Any method that has its prefix'd argument as its first parameter will be
interpreted by introspection as a method. We don't want this, so we need
to swap the first two parameters.
This is strictly redundant now that we can get the ID from the schema
itself. Its only other purpose was to get the schema name from the
set_property() call to the constructed() call and we can avoid that by
doing the schema lookup at the time of the property being set.
Instead of building a reversed linked list by prepending in order and
then reversing it at the end, prepend in reverse by iterating backwards
through the directories (to get a list in-order when we're done).
These functions no longer have anything to do with GSettings itself, so

GSettings still wants direct access to the GSettingsSchemaKey structure,

My previous fix for GNOME#662100 was incomplete: it seems that with some
timings, the stream can be closed with an async read in-flight. This
can make the read fail immediately with G_IO_ERROR_CLOSED instead of
becoming cancelled.
This happens reliably on an embedded device, and rarely on my laptop;
repeating the test 100 times in quick succession reliably reproduces
the bug on my laptop.
It seems as though what we really want is to ignore read errors, once
we've established that we want to close the connection anyway - this
means that after asking to close, you're immune to exit-on-close,
which seems like a good rule.
An additional subtlety is that continuing to read after we know we
want to close is still required, otherwise we'll never emit ::closed.

Strictly speaking, neither of the two uses that aren't under the lock
*needs* to be atomic, but it seems better to be obviously correct (and
we save another 4 bytes of struct).
One of these uses is in g_dbus_connection_is_closed(), any use of which
is inherently a race condition anyway.
The other is g_dbus_connection_flush_sync, which as far as I can tell
just needs a best-effort check, to not waste effort on a connection that
has been closed for a while (but I could be wrong).
I removed the check for the closed flag altogether in
g_dbus_connection_send_message_with_reply_unlocked, because it turns out
to be redundant with one in g_dbus_connection_send_message_unlocked,
which is called immediately after.
g_dbus_connection_close_sync held the lock to check the closed flag,
which is no longer needed.
As far as I can tell, the only reason why the lock is still desirable
when setting the closed flag is so that remove_match_rule can't fail
by racing with close notification from the worker thread - but
on_worker_closed needs to hold the lock anyway, to deal with other
data structures, so there's no point in trying to eliminate the
requirement to hold the lock.

Also document which fields require such a check in order to have correct

This usage doesn't matches the GInitable documentation, which suggests
use of a GError - but using an uninitialized GDBusConnection is
programming error, and not usefully recoverable. (The GInitable
documentation may have been a mistake - GNOME#662208.) Also, not all of
the places where we need it can raise a GError.
The check serves a dual purpose: it turns a non-deterministic crash into
a deterministic critical warning, and is also a memory barrier for
thread-safety. All of these functions dereference or return fields that
are meant to be protected by FLAG_INITIALIZED, so they could crash or
return an undefined value to their caller without this, if called from a
thread that isn't the one that called initable_init() (although I can't
think of any way to do that without encountering a memory barrier,
undefined behaviour, or a race condition that leads to undefined
behaviour if the non-initializing thread wins the race).
One exception is that initable_init() itself makes a synchronous call.
We deal with that by passing new internal flags up the call stack, to
reassure g_dbus_connection_send_message_unlocked() that it can go ahead.

GDBusConnection sets the closed flag in the worker thread, then adds an

drops the ref when doing so). But _is_closed can return TRUE even before
signalling this, in which case the "closed" signal isn't fired and the
ref isn't dropped, causing the test to fail.
Instead simply always wait for the closed signal, which is a good thing

In registration_data_export_interface(), the object_path is obtained using:
object_path = g_dbus_object_get_object_path (G_DBUS_OBJECT (data->object));
But when exporting an object uniquely, the object_path is not assigned
to the GDBusObject until after all the interfaces are exported.
Therefore, registration_data_export_interface() is trying to export
the interface on the non-unique object path, which can lead to
run-time errors if an object already exists on that path.
Instead, registration_data_export_interface() should be passed the
object_path explicitly, as is done in

num_writes_pending was a counter, but it only took values 0 or 1, so make
it a boolean: it would never make sense to be trying to write out two
messages at the same time (they'd get interleaved).
Similarly, we can never be writing and flushing at the same time (that'd
mean we were flushing halfway through a message, which would be pointless)
so combine it with flush_pending too, calling the result output_pending.
Also assert that it takes the expected value whenever we change it,
and document the locking discipline used for it, including a subtle
case in write_message_in_idle_cb where it's not obvious at first glance
why we don't need the lock.
(Having the combined boolean at the top of the block of write-related
struct members improves struct packing on 64-bit platforms, by packing
read_num_ancillary_messages and output_pending into one word.)

Add an extra state pointer and an extra GDestroyNotify function
to the 'Chunk' definition... allowing bindings to attach some extra
state to memory chunks (to get memory management correctly from
language bindings).
Bug #589887
The GApplication test case tried to fork() while using GMainLoop,
causing problems. Avoid doing that by splitting the child process into
a separate program and spawning it in the usual way.
