Things are now somewhat under control there. There were
some tests being built that weren't even being run and we run those now.
The long-running GObject performance tests in this directory have been
removed from 'make check' because they take too long.
As an experiment, 'make check' now runs the testcases on win32 builds,
by default. We can't run them under gtester (since it uses a pipe to
communicate with the subprocess) so just toss them in TESTS. Most of
them are passing on win32.
Things are not quite done here, but this patch is already a substantial
improvement. More to come.
Since this feature is so utterly automake-centric, we may as well be
using the same terminology as automake itself (ie: although it's
BUILT_SOURCES, it's DIST_EXTRA, not DISTED).
Also add some comments to the enum explaining that these terms are
really corresponding directly to the automake terms.

We need to close the stream *before* applying the file modes, because
g_file_replace() allocates a temporary file. At the moment we're
applying the modes to the extant file, then immediately rename()ing
over it with the default perms.
This regressed with commit 166766a89f.
The real fix here is to have g_file_create_with_info() so that we can
atomically create a file with the permissions we want.

Very many testcases, some GLib tools (resource compiler, etc) and
GApplication were calling g_type_init().
Remove those uses, as they are no longer required.

test_create_delete() assumes that if it creates a file and then
immediately deletes it, that the file monitor will notice this and
record it as a create followed by a delete. But that won't work with
GPollFileMonitor, which will just think nothing changed. So skip the
test in that case.

This looks like it was stubbed out but not implemented; the vtable
entry dates to commit 3781343738 which
is just alex's initial merge of gio into glib.
I was working on some code that wants an asynchronous rm -rf
equivalent, and so yeah, this is desirable.

g_file_read() was returning G_IO_ERROR_IS_DIRECTORY when you tried to
open a directory on unix, but G_IO_ERROR_PERMISSION_DENIED on win32.
Fix that, and add a test to tests/file.c
