This reverts commit 8e362161d9.
There is a fundamental difference between g_value_peek_pointer() and
g_value_get_pointer(), and it's not just complexity: the latter checks
if the GValue holds a pointer type, whereas the former doesn't.

Previously, GLib returned text/plain for empty files.
This is important because people may want to open empty (eg:
just-created) text files with the text editor.
An unintended side-effect of b6fc1df022
caused GLib to start returning application/octet-stream instead of
text/plain for these files.
This commit is essentially a revert of that commit, with a different
solution: we move the special-case up a bit in the function and
hard-code it to text/plain.
This change does not exactly maintain the old behaviour: previously, a
"fast" lookup would have returned application/octet-stream on an empty
file and now it will return text/plain. I consider this to be an
improvement (since we're returning better data) and don't expect it to
cause problems.

Copy the flatten-first logic from g_variant_get(), and for the same
reason: if the user is requesting a direct pointer access to a
tree-based child inside of argument to this function then that child
could disappear later.
Forcing serialisation means that the pointer will remain valid as long
as the passed-in instance exists, which is the usual expectation with
GVariant API.

g_value_unset() only works with initialized value and will assert
if the GValue is zero-filled (or initialized with G_VALUE_INIT). Document
this behaviour and refer to g_value_clear() for a method that work on
both initialized and zero-filled GValue.

This change allow leaving a scope before g_value_init() has been
called. This would happen if you do:
{
g_auto(GValue) value = G_VALUE_INIT;
}
Or have a return statement (due to failure) before the part of
your code where you set this GValue.

Despite knowing about GError, there are multiple cases where developers
have still used traditional numeric error codes, and then got themselves
into a mess about bindability and generation of error messages.
Try and avoid this by including a brief paragraph on the benefits of
GError over EINVAL-style error codes.

This means that the top of the documentation can link forward to this
important section, and random people on the internet can link directly
to it on developer.gnome.org.

The API design here is a bit awkward — the in/out flags argument should
actually have been an in flags argument and an out msg_flags argument.
Clarify that a bit in the documentation.

_wstat32i64() doesn't exist in msvcrt.dll. This doesn't cause a problem
on 32-bit Windows because mingw-w64 #defines _wstat32i64 to _wstati64,
but on 64-bit Windows we get a link error.
In addition, _wstat32i64() takes a struct _stat32i64 *, but
GLocalFileStat is #defined to struct _stati64, which is not the same
type on 64-bit Windows.
Fix by using _wstati64().

Update the notes that this is also used for Visual Studio 2015 support,
and correct the MSVC_VER_LONG for MSVC 2015, which is 14, not 2015.
Also add a note that this can be used for other projects that have
Visual Studio build support.
Add a note stating that this script can be copied for use to replace
strings in files when necessary, such as replacing autotools variables
in non-autotools builds, such as Visual Studio builds.
List the files that are generated in the process to generate the
glib-install property sheets, so that we can use that list as a
depedency, as well as deleting those files in one shot after the
property sheet is generated, so we don't need to worry about those
in 'make distclean' or so.
This reverts commit 662bf991c0. It is not
a straight up revert because the old commit involved various long since
removed ChangeLog files and we'd end up mudding the patch.
The system_header GCC pragma is breaking warnings in the various
g_return_* macros; GCC stopped warning when using a macro with a return
value in a function that returns void, as well as when using a macro
with no return value in a function that has a non-void return value.
Suppressing this kind of warnings is not a good idea.
Other compilers are unaffected, even ones like Clang with a GCC
compatibility layer.
Given the fact that the original commit was added 14 years ago as a
workaround in the old days of GTK+ 1.2, I think it's safe to drop it.

This will not catch the case where we fail in libffi and always use 0.
In fact, be a real annoying person and use (1 << 31) as a flags value to
test signedness, too.
Also update the testcase to actually use flags everywhere and ot uint.

Keeping these enabled causes too many people to file
bugs against gobject, and not enough people to send
patches to port away from deprecated properties.
