This fixes a bug in 7c4e6e9fbe.
The original approach in that commit accidentally only checked the depth
at the leaf nodes in the variant tree, whereas actually the depth should
be checked before recursing to avoid stack overflow.
It neglected to consider that `g_variant_serialised_is_normal()` would
be recursed into by some of the `DISPATCH(_is_normal)` cases. When that
happened, the depth check was after the recursion so couldn’t prevent a
stack overflow.
Fixes: #2572
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
According to build system (meson.build file), G_PLATFORM_WIN32 and G_OS_WIN32
are synonym. This commit just unify the usage of this define to prepare
for the static build conditional compilation code.

The gdbus-codegen tool generates documentation from the XML introspection
description of a D-Bus interface. Currently, only DocBook is supported at
the moment, but not every modern documentation generator can handle that
format. The reStructuredText format is a bit more well-supported,
especially in documentation generators for non-C languages.
Unlike DocBook, we get to make our own structure and conventions for how
we structure the documentation when using reStructuredText.
When parsing a comment we're adding <para> elements ourselves, but the
DocBook generator already wraps any block of text that does not start
with a <para> element with one.
xucred does not provide the peer pid id, but this can be fetched
from the socket LOCAL_PEERPID option. Note that we only support
it when creating the credentials from a local socket, if
the credential comes from a message over a socket the peer
pid id will not be set and -1 will be returned when trying
to get the pid for the credential.
There is not a total collation order defined over all Unicode
codepoints, so sometimes `g_utf8_collate()` can’t return a useful
result. Document that.

Fixes: #517
If a seccomp policy is set up incorrectly so that it returns `EPERM` for
`close_range()` rather than `ENOSYS` due to it not being recognised, no
error would previously be reported from GLib, but some file descriptors
wouldn’t be closed, and that would cause a hung zombie process. The
zombie process would be waiting for one half of a socket to be closed.
Fix that by correctly propagating errors from `close_range()` back to the
parent process so they can be reported correctly.
Distributions which aren’t yet carrying the Docker fix to correctly
return `ENOSYS` from unrecognised syscalls may want to temporarily carry
an additional patch to fall back to `safe_fdwalk()` if `close_range()`
fails with `EPERM`. This change will not be accepted upstream as `EPERM`
is not the right error for `close_range()` to be returning.

This function creates a new hash table, but inherits the functions used
for the hash, comparison, and key/value memory management functions from
another hash table.
The primary use case is to implement a behaviour where you maintain a
hash table by regenerating it, letting the values not migrated be freed.
See the following pseudo code:
```
GHashTable *ht;
init(GList *resources) {
ht = g_hash_table_new (g_str_hash, g_str_equal, g_free, g_free);
for (r in resources)
g_hash_table_insert (ht, strdup (resource_get_key (r)), create_value (r));
}
update(GList *resources) {
GHashTable *new_ht = g_hash_table_new_similar (ht);
for (r in resources) {
if (g_hash_table_steal_extended (ht, resource_get_key (r), &key, &value))
g_hash_table_insert (new_ht, key, value);
else
g_hash_table_insert (new_ht, strdup (resource_get_key (r)), create_value (r));
}
g_hash_table_unref (ht);
ht = new_ht;
}
```
