People do (and should) use g_str_equal() for string comparisons outside
of hash tables, because it’s easier to read than
`strcmp (str1, str2) == 0`. That should not be discouraged.
However, we should still be careful to point out that g_str_equal() is
not NULL-safe, and g_strcmp0() is.

We don’t strictly require this, but given that our CI runs it, we
essentially never test with 0.46.0, so it might as well be broken.

It's been 4 years and 8 development cycles since we introduced
G_ADD_PRIVATE and offset-based private data access. It is now
time to finally deprecate the old mechanism.
Closes: #699
This is to avoid race between dispose() being called on the
GFdoNotificationBackend instance, and any pending operations which are
still waiting on a D-Bus reply when it’s disposed.
(thx to Philip Withnall for pointing that out)

Previously, calling:
g_dbus_is_supported_address ("some-imaginary-transport:", NULL)
correctly returned FALSE; but calling:
g_dbus_is_supported_address ("some-imaginary-transport:", &error)
crashed with:
GLib-GIO:ERROR:../gio/gdbusaddress.c:434:g_dbus_is_supported_address:
assertion failed: (ret || (!ret && (error == NULL || *error != NULL)))
This was because, if the address component did not start with a known
transport, no error was set. Fix this, reusing an error string used by
the corresponding else branch in g_dbus_address_connect(), and adjust
the test to pass both NULL and non-NULL GError **s to this function in
every test case. This case:
g_assert (!g_dbus_is_supported_address ("some-imaginary-transport:foo=bar;unix:path=/this/is/valid", NULL));
would have caught this bug with a non-NULL GError **.
The way things were before: a FreedesktopNotification struct is
allocated before the dbus call, and this same struct is possibly re-used
for other dbus calls. If the server becomes unavailable, the callback
will be invoked after the call times out, which leaves a long time where
other dbus calls can happen, re-using the same FreedesktopNotification
as user data. When the first call times out, the callback is invoked,
and the user data is freed. Subsequent calls that used the same user
data will time out later on, and try to free a pointer that was already
freed, hence segfaults.
This bug can be reproduced in Cinnamon 3.6.7, as mentioned in:
<https://github.com/linuxmint/Cinnamon/issues/7491>
This commit fixes that by always allocating a new
FreedesktopNotification before invoking dbus_call(), ensuring that the
callback always have a valid user data.

A slightly modified patch originally written by Morten Welinder
<terra@gnome.org> to make the error codes returned by g_spawn_*()
functions more specific when on Windows. They are already this specific
on Linux.
Add a unit test for the ENOENT case.

The error number was saved after some g_debug() and g_free() calls, in
various places, which meant it could have been overwritten since the
error we care about happened.

Use a GOnce to make sure we only warn about notifications not being
supported on Windows once, rather than on each attempted notification.

This allows test calls to produce output with \n
line separators on Windows, instead of \r\n.
Reduces the number of ifdefs, since all checks
can be done against one template on all platforms.
Test that the API behaves as expected, especially when we get to
saturation.
Additionally, check that both the function and the macro versions of the
API behave identically.
If we're using GCC we can use __extension__ to inline the grefcount and
gatomicrefcount API, and avoid the function call.
These macros are only enabled if G_DISABLE_CHECKS is defined, as they
remove critical warnings when the reference counters achieve saturation.
We have a common pattern for reference counting in GLib, but we always
implement it with ad hoc code. This is a good chance at trying to
standardise the implementation and make it public, so that other code
using GLib can take advantage of shared behaviour and semantics.
Instead of simply taking an integer variable, we should create type
aliases, to immediately distinguish the reference counting semantics of
the code; we can handle mixing atomic reference counting with a
non-atomic type (and vice versa) by using differently signed values for
the atomic and non-atomic cases.
The gatomicrefcount type is modelled on the Linux kernel refcount_t
type; the grefcount type is added to let single-threaded code bases to
avoid paying the price of atomic memory barriers on reference counting
operations.
On an Android build, API 22, at least, I got a:
> warning: "UNIX_PATH_MAX" redefined
We were currently defining it as:
> #define UNIX_PATH_MAX sizeof (((struct sockaddr_un *) 0)->sun_path)
Whereas Android's headers define this variable of sockaddr_un as:
> char sun_path[UNIX_PATH_MAX];
So by definition, we will still get the right result in the end by just
using the original value of UNIX_PATH_MAX.
C_IN macro was added years ago in bcbaf1bef0, using same value as the
internal code of Android with the reasonning that "some parts of the API
used by the resolver objects is not public in the Android NDK (yet)".
Well since then things are changed, since it is definitely available (at
least on the API 22 of Android which I am using) in the public header
arpa/nameser_compat.h.
Let's just add a #ifndef to handle both cases when you build with an
older or recent API.
Let people know that Visual Studio 2015 and later provide a /utf-8
option to eliminate the need to set the System's non-Unicode locale and
the subsequent reboot.
Also let people know that it is recommended to have GIT for Windows
installed so that some dependencies' sources can be downloaded and built
along with GLib et al when needed.
Please see MR !65 for a discussion on the reasoning why GIT for Windows
is recommended.
Meson has the ability to classify tests according to "suites", a list of
tags. This is especially useful when we want to run specific sets of
tests — e.g. only GLib's tests — instead of the whole test suite. It
also allows us to classify special tests, like "slow" ones, so that we
can only run them when needed.
FIONREAD ioctl on Linux reports the size of payload on UDP sockets.
However, other systems usually add internal header size to the reported
size, which vary between different operating systems and socket types.
To make it work on more systems, we should follow what we do on Windows
instead of using this unreliable FIONREAD ioctl.
This fixes socket test on FreeBSD.
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.
