I'm not sure why gobject.cI was needed but that looks like hack around
old gtkdoc bug. Works fine without it.

71bc8e797b doc: Remove gio.types since gtkdoc-scan rebuild it anyway
meson.build was already passing --rebuild-types option but not
Makefile.am. Copy the IGNORE_HFILES list from meson.build because it was
outdated in Makefile.am and it's causing build issues when using the
generated gio.types file because it would contain win32 types when
building on linux.

156d009696 gdesktopappinfo: add g_desktop_app_info_launch_uris_as_manager_with_fds variant
Add an app-launching function which allows standard file descriptors
to be passed to the child process.

This will be used by gnome-shell to pass systemd journal descriptors
as stdout/stderr. gnome-shell's child_setup function can then be
eliminated, which will enable use of the posix_spawn optimized
gspawn codepath for desktop app launching.

3524de16e4 gspawn: Add g_spawn_async_with_fds variant
Add a new process spawning function variant which allows the caller
to pass specific file descriptors for stdin, stdout and stderr.
It is otherwise identical to g_spawn_async_with_pipes.

Allow the same fd to be passed in multiple parameters. To make this
workable, the child process logic that closes the fd after the first time
it has been dup2'ed needed tweaking; we now just set those fds to be
closed upon exec using the CLOEXEC flag. Add a test for this case.

This will be used by gnome-shell to avoid performing equivalent
dup2 actions in a child_setup function. Dropping use of child_setup will
enable use of an upcoming optimized process spawning codepath.

8916874ee6 codegen: Add --interface-info-[body|header] modes
These generate basic .c and .h files containing the GDBusInterfaceInfo
for a D-Bus introspection XML file, but no other code (no skeletons,
proxies, GObjects, etc.).

This is useful for projects who want to describe their D-Bus interfaces
using introspection XML, but who wish to implement the interfaces
manually (for various reasons, typically because the skeletons generated
by gdbus-codegen are too simplistic and limiting). Previously, these
projects would have had to write the GDBusInterfaceInfo manually, which
is painstaking and error-prone.

The new --interface-info-[body|header] options are very similar to
--[body|header], but mutually exclusive with them.

9e5a53d576 Add reference counting types
We have a common pattern for reference counting in GLib, but we always
implement it with ad hoc code. This is a good chance at trying to
standardise the implementation and make it public, so that other code
using GLib can take advantage of shared behaviour and semantics.

Instead of simply taking an integer variable, we should create type
aliases, to immediately distinguish the reference counting semantics of
the code; we can handle mixing atomic reference counting with a
non-atomic type (and vice versa) by using differently signed values for
the atomic and non-atomic cases.

The gatomicrefcount type is modelled on the Linux kernel refcount_t
type; the grefcount type is added to let single-threaded code bases to
avoid paying the price of atomic memory barriers on reference counting
operations.

3aa23078ac build: Remove the --disable-mem-pools build option and the DISABLE_MEM_POOLS macro
It's mostly not used anymore and doesn't do what it says it does.

The docs state that it affects GList, GSList, GNode, GMemChunks, GSignal,
GType n_preallocs and GBSearchArray while:

* GList, GSList and GNode use GSlice and are not affected
* GMemChunks is gone
* GType npreallocs is ignored

It also states that it can be used to force the usage of g_malloc/g_free,
which is handled by G_SLICE=always-malloc now.

The only places where it's used is in signal handling through GBSearchArray
and in GValueArray (deprecated). Since it's unlikely that anyone wants to
reduce allocation sizes just for those cases remove the build option.

118332dd5c Remove unused ENABLE_GC_FRIENDLY_DEFAULT and its build option
ENABLE_GC_FRIENDLY_DEFAULT was supposed to set the default for the gc friendliness
while still allowing to force enable it at runtime with G_DEBUG=gc-friendly.

With commit 943a18b564 (6 years ago) things were changed to always set it
according to the content of G_DEBUG in glib_init(), making the default unused.

Since nobody complained since then just remove the macro and the build option.

d0821da524 gio: Add g_unix_mount_get_options
GVfsUDisks2VolumeMonitor handles x-gvfs-hide/x-gvfs-show mount options
used to overwrite our heuristics whether the mount should be shown, or
hidden. Unfortunately, it works currently only for mounts with
corresponding fstab entries, because the options are read over
g_unix_mount_point_get_options. Let's introduce g_unix_mount_get_options
to allow reading of the options for all sort of mounts (e.g. created
over pam_mount, or manually mounted).

b9b642de06 fileutils: Add g_canonicalize_filename
Getting the canonical filename is a relatively common
operation when dealing with symbolic links.

This commit exposes GLocalFile's implementation of a
filename canonicalizer function, with a few additions
to make it more useful for consumers of it.

Instead of always assuming g_get_current_dir(), the
exposed function allows passing it as an additional
parameter.

This will be used to fix the GTimeZone code to retrieve
the local timezone from a zoneinfo symlink.

usage and add some additional tests.)

8945227743 gtimezone: Add g_time_zone_get_identifier() accessor
This is a non-trivial accessor which gets the identifier string used to
create the GTimeZone — unless the string passed to g_time_zone_new() was
invalid, in which case the identifier will be `UTC`.

Implementing this required reworking how timezone information was loaded
so that the tz->name is always set at the same time as tz->t_info, so
they are in sync. Previously, the tz->name was unconditionally set to
whatever was passed to g_time_zone_new(), and then not updated if the
tz->t_info was eventually set to the default UTC information.

This includes tests for the new g_time_zone_get_identifier() API, and
for the g_date_time_get_timezone() API added in the previous commit.

The mechanism for using json-glib-format is the same, with a separate

4808a957b5 GFile: Add g_file_peek_path()
This is a variant of g_file_get_path() which returns a const string to
the caller, rather than transferring ownership.

I've been carrying `gs_file_get_path_cached()` in libgsystem and it
has seen a lot of use in the ostree and flatpak codebases.  There are
probably others too.

I think language bindings like Python/Gjs could also use this to avoid
an extra malloc (i.e. we could transparently replace
`g_file_get_path()` with `g_file_peek_path()`.

. g_application_set_option_context_parameter_string
. g_application_set_option_context_summary
. g_application_set_option_context_description
Those methods interact with the GApplication's internal GOptionContext
which is created for command line parsing in g_application_parse_command_line.
(please refer to the GOptionContext class for more information about option
context, parameter string, summary and description.)

To illustrate the 3 methods, an example is provided:
