Perform a substantial cleanup of the build system with respect to
building and installing testcases.
First, Makefile.decl has been renamed glib.mk and substantially
expanded. We intend to add more stuff here in the future, like canned
rules for mkenums, marshallers, resources, etc.
By default, tests are no longer compiled as part of 'make'. They will
be built when 'make check' is run. The old behaviour can be obtained
with --enable-always-build-tests.
--disable-modular-tests is gone (because tests are no longer built by
default). There is no longer any way to cause 'make check' to be a
no-op, but that's not very useful anyway.
A new glibtests.m4 file is introduced. Along with glib.mk, this
provides for consistent handling of --enable-installed-tests and
--enable-always-build-tests (mentioned above).
Port our various test-installing Makefiles to the new framework.
This patch substantially improves the situation in the toplevel tests/
directory. Things are now somewhat under control there. There were
some tests being built that weren't even being run and we run those now.
The long-running GObject performance tests in this directory have been
removed from 'make check' because they take too long.
As an experiment, 'make check' now runs the testcases on win32 builds,
by default. We can't run them under gtester (since it uses a pipe to
communicate with the subprocess) so just toss them in TESTS. Most of
them are passing on win32.
Things are not quite done here, but this patch is already a substantial
improvement. More to come.
Some (broken) toolchains for example trip up
-Werror=missing-prototypes in system headers. This patch allows
people to skip the formerly hardcoded "baseline" warnings.

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).
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.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=691756
With visibility now under the control of __declspec(dllexport) we no
longer need to build .def files or use them for building our various
.dll files.
.def files used to be installed (even though it is only really useful
when creating the .dll or .lib file). Don't do that anymore either.
The Makefiles still contain rules to create a .lib file for use with
Visual Studio and these rules require .def files. There are special
requirements to using these rules (like having installed and setup
Microsoft tools for use during the build) and therefore the problem of
creating a .def file for use with them is left open to anyone willing to
make the effort. Many options are available depending on which
toolchain is in use (dlltool, pexport, gendef, dumpbin.exe, just to name
a few).
If we can find a free tool for creating .lib files in the future, we
should probably revisit this issue and add proper support back to our
build system.
The gobject tools (glib-genmarshal and gobject-query) were linking
against libgthread. Stop that.
Also, remove the gthread_INCLUDES internal automake substitution.
Commit f084b60377 incorrectly set
DIST_SUBDIRS for the toplevel Makefile.am. In general actually we
don't need to set it, because modern automake automatically sets
it by looking at conditionals for SUBDIRS.

This patch solves two problems:
First, it allows builders to optionally cut the circular dependency
between dbus and glib by disabling the modular tests (just like how
the tests can be disabled in dbus).
Second, the tests are entirely pointless to build if cross-compiling.
It also moves us slightly closer to the long term future we want where
the tests are a separate ./configure invocation and run against the
INSTALLED glib, not the one in the source tree. This would allow us to
run the tests constantly, not just when glib is built.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=667806
When building with MinGW/MSYS with srcdir != builddir the build fails:
- to locate the generated .def files
- creating libglib-gdb.py
- creating libgobject-gdb.py
Solved this by explicitly instructing these files to be generated
in $(builddir)/...
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=653167
This was used as an optimisation for the macro hackery that used to live
in gthread.h. If a particular library or program knew that it could
rely on thread support being enabled, it would allow for static
evaluation of conditionals in some of those macros.
Since the macros are dead and thread support is now always-on, we can
get rid of this bit of legacy.
G_THREADS_ENABLED still exists, but is always defined. It is still
possible to use libglib without threads, but gobject (and everything
above it) is now guaranteed to be using threads (as, in fact, it was
before, since it was accidentally impossible to compile with
--disable-threads).

The -e parameter to echo isn't recognized by echo in POSIX sh,
but isn't needed when no escaped characters need to be
interpreted.
This fixes building glib with a mingw cross compiler on Mac OS X.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=654085
To help cross compilation, don't use glib-genmarshal in our
build. This is easy now that we have g_cclosure_marshal_generic().
In gobject/, add gmarshal.[ch] to git (making the existing entry
points stubs).
In gio/, simply switch to using g_cclosure_marshal_generic().
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=652168
Rather than having the gtk-doc build machinery have a list of header
files to exclude, change the GLib build to dump a list of public
header files generated from the maintained Makefile.am files for
each of glib/, gobject/, gio/.
Also, for glib, always install glib-unix.h, even on non-Unix
platforms, for the same reason we install gwin32.h even on Unix.

These are the updates to the autotools files to
ensure the expansion of the GIO, GLib and GObject
project files (*.vcxproj, *.vcxproj.filters) and to
enable the distribution of the VS2010 project files
The actual VS2010 project files will follow shortly
This is a minimal patch-out of the galias functionality. We will do a
release like this so that we can easily back it out if there are
reported problems.
A more substantial cleanup (mostly removing #includes from every file)
will follow if there are no issues.
GBinding is a simple, opaque object that represents a binding between a
property on a GObject instance (source) and property on another GObject
instance (target).
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=348080
This adds static markers and systemtap tapsets for:
* type creation
* object lifetimes (creation, ref, unref, dispose, finalize)
* signal creation and emission
Signal emissions and finalization marker have a corresponding
*_end (or *-end in dtrace) version that is when the corresponding
operation is finished.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=606044
Don't keep the lists of source files for libglib, libgobject and
libgio in the VS project files in addition to the canonical location,
the corresponding Makefile.am files.
Instead, generate the corresponding .vcproj files at make dist time
using the C preprocessor, from template files called .vcprojin. We
still list explicitly in the .vcprojin files some of the
Windows-specific source files, and the sources files of gnulib and
pcre.
This way we don't need to keep a custom array that we bsearch on (and
that isn't threadsafe) but can use the gtype.c machinery that is
threadsafe. And fast, too!
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=554887
If threads are available we always enable threads in gobject, which
means all gio/gobject code can enable the unconditional thread calls.
This is a minor optimization since we avoid a bunch of unnecessary
is-threads-enabled checks.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=606775
This adds supports for a lock-less a non-shrinking growable array.
You can use it to do reads using no locks, as long as your read-code
can handle that during the read transaction the object can be modified
by another writer (but it will not change size or be freed), and you
can only trust the result once the transaction has finished successfully.
This doesn't free things like RCU normally does, instead it pushes the
memory on a free list that is reused for other atomic arrays.
