The test only needs a unidirectional channel, and a pipe is sufficient
for that.
This may simplify things when running the test on Hurd; see
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/glib/-/issues/3148#note_1874198.
Additionally, set `O_NONBLOCK` on the pipe since the test seems to
expect that partial writes will succeed and that writes to a full buffer
will fail rather than block.

Various parts of the build (such as `objectmanager-rst-gen`) depend on
running `gdbus-codegen` after it’s been built, but they currently only
encode a dependency to the main codegen Python file and not the
supporting files. This can cause `gdbus-codegen` to fail with an
`ImportError` if the build races so that `objectmanager-rst-gen` is
built before the codegen supporting files.

All the calls to `usage()` are immediately followed by a `return` from
`main()` which sets an appropriate exit status.
Calling `exit()` early means that running `gio --help` returns exit
status 1, which is incorrect — it should (by convention) return 0.

Depending on the operating system, /bin/sh might either be bash (for
example on Fedora or Arch) or dash (for example on Debian or Ubuntu)
or some other POSIX shell.
When bash is asked to run a simple command with no shell keywords or
metacharacters, like this one, it replaces itself with the program
via execve(), but dash does not have that optimization and treats it
like any other program invocation in a larger script: it will fork,
exec the program in the child, and wait for the child in the parent.
This seems like it conflicts with sleep_and_kill() assuming that it can
use the subprocess's process ID as the sleep(1) process ID. Specifically,
if it sends SIGKILL, it will go to the sh(1) process and not the sleep(1)
child, which could result in the sh(1) process being terminated and
its sleep(1) child being leaked.
To get the bash-like behaviour portably, explicitly use the exec builtin
to instruct the shell to replace itself with sleep(1), so that the
process ID previously used for the shell becomes the process ID of the
sleep process.
This appears to resolve an intermittent hang and test timeout on Debian
machines (especially slower ones), although I'm not 100% clear on the
mechanics of how it happens.

On CHERI-enabled systems we use uintptr_t as the underlying storage for
GType and therefore casting to gsize strips the upper bits from a pointer.
Fix this by casting via uintptr_t instead and introduce a new set of
macros to convert between GType and pointers.
It needs to be in a separate page because there isn’t actually a

This might not work, as `GContentType` isn’t actually a defined type

Currently, the introspection data for GLib and its sub-libraries is
generated by gobject-introspection, to avoid the cyclic dependency
between the two projects.
Since gobject-introspection is generally available on installed systems,
we can check for its presence, and generate the introspection data
directly from GLib.
This does introduce a cyclic dependency, which is why it's possible to
build GLib without introspection, then build gobject-introspection, and
finally rebuild GLib.
By having introspection data available during the GLib build, we can do
things like generating documentation; validating newly added API; and
close the loop between adding new API and it becoming available to non-C
consumers of the C ABI (i.e. language bindings).
If `update-desktop-database` or `update-mime-database` are not
installed, there are a few `GAppInfo` methods for modifying file
associations which will print a `g_warning()` when called. Something
like:
```
GLib-GIO-FATAL-WARNING: Failed to execute child process ‘update-desktop-database’ (No such file or directory)
```
(Example: https://gitlab.gnome.org/zamaudio/glib/-/jobs/3190053)
This will cause the appinfo/associations test to fail, as warnings are
fatal.
If that’s going to happen, skip the test. We can’t hard-depend on these
tools as they are external to GLib and only needed for a few operations.
Instead we have a soft runtime dependency on them; that should be
reflected in the tests.

The C standard does not specify whether the underlying type of an enum
is signed or unsigned, and until C23 there was no way to control this
explicitly. GCC appears to make enums unsigned unless there is a
negative value among cases of the enum, in which case it becomes signed.
MSCV appears to make enums signed by default.
A bitfield of an enum type (which is not specificied in the C standard
either) behaves as if it was an instance of a numeric type with a
reduced value range. Specifically, a 'signed int val : 2;' bitfield will
have the possible values of -2, -1, 0, and 1, with the usual wraparound
behavior for the values that don't fit (although this too is
implementation-defined).
This causes the following issue, if we have:
typedef enum
{
G_ZERO,
G_ONE,
G_TWO
} GFoo;
struct _GBar
{
GFoo foo : 2;
};
and then assign bar.foo = G_TWO and read it back, it will have the
expected value of 2 (aka G_TWO) on GCC, but a value of -2 (not matching
any of the enum variants) on MSVC.
There does not seem to be any way to influence signedness of an enum
prior to C23, nor is there a 'unsigned GFoo foo : 2;' syntax. The only
remaining options seems to be never using enums in bitfields, which is
what this change implements.

The Comment field provides a user-visible description of the app,
which usually contains generic words ("and", "or", "not", "is", ...)
that add noise when used for search.
It made some sense to match against the field as a fallback for
Keywords, before that key was well established. However that key
has been around for years now, so hopefully every app where additional
terms are helpful uses it by now.
With that, the downside of added noise outweighs the benefit, so
it's time to stop matching on comments.
When setting the file time using utimensat, don't ignore
microseconds for access/modify times. By doing that, they're preserved
when using g_file_info_set_modification_date_time and then setting the file's
attributes from it.

Commit 9e2ad88455 improved app search results by allowing to differentiate
their match_type: prefix match or substring match; while giving more priority
to prefix matches over substring matches, but only when they are in the same
match_category[1].
This was a step forward but, as outlined in #3082, still not enough to get
most relevant results first to the user, because apparently (and for the
specific case of desktop app searching) a prefix match in a lower category
is more relevant to the user than a substring match in a higher category.
So that's what this commit implements, i.e. it makes sure prefix matches
are still preferred over substring matches but this time not only when
in the same category but also across different categories.
[1] Match category is the Desktop file key where the match happened.
They are shown below from top to lesser priority.

· Add a usage output that is printed when called with no argument
or with '--help' argument. This is helpful as it avoids having
to read the source code to know how to run the different options.
· Adds new '--should-show-only' option to 'search' command, to
better mimick the gnome-shell app search, by not returning
apps with NoDisplay=true.

The `GTK_USE_PORTAL` environment variable has started to be misused by
users, which is causing deployment issues (such as portal services
themselves ending up being forced to use portals, which is never going

Try and sidestep users’ broken configurations by renaming the
environment variable, and also separating it from the old GTK
environment variable, since the GLib one affects a lot more processes.
This environment variable is meant to be used for
debugging and development, and never in production.
GTK already renamed their environment variable in

I had thought that because `g_source_destroy()` was called for the two
sources (cancel and timeout) in the `GTask` finalize function for a
threaded resolver operation, that it would be fine to use a plain
pointer in the source callbacks to point to the `GTask`.
That turns out to not be true: because the source callbacks are executed
in the GLib worker thread, and the `GTask` can be finalized in another
thread, it’s possible for a source callback (e.g. `cancelled_cb()`) to
be scheduled in the worker thread, then for the `GTask` to be finalized,
and then the source callback to continue execution and find itself
doing a use-after-free.
Fix that by using a weak ref to the `GTask` in the source callbacks,
rather than a plain pointer.

We already validated that the required headers for each type of D-Bus

This failure could only be hit when using GDBus in peer-to-peer mode, or
