libgamin was last released in 2007 and is dead
[upstream](https://gitlab.gnome.org/Archive/gamin). Distributions may
still ship it (although Fedora no longer does), but we want people to
use inotify on Linux since it’s actively supported.
BSDs use kqueue. Windows uses win32filemonitor.
FAM might still be used on some commercial Unix distributions, but there
are no contributors from those distributions, and certainly no CI for
them to prevent regressions.

It used to exist on Solaris, but GLib’s support for it was mostly
removed in 2015 in commit 21ab660cf8.
Remove the final few references.

This allows the controller to explicitly be removed from the bus, in a
way that allows the caller to synchronise with it and know that all
other references to the controller should have been dropped (i.e. after
this method returns, there should be no in-flight D-Bus calls still
holding a reference to the object).
This is needed to be able to guarantee finalisation of the controller in
unit tests (and comparable real-world situations).

The resources data is generated for both GCC and MSVC toolchains, even
though we know beforehand which toolchain we're going to compile it for.
By dropping the data duplication we make the generated resources file
faster to compile, especially when dealing with large embedded data,
instead of relying on the C pre-processor to walk the whole file and
discard the branch we're not using.
When working with storage (especially GInputStream or GOutputStream) it
is preferred to use page-aligned buffers so that the operating system
can do page-mapping tricks as the operation passes through the kernel.
Another use case is allocating memory used for vectorised operations,
which must be aligned to specific boundaries.
POSIX and Windows, as well as the C11 specification, provide this kind
of allocator functions, and GLib already makes use of it inside GSlice.
It would be convenient to have a public, portable wrapper that other
projects can use.

If `GDebugControllerDBus` remains as the only, or default,
implementation of `GDebugController`, `dup_default()` cannot work.
`GDebugControllerDBus` requires a `GDBusConnection` at construction
time, which the `GIOModule` construction code can’t provide it.
Either we use a default D-Bus connection (but which one? and how would
it be changed by the user later if it was the wrong one?), or delegate
singleton handling of the `GDebugController` to the user.
The latter approach seems more flexible.

Much like GBindingGroup, the GSignalGroup object allows you to connect many
signal connections for an object and connect/disconnect/block/unblock them
as a group.
This is useful when using many connections on an object to ensure that they
are properly removed when changing state or disposing a third-party
object.
This has been used for years in various GNOME projects and makes sense to
have upstream instead of multiple copies.
Originally, GBindingGroup started with Builder as a way to simplify all
of the third-degree object bindings necessary around Model-Controller
objects such as TextBuffer/TextView.
Over time, it has grown to be useful in a number of scenarios outside
of Builder and has been copied into a number of projects such as GNOME
Text Editor, GtkSourceView, libdazzle, and more.
It makes sense at this point to unify on a single implementation and
include that upstream in GObject directly alongside GBinding.
This is intended to provide a uniform interface for controlling whether
the debug output from an application (or service) is emitted, typically
to journald, but actually to wherever the application chooses to output
it.
The main implementation of `GDebugController` is `GDebugControllerDBus`,
which is intended to be used on Linux. Other implementations may be
added in future for other platforms, or larger applications may want to
provide their own implementation which integrates with their ecosystem.
The `GDebugControllerDBus` implementation exposes a D-Bus interface at
`/org/gtk/Debugging` with a method to enable or disable debug
output at runtime.
This could be used by external harnesses, such as GNOME Builder or
systemd, to give a uniform way to get debug output from an application.

Fixes: #1190
This is an API analogue of the G_MESSAGES_DEBUG environment variable. It
is intended to be exposed outside applications (for example, as a D-Bus
interface — see follow-up commits) so that there is a uniform interface
for controlling the debug output of an application.

This function creates a new hash table, but inherits the functions used
for the hash, comparison, and key/value memory management functions from
another hash table.
The primary use case is to implement a behaviour where you maintain a
hash table by regenerating it, letting the values not migrated be freed.
See the following pseudo code:
```
GHashTable *ht;
init(GList *resources) {
ht = g_hash_table_new (g_str_hash, g_str_equal, g_free, g_free);
for (r in resources)
g_hash_table_insert (ht, strdup (resource_get_key (r)), create_value (r));
}
update(GList *resources) {
GHashTable *new_ht = g_hash_table_new_similar (ht);
for (r in resources) {
if (g_hash_table_steal_extended (ht, resource_get_key (r), &key, &value))
g_hash_table_insert (new_ht, key, value);
else
g_hash_table_insert (new_ht, strdup (resource_get_key (r)), create_value (r));
}
g_hash_table_unref (ht);
ht = new_ht;
}
```
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.
Use g_macro__has_attribute to detect it instead of
hardcoding __GNUC__ || __clang__. This adds support
for a few compiler and is consistent with the rest
of the gmacros.h file.
This allows the flag to allow interactive auth to be set. Previously, it
was unconditionally unset.

This allows a pattern like
g_test_message ("cannot reticulate splines: %s", error->message);
g_test_fail ();
to be replaced by the simpler
g_test_fail_printf ("cannot reticulate splines: %s", error->message);
with the secondary benefit of making the message available to TAP
consumers as part of the "not ok" message.

Forming the g_test_skip() message from printf-style arguments seems
common enough to deserve a convenience function.
g_test_incomplete() is mechanically almost equivalent to g_test_skip()
(the semantics are different but the implementation is very similar),
so give it a similar mechanism for symmetry.
