This fixes a stack overflow reported by a user who had both the
definition of text/javascript from shared-mime-info 2.3 and the
definition of text/javascript from shared-mime-info 2.4 installed at the
same time. In 2.3, text/javascript is a subtype of
application/ecmascript, but in 2.4 application/ecmascript is a subtype
of text/javascript. Having both at the same time resulted in circular
inheritance.
The new logic keeps a list of all parents that have already been
checked, which is more comprehensive than the old workaround that was
implemented in commit 38869ece2 ("xdgmime: Prevent infinite loops from
badly-formed MIME registrations").

There is currently no `dllimport` attribute on any of our function,
which prevents MSVC to optimize function calls.
To fix that issue, we need to redeclare all our visibility macros for
each of our libraries, because when compiling e.g. GIO code, we need
dllimport in GLIB headers and dllexport in GIO headers. That means they
cannot use the same GLIB_AVAILABLE_* macro.
Since that's a lot of boilerplate to copy/paste after each version bump,
this MR generate all those macros using a python script.
Also simplify the meson side by using `gnu_symbol_visibility : 'hidden'`
keyword argument instead of passing the cflag manually.
This leaves only API index to add manually into glib-docs.xml when
bumping GLib version. That file cannot be generated because Meson does
not allow passing a buit file to gnome.gtkdoc()'s main_xml kwarg
unfortunately.
This re-applies a chunk from commit e63262d49d which was
accidentally lost when upstreaming the commit to xdgmime (as
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xdg/xdgmime/-/merge_requests/10).
The upstreamed commit was then re-backported to GLib as a1bfe899ab,
without the missing chunk.
The missing chunk is potentially causing incorrect content type results
for `file://` URIs when used from webkitgtk.
Thanks to Stephen Jung and Michael Catanzaro for investigating.

Fixes: #2639
The function pointer casts silence the compiler and allow the code to
build (and even run in the typical case). However, when building with
control flow integrity checks, the runtime (rightfully) complains about
calling a function via a mismatched function pointer type.
In order to make xdgmime properly relocatable so that unit tests can use
it without it reading and modifying the user’s actual xdgmime files, and
without the need to call setenv() (and get tied up with thread safety
problems), add a xdg_mime_set_dirs() method to allow the dirs to be
overridden. They will still default to the values of $XDG_DATA_HOME and
$XDG_DATA_DIRS.

Allocate an empty cache object, check cache objects for being empty
before using them.
Otherwise the code will re-read cache every 5 seconds, as NULL cache
does not trigger the code that stores mtime, which makes the cache
file appear modified/unloaded permanently.

Since returning exactly one match has special significance, don't
give up matching before we've found at least 2 types. Also, make
sure that we don't return the same mime type more than once.
Bug 541236.
Some editors automatically remove trailing blank lines, or
automatically add a trailing newline to avoid having a trailing
non-blank line that is not terminated by a newline. To avoid unrelated
whitespace changes when users of such editors contribute to GLib,
let's pre-emptively normalize all files.
Unlike more intrusive whitespace normalization like removing trailing
whitespace from each line, this seems unlikely to cause significant
issues with cherry-picking changes to stable branches.

So long, and thanks for everything. We’re a Meson-only shop now.
glib-2-58 will remain the last stable GLib release series which is
buildable using autotools.
We continue to install autoconf macros for autotools-using projects
which depend on GLib; they are stable API.

Don't use it project-wide for building everything. Otherwise
symbols for shared modules won't be exposed, e.g. in the
resourceplugin used by the gio resource unit test.
Disable gio tests on Windows, fix .gitignore to not ignore
config.h.meson, and add more things to it.
Rename the library file naming and versioning to match what Autotools
outputs, e.g., libglib-2.0.so.0.5000.2 on Linux, libglib-2.0-0.dll and
glib-2.0-0.dll on Windows with MSVC.
Several more tiny fixes, more executables built and installed, install
pkg-config and m4 files, fix building of gobject tests.
Changes to gdbus-codegen to support out-of-tree builds without
environment variables set (which you can't in Meson). We now add the
build directory to the Python module search path.
Currently, all mime types are considered subclasses of
application/octet-stream, but according to the freedesktop
standard, everything but the inode/* types is a subclass of
application/octet-stream.
Update the special case for application/octet-stream so that all
types but inode/* will match with it and add unit test for it.

This commit factors out a function for comparing string suffixes, and at
the same time makes it safe for mime types that are shorter than the
"/*" suffix.

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.
We have various sub directories in glib/ and gio/ (eg: inotify, gnulib,
pcre, xdgmime, etc.) that build convenience libraries that are then
included into libglib and libgio. The files in these directories need
to be built with the same visibility policy as the files in the first
level directories, so add CFLAGS for them all.
This wasn't a problem when the visibility flags were set directly in
CFLAGS but then we had to deal with some modules that we built that we
explicitly wanted to export symbols from.
For now, we can keep things the way they are because it's less hacky and
although it's a theoretical hazard to forget these CFLAGS, we rarely add
new subdirectories to the build.
Since returning exactly one match has special significance, don't
give up matching before we've found at least 2 types. Also, make
sure that we don't return the same mime type more than once.
