Problem is that the flags annotation has no value, so

This reduces the build-time dependencies of glib to only Python 3,
Meson, and git. Git is also optional if you provide a tarball in
which the subproject directories already exist.
The Python port was done by Jussi Pakkanen on bugzilla:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=779332
This version contains some fixes from that and also changes all
instances of `@` to `\u0040` because Meson does not yet provide a
configure_file() mode that ignores unknown @MACRO@ values.
This is a stub-only library that can be used while building against
MSVC and contains no i18n machinery at all.
The dependencies added indirectly use the libintl.h header, and when
built as a subproject, the header won't be in a path known the
pre-processor.
Don't use it project-wide for building everything. Otherwise
symbols for shared modules won't be exposed, e.g. in the
resourceplugin used by the gio resource unit test.
Disable gio tests on Windows, fix .gitignore to not ignore
config.h.meson, and add more things to it.
Rename the library file naming and versioning to match what Autotools
outputs, e.g., libglib-2.0.so.0.5000.2 on Linux, libglib-2.0-0.dll and
glib-2.0-0.dll on Windows with MSVC.
Several more tiny fixes, more executables built and installed, install
pkg-config and m4 files, fix building of gobject tests.
Changes to gdbus-codegen to support out-of-tree builds without
environment variables set (which you can't in Meson). We now add the
build directory to the Python module search path.
We're in the process or rewriting other tools in Python to reduce the
number of dependencies of GLib.
Additionally, making glib-genmarshal a Python script reduces the
complexity when cross-compiling, as we don't need a native build to
generate the marshallers.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=784528
It is possible, when using GTK-Doc, to mark sections of an enumeration
type as "private": the values are there, but they are not documented,
and GTK-Doc won't complain about missing symbols:
typedef enum {
/*< private >*/
MY_FOO_PRIVATE,
/*< public >*/
MY_FOO_VALUE_A,
MY_FOO_VALUE_B,
/*< private >*/
MY_FOO_VALUE_C,
MY_FOO_VALUE_D
} MyFooValue;
The glib-mkenums parser also allows skipping enumeration values, using a
slightly different syntax:
typedef enum P
MY_BAR_PRIVATE, /*< skip >*/
MY_BAR_VALUE_A,
MY_BAR_VALUE_B
} MyBarValue;
The annotation must sit on the same line as the enumeration value.
Both GTK-Doc and glib-mkenum use the same trigraph syntax, but slightly
different keys. This makes combining them slightly redundant, but
feasible.
All would be well and good, except that glib-mkenum will generate a
warning for lines it does not understand — and that includes the GTK-Doc
annotation trigraph, which, when confronted with the MyFooValue
enumeration above, will result in a warning like:
glib-mkenums: myfoo.h:2: Failed to parse ` /*< private >*/ '
glib-mkenums: myfoo.h:5: Failed to parse ` /*< public >*/ '
glib-mkenums: myfoo.h:9: Failed to parse ` /*< private >*/ '
Of course, we could make glib-mkenum ignore any trigraph comment on a
stand alone line, but it would probably be better to ensure that both
glib-mkenums and gtk-doc behave consistently with each other, and
especially with the maintainer's intent of hiding some values from the
user, and reserving them for internal use.
So we should ensure that glib-mkenums automatically skips all the
enumeration values after a "private" flag has been set, until it reaches
a "public" stanza.

This is going to be checked again by g_object_new_with_properties()

g_object_newv uses a GParameter as argument. Since GParameter

g_object_new_with_properties is an alternative to g_object_newv.

is a rarely used type and this type is not introspectible, so
it will not work properly in bindings.

It was suggested that the project files be moved here as we don't actually

The macros differ in their handling of NULL values — some macros ignore
them and pass through (e.g. G_TYPE_CHECK_INSTANCE_CAST) while others
will explicitly emit a warning if passed NULL (e.g.
G_TYPE_CHECK_INSTANCE).

glibc string.h declares memcpy() with attribute(nonnull(1,2)), causing
calls with NULL arguments to be treated as undefined behaviour.
This is consistent with ISO C99 and C11, which state that passing 0
to string functions as an array length does not remove the requirement
that the pointer to the array is a valid pointer.
gcc -fsanitize=undefined catches this while running OSTree's test suite.
Similarly, running the GLib test suite reports similar issues for
qsort(), memmove(), memcmp().

If we have an input parameter (or return value) we need to use (nullable).
However, if it is an (inout) or (out) parameter, (optional) is sufficient.
It looks like (nullable) could be used for everything according to the
Annotation documentation, but (optional) is more specific.
gtk-doc doesn’t make the return type clear, because these are macros
rather than inline functions, so people often have to guess at the
return type (or look it up from g_signal_connect_closure(), but that’s
hard work).
Make it clear that the return type for handler IDs is gulong. While
there, fix the capitalisation of ‘id’ to ‘ID’ in a few places.
At some point, upstream SystemTap changed from using a
STAP_HAS_SEMAPHORES preprocessor variable for this, to using
_SDT_HAS_SEMAPHORES instead. We need to update our build system to
disable that as well.
The original discussion about use of semaphores is here:

This was breaking the build with -flto enabled, either because -flto

In a vague attempt at ensuring the .stp scripts can be closely
associated with the .so files which they hard-code references to, rename
the scripts so they include the LT version — so that they are the .so
file name plus .stp.
This does not fix the fact that our .stp scripts will not work on
multiarch systems, as they are installed in an architecture-independent
directory (/usr/share/systemtap/tapset). At the moment, it is
recommended that any distribution who package the .stp files should
install them in the architecture-specific subdirectories of this (for
example, /usr/share/systemtap/tapset/x86-64).
A better long-term solution for this is under discussion upstream:

The ability to pass libtool via $(CC) to dtrace and have it respect this
appears to be a feature that is only present in the systemtap version of
the tool. In particular, FreeBSD (which seems to be using a copy of the
tool from Solaris) doesn't support this.
The result is that, with $(CC) ignored, and a .lo file specified in -o,
we get an ELF written to the .lo.
Instead of trying to have dtrace run libtool we can have libtool run
dtrace. dtrace is really just a compiler that produces an object file
here, and it even understands -o, so libtool can make the appropriate
adjustments.
There appears to be some prior art for this approach. A quick search
shows that at least QEMU is using this approach. It also appears to
work on Linux with systemtap's dtrace and on FreeBSD.
This may regress cross-compilation because the dtrace command will have
no way of knowing which compiler we intend for it to use to produce the
object file. I say "may" because I don't know if dtrace ever worked in
the first place under cross-compilation.

glib installs a gdb helper file named `glib.py`.
Then the "hook" file updates `sys.path` and does `import glib`.
This will fail if glib has already been imported into gdb, say

We don't need to run binaries we just built in order to successfully

check", instead of unconditionally at every build.
This means that we don't need to check for existing, native binaries
when cross-compiling, and fail the configuration step if they are not
found — which also means that you don't need to natively build GLib for

Along the same lines as g_clear_object(), g_set_object() is a

counting transparently and correctly.
Specifically, it handles the case where a pointer is set to its current

being finalised. In the following code, that happens when
(my_obj == new_value) and the object has a single reference:
g_clear_object (&my_obj);
my_obj = g_object_ref (new_value);

Practically no caller of these functions require atomic behaviour,
but the atomics are much slower than normal operations, which makes
it desirable to get rid of them. We have not done this before because
that would be a break of the ABI.
However, I recently looked into this and it seems that even if the
atomics *are* used for g_clear_* it is not ever safe to use this. The
atomics protects two threads that are racing to free a global/shared
object from freeing the object twice. However, any *user* of the global
object have no protection from the object being freed while in use,
because there is no paired operation the reads and refs the object
as an atomic unit (nor can such an operation be implemented using
purely atomic ops).
So, since nothing could safely have used the atomic aspects of these

initialize and set a GValue for an instance
Includes a fast-path for GObject
Overall makes it 6 times faster than the previous combination
of g_value_init + g_value_set_instance
Makes signal emission around 10% faster

These cause a static analyzer to think we're trying to actually handle
them being NULL, which is not the case. They both must not be NULL,
period.
No idea why the code was like this originally.
Reviewed by mclasen on IRC.
GParamSpec has a possibility of user-introduced flags, and we didn't
respect that with the addition of _EXPLICIT_NOTIFY.
Change the documentation for the maximum number of user flags to 10,
just to pick a somewhat random number. The documentation here was never
correct anyway -- it previously claimed that as many as 38 flags were
possible.
Meanwhile, move G_PARAM_EXPLICIT_NOTIFY next to _DEPRECATED in order to
avoid conflicts with low-numbered user flags (which are in use by at
least evolution-data-server).

A year ago, we tried to remove support for adding interfaces on
already-initialised types. There were problems with the C++ and C#
bindings at the time, so we added exceptions to give them a bit more
time to catch up.
It's already one cycle after when these exceptions were planned to be
removed, so let's take them out now.

Leave ourselves a little wiggle room: if people install properties after
initialisation then we reserve the right to handle that in a way that
may not be threadsafe.

g_type_is_fundamentally_a (see bug 730984) is a new API/ABI and is
marked with a version macro. We should therefore avoid its
unconditional use from G_IS_OBJECT() and G_IS_PARAM_SPEC() which are
APIs that have been around for a long time.
This prevents deprecation warnings from being emitted when these
functions are used with an older GLIB_VERSION_MAX_ALLOWED and also
prevents linking to the new ABI in that case (so that it's possible to
use the resulting binary with an older version of GLib).

Add a flag to prevent the automatic emission of the "notify" signal
during g_object_set_property().
If this flag is set then the class must explicitly emit the notify
for themselves. This is already standard practice on most classes, but
we cannot simply remove the existing behaviour because there are surely
many cases where it is needed.
