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

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.

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.

It's not safe to use setlocale() to mutate the locale in a threaded
program. Lots of other tests still do this, and I'm not putting in the
effort to fix them comprehensively in the absense of actual failures on
CI, but I figured it'd be good to fix the tests that I was touching.
This definitely does not do anything on Linux. I bet it's not needed on
other platforms, either. It's unsafe and may crash; there is no safe way
to mutate the environment in threaded programs.
This is a copy of the existing test_l10n, modified to use LC_TIME
instead of LC_MESSAGES. It's not safe as each call to g_setenv() or
setlocale() could cause the test to crash; there is no safe way to
change a threaded process's environment, and a threaded process's locale
can only be safely changed using uselocale(), not with setlocale().
The calls to g_setenv() are definitely not needed on Linux. I wonder
whether removing these will break the test on other platforms?
The calls to setlocale() should be replaced by a dance of
uselocale() -> duplocale() -> newlocale() -> uselocale() on Linux. But
this is not portable and this is a cross-platform test. We would have to
make the test platform-specific to do this. macOS and at least FreeBSD
provide these functions via xlocale.h, but this isn't portable.
It's supposed to be possible to translate settings values using LC_TIME
rather than LC_MESSAGES to determine which translation to use, but
Sebastian Keller noticed that it's not working properly. I've
implemented his proposed solution, which is to actually temporarily
change LC_MESSAGES to match LC_TIME for just as long as necessary to
force gettext to use the desired message catalog.

Avoid generating more code than needed, so other than continuing using
the generic glib marshallers when possible, define once the custom ones
we need for each file we generate.
The marshallers are then re-used across all the interfaces defined
without duplicating the code size.
This is the same we're doing in code generated by glib-genmarshaller and
what gmarshal does internally.
Since the generated gdbus C code can be considered private too, this is
safe to do, and will allow faster access to GValue objects.
Get rid completely of the usage of the generic marshaller in gdbus
generated code, using instead specific marshallers.
Code is not yet optimized fully since we may still have duplicated
functions to be generated.

We relied on g_cclosure_marshal_generic() to easily generate signal

`GLocalFileStat` is a platform-specific abstraction around `struct stat`
or `struct statx`. If `struct statx` is available, it will use that by
preference as it has more features.
`glocalfileinfo.c` was, in some places, incorrectly accessing the fields
of `GLocalFileStat` directly rather than through its `_g_stat_*()`
getters. While it correctly accounted for the platform-specific
differences between `st_mtimensec` and `st_mtim.tv_nsec`, it hadn’t been
updated to deal with `stx_mtime`.
On Android, `st_mtimensec` is defined as a fallback for
`st_mtim.tv_nsec` (even though it doesn’t need to be). This caused GLib
to take the `st_mtimensec` code path rather than the `stx_mtime` code
path, and hence try to dereference `st_mtim` in a `struct statx`.
Fix that by correctly using the `_g_stat_*()` getters consistently.

Currently we require explicitly specifying the port when configuring a
proxy server, which is seriously weird. I take the fact that nobody
reported a bug until 2022 to indicate that almost nobody is using
proxies. Whatever. Let's assume that if no port is provided, the default
port for the protocol should be used instead.
For example, you can now specify in GNOME settings that your proxy server
is https://example.com and it will work. Previously, you had to write
https://example.com:443. Yuck!
This was originally reported as GProxyResolver bug, but nothing is
actually wrong there. It's actually GProxyAddressEnumerator that gets
tripped up by URLs returned by GProxyResolver without a default port.
This breaks GSocketClient.
Fixing this requires exposing GUri's _default_scheme_port() function to
GIO. I considered copy/pasting it since it's not very much code, but I
figure the private call mechanism is probably not too expensive, and I

In the typical `while (g_file_enumerator_next_file ())` patterns,
there is nothing much checking whether the operation was cancelled
on the GIO side. Unless the user checks for the case, this means
local enumerators always run to completion even if cancelled.
Fix this by checking the cancellable state explicitly for local
enumerators, so there are oportunities for bailing out early if
the enumerator is going through a very large directory.
Note that the prepare callback only has one caller, which pre-initializes
the timeout argument to -1. That may be an implementation detail and not

caught in subsequent asynchronous CI.

Rather than running lookups in the global shared thread pool belonging
to `GTask`, run them in a private thread pool.
This is needed because the global shared thread pool is constrained to
only 14 threads. If there are 14 ongoing calls to
`g_task_run_in_thread()` from any library/code in the process, and then
one of them asks to do a DNS lookup, the lookup will block forever.
Under certain circumstances, particularly where there are a couple of
deep chains of dependent tasks running with `g_task_run_in_thread()`,
this can livelock the program.
Since `GResolver` is likely to be called as a frequent leaf call in
certain workloads, and in particular there are likely to be several

Track the `GTask`s which are still alive (not finalised) in a shared
list, and provide a secret debugging function for printing that list.
Too often when debugging apps, I have found that a ‘leaked’ object is
actually still (validly) referenced by an ongoing `GTask` which hasn’t
completed for whatever reason. Or I have found that an operation has
obviously stalled, but there are no pointers available to the `GTask`
which is stalled, because it’s being tracked as a collection of closure
pointers from some `GSource` which is hard to get to in the debugger.
It will be very useful for debugging apps, if there’s a list of all the
still alive `GTask`s somewhere. This is that list.
The code is disabled if `G_ENABLE_DEBUG` is not defined, to avoid every
`GTask` construction/finalisation imposing a global locking penalty.
To use the new list, break in `gdb` while running your app, and call
`g_task_print_alive_tasks()`, or inspect the `task_list` manually:
```
(gdb) print g_task_print_alive_tasks()

This commit changes the use of `ngettext` with `g_dngettext`. The
project defined `g_dngettext` (with domain support) provides the same
functionality as `ngettext` with a NULL domain provided. The purpose of
this change is to help address a build error for certain compilers that
trigger a `format-nonliteral` error-promoted-warning when using
`ngettext` (see also [1][2]). The benefit of switching to use
`g_dngettext` is that the function is defined with `G_GNUC_FORMAT`. This
provides a hint to GNU GCC compilers to still sanity check these
arguments, but not generate a `format-nonliteral`.

The merge request !2848 added code to automatically detect the module
prefix on macOS, with a test for the Mac #define TARGET_OS_OSX. However,
older versions of the SDK (at least 10.11) don't provide this #define,
leading to build failure. If the #define is missing, fall back to
checking TARGET_OS_MAC. On newer SDKs this symbol is also true for
watchOS, etc., but in those situations TARGET_OS_OSX is available.
Various gio modules include gmodule.h that requires the
gmodule-visibility.h to be already built.
To make this easier, just provide a dependency and use it where we are
building modules that do not depend on libgio_dep (that already includes
that).

The generated gir file marks the size parameter as "out" by default. This is wrong in the context of a caller allocated buffer with a given size. Explicitly marking the size parameter as (in) fixes the issue.
This reverts commit 4cad66580b.
Downgrading the criticals was only temporary. Now we’ve branched for

Fixes: #2951
The ref on the timeout source owned by `SendMessageData` was being
dropped just after attaching the source to the main context, leaving it
unowned in that struct. That meant the only ref on the source was held
by the `GMainContext` it was attached to.
This ref was dropped when returning `G_SOURCE_REMOVE` from
`send_message_with_reply_timeout_cb()`. Before that happens,
`send_message_data_deliver_error()` is called, which normally calls
`send_message_with_reply_cleanup()` and destroys the source.
However, if `send_message_data_deliver_error()` is called when the
message has already been delivered, calling
`send_message_with_reply_cleanup()` will be skipped. This leaves the
source pointer in `SendMessageData` dangling, which will cause problems
when `g_source_destroy()` is subsequently called on it.
I’m not sure if it’s possible in practice for this situation to occur,
but the code certainly does nothing to prevent it, and it’s easy enough
to avoid by keeping a strong ref on the source in `SendMessageData`.

It already implicitly held a strong ref on its `GTask` values, but
didn’t have a free function set so that they would be automatically
unreffed on removal from the map.
This meant that the functions handling removals from the map,
`on_worker_closed()` (via `cancel_method_on_close()`) and
`send_message_with_reply_cleanup()` had to call unref once more than
they would otherwise.
In `send_message_with_reply_cleanup()`, this behaviour depended on
whether it was called with `remove == TRUE`. If not, it was `(transfer
none)` not `(transfer full)`. This led to bugs in its callers.
For example, this led to a direct leak in `cancel_method_on_close()`, as
it needed to remove tasks from `map_method_serial_to_task`, but called
`send_message_with_reply_cleanup(remove = FALSE)` and erroneously didn’t
call unref an additional time.
Try and simplify it all by setting a `GDestroyNotify` on
`map_method_serial_to_task`’s values, and making the refcount handling
of `send_message_with_reply_cleanup()` not be conditional on its
arguments.

The existing comment in the code was correct that `data` is freed when
the task callback is called, because `data` is also pointed to by the
`user_data` for the task, and that’s freed at the end of the callback.
So the existing code was correct to take a copy of `data->task` before
calling `g_task_return_*()`.
After calling `g_task_return_*()`, the existing code unreffed the task
(which is correct), but then didn’t clear the `data->task` pointer,
leaving `data->task` dangling. That could cause a use-after-free or a
double-unref.
Avoid that risk by explicitly clearing `data->task` before calling
`g_task_return_*()`.
After some testing, it turns out this doesn’t actually fix any bugs, but
it’s still a good robustness improvement.

The generated gir file marks the size parameter as "out" by default. This is wrong in the context of a caller allocated buffer with a given size. Explicitly marking the size parameter as (in) fixes the issue.
As explained in the previous commit, GNU Coreutils 9.2 changes the behaviour
of `du --bytes` to only count regular files and symlinks.
The previous commit makes the test pass with GNU Coreutils >=9.2, but the
machine running the tests may have an older version, or perhaps even a
reimplementation such as uutils. So we can't rely on the size returned by `du`
to be the consistent across systems any more.
However, the plus side of the new behaviour is that the size reported by `du`
/ `G_FILE_MEASURE_APPARENT_SIZE` is now well-defined across filesystems
(as the sum of the sizes of regular files & symlinks), so we can hardcode it.
Fixes: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/glib/-/issues/2965
Since GNU Coreutils 9.2 (commit 110bcd28386b1f47a4cd876098acb708fdcbbb25),
`du --apparent-size` (including `du --bytes`) no longer counts all kinds of
files (directories, FIFOs, etc.), but only those for which `st_size` in
`struct stat` is defined by POSIX, namely regular files and symlinks
(and also rarely supported memory objects).
This aligns the behaviour of GLib's `G_FILE_MEASURE_APPARENT_SIZE` flag
with the new GNU Coreutils `du` and correct POSIX use.
Note that this may be a breaking change for some uses.

Both `GPollableInputStream` and `GPollableOutputStream` are dynamic
interfaces, in that their implementation on a class may only be
functional if certain prerequisites are met at runtime. For example,
a `GConverterInputStream` is only pollable if its base stream is
pollable, and that’s determined at runtime rather than compile time.
As such, both interfaces have a `can_poll()` method. If that method
returns `FALSE`, the behaviour of all other methods on the interface is
undefined.
That was mentioned in the documentation for `can_poll()`, but not any of

This partially reverts ed8e86a7d4.
The change to add the criticals (commit ed8e86a7d4) is correct, but
landed too late in the cycle. Let’s downgrade the criticals to debugs
for now, to stop applications seeing a lot of new criticals in their
output. Those criticals are particularly disruptive for command line
applications and unit tests.
Early in the next cycle, the debugs will be re-upgraded to criticals.
This will give applications a whole additional cycle to fix their
ambiguous use of API.
It turned out that a lot of applications have latent bugs around
calling `g_file_info_get_*()` without checking whether an attribute
is set first, and were hence relying on the ‘unknown’ return value
also being an appropriate default for them.
This was compounded by the fact that several non-local GVFS backends
were not setting `GFileInfo` attributes all the time, which caused the
‘missing attribute’ code path to be hit more frequently. For example,
they would only call `g_file_info_set_is_hidden()` with a true value and
never bother with a false one.
It was further compounded by the fact that, while this change landed for
the 2.75.4 release, there did not seem to be extensive integration
testing of that release, and distributions and downstreams went straight
to 2.76.0. That meant we missed the window between 2.75.4 and 2.76.0 to
change, fix or revert this behaviour. GLib relies on distros and
downstreams doing integration testing of unstable releases. We test with
downstream GNOME as part of gnome-build-meta, but do not have the
resources to do integration testing for everybody.

When the `g_file_copy` function is used with files on BTRFS, the

is used to obtain the file size for the progress callback, but it uses
the wrong `GFileInfo` object that is meant for attributes to be copied
with the file. The file size attribute is missing there obviously. Let's
obtain the file size over the `fstat` call the same way as it is done in
the `splice_stream_with_progress` function to get rid of those errors
and to fix the progress reporting.
