This causes the desktop directory cache to be correctly reloaded between

This allows the list of directories which contain MIME data to be set,
separately from the list of directories returned by
g_get_user_data_home() and g_get_system_data_dirs().
While the latter are overridden for a unit test, we don’t have access to
the system MIME registry, which can sometimes be useful for tests which
need to know about standard MIME associations from shared-mime-info.
Allow g_content_type_set_mime_dirs() to be used from unit tests to allow
them to use the system MIME registry again, or to allow them to be
pointed to another custom registry.

In order to make xdgmime properly relocatable so that unit tests can use
it without it reading and modifying the user’s actual xdgmime files, and
without the need to call setenv() (and get tied up with thread safety
problems), add a xdg_mime_set_dirs() method to allow the dirs to be
overridden. They will still default to the values of $XDG_DATA_HOME and
$XDG_DATA_DIRS.

Otherwise we can have problems calling g_get_home_dir() from within a
g_build_*_dir() function elsewhere in gutils.c:
• There will be a deadlock due to trying to recursively acquire the
g_utils_global lock.
• A stale g_home_dir value may be used if a test harness has called
g_set_user_dirs() in the interim.
Fix that by splitting the code to find/construct the home path out of
g_get_home_dir() into g_build_home_dir(), the same way it’s split for
the other g_get_*() functions. Call g_build_home_dir() from any call
site where the g_utils_global lock is held.

g_assert() is for runtime code, and can be compiled out. g_assert_*()
cannot be compiled out, and give more helpful failure messages for

Add a new G_TEST_OPTIONS_ISOLATE_XDG_DIRS option for g_test_init() which
automatically creates a temporary set of XDG directories, and a
temporary home directory, and overrides the g_get_user_data_dir() (etc.)
functions for the duration of the unit test with the temporary values.
This is intended to better isolate unit tests from the user’s actual
data and home directory. It works with g_test_subprocess(), but does not
work with subprocesses spawned manually by the test — each unit test’s
code will need to be amended to correctly set the XDG_* environment
variables in the environment of any spawned subprocess.
“Why not solve that by setting the XDG environment variables for the
whole unit test process tree?” I hear you say. Setting environment
variables is not thread safe and they would need to be re-set for each
unit test, once worker threads have potentially been spawned.

Add a new internal function, g_set_user_dirs(), which will safely
override the values returned by g_get_user_data_dir() and friends, and
the value returned by g_get_home_dir().
This is intended to be used by unit tests, and will be hooked up to them
in a following commit.
This can be called as many times as needed by the current process. It’s
thread-safe. It does not modify the environment, so none of the changes
are propagated to any subsequently spawned subprocesses.

While it is currently OK to read the global variables backing functions
like g_get_user_data_dir() without the g_utils_global lock held (since
such a read is always preceeded by a critical section where the variable
is set to its final value), upcoming changes will allow those variables
to be changed. If they are changed from one thread while another thread
is calling (for example) g_get_user_data_dir(), the final read from the
second thread could race with the first thread.
Avoid that by only reading the global variables with the lock held.

While this might seem like a regression, it means that the home
directory can be overridden by GLib internal code, which will be done in
an upcoming commit. This brings g_get_home_dir() inline with functions
like g_get_user_data_dir().

In order to make some guarantees in an upcoming commit that test path
components won’t clash with file system names used by GLib, add a
restriction that test path components cannot start with a dot.
This is an API break, but one which anyone is unlikely to have hit. If
it is an issue, we can relax the restriction to be a warning.

Split out the code which calculates each XDG variable value from the
code which caches it, so that GLib can internally recalculate the
variables if needed, without necessarily trashing the user-visible
cache.
This will be useful in a following commit to add support for explicitly
reloading the variables.
This commit necessarily reworks how g_get_user_runtime_dir() is
structured, since it was inexplicably structured differently from (but
equivalently to) the other XDG variable functions.
Future refactoring could easily share a lot more code between these
g_build_*() functions.

Conceptually the binding is kept alive as long as both the source and
target exist. This means that an API user needs to take some care to
either hold a reference or only use a pointer to the binding as long as
also holding references to both objects.
Clarify the documentation a bit.
On non-systemd Gentoo systems the chosen timezone is expressed in
/etc/timezone and /etc/localtime may be a copy of the timezone
file instead of symlink. Add this path to the fallback test to
not regress dates into UTC.
This partially reverts commit 799f8dcd46.
This patch seems to break the writability status of the server socket: once
somebody writes to it with success, then it reports it is not writable
anymore. Also, when the client socket has the flag FD_CONNECT set once,
it is never cleared and then it reports it is always writable, also when
it is not.
This checks if the stream is writable before writing
to it. If the write succeeded with no error, then the
stream has to be also writable after the write
This is along the same lines as g_assert_cmpstr(), but for variants.
Based on a patch by Guillaume Desmottes.
