Commit 6f55306e04 unintendedly broke error handling for other
error conditions than ENOENT along the path, like EPERM. It wanted
to ignore ENOENT on all elements except the last in the path, but
in doing that it ignored any other error that might happen on the
last element.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/glib/issues/1852
Try to create the complete path right away and fall back
to creating all path elements one by one.
This also helps to avoid TOCTTOU problems and avoids walking
the path all the time, providing a nice performance gain, by
avoiding syscalls.
Ignore ENOENT errors up until the last element while trying to create each
of the path elements in case a restricted file-system is being used where
path elements can be hidden or non-accessible.
Put the core readlink() code into a separate
_g_win32_readlink_handle_raw() function that takes a file handle,
can optionally ensure NUL-terminatedness of its output
(for cases where we need a NUL-terminator and do *not* need
to get the exact contents of the symlink as it is stored in FS)
and can either fill a caller-provided buffer *or* allocate
its own buffer, and can also read the reparse tag.
Put the rest of readlink() code into separate
functions that do UTF-16<->UTF-8, strip inconvenient prefix
and open/close the symlink file handle as needed.
Split _g_win32_stat_utf16_no_trailing_slashes() into
two functions - the one that takes a filename and the one
that takes a file descriptor. The part of these functions
that would have been duplicate is now split into the
_g_win32_fill_privatestat() funcion.
Add more comments explaining what each function does.
Only g_win32_readlink_utf8(), which is callable from outside
via private function interface, gets a real doc-comment,
the rest get normal, non-doc comments.
Change all callers to use the new version of the private
g_win32_readlink_utf8() function, which can now NUL-terminate
and allocate on demand - no need to call it in a loop.
Also, the new code should correctly get reparse tag when the
caller does fstat() on a symlink. Do note that this requires
the caller to get a FD for the symlink, not the target. Figuring
out how to do that is up to the caller.
Since symlink info (target path and reparse tag) are now always
read directly, via DeviceIoControl(), we don't need to use
FindFirstFileW() anymore.
This function only calls fsync() if @target exists and is non-empty. If
not, it doesn't provide the "old contents or new contents" guarantee
that one might expect. This has been the case since
d20a188b12, and is justified either as a
performance optimization or by asserting that this function only
guarantees to not destroy existing data (implicitly defining
non-existence or emptiness as not data).
In addition, explicitly spell out that whether it's atomic in the
non-empty case is system-dependent. If the system administrator has
configured some funky filesystem options, they may be out of luck on the
atomicity front.

Getting the canonical filename is a relatively common
operation when dealing with symbolic links.
This commit exposes GLocalFile's implementation of a
filename canonicalizer function, with a few additions
to make it more useful for consumers of it.
Instead of always assuming g_get_current_dir(), the
exposed function allows passing it as an additional
parameter.
This will be used to fix the GTimeZone code to retrieve
the local timezone from a zoneinfo symlink.
(Tweaked by Philip Withnall <withnall@endlessm.com> to drop g_autofree
usage and add some additional tests.)

This commit adds new W32-only functions to gstdio.c,
and a new header file, gstdioprivate.h.
These functions are:
g_win32_stat_utf8()
g_win32_lstat_utf8()
g_win32_fstat()
and they fill a private structure, GWin32PrivateStat,
which has all the fields that normal stat has, as well as some
extras.
These functions are then used throughout glib and gio to get better
data about the system. Specifically:
* Full, 64-bit size, guaranteed (g_stat() is forced to use 32-bit st_size)
* Full, 64-bit file identifier (st_ino is 0 when normal stat() is used, and still is)
* W32 File attributes (which stat() doesn't report); in particular, this allows
symlinks to be correctly identified
* Full, 64-bit time, guaranteed (g_stat() uses 32-bit st_*time on 32-bit Windows)
* Allocated file size (as a W32 replacement for the missing st_blocks)
st_mode remains unchanged (thus, no S_ISLNK), so when these are given back to
glib users (via g_stat(), for example, which is now implemented by calling g_win32_stat_utf8),
this field does not contain anything unexpected.
g_lstat() now calls g_win32_lstat_utf8(), which works on symlinks the way it's supposed to.
Also adds the g_win32_readlink_utf8() function, which behaves like readlink()
(including its inability to return 0-terminated strings and inability to say how large
the output buffer should be; these limitations are purely for compatibility with
existing glib code).
Thus, symlink support should now be much better, although far from being complete.
A new W32-only test in gio/tests/file.c highlights the following features:
* allocated size
* 64-bit time
* unique file IDs

ssize_t is supported widely, but not universally, so use gssize instead.
Currently only one piece of code actually *needs* this change to be compilable
with MSVC, the rest are mostly in *nix parts of the code, but these are changed
too, for symmetry.

Don't refer to g_mkdtemp() when documenting g_mkdtemp_full() and
speaking about the function itself, and remove mention of flags in
aforementioned g_mkdtemp_full(), as it doesn't have such an argument
(but g_mkstemp_full() does).

If we have an input parameter (or return value) we need to use (nullable).
However, if it is an (inout) or (out) parameter, (optional) is sufficient.
It looks like (nullable) could be used for everything according to the
Annotation documentation, but (optional) is more specific.
Adds the filename annotation for all file names
and things which can contain file names like
environment variables, argv-
On Unix they can contain anything while on Windows
they are always utf-8.

Since we are no longer using sgml mode, using /* */ to
escape block comments inside examples does not work anymore.
Switch to using line comments with //
When calculating the array sizes in get_contents_stdio(), there is a
possibility of overflow for very large files. Rearrange the overflow
checks to avoid this.
The code already handled some possibilities of files being too large, so
no new GError has been added to handle this; the existing
G_FILE_ERROR_FAILED is re-used.

In Windows development environments that have it, <unistd.h> is mostly
just a wrapper around several other native headers (in particular,
<io.h>, which contains read(), close(), etc, and <process.h>, which
contains getpid()). But given that some Windows dev environments don't
have <unistd.h>, everything that uses those functions on Windows
already needed to include the correct Windows header as well, and so
there is never any point to including <unistd.h> on Windows.
Also, remove some <unistd.h> includes (and a few others) that were
unnecessary even on unix.

Assume unix platforms support the original POSIX.1 standard.
Specifically, assume that if G_OS_UNIX, then we have chown(),
getcwd(), getgrgid(), getpwuid(), link(), <grp.h>, <pwd.h>,
<sys/types.h>, <sys/uio.h>, <sys/wait.h>, and <unistd.h>.
Additionally, since all versions of Windows that we care about also
have <sys/types.h>, we can remove HAVE_SYS_TYPES_H checks everywhere.
Also remove one include of <sys/times.h>, and the corresponding
configure check, since the include is not currently needed (and may
always have just been a typo for <sys/time.h>).
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=710519
Assume all supported platforms implement C90, and therefore they
(correctly) implement atexit(), memmove(), setlocale(), strerror(),
and vprintf(), and have <float.h> and <limits.h>.
(Also remove the configure check testing that "do ... while (0)" works
correctly; the non-do/while-based version of G_STMT_START and
G_STMT_END was removed years ago, but the check remained. Also, remove
some checks that configure.ac claimed were needed for libcharset, but
aren't actually used.)
Note that removing the g_memmove() function is not an ABI break even
on systems where g_memmove() was previously not a macro, because it
was never marked GLIB_AVAILABLE_IN_ALL or listed in glib.symbols, so
it would have been glib-internal since 2004.

Remove workarounds for NeXTStep (last released in 1995), SunOS (1994),
HP-UX 9.x (1992) and 10.x (1995), OSF/1 / Digital UNIX / Tru64 UNIX
4.x (1999), and AIX 4.x (1999).
HP-UX 11 implements dlopen(), so dropping support for earlier versions
also lets us remove the HP-UX-specific gmodule-dld.
