As noticed by Christian Hergert: We can reduce
some overhead by checking for exact type
equality first. According to Christian, around
3% of g_type_is_a calls are exact equalities.
Using prefixed property names like GtkWidget::visible
is very deprectated and basically never done. So avoid
paying the strchr cost before doing the first lookup.
Most of the time, we are dealing with static strings,
and we can compare them directly and avoid the strcmp.
Note that triggering this optimization requires
properties to be marked as G_PARAM_STATIC_NAME.
Drop the redundant `PROP_0` (which isn’t a real property) and initialise
the first member of the enum instead.
Add a typedef so that the enum type can be used in `switch` statements
in `get_property()` and `set_property()` vfuncs. This allows
`-Wswitch-enum` to be used to improve type safety.
The examples here don’t have `get_property()` or `set_property()`
vfuncs, but people might copy/paste the code to somewhere which does.

Meson generates a gdbinit file that will automatically load glib and
gobject scripts. However that script uses a helper python module that
needs PYTHONPATH to be pointing into the right location in the source
tree to be able to find glib_gdb.py and gobject_gdb.py
This won’t really affect anything, but we might as well fix them to not
crash if called with an empty `argv` by someone (ab)using `execve()`.

Much like GBindingGroup, the GSignalGroup object allows you to connect many
signal connections for an object and connect/disconnect/block/unblock them
as a group.
This is useful when using many connections on an object to ensure that they
are properly removed when changing state or disposing a third-party
object.
This has been used for years in various GNOME projects and makes sense to
have upstream instead of multiple copies.
Originally, GBindingGroup started with Builder as a way to simplify all
of the third-degree object bindings necessary around Model-Controller
objects such as TextBuffer/TextView.
Over time, it has grown to be useful in a number of scenarios outside
of Builder and has been copied into a number of projects such as GNOME
Text Editor, GtkSourceView, libdazzle, and more.
It makes sense at this point to unify on a single implementation and
include that upstream in GObject directly alongside GBinding.
Glib cannot be built statically on Windows because glib, gobject and gio
modules need to perform specific initialization when DLL are loaded and
cleanup when unloaded. Those initializations and cleanups are performed
using the DllMain function which is not called with static builds.
Issue is known for a while and solutions were already proposed but never
merged (see: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/glib/-/issues/692). Last
patch is from version 2.36.x and since then the
"constructor/destructor" mechanism has been implemented and used in
other part of the system.
This patch takes back the old idea and updates it to the last version of
glib to allow static compilation on Windows.
WARNING: because DllMain doesn't exist anymore in static compilation
mode, there is no easy way of knowing when a Windows thread finishes.
This patch implements a workaround for glib threads created by calling
g_thread_new(), so all glib threads created through glib API will behave
exactly the same way in static and dynamic compilation modes.
Unfortunately, Windows threads created by using CreateThread() or
_beginthread/ex() will not work with glib TLS functions. If users need
absolutely to use a thread NOT created with glib API under Windows and
in static compilation mode, they should not use glib functions within
their thread or they may encounter memory leaks when the thread finishes.
This should not be an issue as users should use exclusively the glib API
to manipulate threads in order to be cross-platform compatible and this
would be very unlikely and cumbersome that they may mix up Windows native
threads API with glib one.
Closes#692
Notifying during object destruction is a dubious "feature": objects
might end up recreating a bunch of state just before clearing it;
language bindings might get spurious notifications during garbage
collection runs.
We freeze the notification queue before running the dispose() chain; if
the object was temporarily vivified during dispose, we thaw the
notification queue, otherwise we let the instance clear it when we
finalize it.
See: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gjs/-/issues/445
We now guarantee that GObjects will always be allocated at least as
aligned as the basic types. If you want to put an element in your
GObject which has higher alignment requirements, we can’t guarantee it
will be aligned*. If you need it to be aligned, you’ll need to put it on
the heap (aligned appropriately), or add appropriate padding in your
GObject struct.
*Actually, GSlice will guarantee that the whole GObject is aligned to at
least the power of 2 greater than or equal to the size of the GObject,
which means any element in the GObject struct should always be
appropriate aligned if the compiler pads it appropriately. If malloc()
is used, however, it doesn’t make that guarantee, so we can’t make that
guarantee overall.

Regardless of the actual alignment of the GTypeInstance in question,
these do a runtime check on the type, so if the type was originally
aligned correctly when allocated, it should be aligned correctly if the
type check succeeds. -Wcast-align is meant to warn about casts between
types, which this isn’t (if the check succeeds).

See the reasoning in the patch for why we believe GObjects *are*
(already) as aligned as the basic types.
We want to make this guarantee so that it’s guaranteed to be safe for
people to ignore -Wcast-align warnings for GObjects which contain basic
types. This typically happens with gdouble on 32-bit ARM platforms.
The checks are slightly complicated by the need to support GObjects with
custom constructors. We should expect that a custom construction
function will chain up to g_object_constructor (which calls
g_type_create_instance() as normal), but it’s possible that someone has
done something crazy and uses a custom allocator which doesn’t return
with the same alignment as GSlice. Hand them a warning in that case. If
that is true, the code which uses their custom-constructed GObject can
presumably already deal with the alignment it gets given.

When an object with toggle reference is notifying a change we just
assume that this is true because of previous checks.
However, while locking, another thread may have removed the toggle
reference causing the waiting thread to abort (as no handler is set at
that point).
To avoid this, once we've got the toggle references mutex lock, check
again if the object has toggle reference, and if it's not the case
anymore just ignore the request.
Add a test that triggers this, it's not 100% happening because this is
of course timing related, but this is very close to the truth.

The previous wording was not clear about what happens if a new weak ref
is taken during disposal (shortly after resurrecting the object with a

No need to call memset in the loop, we can just
initialize all the values in one go.
GtkBuilder is now using g_object_setv, so this
may improve application start times a bit.
As per the previous change, an object that had weak locations set may
need to lock again the weak locations mutex during qdata cleanup, but
we can avoid this when we know we're removing the last location, by
removing the qdata entry and freeing the data.
In case a new location is needed for the same object, new data will be
added.
However, by doing this the weak locations during dispose may be
invalidated once the weak locations lock is passed, so check again if
this is the case while removing them.
It can happen that a GWeakRef is added to an object while it's disposing
(or even during finalizing) and this may happen in a thread that (weak)
references an object while the disposal isn't completed yet or when
using toggle references and switching to GWeakRef on notification (as
the API suggests).
In such scenario the weak locations are not cleaned up when the object
is finalized, and will point to a free'd area.
So, during finalization and when we're sure that the object will be
destroyed for sure, check again if there are new weak locations and
unset them if any as part of the qdata destruction.
Do this adding a new utility function so that we can avoid duplicating
code to free the weak locations.
Added various tests simulating this case.
Fixes: #2390
The documentation sort of already said this, but it’s better to make it
explicit.
This avoids the situation where some of the weak notify callbacks for an
object have been called, and then a subsequent one resurrects the
object. Without some way of undoing the weak notifications already sent,
that would leave external state which is coupled to the object’s
lifecycle out of sync.
This arose from discussion on !2064.

GTK currently checks if a GtkWidget is finalized while still using a
floating reference—i.e. a widget was disposed without any parent
container owning it.
This warning can be useful to identify and trace ownership transfer
issues in libraries using initially unowned floating object types.
To avoid introducing constraints ex post, we can gate this check behind
both the G_ENABLE_DEBUG compile time flag for GLib, and behind the
G_ENABLE_DIAGNOSTIC environment variable run time check.

When rendering the contents of the GLib documentation stored inside the
introspection data, a common behaviour is to take the first paragraph as
a summary of the symbol being documented.
The documentation is assumed to be in Markdown format, which means:
- paragraphs must be separated by newlines
- lines that have an indentation of four or more spaces are considered
code blocks
- lines that start with a `#` are considered titles
This means we need to slightly tweak the documentation in our sources to
ensure that it can be rendered appropriately by tools that are not
gtk-doc.

We want to have the ability to mark types that should not be derivable
even if they are in a deeply derivable type hierarchy; in other words,

reason.

It is cleaner to define glib_typeof() in a header included after
gversionmacros.h so we can use GLIB_VERSION_MIN_REQUIRED directly
instead of doing it everywhere glib_typeof() is used.
Include the base URI in the `g_test_bug()` calls instead. This resolves
inconsistencies between the old bug base (bugzilla.gnome.org) and the
new bug base (gitlab.gnome.org). It also has the advantage that the URI
passed to `g_test_bug()` is now clickable in the code editor, rather
than being split across two locations.

the include out to the places where `glib_typeof` is called, we can make
it covered by this macro too, and save a few consumers from FTBFSing.
That also means that, if you don't want to fix your use of the headers,
and as long as this version is sufficient for you, a quick workaround is
to define `GLIB_VERSION_MIN_REQUIRED` to `GLIB_VERSION_2_66` or lower.

We have a "good" implementation of g_clear_signal_handler() in
form of a macro. Use it, and don't duplicate the code.
Also add a comment to the documentation that "instance" in fact must
not point to a valid GObject instance -- if the handler ID is unset.
Also reword the documentation about the reasoning for why a macro
version exists. The reason is not to use the function "without
pointer cast". I don't think the non-macro version requires any
pointer cast, since "instance" is a void pointer. Was this referring
to the handler_id_ptr? That doesn't seem right either, because the
caller should always provide a "gulong *" pointer and nothing else.
Preferably macros behave function-like to minimize surprises. That
means for example that they evaluate all arguments exactly once.
Rework g_clear_signal_handler() to assign the macro parameters
to auto variables so they are accessed exactly once.
Also, drop the static assert for the size of (*handler_id_ptr).
As we now assign to a "gulong *" pointer, the compiler already
checks the types. In fact, the check is now stricter than before.
Previously it would have allowed a pointer to a "signed long".
This is a change in behavior of the macro and the stricter compile
check could cause a build failure with broken code.
Also, clear the handler id first, before calling
g_signal_handler_disconnect(). Disconnecting a signal invokes the
destroy notify, which can have side effects. It just feels cleaner
to first reset the *_handler_id_ptr, before those side effects
can happen. Of course, in practice it makes little difference.
g_signal_new_valist() is called by g_signal_new(), which is probably
the most common way to create a signal.
Also, in almost all cases is the number of signal parameters small.
Let's optimize for that by using a stack allocated buffer if we have
few parameters.
That changes the return type of functions like g_object_ref() that can
break C++ applications like Webkit. Note that it is not an ABI break.
It must thus be opt-in the same way we did when adding this to
g_object_ref() for GNU C compilers in the first place. Unfortunately it
cannot be done directly in gmacros.h because GLIB_VERSION_2_68 is not
defined there, and gversionmacros.h cannot be included there because
there is some strict ordering in which those headers must be included.
This means that applications that does not define
GLIB_VERSION_MIN_REQUIRED will still get an API break, so we encourage
them to declare their minimum requirement to avoir such issues in the
future too.
This change was previously implemented in
9ba17d511e but got dropped during the
Python conversion of the Perl script.
See the commit message of this commit as well as
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=782162
for more information.
This patch also adds a new test so we don't loose this feature again.
Also adds a test that checks that the G_SIGNAL_RUN flags are handled
correctly and the class signal handler is called at the right times.

When this is called on the source or target, the weak notify of the
corresponding object is called without the GWeakRef being cleared.
See https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/glib/-/issues/2266 for that issue.
This means that a strong reference to these zombie objects can be
retrieved from the GWeakRefs and the previous assumption that this can't
happen was wrong. Remove the assertion for that accordingly and handle
this case.
Specifically, all signal handlers and weak notifies of the object are
already gone and must not be disconnected/removed a second time, or
otherwise memory corruption would be caused. Instead just set the

references to the binding still existed then the transform function
would stay alive and only the binding itself would be deactivated.
Unbinding can happen from one thread while a property notification is
being handled concurrently in another one.
To solve this, introduce a reference counter for the transform function
that ensures that it always stays valid while in use and protect access
to the one stored inside the binding with the unbind mutex.
It's possible for g_binding_unbind() to be called at the same time as
one (or both) of source and target are being finalized. The resulting
unbinding needs to be protected with a mutex to ensure that it only
happens exactly once.
As the first reference is owned by both weak notifies and the caller of
g_object_bind_property(), additional indirections are needed to ensure that
unreffing the first reference after creation still unbinds the binding
as before. This seems to be a common code pattern and how this was
intended to be used, but is only safe in single-threaded contexts as it
relies on both the source and target object to be still alive.
Add a lot of comments to the code about all these dependencies and a
couple of assertions to ensure they hold valid.
Also document that inconsistent reference ownership handling of
g_binding_unbind() that makes it unfit for automatically generated
language bindings.

The problem occurs because we keep a pointer inside the allocated block,
instead of a pointer to the start of the block. This memory exists for
the lifetime of the application, so let's silence it.
This is probably abuse of VALGRIND_MALLOCLIKE_BLOCK(), which is really
intended for use in memory allocators, but gtype.c already uses it in
two other places, and it's a practical solution. I wrote another larger
fix for this issue that involves keeping an array of extra pointers when
running under valgrind. This is simpler.

Note we cannot use VALGRIND_FREELIKE_BLOCK() in freelist_free() because we
have not actually freed the FreeListNode and need to dereference it in
freelist_alloc() to decide whether to reuse the block. That would result
in a use-after-free warning before we would get a chance to call
VALGRIND_MALLOCLIKE_BLOCK() in the reuse path.
Also note that this free list only ever grows: it never shrinks for the

The previous code consumed a larger additional amount of stack space.
That is because it would allocate the temporary buffer for GValues on
the stack with "g_newa (GValue, 1)" and thus the required stack
space grew with the number of arguments. Granted, this is already
a variadic C function, so the caller already placed that many elements
on the stack. For example, on the stack there are the property names
and the pointers to the arguments, which should amount to roughly
O(n_args * 16) (on 64 bit, with pointers being 8 bytes large).
That is not bad, because it means in the previous version the stack space
would grow linear with the already used stack space. However, a GValue is
an additional 24 bytes (on 64 bit), which probably more than doubles the
required stack space. Let's avoid that, by allocating the temporary list
on the heap after a certain threshold. This probably more than doubles the
number of possible arguments before the stack overflows.
Also, previously the heap allocated "params" array only grew one element
per iteration. Of course, it is likely that libc anyway reallocates
the buffers by growing the space exponentially. So realloc(ptr, 1)
probably does not O() scale worse than doubling the buffer sizes ourselves.
However, it seems clearer to keep track of the allocated sizes ourself, and
only call realloc() when we determine that we are out of space.
Especially because we need to update the value pointers on reallocation.
Note that we now require a heap allocation both for the "params" and the
"values" list. Theoretically that could be combined by using one buffer
for both. But that would make the code more complicated.
Now we pre-allocate buffers for 16 elements on the stack. That
is (16 * (16 + 24) bytes (or 640 bytes) on the stack. I think that
is still acceptable.
Two out of three callers pass the count argument from a variable
of type guint. And the third is currently an always positive gint.
We should use the correct integer type that matches the type as it
used otherwise.

Add a test for a signal returning interface types, using
the generic marshaller. This will hopefully exercise newly
added code in value_from_ffi_type().
This tests the new functionality that
g_type_interface_instantiable_prerequisite
was added for.
Before the changes, this fails with
GObject-WARNING **: Unable to convert a value of type \
GObject to a value of type Foo
We do the same test with g_object_bind_property_with_closures
as well, to exercise g_cclosure_marshal_generic.
Use the new g_type_interface_instantiable_prerequisite() to check
compatibility for transform functions.
In particular, this allows interfaces (in my case GDK_TYPE_PAINTABLE) to
be transformed to/from any GObject type (in my case G_TYPE_OBJECT) using
the transform function registered to transform between any 2 objects
(g_value_object_transform_value() does a type check and uses NULL if the
types don't match).
And this in turn allows be to g_object_bind_property() a gobject-typed
generic property (GtkListItem::item) to a GtkImage::paintable.
Tests for the new functionality are included.
Use the newly added g_type_interface_instantiable_prerequisite() to
allow closure return values being interfaces by looking up the
instantiable type for the interface and using its GValue accessors.
This function returns the most specific instantiatable type
that is a prerequisite for a given interface.
This type is necessary in particular when dealing with GValues
because a GValue contains an instance of a type.
This commit includes tests for the new API.
Rather than using a mixture of ‘instantiable’ and ‘instantiatable’
everywhere, standardise on the term which is already in the public API.

g_has_typeof macro is wrongly in the public g_ namespace, internaly

Unfortunately, that commit neglected to remove handlers from

This commit addresses that bug by changing the closure invalidate
handler associated with the signal connection to properly remove the

Some editors automatically remove trailing blank lines, or
automatically add a trailing newline to avoid having a trailing
non-blank line that is not terminated by a newline. To avoid unrelated
whitespace changes when users of such editors contribute to GLib,
let's pre-emptively normalize all files.

The various `g_strdup_printf()` returns values in the implementations of GValue
lcopy_func are runtime checks which could be disabled if one wants and therefore
should be handled as such with g_return_val_if_fail()
The property strings are interned already, so this potentially allows for faster
comparisons. The property strings were already not copied, as they were tagged
as static.
This adds support to be able to explicitely stored interned strings into
G_TYPE_STRING GValue.
This is useful for cases where the user:
* *knows* the string to be stored in the GValue is canonical
* Wants to know whther the string stored is canonical
This allows:
* zero-cost GValue copy (the content is guaranteed to be unique and exist
throughout the process life)
* zero-cost string equality checks (if both string GValue are interned, you just
need to check the pointers for equality or not, instead of doing a strcmp).

The glib-mkenums program allows generating code to handle enums/flags
with very different purposes. One of its purposes could be generating
per-enum/flag methods to be exposed in a library API, and while doing
that, it would be nice to have a way to specify in which API version
the enum/flag was introduced, so that the same version could be shown
in the generated API methods.
E.g. From the following code:
/**
* QmiWmsMessageProtocol:
* @QMI_WMS_MESSAGE_PROTOCOL_CDMA: CDMA.
* @QMI_WMS_MESSAGE_PROTOCOL_WCDMA: WCDMA.
*
* Type of message protocol.
*
* Since: 1.0
*/
typedef enum { /*< since=1.0 >*/
QMI_WMS_MESSAGE_PROTOCOL_CDMA = 0x00,
QMI_WMS_MESSAGE_PROTOCOL_WCDMA = 0x01
} QmiWmsMessageProtocol;
The template would allow us to generate a method documented like this,
including the Since tag with the value given in the mkenums 'since' tag.
/**
* qmi_wms_message_protocol_get_string:
* @val: a QmiWmsMessageProtocol.
*
* Gets the nickname string for the #QmiWmsMessageProtocol specified at @val.

Meson 0.54.0 added a new method meson.override_dependency() that must be
used to ensure dependency consistency. This patch ensures a project that
depends on glib will never link to a mix of system and subproject
libraries. It would happen in such cases:
The system has glib 2.40 installed, and a project does:
dependency('glib-2.0', version: '>=2.60',
fallback: ['glib', 'glib_dep'])
dependency('gobject-2.0')
The first call will configure glib subproject because the system libglib
is too old, but the 2nd call will return system libgobject.
By overriding 'gobject-2.0' dependency while configuring glib subproject
during the first call, meson knows that on the 2nd call it must return
the subproject dependency instead of system dependency.
This also has the nice side effect that with Meson >0.54.0 an
application depending on glib can declare the fallback without knowing
the dependency variable name: dependency('glib-2.0', fallback: 'glib').
The __declspec(dllexport) attribute in itself doesn't imply
'extern' - thus any intended variable declaration with
GLIB_VAR/GOBJECT_VAR would actually be a variable definition. With
C compilers defaulting to -fcommon, this isn't an issue, but
upcoming compilers (GCC 10 and Clang 11) will default to -fno-common,
ending up with duplicate definitions of these variables.
Rename the variables involved so that people get a slightly more
obvious critical warning when they try to ref an object which has
already been finalised.

This was due to the `(GObject **)` cast.
Pass the pointer through a union to squash this warning. We already do
some size and type checks of the dereferenced type, which should catch
casual errors. The `g_object_ref()` and `g_object_unref()` calls which
subsequently happen inside the `g_set_object()` function also do some

Rather than adding a canonicalised and non-canonicalised version of the

lookups always use the canonicalised key (since the previous commit).
This saves space in `g_signal_key_bsa`, which should speed up lookups;
and it saves significant space in the global `GQuark` table (a 9.6%
reduction in entries in that table, by a rough test using
gnome-software).

we are for property name validation, as GTK installs a

Previously, we’d look up the signal name as passed to (for example)

In preparation for only inserting signals into `g_signal_key_bsa` once,
we now try looking up a signal with the given signal name and, if that
fails, try canonicalising the name and trying again.
This is a performance hit on lookups for non-canonical names, but
shouldn’t affect the performance of lookups for canonical names. If
people want performance, they should use canonical names.

This will eliminate additional checks and an unnecessary reset.
If we're cross-compiling, the installed-tests are useful even if we
can't run them on the build machine: we can copy them to the host
machine (possibly via a distro package like Debian's libglib2.0-tests)
and run them there.
While I'm changing the build-tests condition anyway, deduplicate it.

The previous documentation said this:
g_type_add_interface_static:
"Adds the static interface_type to instantiable_type"
g_type_add_interface_dynamic:
"Adds the dynamic interface_type to instantiable_type"
The above suggests that if one is adding a static interface to a dynamic
object, one should use g_type_add_interface_static because the interface
is static, but the code and usage (with the newly added
G_IMPLEMENTS_INTERFACE_DYNAMIC) imply that this is wrong, and that
what matters is whether the *instanciable_type* is dynamic or not.
Hence this patch moves the "static" and "dynamic" words close to
"instantiable_type".
Closes issue #259
This uses a 32bit hole in the GObject structure on 64bit arches
as a flag field which can be optionally used for some preformance hints.
Currently there is a flag that gets set any time you connect to a signal
on a GObject which is used as early bailout for signal emissions, and using
the flags field instead of a user-data for checking if a GObject is
under construction.
The Python runtime is not amenable to Valgrind, and leak checking is a
lot less relevant in Python compared to C.

We're using the `install` argument for configure_file() all over the
place.
The support for an `install` argument for configure_file() was added in
Meson 0.50, but we haven't bumped the minimum version of Meson we
require, yet; which means we're getting compatibility warnings when
using recent versions of Meson, and undefined behaviour when using older
versions.
The configure_file() object defaults to `install: false`, unless an
install directory is used. This means that all instances of an `install`
argument with an explicit `true` or `false` value can be removed,
whereas all instances of `install` with a value determined from a
configuration option must be turned into an explicit conditional.

The two test scripts actually assumed some *NIX paradigms, so we need
to adapt them so that they can work on Windows as well, the changes are
namely:
-Call the glib-mkenums and glib-genmarshal Python scripts with the
Python interpreter, not just relying on shebang lines, on Windows.
This is because the native Windows console (cmd.exe) does not support
shebang lines, for subprocess.run().
-Use NamedTemporaryFile with delete=False, otherwise Windows cannot find
the temp files we need when running the tests.
-Use universal_newlines=True for subprocess.run() so that we do not need
to worry out line ending differences on different systems.
-Make sure we are not in the temp directories we create, where the tests
are being run, upon cleanup. Windows does not like deleting
directories that we are currently in.
On Windows and possibly other platforms the '%p' printf modifier does
not prefix printed values with '0x', so do not expect the warning
message to contain the '0x' prefix for the handler pointer value.
When building a valist marshaller, we can avoid reffing a GParamSpec

Using the generic marshaller has drawbacks beyond performance. One such
drawback is that it breaks the stack unwinding from the Linux kernel due
to having unsufficient data to walk past ffi_call_unixt64. That means that
performance profiling by application developers looks grouped among
seemingly unrelated code paths.

If we specify a c_marshaller, g_signal_newv() will never assign an

Since out-of-source-tree builds are now used after switching to meson,
we don't need .gitignore files in the source directories to ignore
build artifacts.
This fixes build errors when doing a meson build after an autotools
build, because generated files such as gio/xdp-dbus.c won't show up in
a `git status`, or be removed by a `git clean -f`, and so it won't be
obvious that such files need to be removed for the meson build to
succeed.
Currently, there is no way to prevent tests from building using meson.
When cross-compiling, building the tests isn't necessary.
Instead, only build the tests on the following conditions:
1) If not cross-compiling.
2) If cross-compiling, and there is an exe wrapper.
This reverts commit 80fcb1bc26.
G_DISABLE_DEPRECATED should never be used by anybody, least of all by
GLib. We have deprecation annotations for the compiler, these days, and
they are much better suited than a macro that makes symbols appear and
disappear. The fact that gtk-doc doesn't understand the deprecation
annotations is a limitation of gtk-doc, and it's gtk-doc that ought to be
fixed.
Commit 80fcb1bc broke GStreamer, which disables old API that was
deprecated before the introduction of the deprecation annotations, but
still uses newly deprecated one, and relies on the deprecation
annotations to do their thing. It also broke libsoup, as it uses
GValueArray in its own API.
This is not new; all of its methods have been deprecated for a long
time. Make the deprecation more obvious, however, by marking the whole
section as deprecated.
Note that GArray can’t *quite* do everything that GValueArray could.

The threads used to iterate at least 10000 times before setting the

enough to set seen_thread{1,2} by the fact that the test runs for a high
number of iterations. On some platforms/schedulers, that’s not true,

It's necessary sometimes for installed tests to be able to run with a

can override as necessary when generating `.test` files, to run tests
prefixed with `/usr/bin/env <LIST OF VARIABLES>`.

g_object_bind_property() (transfer none) returns a GBinding with an existing internal
reference which is active as long as the "binding" is. This allows to optionally use
the binding without any memory management, as it will remove itself when it is no longer
needed.
There are currently three ways to remove the "binding" and as a result the reference:
1) Either the source or target dies and we get notified by a weakref callback
2) The user unrefs the binding until it is destroyed (which is semi-legal,
but worked and is used in the test suite)
3) The user calls g_binding_unbind()
In case (3) the problem was that it always calls unref even if the "binding" is already
gone, leading to crashes when called from bindings multiple times.
In #1373 and !197 it was noticed that a function always unrefs which would be a
"transfer full" annotation, but the problem here is that it should only remove the
ref when removing the "binding" and the annotation should stay "transfer none".
As a side effect of this fix it is now also possible to call g_binding_unbind() multiple
times where every call after the first is a no-op.
This also adds explicit tests for case (1) and (3) - only case (3) is affected by this change.
Part of runMkenumsWithHeader() was duplicated in test_reproducible(),

The new python module, added with 0.46, works with Python 2 and 3 and
allows to pass a path for the interpreter to use, if the need arises.
Previously the meson build set PYTHON, used in the shebang line of
the scripts installed by glib, to the full path of the interpreter.
The new meson module doesn't expose that atm, but we should set it to
a executable name anyway, and not a full path.
Several of our tools are installed and are used by other projects to
generate code. However, there is no 'install' when projects use glib
as a subproject.
We need some way for glib to 'provide' these tools so that when some
project uses glib as a subproject, find_program('glib-mkenums') will
transparently return the glib-mkenums we just built.
Starting from Meson 0.46, this can be done with the
`meson.override_find_program()` function.
As a bonus, the Meson GNOME module will also use these
'overriden'/'provided' programs instead of looking for them in PATH.
PEP8 says that:
"Comparisons to singletons like None should always be done with is or
is not, never the equality operators."
glib uses a mix of "== None" and "is None". This patch changes all
cases to the latter.

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.
In master, it is already possible to build GLib using Visual Studio
using Meson[1] for some time, so we should focus on maintaining only the
Meson build files for building GLib with Visual Studio.
[1]: There are caveats when building with Visual Studio 2008, namely
that one needs to use the mt command to embed the manifests that
are generated with the .exe/DLLs, for all builds, and that in the
case where the compilation hangs on Visual Studio 2008 x64, as a
workaround, should stop the build by terminating all cl.exe tasks
and change the compiler optimization flag from /O2 (full speed) to
/O1 (optimize for size), due to compiler optimization issues.
It's mostly not used anymore and doesn't do what it says it does.
The docs state that it affects GList, GSList, GNode, GMemChunks, GSignal,
GType n_preallocs and GBSearchArray while:
* GList, GSList and GNode use GSlice and are not affected
* GMemChunks is gone
* GType npreallocs is ignored
It also states that it can be used to force the usage of g_malloc/g_free,
which is handled by G_SLICE=always-malloc now.
The only places where it's used is in signal handling through GBSearchArray
and in GValueArray (deprecated). Since it's unlikely that anyone wants to
reduce allocation sizes just for those cases remove the build option.

The -fstack-protector-strong used in many distributions by default has a
rather drastic slowdown of the fast path in generated _get_type()
functions using G_DEFINE_* macros. The amount can vary by architecture,
GCC version, and compiler flags.
To work around this, and ensure a higher probability that our fast-path
will match what we had previously, we need to break out the slow-path
(registering the type) into a secondary function that is not a candidate
for inlining.
This ensures that the common case (type registered, return the GType id)
is the hot path and handled in the prologue of the generated assembly even
when -fstack-protector-strong is enabled.

This was causing g_param_value_defaults to return 1
for GVariant values even when the value is clearly
different from the default.
This was showing up as gtk-builder-tool stripping
non-default values for GtkActionable::action-target
from ui files.
It was previously a copy–paste of G_VALUE_COLLECT, which is wrong,
because it’s the inverse function of G_VALUE_COLLECT. Document that, so
the whole thing is a little less confusing (but by no means perfect).

The *_init() functions have prototypes incompatible with *InitFunc types they
are being cast to. This upsets GCC 8's -Wcast-function-type that's enabled by
default with -Wextra.
Let's not have the public header files emit a warning and neutralize it by
doing a void(*)(void) cast first.

It's not possible to subclass GValue, and by always explicitly casting
here it is easy to write broken code (e.g. passing a GValue**) without
the compiler warning about that.
By not casting, the compiler will error out if anything but a GValue* is
passed here.

gtk-doc doesn’t support them any more since it was ported to Markdown,

Properly define GLIB/GOBJECT_STATIC_COMPILATION when static build is enabled.
Use library() instead of shared_library() to allow selecting static builds.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=784995
This makes easier to write a module that can be both dynamic and static.
It will allow to statically build modules from glib-networking, for
example.
A module can rename its g_io_module_load() function to
g_io_<modulename>_load(), and then an application which links statically
against that module can call g_io_<modulename>_load(NULL) to register
types and extension points from the module. If a module is loaded
dynamically, its load() function will continue to be called with a
non-NULL GIOModule instance.

Weak-pointers are currently lacking g_set_object() & g_clear_object()

Conceptually, these functions clearly ought to be fine for a const
structure. This avoids _G_TYPE_CVH (the implementation of
G_TYPE_CHECK_VALUE_TYPE, G_VALUE_HOLDS, G_VALUE_HOLDS_BOXED etc.)
needing to cast to a mutable GValue, which causes
G_VALUE_HOLDS (cv, type) to issue warnings under gcc -Wcast-qual if
cv is a const GValue *.

The type propagation breaks the GRefPtr.h class in WebKitGTK, and in
any case existing C++ code calling the C API will need to perform an
explicit cast, as there's no automatic promotion of pointer types to

When compiling code that includes gobject.h using GCC with the ISO
standard, the `typeof` keyword is disabled, as it's a GCC extension.
The GCC documentation recommends:
> If you are writing a header file that must work when included in

Currently, g_object_ref() and g_object_ref_sink() return a
gpointer which can mask issues when assigning to fields or
returning from a function.
To help catch these type of programming errors, we can propagate
the type of the parameter through the function call on GCC
using the typeof() C language extension.
This will cause offending code to have a warning, but will
continue to be source and binary compatible.
This is only enabled when GLIB_VERSION_MAX_ALLOWED is 2.56 or greater.

It's theoretically possible that we could have a case where this would
actually return NULL, but it's difficult to imagine a valid program that
would contain such a case.
Add an explicit assert here to quiet up static analysis.
