Without this when compiling GLib with address sanitizer enabled, we'd
end up failing with this error:
==375535==ASan runtime does not come first in initial library list;
you should either link runtime to your application or manually preload
it with LD_PRELOAD.
Now, given that addressing the fix implies doing more radical changes,
it's just fine here to ignore ASAN to work on tools we use for building
gir files.
Generating gir and typelib files has inter-dependencies that may depend
on other elements.
For example, glib requires gobject and gdump generated files require
gmodule, so we've a cyclic dependency because gmodule requires gobject,
that requires glib.
To prevent this, let's just generate the introspection files at once in
a different meson file so that we don't have to deal with this.
As per this we could even revert commit fa37ab6d0 since gio is now
compiled before the gir files.
GLib gir requires glib-types.h that also includes gobject-visibility.h
that needs to be generated in order to be able to generate the GLib gir,
so explicitly add it to the sources.
Also, in order to link the typelib we need the definitions of the *_get_type()
functions that are defined in the gboxed.c file, so this should be part
of the gir sources or we'll have linking issues.
The code for stripping the query and fragment from file:// URIs was
wrong, as it would not properly strip a query if there was a fragment.
Fortunately, that code was actually useless, as the "stripped URI" was
passed to g_filename_from_uri() that does proper stripping itself.
So simply drop this extra unnecessary stripping logic from GLocalVFS's
get_file_for_uri() and let g_filename_from_uri() do all the work.
Aside from checking that we're accessing the global GParamSpecPool
without necessarily initializing GObjectClass, we should also verify
that we're doing so safely without the class init lock.
Ensure that the fix in commit af024b6d7e7d3fbef23c1f7d1f7704fc90ac4fb1
works, by replicating what gobject-introspection does:
- initialise the default GTypeInterface from a GType without also
initialising GObjectClass
- install a property for the interface
- find the GParamSpec using g_object_interface_find_property()
Right now, we're assuming that GObjectClass will be initialised first
and under a lock, but that's not always the case: when traversing a list
of type, the first one might be a GTypeInterface, and if we initialise
an interface that installs a property, the whole thing comes crashing
down because the global GParamSpecPool is not initialised.
Instead of taking a lock everywhere, we can use an atomic compare and
swap; the first thread that installs a property wins the race, as any
other access to the GParamSpecPool is performed under a lock.
While GParamSpecPool should never be used by newly written code, having
the ability to free the associated memory is a good idea. The only
reason why this hasn't been necessary until now is that we assume base
classes are going to keep their GParamSpecPool around forever.
It’s not particularly necessary, and makes the build-time dependencies
more complex than they need to be, as it means that to generate
GLib-2.0.gir and GObject-2.0.gir, libgio.so (and its generated headers)
already needs to have been built.

These changes need to be replicated in gobject-introspection.git before
the problem can be solved, though, as that still has its own copy of
`gdump.c` (which it installs and uses).

Since it now has to build the docs (and code coverage) for `main`, that
needs to happen after branches are merged.

The actual deployment will be done by
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/-/blob/docs-gtk-org/; it pulls the
most recent artifact zip from glib.git.
This ensures that only one project/job/branch has push access to the
website.

The same struct was reused across multiple tests, but without a shared
way of freeing its members. Refactor to add one.

The current buffer API is pretty much C-specific, and cannot be
adequately described in a way that is friendly to introspection and
language bindings: the passed buffer is allocated by the caller, but the
written size of the buffer is in the return value.
Using GBytes, we get a better API at the cost of an additional
allocation.
If more documentation needs to be added, it either needs to be added as
docblock comments next to the relevant symbols, or as additional
Markdown files. Not in a random C file.
