Added `g_alloca0()` which wraps `g_alloca()` and initializes
allocated memory to zeroes.
Added `g_newa0()` which wraps `g_alloca0()` in a typesafe manner.
Refreshed and tweaked by Nishal Kulkarni.
This is sad, but GResolver has one member variable for historical
reasons, to implement the reload signal. Since it offers a global
singleton, we should make sure it's really safe to use from multiple
threads at once.
This call was needed once upon a time, when GResolver had subclasses
that presumably relied on this. Nowadays, we have only
GThreadedResolver, which does not need it. res_init() is dangerous
because it modifies global state, so let's get rid of it.
Currently `g_prgname` can be freed by `g_set_prgname()` while another
thread is holding a pointer to it.
We use GQuark when setting g_prgname so that string is never released once set.
Also added unit test, which checks if setting prgname in multi-threaded
program is safe.
Closes: #847
meson in git master now warns about a missing `check:` kwarg, and may
eventually change the default from false to true.
Take the opportunity to require `objcopy --help` to succeed -- it is
unlikely to fail, but if it does something insane happened.
`clang-format-11` is now what’s available in our Debian Stable CI image.
This should fix failures in the `style-check-diff` job.

We used to use a pipe for the dbus daemon stdout to read the defined
address, but that was already requiring a workaround to ensure that dbus
daemon children were then able to write to stdout.
However the current implementation is still causing troubles in some
cases in which the daemon is very verbose, leading to hangs when writing
to stdout.
As per this, just don't handle stdout ourself, but use instead a
specific pipe to get the address address. That can now be safely closed
once we've received the data we need.
This reverts commit d80adeaa96.
Fixes: #2537
The code in `g_dbus_message_new_from_blob()` has now been fixed to
correctly error out on all truncated messages, so there’s no need for an
arbitrary programmer error if the input is too short to contain a valid
D-Bus message header.

Helps: #2528
Perform strict bounds checking when reading data from the D-Bus message,
and propagate errors to the callers.
Previously, truncated D-Bus messages could cause out-of-bounds reads.
This is a security issue, but one which is only exploitable when
communicating with an untrusted peer (who might send malicious
messages). Almost all D-Bus traffic is with a session or system bus,
where the dbus-daemon or dbus-broker is trusted, and is known to have
already rejected malformed (malicious) messages.
Accordingly, this is only exploitable with peer-to-peer D-Bus
conversations with an untrusted peer.
(Includes some minor cleanups from Philip Withnall.)

Since
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/glib-networking/-/merge_requests/173,
there is now a really surprising implication to using a non-default
GTlsDatabase: your database could do nothing at all other than wrap the
default database, which you would expect to result in no behavior
changes, but in fact it causes fewer security checks to be performed
during certificate verification. This is because certificate
verification moved from GTlsDatabase to GTlsConnection, allowing for
more security checks to be performed. But if using a non-default
GTlsDatabase, we have to fall back to letting GTlsDatabase to the
verification, as before.
This is the best we can do. It's not a regression for applications,
because it means applications get the previous pre-2.72 behavior. But it
does mean that new security checks added in 2.72 are not applied, which
is unfortunate, so we should warn developers about this.
This feature has been reverted for now because I messed up the
implementation and it was doing sync I/O during async API calls. Oops!
Since it's not present in 2.70 nor in 2.72, let's remove the reference
to the exact GLib version that this behavior was introduced in. I'd like
to get it working properly for 2.74, but it's not ready yet and just
changing the version to 2.74 feels optimistic.
Rather than waiting for a fixed period of time, poll in a loop until the
condition the test is expecting is true.
A better solution would be to use a `GSource` and wait until that’s
dispatched. But doing so might affect the behaviour of the
`GInputStream` under test, so busy-wait instead.

(some socket debug output)
Bail out! GLib-GIO:ERROR:../gio/tests/converter-stream.c:1037:test_converter_pollable: assertion failed (res == -1): (1 == -1)
```
I could not reproduce the failure remotely with a few hundred
invocations of the test, so it might only present itself on BSD, which
presumably has different socket timing behaviour from Linux.
