The check in _ke_is_excluded, which causes GKqueueFileMonitor to
fallback to GPollFileMonitor when it returns TRUE, was made to prevent
file monitor from blocking unmount of removable drives on systems not
supporting O_EVTONLY flag in open. However, since g_mount_can_unmount
always returns TRUE on Unix-like platforms, the check always returns
TRUE on non-standard mount points, which is very likely to cause all
programs on the desktop to use the polling fallback if GNOME is
installed in a different prefix for development. This makes the desktop
sluggish and results in bad developer experience on *BSD.
Kqueue isn't good at detecting rapid file creation and deletion. It
tends to miss events because events returned by the kernel don't include
filename information. Since the size of struct kevent is fixed, it is
probably not possible to extend the API to include file names without
breaking ABI. Therefore, we disables the test here to avoid test failure
that is impossible to fix in a reliable way.
We have no way to test Solaris builds atm, and it is not even clear how
to detect Solaris systems with meson. It will probably need to be
revisited when we get a proper CI in place.
Change G_FILE_ATTRIBUTE_ACCESS_CAN_TRASH logic to be consistent
with recent g_local_file_trash changes, i.e. set this to FALSE for
locations on system-internal mounts.

New bugs appears periodically in nautilus/gvfs/glib components that not
all trashed files are shown in trash:///. It used to be problem mostly
for "bind mounts" and btrfs subvolumes only. Currently, it is also
problem for nfs, cifs and other filesystems, which have been recently
added by commmit 0d69462f on the list of system internal filesystems.
This happens because the trash backend doesn't monitor files on system
internal mounts. Such behavior is not against the trash-spec, however,
we should be consistent within GNOME.
This behavior has the nice side-effect that it solves issues with hangs
on network filesystems: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/glib/issues/605,
because those are currently on the system internal filesystem list.

Previously, there was very little coverage of GArray behaviour with
either of the zero_terminated or clear_ arguments to g_array_new() set
to TRUE.
Parameterise the tests and exhaustively expand the coverage to cover all
possible GArray configurations.
This was made possible by the online code coverage report for GLib which
we now have:
https://gnome.pages.gitlab.gnome.org/glib/coverage/glib/garray.c.gcov.html.

Previously, g_array_insert_vals() would crash if called with an index
off the end of the array. This is inconsistent with the behaviour of
other methods (like g_array_set_size()), which will expand the array as
necessary.
Modify g_array_insert_vals() to expand the array as necessary. New array
elements will be cleared to zero if the GArray was constructed with
(clear_ == TRUE).

They do both accept NULL value arrays, but only if the number of
elements in the value array is zero. Fix the annotations and mention
this in the documentation.

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.
This test assumes the subprocess does not print anything else on stdout
other than the dbus address, otherwise g_test_trap_assert_stdout()
fails to match. But if the env running tests has G_MESSAGES_DEBUG=all
then it will also print "PATH=%s".
See commit 4c2928a544 for why checking AT_SECURE is preferable compared
to UID checks as currently done in the fallback case.
getauxval() was added with glibc 2.16
While glibc <2.19 didn't provide a way to differentiate a 0 return value from an error,
passing AT_SECURE should always succeed according to
https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2014-07/msg00407.html
I've added an errno check anyway, to be on the safe side.
It was added in 4c2928a544 to potentially enable accessing
AT_SECURE through __libc_enable_secure, but was never enabled.
Newer glibc provides getauxval(AT_SECURE) which should be used instead.
Add a TODO note for that.
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.
Try and ensure that people don’t push code with misleading indentation
in future. This should give fairly few false positives.
