As noticed by Christian Hergert: We can reduce
some overhead by checking for exact type
equality first. According to Christian, around
3% of g_type_is_a calls are exact equalities.
Using prefixed property names like GtkWidget::visible
is very deprectated and basically never done. So avoid
paying the strchr cost before doing the first lookup.
Most of the time, we are dealing with static strings,
and we can compare them directly and avoid the strcmp.
Note that triggering this optimization requires
properties to be marked as G_PARAM_STATIC_NAME.
Drop the redundant `PROP_0` (which isn’t a real property) and initialise
the first member of the enum instead.
Add a typedef so that the enum type can be used in `switch` statements
in `get_property()` and `set_property()` vfuncs. This allows
`-Wswitch-enum` to be used to improve type safety.
The examples here don’t have `get_property()` or `set_property()`
vfuncs, but people might copy/paste the code to somewhere which does.

Make it a bit clearer in the documentation that using
`G_PARAM_STATIC_STRINGS` everywhere is a good thing.

Meson generates a gdbinit file that will automatically load glib and
gobject scripts. However that script uses a helper python module that
needs PYTHONPATH to be pointing into the right location in the source
tree to be able to find glib_gdb.py and gobject_gdb.py
This won’t really affect anything, but we might as well fix them to not
crash if called with an empty `argv` by someone (ab)using `execve()`.

Much like GBindingGroup, the GSignalGroup object allows you to connect many
signal connections for an object and connect/disconnect/block/unblock them
as a group.
This is useful when using many connections on an object to ensure that they
are properly removed when changing state or disposing a third-party
object.
This has been used for years in various GNOME projects and makes sense to
have upstream instead of multiple copies.
Originally, GBindingGroup started with Builder as a way to simplify all
of the third-degree object bindings necessary around Model-Controller
objects such as TextBuffer/TextView.
Over time, it has grown to be useful in a number of scenarios outside
of Builder and has been copied into a number of projects such as GNOME
Text Editor, GtkSourceView, libdazzle, and more.
It makes sense at this point to unify on a single implementation and
include that upstream in GObject directly alongside GBinding.
Glib cannot be built statically on Windows because glib, gobject and gio
modules need to perform specific initialization when DLL are loaded and
cleanup when unloaded. Those initializations and cleanups are performed
using the DllMain function which is not called with static builds.
Issue is known for a while and solutions were already proposed but never
merged (see: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/glib/-/issues/692). Last
patch is from version 2.36.x and since then the
"constructor/destructor" mechanism has been implemented and used in
other part of the system.
This patch takes back the old idea and updates it to the last version of
glib to allow static compilation on Windows.
WARNING: because DllMain doesn't exist anymore in static compilation
mode, there is no easy way of knowing when a Windows thread finishes.
This patch implements a workaround for glib threads created by calling
g_thread_new(), so all glib threads created through glib API will behave
exactly the same way in static and dynamic compilation modes.
Unfortunately, Windows threads created by using CreateThread() or
_beginthread/ex() will not work with glib TLS functions. If users need
absolutely to use a thread NOT created with glib API under Windows and
in static compilation mode, they should not use glib functions within
their thread or they may encounter memory leaks when the thread finishes.
This should not be an issue as users should use exclusively the glib API
to manipulate threads in order to be cross-platform compatible and this
would be very unlikely and cumbersome that they may mix up Windows native
threads API with glib one.
Closes#692
Notifying during object destruction is a dubious "feature": objects
might end up recreating a bunch of state just before clearing it;
language bindings might get spurious notifications during garbage
collection runs.
We freeze the notification queue before running the dispose() chain; if
the object was temporarily vivified during dispose, we thaw the
notification queue, otherwise we let the instance clear it when we
finalize it.

We now guarantee that GObjects will always be allocated at least as
aligned as the basic types. If you want to put an element in your
GObject which has higher alignment requirements, we can’t guarantee it
will be aligned*. If you need it to be aligned, you’ll need to put it on
the heap (aligned appropriately), or add appropriate padding in your
GObject struct.
*Actually, GSlice will guarantee that the whole GObject is aligned to at
least the power of 2 greater than or equal to the size of the GObject,
which means any element in the GObject struct should always be
appropriate aligned if the compiler pads it appropriately. If malloc()
is used, however, it doesn’t make that guarantee, so we can’t make that
guarantee overall.

Regardless of the actual alignment of the GTypeInstance in question,
these do a runtime check on the type, so if the type was originally
aligned correctly when allocated, it should be aligned correctly if the
type check succeeds. -Wcast-align is meant to warn about casts between
types, which this isn’t (if the check succeeds).

Fixes: #1231
See the reasoning in the patch for why we believe GObjects *are*
(already) as aligned as the basic types.
We want to make this guarantee so that it’s guaranteed to be safe for
people to ignore -Wcast-align warnings for GObjects which contain basic
types. This typically happens with gdouble on 32-bit ARM platforms.
The checks are slightly complicated by the need to support GObjects with
custom constructors. We should expect that a custom construction
function will chain up to g_object_constructor (which calls
g_type_create_instance() as normal), but it’s possible that someone has
done something crazy and uses a custom allocator which doesn’t return
with the same alignment as GSlice. Hand them a warning in that case. If
that is true, the code which uses their custom-constructed GObject can
presumably already deal with the alignment it gets given.
