The previous documentation said this:
g_type_add_interface_static:
"Adds the static interface_type to instantiable_type"
g_type_add_interface_dynamic:
"Adds the dynamic interface_type to instantiable_type"
The above suggests that if one is adding a static interface to a dynamic
object, one should use g_type_add_interface_static because the interface
is static, but the code and usage (with the newly added
G_IMPLEMENTS_INTERFACE_DYNAMIC) imply that this is wrong, and that
what matters is whether the *instanciable_type* is dynamic or not.
Hence this patch moves the "static" and "dynamic" words close to
"instantiable_type".
Closes issue #259
The Python runtime is not amenable to Valgrind, and leak checking is a
lot less relevant in Python compared to C.

These macros wrap functions which were only introduced in certain
versions of GLib. The functions are correctly marked as introduced in
those versions, but the macros aren’t, which can result in not getting
appropriate deprecation warnings if you’re using those APIs when you
have said you’re targeting older GLib versions using
`GLIB_VERSION_MAX_ALLOWED`.

"Uninitialized value" is partially correct, since it has not been
initialized with a type, but it's more precise to say
"zero-initialized value". It is still a programming error to pass a
pointer to uninitialized memory with arbitrary contents as the value.

We're using the `install` argument for configure_file() all over the
place.
The support for an `install` argument for configure_file() was added in
Meson 0.50, but we haven't bumped the minimum version of Meson we
require, yet; which means we're getting compatibility warnings when
using recent versions of Meson, and undefined behaviour when using older
versions.
The configure_file() object defaults to `install: false`, unless an
install directory is used. This means that all instances of an `install`
argument with an explicit `true` or `false` value can be removed,
whereas all instances of `install` with a value determined from a
configuration option must be turned into an explicit conditional.
Connect the dots between G_ADD_PRIVATE and the various G_DEFINE_* macros
that use it, as well as expanding the code example for
G_DEFINE_TYPE_EXTENDED with a private instance data declaration.

The two test scripts actually assumed some *NIX paradigms, so we need
to adapt them so that they can work on Windows as well, the changes are
namely:
-Call the glib-mkenums and glib-genmarshal Python scripts with the
Python interpreter, not just relying on shebang lines, on Windows.
This is because the native Windows console (cmd.exe) does not support
shebang lines, for subprocess.run().
-Use NamedTemporaryFile with delete=False, otherwise Windows cannot find
the temp files we need when running the tests.
-Use universal_newlines=True for subprocess.run() so that we do not need
to worry out line ending differences on different systems.
-Make sure we are not in the temp directories we create, where the tests
are being run, upon cleanup. Windows does not like deleting
directories that we are currently in.
On Windows and possibly other platforms the '%p' printf modifier does
not prefix printed values with '0x', so do not expect the warning
message to contain the '0x' prefix for the handler pointer value.
When building a valist marshaller, we can avoid reffing a GParamSpec
if the argument is known to always be static. The marshaller we ship in
`gmarshal.c` got this right, but marshallers generated by
glib-genmarshal were missing the optimisation. Fix that, and add a unit
test.

Using the generic marshaller has drawbacks beyond performance. One such
drawback is that it breaks the stack unwinding from the Linux kernel due
to having unsufficient data to walk past ffi_call_unixt64. That means that
performance profiling by application developers looks grouped among
seemingly unrelated code paths.

If we specify a c_marshaller, g_signal_newv() will never assign an
va_marshaller automatically. So either use NULL (for simple cases), or
specify both to avoid the generic performance penalty.

This makes the Meson build code for it a little more generic, and adds

While this was useful for local testing while developing the test, it’s
not widely applicable. Look the binary up in the current `${PATH}` if
it’s not specified using `G_TEST_BUILDDIR`.
This is needed to get the `mkenums.py` test working as an
installed-test.

We already have the GType with which the GValue should be initialized,
so requiring an initialized GValue is not really necessary, and it
actually complicates code that wraps GObject, by requiring the retrieval
of the GParamSpec in order to get the property type. Additionally, it
introduces a mostly unnecessary g_value_reset().
We already changed g_object_getv() to allow passing uninitialized
GValues, but this fell through the cracks.
