Weak-pointers are currently lacking g_set_object() & g_clear_object()
helpers equivalent. New functions (and macros, both are provided) are
convenient in many case, especially for the property's notify-on-set
pattern:
if (g_set_weak_pointer (...))
g_object_notify (...)
Inspired by Christian Hergert's original implementation for
gnome-builder.

The Meson build has fallen a bit behind the Autotools one, when it comes
to the internally built tools like glib-mkenums and glib-genmarshals.
We don't need to generate gmarshal.strings any more, and since the
glib-genmarshal tool is now written in Python it can also be used when
cross-compiling, and without indirection, just like we use glib-mkenums.
We can also coalesce various rules into a simple array iteration, with
minimal changes to glib-mkenums, thus making the build a bit more
resilient and without unnecessary duplication.
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.
It's unnecessary, and only adds visual noise; we have been fairly
inconsistent in the past, but the semi-colon-less version clearly
dominates in the code base.

This will not catch the case where we fail in libffi and always use 0.
In fact, be a real annoying person and use (1 << 31) as a flags value to
test signedness, too.
Also update the testcase to actually use flags everywhere and ot uint.

We don't need to run binaries we just built in order to successfully
build GLib and friends any more.
Since commit b74e2a7, we don't need to run glib-genmarshal when building
GIO; since commit f9eb9eed, all our tests (including the ones that do
need to run binaries we just built) are only built when running "make
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
your toolchain, in order to cross-compile GLib.
We can also use the cross-compilation conditional, and skip those tests
that require a binary we just built in order to build.

This test checks the performance of connecting, disconnecting and
blocking many handlers. Various cases are checked: disconnect in
the same order, in the inverse order, at random. Connect to one
signal on a single object, to two signals on the same object, or
to the same signal on two different objects.

I searched all files that mention g_test_run, and replaced most
g_print() calls. This avoids interfering with TAP. Exceptions:
* gio/tests/network-monitor: a manual mode that is run by
"./network-monitor --watch" is unaffected
* glib/gtester.c: not a test
* glib/gtestutils.c: not a test
* glib/tests/logging.c: specifically exercising g_print()
* glib/tests/markup-parse.c: a manual mode that is run by
"./markup-parse --cdata-as-text" is unaffected
* glib/tests/testing.c: specifically exercising capture of stdout
in subprocesses
* glib/tests/utils.c: captures a subprocess's stdout
* glib/tests/testglib.c: exercises an assertion failure in g_print()

Along the same lines as g_clear_object(), g_set_object() is a
convenience function to update a GObject pointer, handling reference
counting transparently and correctly.
Specifically, it handles the case where a pointer is set to its current
value. If handled naïvely, that could result in the object instance
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);
It also simplifies boilerplate code such as set_property()
implementations, which are otherwise long and boring.
Test cases included.

Although returning NULL from constructor is strongly discouraged, some
old libraries need to keep doing it for ABI-compatibility reasons.
Given this, it's rude to forbid finalization from within
constructor(), since it would otherwise work correctly now anyway (and
the critical when returning NULL should discourage any new uses of
returning NULL from constructor()).

Take this test out of 'make check'. It's causing problems for a lot of people
due to fact that it's essentially a forkbomb. It's causing failures for Debian
on ARM and it's DoSing coredumps to system crash collectors.
The conditional only covers registration of the master, not the
subprocess parts. This is because g_test_slow() always return FALSE in
the subprocesses, so they would fail to run if we didn't register them
unconditionally.
This is the sole piece of code in GLib where we make use of the
stack growing direction. And this test proves that we have been
getting the direction wrong all these years...
If a constructor() implementation created an object but then unreffed
it rather than returning it, that object would get left on the
construction_objects list, which would cause problems later when that
memory location got reused by another object.
"Fix" this by making it fail intentionally, and add a test for it (and
for the normal, working singleton case).

GBindingTransformFunc called its arguments "source_value" and
"target_value", but in the transform_from function of a bidirectional
binding, "source_value" comes from the target object, and
"target_value" comes from the source object, which quickly gets
confusing if you need to use g_binding_get_source(), etc, in the
function.
Of course developers can call their transform function arguments
whatever they want, but many will copy from the headers/docs to start
out, so use less confusing names here ("from_value" and "to_value").
Also, fix the documentation to describe the bidirectional case
correctly.

Convert {glib,gobject,gio}/tests to use the automake TAP driver
and test harness instead of gtester. To do so, we add a glib-tap.mk
that provides the same interface as glib.mk, except for the
reporting and coverage testing functionality. Eventually, we may
want to replace glib.mk with it. I've not yet converted the
toplevel tests/ directory, since it mixes gtestutils tests with
other binaries.

Just like g_object_notify, check for a zero ref_count in
g_object_notify_by_pspec and leave if it is 0.
This allows using functions in ->finalize() that possibly also
notify a property change on the object. Previously,
this resulted in an error from g_object_ref.

Otherwise in e.g. the gnome-ostree integrationtest system, we
end up sending SIGUSR1 to the *entire session*, which triggers
various badness in untested debugging paths from gnome-session.
This test worked when compiled without optimization, but fails with
-O2. Presumably we just happened to find the GMainLoop off the stack
somewhere.
