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().

Adding file descriptors to a GSource provides similar functionality to
the old g_source_add_poll() API with two main differences.
First: the list of handles is managed internally and therefore users are
prevented from randomly modifying the ->events field. This prepares us
for an epoll future where changing the event mask is a syscall.
Second: keeping the list internally allows us to check the ->revents for
events for ourselves, allowing the source to skip implementing
check/prepare. This also prepares us for the future by allowing an
implementation that doesn't need to iterate over all of the sources
every time.

g_test_trap_fork() doesn't work on Windows and is potentially flaky on
unix anyway given the fork-but-don't-exec. Replace it with
g_test_trap_subprocess(), which re-spawns the same program with
arguments telling it to run a specific (otherwise-ignored) test case.
Make the existing g_test_trap_fork() unit tests be unix-only (they
never passed on Windows anyway), and add a parallel set of
g_test_trap_subprocess() tests.

This is a new convenience method designed to simplify some use
cases of GFileEnumerator, by making it easy to get the next file
from a file enumerator.

Add g_socket_get_option() and g_socket_set_option(), wrapping
getsockopt/setsockopt for the case of integer-valued options. Update
code to use these instead of the underlying calls.

Install a public "gnetworking.h" header that can be used to include
the relevant OS-dependent networking headers. This does not really
abstract away unix-vs-windows however; error codes, in particular,
are incompatible.
gnetworkingprivate.h now contains just a few internal URI-related
functions
Also add a g_networking_init() function to gnetworking.h, which can be
used to explicitly initialize OS-level networking, rather than having
that happen as a side-effect of registering GInetAddress.

This lets you cache type lookup information and then know when
the cache information is out of date. In particular, we want this
in order to be able to cache g_type_from_name() lookups in the Gtk+
theme machinery.

When running a test program (ie, if g_test_init() has been called),
don't pop up a dialog box when a fatal error occurs. Just print the
message to stderr and exit.

Really, the memory output stream API is too warped around the model
where it's a fixed size buffer that you've already allocated. Even in
C, I find myself always wanting to use it to just accumulate data into
an arbitrary-sized buffer it allocates.
Unfortunately, it's also not usable from bindings because it's not
common to bind g_free() and g_realloc(), but if you just pass NULL, you
get the default of a fixed size, which is useless as per above.
I am going to use this from a gjs test case, and the GSubprocess test
cases also will use it.

Add a pair of new APIs: one to GFile to create a new file from a
commandline arg relative to a given cwd and one to
GApplicationCommandLine to create a GFile from an arg, relative to the
cwd of the invoking commandline.

The previous fix didn't work, because every place within glib that
used any of the functions also needed to be including win32compat.h.
So, move the prototypes back to their original headers (but at least
all in one place at the bottom).
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=688109
To avoid -Wmissing-prototype warnings, we need to prototype both the
original and the _utf8 versions of all of the functions that have had
_utf8-renaming on Windows. But duplicating all the prototypes is ugly,
so rather than doing them "in-place", move them all to a new header
file just for that.

Move the guts of g_type_init() into a ctor and turn g_type_init() itself
into a do-nothing function.
g_type_init_with_debug_flags() now ignores its arguments, but it has
always been possible to achieve the same effect via environment
variables.

Reimplement gioscheduler in terms of GTask, and deprecate the original
gioscheduler methods. Update docs to point people to GTask rather than
gioscheduler and GSimpleAsyncResult, but don't actually formally
deprecate GSimpleAsyncResult yet.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=661767
GTask is a replacement for GSimpleAsyncResult and GIOScheduler, that
also allows for making cancellable wrappers around non-cancellable
functions (as in GThreadedResolver).

This is the expected (and sane) behavior - without this bug-fix you'd
have to add "Since" to every member of a newly added D-Bus interface.
Also show-case this in the codegen example.
