0e941418d1 docs: Document high-level UTF-8 requirements for GLib
I’ve finally found the right place in the docs to put this stuff.

This doesn’t auto-link this section from every string in the GLib
documentation, but I think that at this point (with gtk-doc in
maintenance mode, and gi-docgen not fully applied to GLib) I don’t think
we can do any better. The perfect is the enemy of the good, and having
this stuff documented somewhere means that someone can link to it from
multiple places in future *somehow*.

Apparently 3 hashes is too many, and as a result this line is not

dea11643a9 Rename confusing socket test filenames
The gio/tests/socket-client.c doesn't use GSocketClient, which makes the
filename confusing. What the file actually tests is the GSocket. Rename
it to socket-testclient.c
The corresponding GSocket server test file naming doesn't conflict with other
class names, but rename it to socket-testserver.c for consistency.

0fa17ec3c7 meson: wrap html documentation generation with gtk_doc option
By default, if a host environment has the `rst2html5` application
available, builds will automatically perform some HTML documentation
generation from the documentation's glib reference content (e.g.
creating `gvariant-specification-1.0.html`). The creation of this
documentation is not required for all use cases.

This commit tweaks the building of the HTML-based GLIB specification
document to be guarded by `gtk_doc`.

b38ddf5087 gregistrysettingsbackend: Remove translatable pspec nick/blurb
The file was not listed in `POTFILES.in` (as pointed out by Piotr Drąg
in
fee0a7679a (note_1722885)),
so either it needs to be added to `POTFILES.in` or the translatable
strings need to be removed.

Recent prior art from GTK shows that there’s actually no longer any
point in setting the nick/blurb as no tools use them (and if they did,
it would result in a rubbish user experience). See
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/-/issues/4904.

Hence, drop the strings entirely.

See #2991 for tracking this across all of GIO.

7adca698d8 gthreadpool: Clarify that item_free_func is not normally called
If you’re only quickly looking at the API signature, it looks like
`item_free_func` will be called for all items enqueued to the thread
pool.

As it happens, it’s actually only called for the items which are still
enqueued when the thread pool is destroyed. The user’s `GFunc` is
responsible for freeing items which are successfully dequeued and
processed during the lifetime of the thread pool.

That’s a bit of a gotcha, so document it more explicitly.

865cbe3714 gthreadedresolver: Remove some incorrect assertions
If a timeout executes on the same main context iteration as completion
or cancellation of a resolver lookup, `has_returned` will be set
multiple times. That’s fine (the `GCond` will be notified multiple
times, but that’s fine). It was triggering an incorrect assertion, so
remove that.

e73c5ed5e1 gresolver: Set timeout on default resolver to 30s
The default for the class is still to have no timeout, but it seems more
practical for most use cases to set a non-infinite timeout on the
default resolver.

If applications have a more specific use case, they can change the
timeout or replace the default resolver.

1c4384aec5 tests: Fix cancellation source handling in resolver manual test
If `async_cancel()` was invoked, it would remove the IO watch source,
which would cause the `g_source_remove()` call at the end of `main()` to
warn about an unknown source ID.

7b18e6205a gthreadedresolver: Switch to using a separate thread pool
Rather than running lookups in the global shared thread pool belonging
to `GTask`, run them in a private thread pool.

This is needed because the global shared thread pool is constrained to
only 14 threads. If there are 14 ongoing calls to
`g_task_run_in_thread()` from any library/code in the process, and then
one of them asks to do a DNS lookup, the lookup will block forever.

Under certain circumstances, particularly where there are a couple of
deep chains of dependent tasks running with `g_task_run_in_thread()`,
this can livelock the program.

Since `GResolver` is likely to be called as a frequent leaf call in
certain workloads, and in particular there are likely to be several
lookups requested at the same time, it makes sense to move resolver
lookups to a private thread pool.

06eecda823 gtask: Track pending GTasks if G_ENABLE_DEBUG is defined
Track the `GTask`s which are still alive (not finalised) in a shared
list, and provide a secret debugging function for printing that list.

Too often when debugging apps, I have found that a ‘leaked’ object is
actually still (validly) referenced by an ongoing `GTask` which hasn’t
completed for whatever reason. Or I have found that an operation has
obviously stalled, but there are no pointers available to the `GTask`
which is stalled, because it’s being tracked as a collection of closure
pointers from some `GSource` which is hard to get to in the debugger.

It will be very useful for debugging apps, if there’s a list of all the
still alive `GTask`s somewhere. This is that list.

The code is disabled if `G_ENABLE_DEBUG` is not defined, to avoid every
`GTask` construction/finalisation imposing a global locking penalty.

To use the new list, break in `gdb` while running your app, and call
`g_task_print_alive_tasks()`, or inspect the `task_list` manually:
```
(gdb) print g_task_print_alive_tasks()
16:44:17:788 GLib-GIO 5 GTasks still alive:

55e93a8278 gio: switch gunixconnection ngettext with g_dngettext calls
This commit changes the use of `ngettext` with `g_dngettext`. The
project defined `g_dngettext` (with domain support) provides the same
functionality as `ngettext` with a NULL domain provided. The purpose of
this change is to help address a build error for certain compilers that
trigger a `format-nonliteral` error-promoted-warning when using
`ngettext` (see also [1][2]). The benefit of switching to use
`g_dngettext` is that the function is defined with `G_GNUC_FORMAT`. This
provides a hint to GNU GCC compilers to still sanity check these
arguments, but not generate a `format-nonliteral`.

0ca660315a Revert "Fix error format in gio/gunixconnection.c (part 2)"
This reverts commit 4ae8606b6f. The idea
for the change [1] was to address a build error for certain compilers
that trigger a `format-nonliteral` error-promoted-warning since these
compilers do not gracefully support `ngettext` usage. The changes
following a pattern from an old commit [2]; however, James Hilliard has
pointed out these changes do not work as intended. A deeper inspection
of the commit showed that the commit was from an old merge request that
was not pulled in, detailing why the changes did not work (see also
[3][4]).

Manipulating the sockets unit test confirms that the format values no
longer get a proper value:

    ...
    ok 9 /socket/address
    ok 10 /socket/unix-from-fd
    ok 11 /socket/unix-connection
    **
    GLib-GIO:ERROR:../gio/tests/socket.c:1493:test_unix_connection_ancillary_data: assertion failed (err == NULL): Expecting one fd, but got %d
     (g-io-error-quark, 0)
    ...

And reverting this change restores the original functionality:

    ...
    ok 9 /socket/address
    ok 10 /socket/unix-from-fd
    ok 11 /socket/unix-connection
    **
    GLib-GIO:ERROR:../gio/tests/socket.c:1493:test_unix_connection_ancillary_data: assertion failed (err == NULL): Expecting 1 control message, got 0 (g-io-error-quark, 0)
