When an error occurs while reading the file input stream in
g_file_load_contents (e.g. because the operation was cancelled), the
code is correctly calling g_task_return_error(), but in the callback
from the close operation, g_task_return_boolean() will be called again.
Code that cleans up its state in the async callback will then be called
twice, leading to invalid memory access.

The point of g_source_set_closure() is getting memory management right,
including handling closures disappearing from the outside (for example
because a runtime they refer to is being shutdown). This means that
sources with an associated closure should remove themselves from the
main loop and free memory when the closure is invalidated.

Declare explicit support for monitor NFS from the fam file monitoring
backend. This will cause it to be preferred for monitoring on NFS, if
it is installed.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=592211
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.

Get rid of the complicated default module detection code in
GLocalFileMonitor and GLocalDirectoryMonitor and use the new
_gio_module_get_default_type() function instead.
This change also adds the ability to override the default file monitor
via the GIO_USE_FILE_MONITOR environment variable in the same way as can
be done for GIO_USE_VFS.

_gio_module_get_default() is a very convenient function for modules
implementing a singleton -- it finds the default module by priority
subject to override by a given environment variable name, instantiates
it, and caches the instance for future calls. It also has the ability
to query instances for being 'active' using a callback.
It doesn't work very well for non-singletons (like file monitors).
Add a new function _gio_module_get_default_type() that skips the
instantiation, returning the GType instead. As a replacement for the
'active' callback, a vtable offset can be given for a virtual function
to use to query if a particular backend is supported.

We no longer need entries to generate the .def files in the property sheets
as we are now doing __declspec (dllexport) to export all the needed
symbols. So, purge these items from the property sheets since they are no
longer used.
We should also stop using gthread/gthread.def file as well, since we
also use __declspec (dllexport) for the two (deprecated) functions there
since commit f8756694.
This should also silence some linker warnings in x64 builds.
Also get rid of the references to the .symbols files in the
.vcxproj.filters(in) in the various Visual C++ 2010 projects
GVariant has the concept of fixed-sized types (ie: types for which all
values of the type will have the same size). Examples are booleans,
integers, doubles, etc. Tuples containing only these types are also
fixed size.
When GVariant is trying to deal with a fixed-sized value for which it
doesn't have a sufficient backing store (eg: the case where a
fixed-sized value was created with g_variant_new_data() with an
incorrect number of bytes) it denotes this by setting the size of the
value to the correct fixed size but using a NULL data pointer.
This is well-documented in several code comments and also in the public
API documentation for g_variant_get_data() which describes the situation
number which NULL could be returned.
The decision to deal with this case in this way was changed at the last
minute around the time that GVariant was merged -- originally we had an
elaborate setup involving allocating an internal buffer of sufficient
size to be shared between all invalid values.
Unfortunately, when making this change a small detail was missed.
gvs_tuple_get_child() (the function responsible for deserialising
tuples) was updated to properly check for this case (and it contains a
comment about why it must). gvs_tuple_is_normal() (the function
responsible for verifying if a tuple is in normal form) was not.
We add the check now.
Note that this problem does not exist with any other container type
because tuples are the only container capable of being fixed-sized. All
other container types (arrays, maybes, variants) can contain a variable
number of items or items of variable types (note: we consider dictionary
entries to be two-tuples). The code for validating non-container values
also contains a check for the case of NULL data.
The problem also does not occur in the only other function dealing with
serialised tuples: gvs_tuple_n_children(). Whereas other container
types would have to inspect the serialised data to determine the number
of children, for tuples it can be determined directly from the type.
We have various sub directories in glib/ and gio/ (eg: inotify, gnulib,
pcre, xdgmime, etc.) that build convenience libraries that are then
included into libglib and libgio. The files in these directories need
to be built with the same visibility policy as the files in the first
level directories, so add CFLAGS for them all.
This wasn't a problem when the visibility flags were set directly in
CFLAGS but then we had to deal with some modules that we built that we
explicitly wanted to export symbols from.
For now, we can keep things the way they are because it's less hacky and
although it's a theoretical hazard to forget these CFLAGS, we rarely add
new subdirectories to the build.
Before this commit, the only difference between the expected and actual
ABI were the addition of _init and _fini symbols in each module (now
that regexp-based export control is not catching those).
This is the bug that has been causing segfaults and criticals when accel
keys are used to close windows via GtkUIManager.
The main cause of this problem was a mistake made in the original patch
when modifying the handler_lookup() to take the extra 'closure'
parameter. The original check used was:
if (handler->sequential_number == handler_id ||
(closure && handler->closure == closure))
It was called to find a particular closure like so:
handler_lookup (instance, 0, closure, &signal_id);
The problem is that the check will return if either the signal ID or
closure matches (if a closure was given). The calling code assumes 0 to
be an invalid signal ID which will match no handlers, but unfortunately
the rest of gsignal code uses this to denote a signal that has already
been disconnected. The result is that this function was searching for a
matching closure _or_ the first already-disconnected handler. When it
found the already-disconnected handler, we'd get criticals and crashes.
The condition has been corrected; it now ignores the handler_id
parameter if the closure parameter is non-NULL.
While we're in here, change the lifecycle of the invalidation notify to
be easier to understand.
Before, the notify was removed when the last reference on the handler
dropped. This could happen in very many situations; often at the end of
an emission. Instead, we now tie the registration of the notifier to
the lifecycle of the signal connection. When the signal is disconnected
we remove the notification, even if other references are held (eg:
because it is currently being dispatched).

Add read_async() and skip_async() tests to buffered-input-stream.
Fix and re-enable filter-streams's existing close_async() tests, and
add read_async(), skip_async(), and write_async() tests as well. Also,
redo the tests to use dummy GFilterInputStream and GFilterOutputStream
subclasses rather than GBufferedInput/OutputStream, so that we're
testing the base filter stream implementations of everything (since
the buffered stream overrides are already getting tested in the
buffered-input-stream and buffered-output-stream tests anyway).
Add a skip_async() test to unix-streams. (This one would crash without
the bugfix in the previous commit.)
skip_callback_wrapper expect the user_data (callback_data)
to be the task holding the task_data, not the task_data
itself.
Otherwise the task_data is cast as GTask and then task_data
is extracted from this bogus task.

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.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=686853
Allow for NULL GSourceFuncs.check() and .prepare().
For prepare() the source will be taken not to be ready and having an
infinite timeout. For check() the source will be taken not to be ready.

This is the vtable pointer for the source which is usually held in
static storage. For our internal sources it points at a vtable which
the user should really never be modifying.
Mark it const.

This reverts commit f2e00a07f4.
Moving the block up would prevent G_OS_WIN32 being checked correctly as
it is a macro that is defined by including the GLib header(s), at least for
Visual C++ builds.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=691769
Since we are now starting to use __declspec (dllexport) to export the
public functions during the build of the GLib DLLs (i.e. to generate the
.lib files), we don't want to generate the .def files from the .symbols
files as we did before for a long time.
This removes from the projects the custom build steps to generate the
various .def files
This will also update the pre-configured config.h(.win32.in) to define
_GLIB_EXTERN appropriately as __declspec (dllexport), as well as making its
entries reflect config.h.in more closely.
We only want to control the default visibility for our five main
installable libraries: libglib, libgthread, libgmodule, libgobject,
libgio. We should therefore only set -fvisibility=hidden when building
those.
Use a separate substitution variable for this purpose.
Using CFLAGS directly leads to some modules built in testcases not
exporting their symbols (and then the tests fail). It also affects the
fam file monitoring module.
Colin had originally done it this way in his visibility patch series but
I failed to understand why so I didn't copy it. Now I do.
Also: revert changes made to two testcases in an attempt to work around
this issue.
