Split win32 functions off into their own section, instead
of having large and unwieldy ifdef sections inside each function.
Also move the compat versions of env functions over from gutils.c
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_thread_init() is now a deprecated API, so drop G_DISABLE_DEPRECATED
from the CFLAGS for gthread/. Add the missing declaration for
g_thread_init_with_errorcheck_mutexes() back to deprecated/gthread.h.
This function was never put in a header and was only used internally
from libgthread, but we should keep the symbol around to avoid
triggering any false-positives on ABI checkers.
For -Wmissing-prototypes compatibility with this unusual case, we should
add a private prototype in the .c file just before.
This has uncovered two unused testcases in option-context.c. They are
currently broken and require more investigation (which is probably why
they are unused).
These were meant to provide the ability to use GLib directly out of its
build tree but have a couple of rather serious limitations that prevent
their serious use:
- these files only worked with programs built using libtool
- for non-trivial uses, other environment variables will need to be
setup to allow GLib to function properly
- the system doesn't stack well when attempting to use multiple
libraries all uninstalled
The jhbuild --prefix= style system works much better in every way, so we
remove this old hack.
Document the previously uncovered case of calling g_spawn_async_with_pipes()
without a full path but no G_SPAWN_SEARCH_PATH. This runs programs from the
current directory, which might be unexpected and even dangerous in some corner
cases.
