Make a number of improvements to g_object_new():
- instead of looking up the GParamSpec for the named property once in
g_object_new() (in order to collect) and then again in g_object_newv
(when actually setting the property), g_object_new_internal() is a
new function that takes the GParamSpec on the interface to avoid the
second lookup
- in the case that ->constructor() is not set, we need not waste time
creating an array of GObjectConstructParam to pass in. Just directly
iterate the list of parameters, calling set_property() on each.
- instead of playing with linked lists to keep track of the construct
properties, realise that the number of construct properties that we
will set is exactly equal to the length of the construct_properties
list on GObjectClass and the only thing that may change is where the
value comes from (in the case that it was passed in)
This assumption was already implicit in the existing code and can be
seen from the sizing of the array used to hold the construct
properties, but it wasn't taken advantage of to make things simpler.
- instead of allocating and filling a separate array of the
non-construct properties just re-iterate the passed-in list and set
all properties that were not marked G_PARAM_CONSTRUCT (since the ones
that were construct params were already used during construction)
- use the new g_param_spec_get_default_value() API instead of
allocating and setting the GValue for each construct property that
wasn't passed from the user
Because we are now iterating the linked list of properties in-order we
need to append to that list during class initialising instead of
prepending.
These changes show a very small improvement on the simple-construction
performance testcase (probably just noise) and they improve the
complex-construction case by ~30%.
Thanks to Alex Larsson for reviews and fixes.

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.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=698056
Since instance private data is now always at a constant offset to the
instance pointer, we can add an accessor for it that doesn't also
require an instance.
The idea is that classes can call this from their class_init and store
it in a file-scoped static variable and use that to find their private
data on instances very quickly, without a priv pointer.

This reverts commit ddb0ce1421.
Colin's smoke testing has found issues in at least gjs and
gnome-settings-daemon. We'll need to see if we can address those.
GObject has previously allowed installing properties after class_init
has finished running. This means that you could install some of your
own properties on G_TYPE_OBJECT, for example, although they wouldn't
have worked properly.
Prevent this from happening. Require that all properties are installed by
the time class_init has finished.
Complaints go to this bug:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=698614
Classically, a GTypeInstance has had the following layout:
[[[[GTypeInstance] GObject] TypeA] TypeB] [TypeAPrivate] [TypeBPrivate]
where TypeB is a subclass of TypeA which is a GObject. Both TypeA and
TypeB use pivate data.
The main problem with this approach is that the offset between a pointer
to an instance of TypeA and the TypeAPrivate is not constant: it changes
depending on the depth of derivation and the size of the instance
structures of the derived types. For example, changing the size of the
TypeB structure in the above example would push the TypeAPrivate further
along.
This complicates the implementation of g_type_instance_get_private().
In particular, during object construction when the class pointer to the
'complete type' of the object is not yet stored in the header of the
GTypeInstance, we need a lookup table in order to be able to implement
g_type_instance_get_private() accurately.
We can avoid this problem by storing the private data before the
structures, in reverse order, like so:
[TypeBPrivate] [TypeAPrivate] [[[[GTypeInstance] GObject] TypeA] TypeB]
Now the distance between TypeA and TypeAPrivate depends only on the size
of GObject and GTypeInstance, which are static. Even in the case of
TypeB, the distance is not statically known but can be determined at
runtime and is constant (because we will know the size of TypeAPrivate
by the time we initialise TypeB and it won't change).
This approach requires a slighty dirty trick: allocating extra memory
_before_ the pointer we return from g_type_create_instance(). The main
problem with this is that it will cause valgrind to behave very badly,
reporting almost everything as "possibly lost".
We can correct for this by including a few valgrind client requests in
order to inform it that the start of the GTypeInstance should be
considered a block of memory and that pointers to it should mean that
this block is reachable. In order to make the private data reachable,
we also declare it as a block and include an extra pointer from the end
of the primary block pointing back at it. All of this is only done if
we are running under Valgrind.

When looking up signals by name (to connect, for example) and the named

We need to keep a reference to the handler in the fast path, just like
in the slow path, otherwise if another thread disconnects the handler
we may destroy the closure while we're using it without the lock held.
We also move the freeing of the instance to after the emission is totally
done as the handler_unref_R (and the tracepoint) reference it.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=694253
handler_ref and handler_unref_R are always called with the signal
lock held. This is obvious for handler_unref_R as it even sometimes
drops this lock, and can be verified quickly for handler_ref by looking
at all call sites.
This improves the performace about 6% on the emit-handled and the
emit-handled-generic tests.

Experimentally disable the ability to unload dynamic types by refusing

unforeseen problems.

The point of g_source_set_closure() is getting memory management right,
including handling closures disappearing from the outside (for example
because a runtime they refer to is being shutdown). This means that
sources with an associated closure should remove themselves from the
main loop and free memory when the closure is invalidated.

Before this commit, the only difference between the expected and actual
ABI were the addition of _init and _fini symbols in each module (now
that regexp-based export control is not catching those).
This is the bug that has been causing segfaults and criticals when accel
keys are used to close windows via GtkUIManager.
The main cause of this problem was a mistake made in the original patch
when modifying the handler_lookup() to take the extra 'closure'
parameter. The original check used was:
if (handler->sequential_number == handler_id ||
(closure && handler->closure == closure))
It was called to find a particular closure like so:
handler_lookup (instance, 0, closure, &signal_id);
The problem is that the check will return if either the signal ID or
closure matches (if a closure was given). The calling code assumes 0 to
be an invalid signal ID which will match no handlers, but unfortunately
the rest of gsignal code uses this to denote a signal that has already
been disconnected. The result is that this function was searching for a
matching closure _or_ the first already-disconnected handler. When it
found the already-disconnected handler, we'd get criticals and crashes.
The condition has been corrected; it now ignores the handler_id
parameter if the closure parameter is non-NULL.
While we're in here, change the lifecycle of the invalidation notify to
be easier to understand.
Before, the notify was removed when the last reference on the handler
dropped. This could happen in very many situations; often at the end of
an emission. Instead, we now tie the registration of the notifier to
the lifecycle of the signal connection. When the signal is disconnected
we remove the notification, even if other references are held (eg:
because it is currently being dispatched).

We only want to control the default visibility for our five main
installable libraries: libglib, libgthread, libgmodule, libgobject,
libgio. We should therefore only set -fvisibility=hidden when building
those.
Use a separate substitution variable for this purpose.
Using CFLAGS directly leads to some modules built in testcases not
exporting their symbols (and then the tests fail). It also affects the
fam file monitoring module.
Colin had originally done it this way in his visibility patch series but
I failed to understand why so I didn't copy it. Now I do.

Commit 282366c326 unnecessarily (skip)ed all the GParamSpec constructors like
g_param_spec_bool(). Make those introspectable by dropping the (skip) and
adding proper transfer annotations.
Keep g_param_spec_value_array() skipped as GValueArray is deprecated.
With visibility now under the control of __declspec(dllexport) we no
longer need to build .def files or use them for building our various
.dll files.
.def files used to be installed (even though it is only really useful
when creating the .dll or .lib file). Don't do that anymore either.
The Makefiles still contain rules to create a .lib file for use with
Visual Studio and these rules require .def files. There are special
requirements to using these rules (like having installed and setup
Microsoft tools for use during the build) and therefore the problem of
creating a .def file for use with them is left open to anyone willing to
make the effort. Many options are available depending on which
toolchain is in use (dlltool, pexport, gendef, dumpbin.exe, just to name
a few).
If we can find a free tool for creating .lib files in the future, we
should probably revisit this issue and add proper support back to our
build system.
This macro simply evaluates the "extern" unless it has been explicitly
defined to something else.
All of the version macros (including the unversioned deprecation markers
and GLIB_AVAILABLE_IN_ALL) now include _GLIB_EXTERN as part of their
definition.
G_INLINE has also been modified to use _GLIB_EXTERN where appropriate.
This macro should never be used outside of the gmacros.h/gversonmacros.h
headers.
The effect of this patch is that "extern" has now been added to all
functions declared in installed headers. Strictly speaking, this is
something we should have had all along...
GLIB_VAR and GOBJECT_VAR have also been modified to use _GLIB_EXTERN on
non-Windows, instead of "extern" which they were using before. The
eventual goal is to use the normal version/deprecation macros on
exported variables and drop GLIB_VAR but we need to see how this will
work on Windows before we go ahead with that.

Basically due to a combination of va_args semantics around

Unfortunately, the possible fixes for this are extremely invasive;
we would have to define a new enum API.
Given both of these facts, we believe it makes the most sense at the
current time to simply not test this. If we at a later time determine
there is such a real-world consumer, we can look at doing the

Modify gsignal to automatically disconnect a GClosure that becomes
invalid (in the g_closure_invalidate() sense).
Previously, when g_signal_connect_object() was used with a GObject as
the user_data and that object was destroyed, the handler would no longer
be called but the signal handler was itself was not disconnected (ie:
the bookkeeping data was kept around).
The main effect of this patch is that these signal handlers will now
be automatically disconnected (and fully freed).
The documentation for g_signal_connect_object() has anticipated this
change for over 10 years and has advised the following workaround when
disconnecting signal handlers connected with g_signal_connect_object():
if (g_signal_handler_is_connected (instance, id))
g_signal_handler_disconnect (instance, id);
If your code follows this practice then it will continue to work.
If your code never disconnects the signal handler then it was wasting
memory before (and this commit fixes that).
If your code unconditionally disconnects the signal handler then you
will start to see (harmless) g_critical() warnings about this and you
should fix them.

This patch solves two problems:
First, it allows builders to optionally cut the circular dependency
between dbus and glib by disabling the modular tests (just like how
the tests can be disabled in dbus).
Second, the tests are entirely pointless to build if cross-compiling.
It also moves us slightly closer to the long term future we want where
the tests are a separate ./configure invocation and run against the
INSTALLED glib, not the one in the source tree. This would allow us to
run the tests constantly, not just when glib is built.

The ability to cross-compile glib got broken after the

was made that the generated glib-genmarshal can be executed
on the host (which isn't valid when cross-compiling).
Fixed this by using the just-built glib-genmarshal for normal

va_vopy() is not universally available in all compilers, so make use of
the existing G_VA_COPY macro which either calls va_copy() if it is

When there is only one closure handling a signal emission and

The GValueArray type was added in a time, during the Jurassic era or so,
when GArray did not have a representable GType. The GValueArray API has
various issues as well:
- it doesn't match the other GLib array types;
- it is not reference counted;
- the structure is fully exposed on the stack, so it cannot be
extended to add reference counting;
- it cannot be forcibly resized.
The nice thing is that now we have a GArray type that can replace in
full GValueArray, so we can deprecate the latter, and reduce the
complexity in GLib, application code, and bindings.

Add a testcase to check all possibilities for overriding a property
specified on an interface from an implementation of that interface,
changing the type and flags.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=666616
Change the order of the checks so that we hear about the 'biggest'
problem first. Also, stop reporting problems after we report the first
one for a particular property.
Add some comments.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=666616
The property override typecheck was meant to enforce the type on the
overriding property being exactly equal to the type on the interface
property. Instead, g_type_is_a() was incorrectly used.
We could try to enforce equality, but if a property is read-only then it
should be possible for the implementation to type the property with any
subtype of the type specified on the interface (because returning a more
specific type will still satisfy the interface). Likewise, if the
property is write-only then it should be possible for the implementation
to type the property with any supertype.
We implement the check this way.

Simplify some of the logic in this function.
1) Simplify flag checks as per Colin's suggestions in
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=605667
2) Don't repeatedly recheck if class_pspec is NULL.
GObject enforces the following restrictions on property overrides:
- must only add abilities: if the parent class supports
readability/writability then the subclass must also support them.
Subclasses are free to add readability/writability.
- must not add additional restrictions: if the parent class doesn't
have construct/construct-only restrictions then the subclass must
not add them. Subclasses are free to remove restrictions.
The problem with the previous implementation is that the check against
adding construct/construct-only restrictions was being done even if the
property was not previously writable. As an example:
"readable" and "writable only on construct"
was considered as being more restrictive than
"read only".
This patch tweaks the check to allow the addition of
construct/construct-only restrictions for properties that were
previously read-only and are now being made writable.

First, some ARM systems are not fast enough to meet the 30 second
deadline in gwakeuptest.c, so increase that to 60.
Second, we have some signed/unsigned woes in the gparam transform tests.
These don't really matter, since it's test code, but they do obscure
real leaks in the library.

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.

* Represents an immutable reference counted block of memory.
* This is basically the internal glib GBuffer structure exposed,
renamed, and with some additional capabilities.
* The GBytes name comes from python3's immutable 'bytes' type
* GBytes can be safely used as keys in hash tables, and have
functions for doing so: g_bytes_hash, g_bytes_equal
* GByteArray is a mutable form of GBytes, and vice versa. There
are functions for converting from one to the other efficiently:
g_bytes_unref_to_array() and g_byte_array_free_to_bytes()
* Adds g_byte_array_new_take() to support above functions

When the 'conditional' parameter is TRUE, the queue will only be frozen
(ie: have its freeze count increase by one) if it is already frozen.
This will allow us to avoid a freeze-notify-thaw in the case that we
just want to notify on a single property.
Another approach may have been to add an is_frozen() type call and avoid
even increasing the freeze count at all in this case. Unfortunately,
I'm not totally sure what is the exact expected semantics of
simultaneous notifications in multiple threads and this may interact
badly with someone freezing or thawing in between our check and
emission.
Lift the check-if-READABLE and redirect-target logic from out of
g_object_notify_queue_add() into its own function, get_notify_pspec().
Use that function at the site of our two calls to
g_object_notify_queue_add().
This was done as a separate file before, and #include brought it into
gobject.c. That's a bit mad, so stop doing that.
Unfortunately, the insanity steps up a level: gobjectnotifyqueue.c is
installed in the public include dir, so we can't just get rid of it
entirely.
Similar to G_PARAM_DEPRECATED. It will warn only for users of the
signals, so a signal can still be emited without warning, for
compatibility reasons.
Apparently, there is no way user flags could have been used before,
so that shouldn't break anyone.

Instead of:
warning: ‘g_variant_get_gtype’ is deprecated (declared at ../../gobject/glib-types.h:242): Use '((GType) ((21) << (2)))' instead [-Wdeprecated-declarations]
show:
warning: ‘g_variant_get_gtype’ is deprecated (declared at ../../gobject/glib-types.h:242): Use ''G_VARIANT_GET_TYPE'' instead [-Wdeprecated-declarations]
Also, document the macro-expansion problem in the
G_GNUC_DEPRECATED_FOR docs
Allow passing --identifier-prefix and --symbol-prefix to glib-mkenums,
with the same meanings as in g-ir-scanner, to allow fixing up the enum
name parsing globally rather than needing to add a /<* *>/ override to
each enum.

This was used as an optimisation for the macro hackery that used to live
in gthread.h. If a particular library or program knew that it could
rely on thread support being enabled, it would allow for static
evaluation of conditionals in some of those macros.
Since the macros are dead and thread support is now always-on, we can
get rid of this bit of legacy.
And remove the 'joinable' argument from g_thread_new() and
g_thread_new_full().
Change the wording in the docs. Clarify expectations for
(deprecated) g_thread_create().
