Making this validation code public allows projects to validate a
GParamSpec name before creating it. While hard-coded GParamSpec don't
need this, we can't afford crashing the main program for dynamically
generated GParamSpec from user-created data.
In such case, we will need to validate the param names and return errors
instead of trying to create a GParamSpec with invalid names.
Includes modifications from Philip Withnall and Emmanuele Bassi to
rearrange the new function addition and split it into one function for
GParamSpecs and one for GSignals.
Inline with the stricter version of the property naming rules from the
documentation, tighten up the validation of property names at
installation time.

There’s no need to have the property naming documentation in two places,
with one version of it being stricter than the other. Rationalise it to
one place, link to that consistently, and settle on the stricter
version.

Helps: #358
We cannot just call
G_PARAM_SPEC_GET_CLASS (pspec)->value_set_default (pspec, &dflt_value);
without initializing the GValue first. It would call
param_string_set_default(), which would set the pointer value
to a cloned string (which later never gets released, because
the GValue is not known to hold a string).
Fixes: 6ad799ac67
Since we have the type of the GValue we're going to initialize, we can
allow passing an empty (but valid) GValue when retrieving the default
value of a GParamSpec.
This will eliminate additional checks and an unnecessary reset.
GValue g_type field is used for synchronization with g_once_init_enter,
and so it should be written to only with g_once_init_leave.
Replace structure copy with memcpy that copies the one remaining field
of GValue, i.e., data array.
Where we were already treating GHashTables as sets, modify them to use
the set-specific APIs g_hash_table_add() and g_hash_table_contains(), to
make that usage more obvious and less prone to being broken.

If we have an input parameter (or return value) we need to use (nullable).
However, if it is an (inout) or (out) parameter, (optional) is sufficient.
It looks like (nullable) could be used for everything according to the
Annotation documentation, but (optional) is more specific.
Add various (nullable) and (optional) annotations which were missing
from a variety of functions. Also port a couple of existing (allow-none)
annotations in the same files to use (nullable) and (optional) as
appropriate instead.
Secondly, add various (not nullable) annotations as needed by the new
default in gobject-introspection of marking gpointers as (nullable). See
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=729660.
This includes adding some stub documentation comments for the
assertion macro error functions, which weren’t previously documented.
The new comments are purely to allow for annotations, and hence are
marked as (skip) to prevent the symbols appearing in the GIR file.

These cause a static analyzer to think we're trying to actually handle
them being NULL, which is not the case. They both must not be NULL,
period.
No idea why the code was like this originally.
Reviewed by mclasen on IRC.
Back in the far-off twentieth century, it was normal on unix
workstations for U+0060 GRAVE ACCENT to be drawn as "‛" and for U+0027
APOSTROPHE to be drawn as "’". This led to the convention of using
them as poor-man's ‛smart quotes’ in ASCII-only text.
However, "'" is now universally drawn as a vertical line, and "`" at a
45-degree angle, making them an `odd couple' when used together.
Unfortunately, there are lots of very old strings in glib, and also
lots of new strings in which people have kept up the old tradition,
perhaps entirely unaware that it used to not look stupid.
Fix this by just using 'dumb quotes' everywhere.

The way of getting the default value out of a GParamSpec is to allocate
a GValue, initialise it, then call g_param_spec_set_default() to set the
default value into that GValue.
This is exactly how we handle setting the default value for all of the
construct properties that were not explicitly passed to g_object_new().
Instead of doing the alloc/init/store on all construct properties on
every call to g_object_new(), we can cache those GValues in the private
data of the GParamSpec itself and reuse them.
This patch does not actually make that change to g_object_new() yet, but
it adds the API to GParamSpec so that a future patch to GObject can make
the change.

Either g_type_register_static_simple (used by G_DEFINE_TYPE_EXTENDED)
and G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE use automatic variables for GTypeInfo and
GInterfaceInfo structs, while tutorials and source code often use
static variables. This commit consistently adopts the former method.

All locks are now zero-initialised, so we can drop the G_*_INIT macros
for them.
Adjust various users around GLib accordingly and change the docs.

In an attempt to avoid some potential future abuses of the GParamSpec
API, qualify the 'name' field of the structure as 'const' and add a
comment noting that it is an interned string.
This is a theoretical API break, but it will only ever result in
warnings -- and even then, only if you were already doing something
questionable.
Clean up some of the warnings that were caused internally in gparam.c
from these changes.
g_object_class_list_properties tries to sort the returned list of
paramspecs by 'type depth' and param_id. But all the overridden
interface properties have a param_id of 0, so they come out in
a random order.
Bug 628253.
