This code is used in the property notification path, so it
better be fast. This commit removes a g_return_if_fail check and
treats the common case of just a single data element better.
Apply the same optimization that was done for g_unichar_get_script
long ago: Use a quick check for the low end, and then remember the
midpoint of the last bsearch, since we're likely to be called for
characters that are close to each other.
This change made g_unichar_iswide disappear from profiles of the
gtk3-demo listbox example.
Store the (translated, UTF-8-encoded) error strings in a hash table to
avoid doing translation and (possibly) g_locale_to_utf8() in every
g_strerror() call.

Add a check to configure.ac for strerror_r, since we don't currently
require POSIX.1-2001 conformance in general. Add back a
plain-strerror() case as a fallback, and rearrange the glibc-vs-POSIX
strerror_r() branches.
Update the docs to not claim that "not all platforms support the
strerror() function" (we require C90), but still mention the UTF-8 and
always-valid-string benefits. (And make test_strerror() check that
last part.)

Many of the append and prepend variants are just thin wrappers
around another one. Remove parameter checking in the wrapper
for these cases. The wrapped function is checking them anyway.
Unrolling the branches and expressions for all expected cases
of UTF-8 sequences facilitates the work of both an optimizing compiler
and the branch prediction logic in the CPU. This speeds up decoding
noticeably on text composed primarily of longer sequences.

The number of branches and logical operations can be reduced by
never producing a resulting wide character value to check its range.
Instead, individual bytes in the sequence are validated
depending on the branch taken on the basis of preceding bytes.
The syntax given in RFC 3629 is made use of.

Make use of the common autotools module that is used to generate the MSVC
project files from their respective templates so that the main build files
beccome cleaner, and enhance them in a way that the headers that should be
installed can be written to the property sheets during 'make dist', so that
the chances of missing headers for MSVC builds can be greatly reduced.
Also use this autotools module to fill in the projects for
glib-compile-schemas and glib-compile-resources.

Windows does not have strerror_r(), but does have strerror_s(), which is
threadsafe, and does more or less the same thing, so use it on Windows to
fix the build.

In the same way that gtestutils used to let you create multiple suites
with the same name, it also let you create multiple tests with the
same name. Make that an error instead (and fix glib/tests/base64.c,
which was registering three separate tests named
"/base64/incremental/nobreak/4", and glib/tests/autoptr.c, which was
running test_g_variant_builder() twice).

In non-TAP mode, tests that used g_test_skip() were labelled "OK", and
tests that used g_test_incomplete() were labelled "FAIL". Explicitly
show them as "SKIP" and "TODO" instead, like in the TAP case.
Also, incomplete/TODO tests are not supposed to be treated as
failures, so fix that too.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=754286
TAP allows you to print the "test plan" (ie, the expected number of
tests" either at the start or the end of the test program, but if you
put it at the end, and the program crashes, automake will complain
"missing test plan", which is confusing to users (particularly since
it prints that *before* it prints that the test program crashed,
suggesting that somehow the lack of test plan was responsible for the
crash or something, rather than vice versa).
Anyway, change it to count the tests ahead of time, and print the test
plan first. Keeping this simple requires disallowing the '-p', '-s',
and '--GTestSkipCount' options when using '--tap' (although we were
already printing the wrong number in the --GTestSkipCount case
anyway).

Rewrite g_test_suite_run() and g_test_suite_run_internal() to make it
clearer what they do (while still preserving exact backward
compatibility, meaning we need to handle the "-p" case differently
from the non-"-p" case).

It seems to be common for people to use g_warning() or g_error() as pre-
and post-condition error reporting functions, which is not really what
they’re intended for. Similarly, it is generally a sign of bad API
design to use g_warning() to report errors — use GError instead.
Try and suggest this to the user in the hope that nice code results.

It’s very common to see code where a timeout is scheduled using
g_timeout_add(), yet the owning object could be destroyed shortly
afterwards, before the timeout is fired, leading to use-after-free.
Try and prevent this happening with new code by documenting best
practices for memory management of user data for GSource callbacks.

It’s unfortunately common to see worker threads being spawned all over
the place to do operations which could be brought into the main thread
with an async call, simplifying everything.

…and friends. The ‘String precision pitfalls’ section is already linked
to from all the relevant printf()-style functions, so this documentation
should hopefully be easy to find.

The memory vtables no longer work, because glib contructors are called
before main(), so there is no way to set it them before use. This stops using
the vtable at all, and deprecates and stubs out the related functions.
