The `SignalSubscriber` structs contain the callback and `user_data` of each
subscriber to a signal, along with the `guint id` token held by that
subscriber to identify their subscription. There are one or more
`SignalSubscriber` structs for a given signal match rule, which is
represented as a `SignalData` struct.
Previously, the `SignalSubscriber` structs were stored in a `GArray` in
the `SignalData` struct, to reduce the number of allocations needed
when subscribing to a signal.
However, this means that a `SignalSubscriber` struct cannot have a
lifetime which exceeds the `SignalData` which contains it. In order to
fix the race in #978, one thread needs to be able to unsubscribe from a
signal (destroying the `SignalData` struct) while zero or more other
threads are in the process of calling the callbacks from a previous
emission of that signal (using the callback and `user_data` from zero or
more `SignalSubscriber` structs). Multiple threads could be calling
callbacks because callbacks are invoked in the `GMainContext` which
originally made a subscription, and GDBus supports subscribing to a
signal from multiple threads. In that case, the callbacks are dispatched
to multiple threads.
In order to allow the `SignalSubscriber` structs to outlive the
`SignalData` which contained their old match rule, store them in a
`GPtrArray` in the `SignalData` struct, and refcount them individually.
This commit in itself should make no functional changes to how GDBus
works, but will allow following commits to do so.

Helps: #978
On Linux the sched_getattr syscall might be available at compile-time
but not actually work at runtime (e.g. because an older kernel is
running or valgrind is used). Instead of killing the process, return
FALSE and handle this gracefully at runtime with some fallback code.

This adds support for specifying multiple directories in the
GSETTINGS_SCHEMA_DIR environment variable by separating the values
using G_SEARCHPATH_SEPARATOR_S (colon on UNIX-like systems).
While programs could already register multiple custom GSettings schema
directories, it was not possible to achieve the same without writing
custom code, e.g. when using the gsettings command line tool.
Fixes#1998.
The CI should not waste resources in downloading subprojects for each
task. It should also not rely on external hosts to be available.
Windows case will be handled in MR #402 by migrating to docker.
By default (on POSIX) we would be inheriting thread priorities from the
thread that pushed a new task on non-exclusive thread pools and causes a
new thread to be created. This can cause any non-exclusive thread pool
to accidentally contain threads of different priorities, or e.g. threads
with real-time priority.
To prevent this, custom handling for setting the scheduler settings for
Linux and Windows is added and as a fallback for other platforms a new
thread is added that is responsible for spawning threads for
non-exclusive thread pools.

1) When parsing the executable name out of the command line,
see if the executable is rundll32.exe. If that is the case,
use the DLL name from its first argument as the "executable"
(this is used only for matching, and Windows Registry matches
these programs by their DLLs, so this is correct; for running
the application GLib would still use the command line, with
rundll32).
2) If an app runs with rundll32, ensure that rundll32 arguments
can be safely quoted. Otherwise GLib will break them with its
protective quotation.
Currently the code generated by gdbus-codegen uses
G_DBUS_CALL_FLAGS_NONE in its D-Bus calls, which occur for each method
defined by the input XML, and for proxy_set_property functions. This
means that if the daemon which implements the methods checks for
G_DBUS_FLAGS_ALLOW_INTERACTIVE_AUTHORIZATION and only does interactive
authorization if that flag is present, users of the generated code have
no way to cause the daemon to use interactive authorization (e.g. polkit
dialogs).
If we simply changed the generated code to always use
G_DBUS_FLAGS_ALLOW_INTERACTIVE_AUTHORIZATION, its users would have no
way to disallow interactive authorization (except for manually calling
the D-Bus method themselves).
So instead, this commit adds a GDBusCallFlags argument to method call
functions. Since this is an API break which will require changes in
projects using gdbus-codegen code, the change is conditional on the
command line argument --glib-min-version having the value 2.64 or
higher.
The impetus for this change is that I'm changing accountsservice to
properly respect G_DBUS_FLAGS_ALLOW_INTERACTIVE_AUTHORIZATION, and
libaccountsservice uses generated code for D-Bus method calls. So
these changes will allow libaccountsservice to continue allowing
interactive authorization, and avoid breaking any users of it which
expect that. See
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/accountsservice/accountsservice/merge_requests/46
It might make sense to also let GDBusCallFlags be specified for property
set operations, but that is not needed in the case of accountsservice,
and would require significant work and breaking API in multiple places.
Similarly, the generated code currently hard codes -1 as the timeout
value when calling g_dbus_proxy_call*(). Add a timeout_msec argument so
the user of the generated code can specify the timeout as well.
Also, test this new API. In gio/tests/codegen.py we test that the new
arguments are generated if and only of --glib-min-version is used with a
value greater than or equal to 2.64, and in gio/tests/meson.build we
test that the generated code with the new API can be linked against.
The test_unix_fd_list() test also needed modification to continue
working now that we're using gdbus-test-codegen.c with code generated
with --glib-min-version=2.64 in one test.
Finally, update the docs for gdbus-codegen to explain the effect of
using --glib-min-version 2.64, both from this commit and from
"gdbus-codegen: Emit GUnixFDLists if an arg has type `h` w/
min-version".
This means that GLib will generate appropriate deprecation warnings if
`GLIB_VERSION_MAX_ALLOWED` has been set to target a GLib version older
than 2.58.
Notification id (notify_id) is generated by notification daemon and
is valid only while daemon is running. If notification backend will
resend/reuse existing notification id (replace_id) after notification
daemon has been restarted it could replace wrong notification as same
id now can be used by different notification.
The timezone(3) man page on Fedora 31 describes the start/end
field in the POSIX TZ format as follows:
[quote]
The start field specifies when daylight saving time goes
into effect and the end field specifies when the change is
made back to standard time. These fields may have the fol‐
lowing formats:
Jn This specifies the Julian day with n between 1 and
365. Leap days are not counted. In this format,
February 29 can't be represented; February 28 is day
59, and March 1 is always day 60.
n This specifies the zero-based Julian day with n
between 0 and 365. February 29 is counted in leap
years.
Mm.w.d This specifies day d (0 <= d <= 6) of week w (1 <= w
<= 5) of month m (1 <= m <= 12). Week 1 is the
first week in which day d occurs and week 5 is the
last week in which day d occurs. Day 0 is a Sunday.
[/quote]
The GTimeZone code does not correctly parse the 'n' syntax,
treating it as having the range 1-365, the same as the 'Jn'
syntax. This is semantically broken as it makes it impossible
to represent the 366th day, which is the purpose of the 'n'
syntax.
There is a code comment saying this was done because the Linux
semantics are different from zOS and BSD. This is not correct,
as GLibC does indeed use the same 0-365 range as other operating
systems. It is believed that the original author was mislead by
a bug in old versions of the Linux libc timezone(3) man pages
which was fixed in

The implementation has always wrapped at 76 characters, rather than 72,
ever since it was introduced in commit 5cf8f1d4a8 in 2006. At this
stage, it’s probably best to fix the documentation rather than the
implementation.
The likely bug in the implementation is the comparison
```
(++already) >= 19
```
19 × 4 = 76, so it seems like an off-by-one error in the comparison.
What was actually wanted was 18 × 4 = 72.

This should fix our CI, which is currently failing on any system which
requires using the zlib subproject (typically VS systems) as wrapdb is
down. Work around that by pointing our wrap file at the underlying
github hosting instead.
See https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/issues/6446#issuecomment-574241715
This can be reverted when wrapdb is working again.

Previously, the documentation indicated that it was possible to call
g_tls_connection_handshake() after an initial handshake to trigger a
rehandshake, but only if TLS 1.2 or older is in use. However, there is
no documented way to ensure TLS 1.2 gets used. Nowadays, TLS 1.3 is used
by default.
I'm removing support for rehandshaking from glib-networking, as part of
a large refactoring where keeping rehandshakes would have entailed
significant additional complexity. So let's update the documentation to
indicate this is no longer ever supported. Applications should not
notice any difference.
Also, sync some previous handshake and rehandshake changes from
GTlsConnection to GDtlsConnection that were missed by mistake. I
try to remember to always update GDtlsConnection when touching
GTlsConnection documentation, but it's easy to forget.
We used XML to markup when we should have used our own brand of markdown
instead. This fixes the example being unreadable unless we trimmed the
XML away from it.
