ssize_t is supported widely, but not universally, so use gssize instead.
Currently only one piece of code actually *needs* this change to be compilable
with MSVC, the rest are mostly in *nix parts of the code, but these are changed
too, for symmetry.

Prevent the situation where errno is set by function A, then function B
is called (which is typically _(), but could be anything else) and it
overwrites errno, then errno is checked by the caller.
errno is a horrific API, and we need to be careful to save its value as
soon as a function call (which might set it) returns. i.e. Follow the
pattern:
int errsv, ret;
ret = some_call_which_might_set_errno ();
errsv = errno;
if (ret < 0)
puts (strerror (errsv));
This patch implements that pattern throughout GLib. There might be a few
places in the test code which still use errno directly. They should be
ported as necessary. It doesn’t modify all the call sites like this:
if (some_call_which_might_set_errno () && errno == ESOMETHING)
since the refactoring involved is probably more harmful than beneficial
there. It does, however, refactor other call sites regardless of whether
they were originally buggy.

GLib has g_unix_mount_at (mount_path) already, let's add g_unix_mount_for
(file_path) for whatever path. GLib already contains some private code
for such task. Let's make this code public. This functionality is needed
by GVfs (see Bug 771431) in order to avoid copy-and-pasting.

Include the filename for the file in question in many of the
error messages in glocalfile.c. This is useful information when
diagnosing such errors, so make it easily available.

Add filesystem attribute to detect remote filesystems in order to
replace hardcoded filesystem types in GtkFileSystem. Set this attribute
also for GLocalFile appropriately.
Bump version to 2.49.3, so that early adopters of new API have a version
number to target.
This was confusing some static analysis. Through canonicalize_filename()
at construction time, we guaranteed that ->filename is canonical and
absolute, so g_path_skip_root() should never fail.

Commit 8ece2de964 transplanted a block of
code that contained an early-exit-on-error case which freed several
variables.
Because of the move, the normal-path unconditional free of one of these
variables is now above this early exit case, so if this block is hit, it
will now be a double-free.
Remove that.

Recent changes to file monitors removed the delay before events were
reported. Among other things, this caused the trash backend of gvfs to
notice trashed files sooner than before.
On noticing trashed files, the backend tries to read the info file to
discover (among other things) the original location of the file.
Unfortunately, g_local_file_trash() does a strange dance when trashing a
file. It does a loop of open(O_EXCL) in order to file an empty filename
in the trash to write an info file to, trashes the file, and only then
writes the contents of the info file. This means that at the time the
file is moved to the trash, the info file is an empty stub.
Change the order so that we write out the actual content of the info
file first. If the actual trash files then we will unlink the info file
anyway.

_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().

Remove all event merging and dispatch logic from GFileMonitor. The only
implementation of GFileMonitor outside of glib is in gvfs and it already
does these things properly.
Get rid of GLocalDirectoryMonitor. We will use a single class,
GLocalFileMonitor, for both directory and file monitoring. This will
prevent every single backend from having to create two objects
separately (eg: ginotifydirectorymonitor.c and ginotifyfilemonitor.c).
Introduce GFileMonitorSource as a thread-safe cross-context dispatch
mechanism. Put it in GLocalFileMonitor. All backends will be expected
to dispatch via the source and not touch the GFileMonitor object at all
from the worker thread.
Remove all construct properties from GLocalFileMonitor and remove the
"context" construct property from GFileMonitor. All backends must now
get the information about what file to monitor from the ->start() call
which is mandatory to implement.
Remove the implementation of rate limiting in GFileMonitor and add an
implementation in GLocalFileMonitor. gvfs never did anything with this
anyway, but if it wanted to, it would have to implement it for itself.
This was done in order to get the rate_limit field into the
GFileMonitorSource so that it could be safely accessed from the worker
thread.
Expose g_local_file_is_remote() internally for NFS detection.
With the "is_remote" functionality exposed, we can now move all
functions for creating local file monitors to a proper location in
glocalfilemonitor.c
Port the inotify backend to adjust to the changes above. None of the
other backends are ported yet. Those will come in future commits.
Add a new internal constructor for GLocalFile (which itself is private).
This new constructor allows creating a GLocalFile from a dirname and a
basename, assuming that the dirname is already in canonical form and the
basename is a regular basename.
This will be used for creating GLocalFile instances from the file
monitoring code (for signal emissions).

In Windows development environments that have it, <unistd.h> is mostly
just a wrapper around several other native headers (in particular,
<io.h>, which contains read(), close(), etc, and <process.h>, which
contains getpid()). But given that some Windows dev environments don't
have <unistd.h>, everything that uses those functions on Windows
already needed to include the correct Windows header as well, and so
there is never any point to including <unistd.h> on Windows.
Also, remove some <unistd.h> includes (and a few others) that were
unnecessary even on unix.

Assume unix platforms support the original POSIX.1 standard.
Specifically, assume that if G_OS_UNIX, then we have chown(),
getcwd(), getgrgid(), getpwuid(), link(), <grp.h>, <pwd.h>,
<sys/types.h>, <sys/uio.h>, <sys/wait.h>, and <unistd.h>.
Additionally, since all versions of Windows that we care about also
have <sys/types.h>, we can remove HAVE_SYS_TYPES_H checks everywhere.
Also remove one include of <sys/times.h>, and the corresponding
configure check, since the include is not currently needed (and may
always have just been a typo for <sys/time.h>).

Add a convenient and race-free method of watching local files from the
GLib worker thread.
Without this, the race-free way to create a monitor that dispatches
events to the worker thread looked something like this:
- dispatch an idle to the worker thread
- from the idle, create the monitor and connect signals
- from the original thread, wait (on a cond?) until the worker thread
has finished setting up the monitor
- read the file that you were monitoring
which is just ridiculously complicated...
To use the new API:
monitor = g_local_file_monitor_new_in_worker ("/path/to/some/file",
G_FILE_MONITOR_NONE,
&error);
g_assert_no_error (error);
g_signal_connect (monitor, "changed", G_CALLBACK (callback), NULL);
g_local_file_monitor_start (monitor);
'callback' will run from the GLib worker thread.
This is the reason that the start() call was introduced in the previous
commit. The backends that don't use the start() call will have a very
thin race between creating the monitor and connecting the signal, but
hopefully they will be fixed soon.
These new APIs will be used (at least) from gdesktopappinfo to watch for
changes in the desktop file directories.

It turns out that although dirent is available on mingw32 (where the
code was originally tested), it is not usable from MSVC.
Avoid portability problems by just using GDir.
Also, be careful about ensuring that we utf8-format filenames in our
error messages, and leave out the "file://" component since the strings
we're displaying are not URIs (and we don't want to make them URIs since
the extra escaping would reduce legibility).

patch and for reviews.

Previously, g_file_copy() would (on Unix) create files with the
default mode of 644. For applications which might at user request
copy arbitrary private files such as ~/.ssh or /etc/shadow, a
world-readable copy would be temporarily exposed.
This patch is suboptimal in that it *only* fixes g_file_copy()
for the case where both source and destination are instances of
GLocalFile on Unix.
The reason for this is that the public GFile APIs for creating files
allow very limited control over the access permissions for the created
file; one can either say a file is "private" or not. Fixing
this by adding e.g. g_file_create_with_attributes() would make sense,
except this would entail 8 new API calls for all the variants of
_create(), _create_async(), _replace(), _replace_async(),
_create_readwrite(), _create_readwrite_async(), _replace_readwrite(),
_replace_readwrite_async(). That can be done as a separate patch
later.

There are two benefits to this:
1) We can centralize any operating system specific knowledge of
close-vs-EINTR handling. For example, while on Linux we should never
retry, if someone cared enough later about HP-UX, they could come by
and change this one spot.
2) For places that do care about the return value and want to provide
the caller with a GError, this function makes it convenient to do so.
Note that gspawn.c had an incorrect EINTR loop-retry around close().

Add a pair of new extension points: 'gio-nfs-file-monitor' and
'gio-nfs-directory-monitor'.
Add a check to GLocalFile when creating a file monitor. If the
requested file is in the user's home directory and the user has an NFS
home directory then attempt to use an implementation of one of the new
extension points. If we don't have any implementations then fall back
to the normal "local" monitors.

GLocalFile was (in certain situations) translating a path like
"/foo/bar/baz" to "/foo\bar\baz" on win32. Fix it to make sure the
initial directory separator gets canonicalized too.
Fixes gio/tests/g-icon on win32.

Rather than defining _WIN32_WINNT only in a handful of files, define
it in config.h, like we do with _GNU_SOURCE.
(Also remove a "#define WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN" that isn't really all
that useful.)

Because it now handles EINTR. And we should do so. While most people
use Linux, which tries very hard to avoid propagating EINTR back up

This is implemented by with statfs_buffer.f_bavail (free blocks
for unprivileged users) as a default way to retrieve real free space.
Based on a patch by Marcus Carlson, bug 625751.
- getmntinfo can take struct statfs or statvfs depending on the
OS. Use getvfsstat and if not found getfsstat instead. Idea from
Dan Winship.
- g_local_file_query_filesystem_info(): use statvfs.f_fstypename
if available
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=617949
- move choice of statfs vs statvfs from gio/glocalfile.c to configure.ac
- if statvfs is the choice, then don't check number of arguments to statfs()
- use choice in gio/gunixmounts.c as well
