In Windows development environments that have it, <unistd.h> is mostly
just a wrapper around several other native headers (in particular,
<io.h>, which contains read(), close(), etc, and <process.h>, which
contains getpid()). But given that some Windows dev environments don't
have <unistd.h>, everything that uses those functions on Windows
already needed to include the correct Windows header as well, and so
there is never any point to including <unistd.h> on Windows.
Also, remove some <unistd.h> includes (and a few others) that were
unnecessary even on unix.

...and only include unistd.h when we are on *NIX.
Newer Visual C++ runtimes (8.0/2005 and later) will cause the program to
crash with an internal abort() call when they detect instances of close()
being called on an invalid fd, such as when the fd is -1, and these should
be purged anyways.

Visual C++ does not like function declarations being different from
their prototypes, so make the prototypes match the declarations by
decorating them with G_MODULE_EXPORT.

Recent changes to the properties testcase made invalid use of the GArray
free function. This free function takes a pointer to the item to be
freed, not the item itself. Since that item was a pointer to a GObject,
g_object_unref() was getting a GObject**, rather than a GObject*.
The use of GArray in this testcase is pretty questionable in the first
place, so just use C arrays instead.
This commit adds a test to ensure that during a signal emission, if
a signal handler gets disconnected, it won't be run, even if it would
have run before the disconnection.
Perform a substantial cleanup of the build system with respect to
building and installing testcases.
First, Makefile.decl has been renamed glib.mk and substantially
expanded. We intend to add more stuff here in the future, like canned
rules for mkenums, marshallers, resources, etc.
By default, tests are no longer compiled as part of 'make'. They will
be built when 'make check' is run. The old behaviour can be obtained
with --enable-always-build-tests.
--disable-modular-tests is gone (because tests are no longer built by
default). There is no longer any way to cause 'make check' to be a
no-op, but that's not very useful anyway.
A new glibtests.m4 file is introduced. Along with glib.mk, this
provides for consistent handling of --enable-installed-tests and
--enable-always-build-tests (mentioned above).
Port our various test-installing Makefiles to the new framework.
This patch substantially improves the situation in the toplevel tests/
directory. Things are now somewhat under control there. There were
some tests being built that weren't even being run and we run those now.
The long-running GObject performance tests in this directory have been
removed from 'make check' because they take too long.
As an experiment, 'make check' now runs the testcases on win32 builds,
by default. We can't run them under gtester (since it uses a pipe to
communicate with the subprocess) so just toss them in TESTS. Most of
them are passing on win32.
Things are not quite done here, but this patch is already a substantial
improvement. More to come.
After this patch, there is but one remaining use of g_thread_init(),
which is in tests/slice-threadinit.c, a testcase dedicated to testing
the functionality of gslice across a g_thread_init() boundary.
This testcase is pretty meaningless these days... probably we should
delete it.
This should be the last users that need to be ported.
For some of the oldschool non-gtester-ified tests, we call g_test_init()
from main() because it is necessary in order to use
g_test_build_filename().
testgobject.c and timeloop-closure.c are the only two tests in the
toplevel tests/ directory that depend on gobject, so move them to
tests/gobject/ along with the other gobject tests.
Both of these were in noinst_PROGRAMS and not TESTS, so keep them that
way when we move them.
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.
