"Uninitialized value" is partially correct, since it has not been
initialized with a type, but it's more precise to say
"zero-initialized value". It is still a programming error to pass a
pointer to uninitialized memory with arbitrary contents as the value.

We're using the `install` argument for configure_file() all over the
place.
The support for an `install` argument for configure_file() was added in
Meson 0.50, but we haven't bumped the minimum version of Meson we
require, yet; which means we're getting compatibility warnings when
using recent versions of Meson, and undefined behaviour when using older
versions.
The configure_file() object defaults to `install: false`, unless an
install directory is used. This means that all instances of an `install`
argument with an explicit `true` or `false` value can be removed,
whereas all instances of `install` with a value determined from a
configuration option must be turned into an explicit conditional.
Connect the dots between G_ADD_PRIVATE and the various G_DEFINE_* macros
that use it, as well as expanding the code example for
G_DEFINE_TYPE_EXTENDED with a private instance data declaration.

The two test scripts actually assumed some *NIX paradigms, so we need
to adapt them so that they can work on Windows as well, the changes are
namely:
-Call the glib-mkenums and glib-genmarshal Python scripts with the
Python interpreter, not just relying on shebang lines, on Windows.
This is because the native Windows console (cmd.exe) does not support
shebang lines, for subprocess.run().
-Use NamedTemporaryFile with delete=False, otherwise Windows cannot find
the temp files we need when running the tests.
-Use universal_newlines=True for subprocess.run() so that we do not need
to worry out line ending differences on different systems.
-Make sure we are not in the temp directories we create, where the tests
are being run, upon cleanup. Windows does not like deleting
directories that we are currently in.
On Windows and possibly other platforms the '%p' printf modifier does
not prefix printed values with '0x', so do not expect the warning
message to contain the '0x' prefix for the handler pointer value.
When building a valist marshaller, we can avoid reffing a GParamSpec
if the argument is known to always be static. The marshaller we ship in
`gmarshal.c` got this right, but marshallers generated by
glib-genmarshal were missing the optimisation. Fix that, and add a unit

Using the generic marshaller has drawbacks beyond performance. One such
drawback is that it breaks the stack unwinding from the Linux kernel due
to having unsufficient data to walk past ffi_call_unixt64. That means that
performance profiling by application developers looks grouped among
seemingly unrelated code paths.

If we specify a c_marshaller, g_signal_newv() will never assign an
va_marshaller automatically. So either use NULL (for simple cases), or
specify both to avoid the generic performance penalty.

We already have the GType with which the GValue should be initialized,
so requiring an initialized GValue is not really necessary, and it
actually complicates code that wraps GObject, by requiring the retrieval
of the GParamSpec in order to get the property type. Additionally, it
introduces a mostly unnecessary g_value_reset().
We already changed g_object_getv() to allow passing uninitialized

Since out-of-source-tree builds are now used after switching to meson,
we don't need .gitignore files in the source directories to ignore
build artifacts.
This fixes build errors when doing a meson build after an autotools
build, because generated files such as gio/xdp-dbus.c won't show up in
a `git status`, or be removed by a `git clean -f`, and so it won't be
obvious that such files need to be removed for the meson build to
succeed.
Currently, there is no way to prevent tests from building using meson.
When cross-compiling, building the tests isn't necessary.
Instead, only build the tests on the following conditions:
1) If not cross-compiling.
2) If cross-compiling, and there is an exe wrapper.
This reverts commit 80fcb1bc26.
G_DISABLE_DEPRECATED should never be used by anybody, least of all by
GLib. We have deprecation annotations for the compiler, these days, and
they are much better suited than a macro that makes symbols appear and
disappear. The fact that gtk-doc doesn't understand the deprecation
annotations is a limitation of gtk-doc, and it's gtk-doc that ought to be
fixed.
Commit 80fcb1bc broke GStreamer, which disables old API that was
deprecated before the introduction of the deprecation annotations, but
still uses newly deprecated one, and relies on the deprecation
annotations to do their thing. It also broke libsoup, as it uses
GValueArray in its own API.
This is not new; all of its methods have been deprecated for a long
time. Make the deprecation more obvious, however, by marking the whole
section as deprecated.
Note that GArray can’t *quite* do everything that GValueArray could.
See #1069 for work to fix this. This documentation block can be updated

The threads used to iterate at least 10000 times before setting the
"seen thread" flag to true. After porting they inadvertently did that
in the first iteration.
Previously, the test assumed that thread1 and thread2 would be scheduled
enough to set seen_thread{1,2} by the fact that the test runs for a high
number of iterations. On some platforms/schedulers, that’s not true,
which causes the test to spuriously fail.
Fix that by forcing the test to continue iterating until both threads
are seen. If this takes too long, the Meson test runner timeout will be

It's necessary sometimes for installed tests to be able to run with a
custom environment. For example, the gsocketclient-slow test requires an
LD_PRELOADed library to provide a slow connect() (this is to be added in
a followup commit).
Introduce a variable `@env@` into the installed test template, which we
can override as necessary when generating `.test` files, to run tests
prefixed with `/usr/bin/env <LIST OF VARIABLES>`.
As the only test that requires this currently lives in `gio/tests/`, we
are only hooking this up for that directory right now. If other tests in
future require this treatment, then the support can be extended at that
point.
I'm trying to use `-fsanitize=thread` for OSTree, and some of

Conceptually the binding is kept alive as long as both the source and

either hold a reference or only use a pointer to the binding as long as
also holding references to both objects.

Turns out the fix in commit 93555577c wasn't enough, when using glib as
subproject and the parent project uses only libgio_dep, and include

include_directories of libglib_dep. Fix that by declaring dependencies
explicitly, which is the right thing to do since glib and gobject are

g_object_bind_property() (transfer none) returns a GBinding with an existing internal
reference which is active as long as the "binding" is. This allows to optionally use
the binding without any memory management, as it will remove itself when it is no longer
needed.
There are currently three ways to remove the "binding" and as a result the reference:
1) Either the source or target dies and we get notified by a weakref callback
2) The user unrefs the binding until it is destroyed (which is semi-legal,
but worked and is used in the test suite)
3) The user calls g_binding_unbind()
In case (3) the problem was that it always calls unref even if the "binding" is already
gone, leading to crashes when called from bindings multiple times.
In #1373 and !197 it was noticed that a function always unrefs which would be a
"transfer full" annotation, but the problem here is that it should only remove the
ref when removing the "binding" and the annotation should stay "transfer none".
As a side effect of this fix it is now also possible to call g_binding_unbind() multiple
times where every call after the first is a no-op.
This also adds explicit tests for case (1) and (3) - only case (3) is affected by this change.
Part of runMkenumsWithHeader() was duplicated in test_reproducible(),

The new python module, added with 0.46, works with Python 2 and 3 and
allows to pass a path for the interpreter to use, if the need arises.
Previously the meson build set PYTHON, used in the shebang line of
the scripts installed by glib, to the full path of the interpreter.
The new meson module doesn't expose that atm, but we should set it to
a executable name anyway, and not a full path.
Several of our tools are installed and are used by other projects to
generate code. However, there is no 'install' when projects use glib
as a subproject.
We need some way for glib to 'provide' these tools so that when some
project uses glib as a subproject, find_program('glib-mkenums') will
transparently return the glib-mkenums we just built.
Starting from Meson 0.46, this can be done with the
`meson.override_find_program()` function.
As a bonus, the Meson GNOME module will also use these
'overriden'/'provided' programs instead of looking for them in PATH.
PEP8 says that:
"Comparisons to singletons like None should always be done with is or
is not, never the equality operators."
glib uses a mix of "== None" and "is None". This patch changes all
cases to the latter.

Meson has the ability to classify tests according to "suites", a list of
tags. This is especially useful when we want to run specific sets of
tests — e.g. only GLib's tests — instead of the whole test suite. It
also allows us to classify special tests, like "slow" ones, so that we
can only run them when needed.
In master, it is already possible to build GLib using Visual Studio
using Meson[1] for some time, so we should focus on maintaining only the
Meson build files for building GLib with Visual Studio.
[1]: There are caveats when building with Visual Studio 2008, namely
that one needs to use the mt command to embed the manifests that
are generated with the .exe/DLLs, for all builds, and that in the
case where the compilation hangs on Visual Studio 2008 x64, as a
workaround, should stop the build by terminating all cl.exe tasks
and change the compiler optimization flag from /O2 (full speed) to
/O1 (optimize for size), due to compiler optimization issues.
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.
