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
This is what we already ignored with valgrind and it's something that
we should always ignore since it's leaked by design.
So do explicitly mark it as such.
If we use the system libraries we can't really debug it, so ensure we're
using the currently built libraries for it too.
We're doing it globally to ensure that we're testing the result that
this version of the libraries are building
As per issue #2309 the cancellable source may not be ever released,
making this code to fail in address sanitizer, so mark the location as a
leaking one to prevent tests using it to fail
In some test cases (but not only) GLib needs to preload libraries when
launching executables, however this doesn't work well with ASAN because
libasan needs to be the first library to be loaded in such case.
We've been ignoring the error so far, using verify_asan_link_order=false
ASAN option, but this is not the correct way because it implies that
we don't check any pre-loaded library, as we instead should.
So in the platforms we know, get the proper sanitizer libraries paths
and pre-load them when required.
We don't do it for installed tests since the full paths may change in
the target system, so ignoring the error is safer.
This meson code has been used for various years now in fprintd project
to run tests in CI in both fedora and debian-based systems with no
issues, so I consider it reliable.
In case no preload variables are found the default ignore mode is used
If preloading a library is required asan doesn't work properly because
it requires to be the first loaded library to test everything, however
the behavior can be worked around using an ASAN_OPTIONS variable, so do
this to prevent the tests to fail completely
But instead of having to do it at test level, manage this at wider scope
It’s not needed, and is now failing with:
```
meson.build:2578:36: ERROR: Feature systemtap cannot be enabled: Cannot enable systemtap because dtrace feature is disabled

Fixes: #3372
- Do not refer to people’s expectation, they can wildly differ.
- Do not link to `strcompress`, that confusingly does not support `\a`. Link Wikipedia instead.
- Reiterate the C escape sequences from string section, they are not that many.
- Mention escaping newline and other characters (also copied from string section).
- Mention Unicode escapes not being supported to contrast with strings.
GVariant Text Format section on bytestrings links to `g_strcompress`
but what it does was only briefly described in the header file,
which is not visible in the gi-docgen-built reference. To really
find out one would have to guess to continue through the rabbit hole
to `g_strescape`.
Let’s merge the description from the header and elaborate on it a bit.
Saying that it inserts a backslash before special character is incorrect
for anything but a double quote and backslash itself. Instead, it replaces
the special characters with a C escape sequence.
Let’s fix that and also make it less C focused by using Unicode names
of the characters instead of assuming everyone knows C escape sequences
by heart.
Now sysprof can be enabled by default in distros that use
-Dauto_features=enabled or for developers who already have sysprof
installed, while it's still disabled for developers who do not have
sysprof installed. See #3354
Now systemtap can be enabled by default in distros that use
-Dauto_features=enabled or for developers who already have systemtap
installed, while it's still disabled for developers who do not have
systemtap installed. See #3354
Now dtrace can be enabled by default in distros that use
-Dauto_features=enabled or for developers who already have dtrace
installed, while it's still disabled for developers who do not have
dtrace installed. See #3354
