LoadLibrary() is not available when building for the Universal Windows
Platform, which is used for shipping apps to the Windows Store on all
devices (Windows Desktop, Windows Phone, Surface, XBox, etc).
Apps are not allowed to load arbitrary DLLs from the system. The only
DLLs they can load are those that are bundled with the app as assets.
LoadPackagedLibrary() can be used to access those assets by filename.
The function is meant to be a drop-in replacement for LoadLibrary(),
and the HANDLE returned can be treated the same as before.
This commit changes a comment in _g_dbus_worker_do_read_cb() to be
slightly more useful. At least in my experience debugging an
intermittent unit test failure in another project, this failure
condition occurred because although g_test_dbus_down() ensures that the
session GDBusConnection has exit-on-close set to FALSE before killing
its dbus-daemon, there was still a GDBusConnection on the system bus
which hit this failed read code path, because we had
DBUS_SYSTEM_BUS_ADDRESS set to the address of the #GTestDBus daemon, to
appease libudisks.
Also, make a few other minor improvements to the docs.
The two test scripts actually assumed some *NIX paradigms, so we need
to adapt them so that they can work on Windows as well, the changes are
namely:
-Call the glib-mkenums and glib-genmarshal Python scripts with the
Python interpreter, not just relying on shebang lines, on Windows.
This is because the native Windows console (cmd.exe) does not support
shebang lines, for subprocess.run().
-Use NamedTemporaryFile with delete=False, otherwise Windows cannot find
the temp files we need when running the tests.
-Use universal_newlines=True for subprocess.run() so that we do not need
to worry out line ending differences on different systems.
-Make sure we are not in the temp directories we create, where the tests
are being run, upon cleanup. Windows does not like deleting
directories that we are currently in.
On Windows and possibly other platforms the '%p' printf modifier does
not prefix printed values with '0x', so do not expect the warning
message to contain the '0x' prefix for the handler pointer value.
It is unclear that why the size of the buffer was chosen to be 100
because the commit introduced the code didn't mention the reason.
POSIX defines _POSIX_HOST_NAME_MAX to be 255 and provides a way to
determine the suitable value with sysconf, so we should use it instead
of hard-coding a small value.
On Visual Studio, Meson builds modules as xxxx.dll, not libxxxx.dll when
xxxx is specified as the name for the shared_module() build directive.
This means that in the test programs if we expect for libxxxx for the
module name, the test will fail as there is no libxxxx.dll but there is
xxxx.dll. This makes the test program look for the module files
correctly.
We are still seeing occasional CI failures due to timeouts when heavily
loaded. It’s best to wait a little longer than to throw all the results
out when they’re almost done.
For example, see https://gitlab.gnome.org/tristan957/glib/-/jobs/331330.

The g_creat() call was done in *nix style in regards to the mode parameter,
which the Windows CRT isn't going to understand (nor like, on newer CRTs).
Update the program such that it will pass, by using Windows-style
permission mode parameters for g_creat(), on Windows.
On Windows, everything is assumed as UTF-8 in g_get_filename_charsets(),
so setting G_FILENAME_ENCODING envvar has no effect, so we can just skip
the test on g_get_filename_charsets() where we try to influence it by
setting the G_FILENAME_ENCODING envvar.
This makes use of the string we now have from glib-private.h in the
last commit so that setlocale() sets the default system locale
correctly and therefore show the translated messages properly.
Fixes issue #1169.
On Windows, in particular the CRTs on and after Visual Studio 2012, it
is not enough just to do setlocale (LC_ALL, "") to set the default
system locale, which results in the tools that use the translated
messages to show unreadable messages when running the commmand line
tools.
This adds an entry in glib-private.h.in which denotes the appropriate
string to use for setlocale() to set the default system locale by
setting it to ".ACP" if we are building on Windows and "" for
other systems (as we are doing now).
The tools in gio/ will be updated in the next commit to make use of this
entry so that the translated messages can be shown correctly.
