Toggle refs are seldom used, and when they are, it makes mostly sense that
there is only one of them. Thus, when removing the last toggle ref, also
remove the associated data.
Previously:
- if the object is currently not frozen, we called
g_object_notify_queue_freeze() once. Afterwards dispatch the event
directly. This is probably the common case, and requires one
notify_lock lock.
- if the object is currently frozen, we call
g_object_notify_queue_freeze(), g_object_notify_queue_add().
g_object_notify_queue_thaw().
This required taking the notify_lock three times.
- if the object is currently not frozen and in_init, then we called
g_object_notify_queue_freeze(), g_object_notify_queue_freeze(),
g_object_notify_queue_add(). This also required to take
the lock three times. There is another thaw at the end of
object initialization.
That was because we first call g_object_notify_queue_freeze() to see
whether we are frozen. And depending on that, queue the event (and thaw
again).
Instead, g_object_notify_queue_add() can do the check and queueing in
one step. There is no need to call a freeze() to (conditionally) enqueue
a notification. Now only one lock is taken in all cases.
Also, g_object_notify_queue_freeze() and g_object_notify_queue_thaw()
both call g_datalist_id_get_data() (which also take a bit lock). As the
thaw is no longer necessary, the second lock is also saved.
Before dispatching signals (and calling out to user code), we want to
take a reference and ensure that the object stays alive.
However, a thaw may not decrease the freeze_count to zero, or there may
be no properties to notify. Avoid taking a reference in those cases.
This was done since the beginning (commit e773d7dba6 ('fixed dealing
with collection/lcopy of NULL values.'). But it's not clear, why we
would need to take a reference on the calling object.
Freeze does not emit any signals/callbacks and does not call back to the
user. It just sets up some internal state.
This doesn't require to take a reference. The caller must hold a valid
reference to being with, but if that's given, there is no need to
acquire another reference.
g_atomic_int_get() returns a signed int. While we don't expect this to be ever
negative, a negative value would also indicate a bug. Adjust the check to assert
against negative ref-count too.
Generating gir and typelib files has inter-dependencies that may depend
on other elements.
For example, glib requires gobject and gdump generated files require
gmodule, so we've a cyclic dependency because gmodule requires gobject,
that requires glib.
To prevent this, let's just generate the introspection files at once in
a different meson file so that we don't have to deal with this.
As per this we could even revert commit fa37ab6d0 since gio is now
compiled before the gir files.
GLib gir requires glib-types.h that also includes gobject-visibility.h
that needs to be generated in order to be able to generate the GLib gir,
so explicitly add it to the sources.
Also, in order to link the typelib we need the definitions of the *_get_type()
functions that are defined in the gboxed.c file, so this should be part
of the gir sources or we'll have linking issues.
Aside from checking that we're accessing the global GParamSpecPool
without necessarily initializing GObjectClass, we should also verify
that we're doing so safely without the class init lock.
Ensure that the fix in commit af024b6d7e7d3fbef23c1f7d1f7704fc90ac4fb1
works, by replicating what gobject-introspection does:
- initialise the default GTypeInterface from a GType without also
initialising GObjectClass
- install a property for the interface
- find the GParamSpec using g_object_interface_find_property()
Right now, we're assuming that GObjectClass will be initialised first
and under a lock, but that's not always the case: when traversing a list
of type, the first one might be a GTypeInterface, and if we initialise
an interface that installs a property, the whole thing comes crashing
down because the global GParamSpecPool is not initialised.
Instead of taking a lock everywhere, we can use an atomic compare and
swap; the first thread that installs a property wins the race, as any
other access to the GParamSpecPool is performed under a lock.
While GParamSpecPool should never be used by newly written code, having
the ability to free the associated memory is a good idea. The only
reason why this hasn't been necessary until now is that we assume base
classes are going to keep their GParamSpecPool around forever.

Nicks and blurbs don't have any practical use for gio/gobject libraries.
Leaving tests untouched since this features is still used by other libraries.

This allows the methods for `GDir` to be introspected. While we don’t
expect languages which use the introspection bindings to use `GDir`,
full introspection support is necessary for the `GDir` documentation to
be correctly built with gi-docgen.

Modify all the similar Python test wrappers to set
`G_DEBUG=fatal-warnings` in the environment of the program being tested,
so we can catch unexpected warnings/criticals.
Adding this because I noticed it was missing, not because I noticed a
warning/critical was being ignored.

On CHERI-enabled systems we use uintptr_t as the underlying storage for
GType and therefore casting to gsize strips the upper bits from a pointer.
Fix this by casting via uintptr_t instead and introduce a new set of
macros to convert between GType and pointers.
This is required for CHERI systems such as Arm Morello, where gsize is
not large enough to hold a pointer. As GType can contain pointers, we
have to use guintptr instead.
It needs to be in a separate page because it’s all macros and they have
no type/class associated with them.

Currently, the introspection data for GLib and its sub-libraries is
generated by gobject-introspection, to avoid the cyclic dependency
between the two projects.
Since gobject-introspection is generally available on installed systems,
we can check for its presence, and generate the introspection data
directly from GLib.
This does introduce a cyclic dependency, which is why it's possible to
build GLib without introspection, then build gobject-introspection, and
finally rebuild GLib.
By having introspection data available during the GLib build, we can do
things like generating documentation; validating newly added API; and
close the loop between adding new API and it becoming available to non-C
consumers of the C ABI (i.e. language bindings).
