This patch solves two problems:
First, it allows builders to optionally cut the circular dependency
between dbus and glib by disabling the modular tests (just like how
the tests can be disabled in dbus).
Second, the tests are entirely pointless to build if cross-compiling.
It also moves us slightly closer to the long term future we want where
the tests are a separate ./configure invocation and run against the
INSTALLED glib, not the one in the source tree. This would allow us to
run the tests constantly, not just when glib is built.

On some systems gelf.h may not be stored under the top level include
directory in which case we need to add the correct include paths in
cflags by using pkg-config(1).
When building with MinGW/MSYS with srcdir != builddir the build fails:
- to locate the generated .def files
- creating libglib-gdb.py
- creating libgobject-gdb.py
Solved this by explicitly instructing these files to be generated
in $(builddir)/...

Helper scripts in C can be problematic for cross compiling: the compiler
produces executables for the target platform, which the host is usually
unable to run.

With this we're not longer exporting the constructor headers, which means
we're not tying ourselves to a macro that might need special tweaking on
a compiler-by-compiler basis.
This lets you poke at resources in elf files and
standalone resource bundles. So far, only listing
and extracting resources is supported. The support
for elf files requires libelf.
GResource is a bundle of files combined into a single binary blog.
The API lets you access the files the resource contains by
using resource paths. You can also register resources with a
global list and access these globally in a merged resource namespace.
The normal way this is used is to link in the resources into your
application/library and have it be automatically registred.
Resources are compiled from an xml description using
glib-compile-resources.
This interfaceifies the extra functions that were on GDBusActionGroup
for dealing with platform data.
The two main benefits of doing this:
- no longer have to do a silly song and dance in GApplication to avoid
calling GDBusActionGroup API from non-dbus-aware code
- the interface can be reused by the action group exporter to avoid
ugly and unbindable hook callbacks

Clean up the docs for GApplication and related classes.
I'm no longer writing documentation for the structure type of classes
and interfaces. See https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=665926
for discussin on the correct way forward on this point.
Also: stop putting gtk-doc comments in installed headers.
This is an interface to represent GSimpleActionGroup-like objects (ie:
those GActionGroups that operate by containing a number of named GAction
instances).
Add GNetworkMonitor and its associated extension point, provide a base
implementation that always claims the network is available, and a
netlink-based implementation built on top of that that actually tracks
the network state.

This was used as an optimisation for the macro hackery that used to live
in gthread.h. If a particular library or program knew that it could
rely on thread support being enabled, it would allow for static
evaluation of conditionals in some of those macros.
Since the macros are dead and thread support is now always-on, we can
get rid of this bit of legacy.
Historically we've added random symbols to the public API with warnings
that they're private; examples are:
glib_gettext(), glib_pgettext()
g_thread_functions_for_glib_use, g_thread_use_default_impl, etc.
And we almost added "GWakeup" to public API just to share between glib and
gio.
This new glib__private__() API exports a hidden vtable, and adds a macro
GLIB_PRIVATE_CALL() that makes it generally convenient to use.
This adds an extremely tiny cost for the double indirection; but it has
the benefit that we don't need to either:
1) compile the code into both glib and gio (like GWakeup), with the
inefficiency that implies.
2) Export a "do not use this" symbol; the serious problem with this is
that someone CAN use it pretty easily. Particularly if we document
it. It's far, far harder to peek into a structure without a public
header file.

In particular, remove the libasyncns import, which was only used by
GUnixResolver, which is only used when threads are not available.
Likewise remove GWin32Resolver, and the hacky broken non-threaded

G_THREADS_ENABLED still exists, but is always defined. It is still
possible to use libglib without threads, but gobject (and everything
above it) is now guaranteed to be using threads (as, in fact, it was
before, since it was accidentally impossible to compile with
--disable-threads).
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=616754
Also, link libgio to -lresolv explicitly, rather than depending on
getting it implicitly via the libasyncns build (which should
eventually be going away).

The main rationale for adding it was to avoid having gnome-shell
mmap'ing /etc/localtime once a second. However, we can just as easily
run inotify there, and given no one else was clamoring for a way to
detect when the time zone changes, I don't see a need for public API
here - at least not yet.
In the bigger picture, I just don't believe that the vast majority of
applications are going to go out of their way to instantiate and keep
around a random GTimeZoneMonitor class. And if they do, it's has the
side effect that for other bits of code in the process, local GDateTime
instances may start varying again!
So, if code can't rely on local GDateTime instances being in a
consistent state anyways, let's just do that always. The
documentation now says that this is the case. Applications have
always been able to work in a consistent local time zone by
instantiating a zone and then using it for GDateTime constructors.
We fix the "gnome-shell stats /etc/localtime once a second" issue by
using timerfd (in glib) and inotify (in gnome-shell).

The database is an abstract object implemented by the various TLS
backends, which is used by GTlsConnection to lookup certificates
and keys, as well as verify certificate chains.
Also add GTlsInteraction, which can be used to prompt the user

-In gio/Makefile.am, the name for one of the filters for capturing the
sources for the GIO VS Project Files is corrected.
-Remove the GIO source file items in the VS project files templates as
a result for this change, and move the entry of the "new"

To help cross compilation, don't use glib-genmarshal in our
build. This is easy now that we have g_cclosure_marshal_generic().
In gobject/, add gmarshal.[ch] to git (making the existing entry
points stubs).
In gio/, simply switch to using g_cclosure_marshal_generic().

Rather than having the gtk-doc build machinery have a list of header
files to exclude, change the GLib build to dump a list of public
header files generated from the maintained Makefile.am files for
each of glib/, gobject/, gio/.
Also, for glib, always install glib-unix.h, even on non-Unix
platforms, for the same reason we install gwin32.h even on Unix.

This avoids the generated types (e.g. ExampleAnimal, ExampleCat,

This adds an extension point for TLS connections to gio, with a

GProxyConnection is a class that was added for proxy support;
g_socket_client_connect() returns a GSocketConnection, but in some
cases (eg, encrypted SOCKS), GProxy might return a GIOStream that is
not a GSocketConnection. In that case, GSocketClient would wrap the
stream up in a GProxyConnection, which is a subclass of
GSocketConnection but uses the input/output streams of the wrapped
connection.
GTlsConnection is not a GSocketConnection, so it has the same problem,
so it will need the same treatment. Rename the class to
GTcpWrapperStream, and make it public, so people can extract the base
stream from it when necessary.
(This is not ideal and GSocketClient will need to be revisited as an
API at some point...)

When interfacing with APIs that expect unix-style async I/O, it is
useful to be able to tell in advance whether a read/write is going to
block. This adds new interfaces GPollableInputStream and
GPollableOutputStream that can be implemented by a GInputStream or
GOutputStream to add _is_readable/_is_writable, _create_source, and
_read_nonblocking/_write_nonblocking methods.
Also, implement for GUnixInput/OutputStream and
GSocketInput/OutputStream

This class inherit from GTcpConnection by refing the socket of
an existing GTcpConnection and wraps a custom GIOStream into itself. This
is to allow implementing proxies that alters data stream, like when using
GSSAPI privacy inside SOCKS5.

This is a minimal patch-out of the galias functionality. We will do a
release like this so that we can easily back it out if there are
reported problems.
A more substantial cleanup (mostly removing #includes from every file)
will follow if there are no issues.
Having this tool in GLib is a bad idea for a number of reasons:
- experience has shown that the simple file format was a bad idea
- the tool is currently implemented with a hack that would require a
dependency inversion to solve (the tool needs to depend on Python
GVariant bindings)
- the tool itself is unmaintained
It will be moved to the GConf git repository so people can continue to

This adds a GApplication object to GIO, which is the core of
an application support class, supporting
- uniqueness
- exporting actions (simple scripting)
- standard actions (quit, activate)
The implementation for Linux uses D-Bus, takes a name on the
session bus, and exports a org.gtk.Application interface.
Implementations for Win32 and OS X are still missing.
add GSimplePermission, a trivial const implementation of GPermission
can-request and can-release are always false for this implementation and
the value of 'allowed' is decided at construction.
gunixcredentialsmessage.h ought to live with other UNIX headers,
and the credentials are moved from dbus-specific to just GIO sources.
Also move gfiledescriptorbased.c to the UNIX sources.
