Meson 0.54.0 added a new method meson.override_dependency() that must be
used to ensure dependency consistency. This patch ensures a project that
depends on glib will never link to a mix of system and subproject
libraries. It would happen in such cases:
The system has glib 2.40 installed, and a project does:
dependency('glib-2.0', version: '>=2.60',
fallback: ['glib', 'glib_dep'])
dependency('gobject-2.0')
The first call will configure glib subproject because the system libglib
is too old, but the 2nd call will return system libgobject.
By overriding 'gobject-2.0' dependency while configuring glib subproject
during the first call, meson knows that on the 2nd call it must return
the subproject dependency instead of system dependency.
This also has the nice side effect that with Meson >0.54.0 an
application depending on glib can declare the fallback without knowing
the dependency variable name: dependency('glib-2.0', fallback: 'glib').
There were some problems about where to install `gio-launch-desktop` to
support multiarch systems without circular dependencies. Simon McVittie
suggested that, actually, given the current set of platforms supported
by `GDesktopAppInfo` (they’re all POSIX), we could just use `sh`.
That simplifies things nicely. `gio-launch-desktop` can always be
resurrected (and the multiarch debate continued and resolved) if needed
in future.

There were a couple of custom paths which could end up being relative,
rather than absolute, due to not properly prefixing them with
`get_option('prefix')`.
The use of `join_paths()` here correctly drops all path components
before the final absolute path in the list of arguments. So if someone
configures GLib with an absolute path for `gio_module_dir`, that will be
used unprefixed; but if someone configures with a relative path, it will
be prefixed by `get_option('prefix)`.

If we're cross-compiling, the installed-tests are useful even if we
can't run them on the build machine: we can copy them to the host
machine (possibly via a distro package like Debian's libglib2.0-tests)
and run them there.
While I'm changing the build-tests condition anyway, deduplicate it.
Based on a patch by Helmut Grohne.

The header file was installed when building using autotools, but was
inadvertently omitted in the meson targets.
Luckily, ABI is not impacted, since gnativesocketaddress.c was always
compiled and linked into libgio.
Fixes: #1854
This fix build error for projects that use gnome.compile_resources()
when glib is built as a subproject and not installed on the build
machine.
Note that this is not working for cross compilation cases, because it
would require to compile everything twice (for host and build machines).
A better solution would be to rewrite those tools in python. See #1859.
We're using the `install` argument for configure_file() all over the
place.
The support for an `install` argument for configure_file() was added in
Meson 0.50, but we haven't bumped the minimum version of Meson we
require, yet; which means we're getting compatibility warnings when
using recent versions of Meson, and undefined behaviour when using older
versions.
The configure_file() object defaults to `install: false`, unless an
install directory is used. This means that all instances of an `install`
argument with an explicit `true` or `false` value can be removed,
whereas all instances of `install` with a value determined from a
configuration option must be turned into an explicit conditional.
Using the generic marshaller has drawbacks beyond performance. One such
drawback is that it breaks the stack unwinding from the Linux kernel due
to having unsufficient data to walk past ffi_call_unixt64. That means that
performance profiling by application developers looks grouped among
seemingly unrelated code paths.
While we can't fix the kernel unwinding here, we can provide proper
c_marshallers and va_marshallers for objects within Gio so that
performance profiling of applications is more reliable.

The most useful ones were already listed in the pkg-config file, but
some others (notably, `gio-querymodules`) were not. List them in the
pkg-config file with their installed paths so that the right binary is
used if GIO is installed in a non-default path.

Currently, there is no way to prevent tests from building using meson.
When cross-compiling, building the tests isn't necessary.
Instead, only build the tests on the following conditions:
1) If not cross-compiling.
2) If cross-compiling, and there is an exe wrapper.
Almost everything that needs gioenumtypes.h also needs
gobjectenumtypes.h. Fixes:

Turns out the fix in commit 93555577c wasn't enough, when using glib as
subproject and the parent project uses only libgio_dep, and include
<gi18n.h>, it won't find libintl.h because it's in the
include_directories of libglib_dep. Fix that by declaring dependencies
explicitly, which is the right thing to do since glib and gobject are
public dependencies of gio. That reflects what we do for the pkg-config
file as well.
When using glib as subproject we are forced to pass glib_dep,
gobject_dep and gio_dep to any build target. If we pass only gio_dep it
will missing include directory for glib and gobject.
This avoids the convenience library being treated as though it was
an installed static library (objects not included in the dependent
static library, and convenience library being listed in the pkg-config
metadata), both of which would make static linking impossible.

1) Remove the non-Windows-only condition for subdir('tests').
2) Add libiphlpapi, libws2_32 and libsecur32 deps, needed for W32 tests.
3) Remove the -no-undefined argument (gcc doesn't understand it,
it *does* understand -Wl,-no-undefined; either way, the test
compiles without this argument just fine; maybe meson adds it
by itself - you can hardly build shared modules without it).
4) Add or fix a number of includes
5) Disable gdbus-objectmanager tests when building with MSVC
(right now these tests don't work on Windows anyway, so the fact
that MSVC can't even build them properly is irrelevant;
most likely gdbus-codegen needs changes to put _GLIB_EXTERN
before each function)
GSettings XML schema files are installed in a well known directory
under Glib's installation directory: `glib-2.0/schemas`. However,
the Glib installation directory might vary, so the exact location of
the schema files might be unknown.
The information regarding this directory has been added to GIO's
pkg-config file, so it can be checked, and also overrided, by using
the command line utility.
7efd76dd67 added these configure time tests to work around a bug
with older Android. Since the test didn't take Windows into account it
wrongfully applied the workaround on Windows too, breaking the build.
With meson this wasn't an issue since the check is skipped on Windows there
and our CI didn't catch this issue.
Change the test to run on Android only for meson and autotools.
This also makes it clear that the test+code can be dropped again if we stop
supporting older Android versions at some point.
In order to use the new posix_spawn gspawn codepath, for more robust
app launching when available memory is low, we need to meet some
conditions.
child_setup needs to be NULL for this optimization to work, so drop
the internal child_setup that is used here. Replace it with a lightweight
wrapper binary (gio-launch-desktop) that sets GIO_LAUNCHED_DESKTOP_FILE_PID
before executing the app.
Adjust PATH for gio tests so that it can execute the new binary from the
build directory.
GVfs utils used to have bash completion, which was pretty useful. However,
it hasn't been ported to gio tool unfortunately. GLib provides completion
for various utils already, so it would be nice to provide completion also
for gio tool. I've updated old bash completion code and merged with some
my old unmerged fixes.
The gvfs completion used "gvfs-ls --show-completions" helper. This mentioned
option hasn't been obviously ported to "gio list" and the proposed completion
doesn't add this option in "gio list" to not pollute the codes, but maybe it
is a bit slower as consequence.
The proposed bash completion suggests subcommands, uris and paths including
the remote mounts. It contains some workarounds, especially because of proper
handling of paths with colons and other special chars (like spaces)...
libelf, just like libc, is not a single project. It is an interface
which can be implemented independently by different operating systems.
Therefore, we cannot expect all systems to provide a .pc file, and we
should fallback to cc.find_library and cc.has_function like what we
already do in autotools build.
gio-querymodules-wrapper.py is copied from glib-networking. This python
wrapper script is needed because meson.build cannot check for DESTDIR
env variable itself, unlike Makefile.am. It is used to update
giomodule.cache file when installing GIO modules like fam.
- Compiler checks were failing because it were using C compiler to build
objc code.
- xdgmime is needed on osx too.
- -DGIO_COMPILATION must be passed to objc compiler too.
- gapplication doesn't build on osx, it is excluded in autotools too.
We have to be careful when we use add_project_link_arguments(): All
targets are built using link arguments for the C language, except for
libgio on osx which use the objc language, because it contains some ".m"
source files. See https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/issues/3585.

Those files got renamed to .c to work around an automake issue, but
Meson needs them to have .m extension. Better rename them at build time
in Makefile.am since that's where the workaround is needed.

On non-glibc platforms gettext is provided by extra libintl dependency.
We wrongly thought libintl is an internal dependency and applications
needs to explicitly link on it, but turns out that breaks many
applications and with autotools the .pc generated actually has -lintl in
public "Libs:".

-z nodelete breaks the libresourceplugin module usage in the resources.c
test, which expects to be able to unload it.
Make the Meson build match what the autotools build does: only pass
glib_link_flags to the headline libraries (glib-2.0, gio-2.0,
gobject-2.0, gthread-2.0, gmodule-2.0) and omit it from all other build
targets.

This adds a null notification backend implementation for win32, purely
to avoid crashes due to a missing backend when applications use
GNotification. This backend does nothing except print a warning when a
notification is supposed to be emitted.
In future, it can be expanded to use win32 API to present toaster
notifications appropriately.
