Meson 1.5.1 is available in the fd.o SDK and in Debian testing, so the
glib Meson policy says we can update. Update the minimum only as far as
1.4.0 because we don't yet have a need for 1.5.0.
This allows us to:
- Use file.full_path() to avoid deprecation warnings on str.format(file).
- Set c_std=gnu99,c99 to avoid deprecation warnings with gnu99 on MSVC.
Update all the CI builds to use the latest 1.4.x patch release, 1.4.2.
The FreeBSD runner cannot be updated via `gitlab-ci.yml`, so will be
broken for now.
Similarly, the macOS build will not work unless `-Dc_std=gnu99` is
specified at configure time, due to
https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/issues/13639.
The build instructions for msys2 builds are stored outwith
`.gitlab-ci.yml`.
We need to build a specific (recent) version of gobject-introspection so
we can get support for async annotations in `g-ir-scanner`. See !3746.
Fixes commit 93271385f9.

When using dtrace some temporary files may be leaked as source files and
this may lead to build issues such as
geninfo: ERROR: unable to open
/builds/GNOME/glib/_build/.dtrace-temp.ed1c5ba9.c:
No such file or directory
AFAIK there's no way to keep these temporary files around, so the only
thing we can do is making lcov less strict about missing files.
We can drop the special option from genhtml since it's using the same
lcovrc file
Fedora 37 is out of support so, as per our policy, update the CI image
to the oldest still-supported release, which is 39.
Update the mingw CI image too, as it’s built on top of the Fedora one.
Update the supported platforms documentation (and fix the Debian version
listed there to match what’s currently in CI, which is up to date).

The `gi-docgen` tool is not designed to be used like that. In
particular, when nesting documentation directories, the generated
`*.devhelp2` files (needed by Devhelp to show the documentation) are
nested one directory level too deep for Devhelp to find them, and hence
are useless, and the documentation doesn’t show up in this common
documentation viewer.
So, change the installed documentation directory hierarchy:
* `${PREFIX}/share/doc/glib-2.0/gio` → `${PREFIX}/share/doc/gio-2.0`
* `${PREFIX}/share/doc/glib-2.0/glib-unix` →
`${PREFIX}/share/doc/glib-unix-2.0`
* `${PREFIX}/share/doc/glib-2.0/gobject` →
`${PREFIX}/share/doc/gobject-2.0`
* etc.
* `${PREFIX}/share/doc/glib-2.0/glib` → `${PREFIX}/share/doc/glib-2.0`
This is going to seem like pointless churn (the contents of the
documentation have not changed), and packagers may mourn the split of
content in `/usr/share/doc` from `/usr/share/doc/${package_name}` to
`/usr/share/doc/${pkg_config_id}` instead, but that seems to be the best
approach to fix this issue in GLib. gi-docgen’s behaviour does feel
fairly consistent and correct with the rest of how it works (single
output directory).

Rather than pinning it to the lowest version we support, as is the
standard policy.
This means we’ll end up using version 1.3.2-2, which has just been

Enable the msys2-mingw32 CI job for merges, just like the fedora-x86_64
job is. The pair of them can then build the platform specific GIR and
documentation files.
The `download-reference.sh` script in the `docs-gtk-org` branch of GTK
can then download the docs as an artifact from the latest GLib build of
`main`, and publish them on docs.gtk.org, as is currently done for the

Meson 1.2.0 contains a fix for the underlying issue (in commit

This will make it easier and more obvious for developers to run them
locally: I'm sure I'm not the only developer who had assumed that
`.gitlab-ci/` is private to the CI environment and inappropriate (or
perhaps even destructive) to run on a developer/user system.
The lint checks are automatically skipped (with TAP SKIP syntax) if we
are not in a git checkout, or if git or the lint tool is missing. They
can also be disabled explicitly with `meson test --no-suite=lint`,
which downstream distributions will probably want to do.
By default, most lint checks are reported as an "expected failure"
(with TAP TODO syntax) rather than a hard failure, because they do not
indicate a functional problem with GLib and there is a tendency for
lint tools to introduce additional checks or become more strict over
time. Developers can override this by configuring with `-Dwerror=true`
(which also makes compiler warnings into fatal errors), or by running
the test suite like `LINT_WARNINGS_ARE_ERRORS=1 meson test --suite=lint`.
One exception to this is tests/check-missing-install-tag.py, which is
checking a functionally significant feature of our build system, and
seems like it is unlikely to have false positives: if that one fails,
it is reported as a hard failure.
run-style-check-diff.sh and run-check-todos.sh are not currently given
this treatment, because they require search-common-ancestor.sh, which
uses Gitlab-CI-specific information to find out which commits are in-scope
for checking.

This allows the tests to be run with `meson test --setup thorough` and

Previously, `-Dman=false` was the default, because the generated man
pages were shipped in the distribution tarball already, so the option
actually mostly controlled whether to *re*build them.
The generated pages are no longer shipped in the tarball (and probably
haven’t been since the port to Meson, though I haven’t checked), so it
makes sense to change the default to encourage building the man pages if
the right tooling (`rst2man`) is available.

Alpine 3.19 ships with Meson 1.3.0, which has broken handling of File
objects and their paths. This causes (as far as I can tell)
un-work-around-able breakage of GLib’s build.
See https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/issues/5273#issuecomment-1851811417
That should be fixed in Meson 1.4.0, but that might not be released for
a while. Because we’re here to test GLib, not Meson, let’s pin the Meson
version in the Alpine CI image to 1.2.3, which we know works and is
reasonably up to date (and is what the other CI images use).

The `%E` modifier causes dates to be formatted using an alternative era
representation for years. This doesn’t do anything for most dates, but
in locales such as Thai and Japanese it causes years to be printed using
era names.
In Thai, this means the Thai solar calendar
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thai_solar_calendar). In Japanese, this
means Japanese era names
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_era_name).
The `%E` modifier syntax follows what’s supported in glibc — see
nl_langinfo(3).
Supporting this is quite involved, as it means loading the `ERA`
description from libc and parsing it.
Unit tests are included.

And update all the CI builds to use the latest micro release from that

This version bump means we can:
- Drop some backwards-compatibility Meson checks
- Fix a periodic CI failure caused by a now-fixed Meson bug
(https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/pull/10633)
It’s in line with our [Meson version policy](./docs/meson-version.md),
as Meson 1.2.1 is available in
[Debian Trixie](https://packages.debian.org/source/trixie/meson) and the
[freedesktop SDK](c95902f2ed/elements/components/meson.bst).

The alt-digits are loaded from `nl_langinfo()` in a `GOnce` section,
which means `nl_langinfo()` is not re-queried after the process changes
locale (if that happens).
So, change the `GOnce` to a mutex and store the locale of the alt-digits
alongside them. This will introduce contention when calling
`format_number()` is called, but how often are multiple threads trying
to format dates at the same time?
If this does get highlighted as a performance problem, the other
approach I considered was a `GPrivate` struct containing all the
locale-specific cached data. That comes at the cost of using a
`GPrivate` slot (although that’s only particularly expensive on Windows,
and the locale code is quite different for Windows, so perhaps that
could be avoided entirely). It does mean that all locale printing could
be lock-free and still safely update cached data on a locale change.

This is a departure from our policy of using the minimum required Meson
version, but I think it might be worth a try to see if it fixes the
persistent intermittent build failures on these platforms due to what
looks like build dependency graph issues.
For example:
- https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/glib/-/jobs/2579411
- https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/glib/-/jobs/2578792
- https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/glib/-/jobs/2579220
- https://gitlab.gnome.org/pwithnall/glib/-/jobs/2588507
I was looking at trying to diagnose some of these failures in order to
potentially file bugs against Meson, but the first step is really to
test against the latest version of Meson. So here we are.
Crucially, our other CI jobs continue to use the minimum Meson version
required by GLib, so we continue to test that GLib builds with its
minimum dependencies. I do not plan to change that.
Also crucially, this MR continues to use a specific Meson version,
rather than asking `pip` to install the latest available. Doing that
could lead to unexpected regressions in future, and that’s not what
GLib’s CI is meant to be testing for.
