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.
This should remove some warnings from the CI, making it easier to see
legitimate CI failures.
For example, see https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/glib/-/jobs/1621041.

When an object with toggle reference is notifying a change we just
assume that this is true because of previous checks.
However, while locking, another thread may have removed the toggle
reference causing the waiting thread to abort (as no handler is set at
that point).
To avoid this, once we've got the toggle references mutex lock, check
again if the object has toggle reference, and if it's not the case
anymore just ignore the request.
Add a test that triggers this, it's not 100% happening because this is
of course timing related, but this is very close to the truth.
Fixes: #2394
As per the previous change, an object that had weak locations set may
need to lock again the weak locations mutex during qdata cleanup, but
we can avoid this when we know we're removing the last location, by
removing the qdata entry and freeing the data.
In case a new location is needed for the same object, new data will be
added.
However, by doing this the weak locations during dispose may be
invalidated once the weak locations lock is passed, so check again if
this is the case while removing them.
It can happen that a GWeakRef is added to an object while it's disposing
(or even during finalizing) and this may happen in a thread that (weak)
references an object while the disposal isn't completed yet or when
using toggle references and switching to GWeakRef on notification (as
the API suggests).
In such scenario the weak locations are not cleaned up when the object
is finalized, and will point to a free'd area.
So, during finalization and when we're sure that the object will be
destroyed for sure, check again if there are new weak locations and
unset them if any as part of the qdata destruction.
Do this adding a new utility function so that we can avoid duplicating
code to free the weak locations.
Added various tests simulating this case.
Fixes: #2390
This works in the same way as g_variant_take_ref(), and for the same
reason.

Include the base URI in the `g_test_bug()` calls instead. This resolves
inconsistencies between the old bug base (bugzilla.gnome.org) and the
new bug base (gitlab.gnome.org). It also has the advantage that the URI
passed to `g_test_bug()` is now clickable in the code editor, rather
than being split across two locations.

Convert all the call sites which use `g_memdup()`’s length argument
trivially (for example, by passing a `sizeof()`), so that they use
`g_memdup2()` instead.
In almost all of these cases the use of `g_memdup()` would not have
caused problems, but it will soon be deprecated, so best port away from
it.

This change was previously implemented in
9ba17d511e but got dropped during the
Python conversion of the Perl script.
See the commit message of this commit as well as
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=782162
for more information.
This patch also adds a new test so we don't loose this feature again.
Also adds a test that checks that the G_SIGNAL_RUN flags are handled
correctly and the class signal handler is called at the right times.

Add a test for a signal returning interface types, using
the generic marshaller. This will hopefully exercise newly
added code in value_from_ffi_type().
This tests the new functionality that
g_type_interface_instantiable_prerequisite
was added for.
Before the changes, this fails with
GObject-WARNING **: Unable to convert a value of type \
GObject to a value of type Foo
We do the same test with g_object_bind_property_with_closures
as well, to exercise g_cclosure_marshal_generic.
Use the new g_type_interface_instantiable_prerequisite() to check
compatibility for transform functions.
In particular, this allows interfaces (in my case GDK_TYPE_PAINTABLE) to
be transformed to/from any GObject type (in my case G_TYPE_OBJECT) using
the transform function registered to transform between any 2 objects
(g_value_object_transform_value() does a type check and uses NULL if the
types don't match).
And this in turn allows be to g_object_bind_property() a gobject-typed
generic property (GtkListItem::item) to a GtkImage::paintable.
Tests for the new functionality are included.
This function returns the most specific instantiatable type
that is a prerequisite for a given interface.
This type is necessary in particular when dealing with GValues
because a GValue contains an instance of a type.
This commit includes tests for the new API.
It may be defined by the environment (we document that as being allowed)
— if so, individual files should not try to redefine it, as that causes
a preprocessor warning.

The G_VALUE_NOCOPY_CONTENTS for strings can only be used when collecting them

This was mostly machine generated with the following command:
```
codespell \
--builtin clear,rare,usage \
--skip './po/*' --skip './.git/*' --skip './NEWS*' \
--write-changes .
```
using the latest git version of `codespell` as per [these
instructions](https://github.com/codespell-project/codespell#user-content-updating).
Then I manually checked each change using `git add -p`, made a few
manual fixups and dropped a load of incorrect changes.
There are still some outdated or loaded terms used in GLib, mostly to do
with git branch terminology. They will need to be changed later as part
of a wider migration of git terminology.

This adds support to be able to explicitely stored interned strings into
G_TYPE_STRING GValue.
This is useful for cases where the user:
* *knows* the string to be stored in the GValue is canonical
* Wants to know whther the string stored is canonical
This allows:
* zero-cost GValue copy (the content is guaranteed to be unique and exist
throughout the process life)
* zero-cost string equality checks (if both string GValue are interned, you just
need to check the pointers for equality or not, instead of doing a strcmp).
Fixes#2109
The glib-mkenums program allows generating code to handle enums/flags
with very different purposes. One of its purposes could be generating
per-enum/flag methods to be exposed in a library API, and while doing
that, it would be nice to have a way to specify in which API version
the enum/flag was introduced, so that the same version could be shown
in the generated API methods.
E.g. From the following code:
/**
* QmiWmsMessageProtocol:
* @QMI_WMS_MESSAGE_PROTOCOL_CDMA: CDMA.
* @QMI_WMS_MESSAGE_PROTOCOL_WCDMA: WCDMA.
*
* Type of message protocol.
*
* Since: 1.0
*/
typedef enum { /*< since=1.0 >*/
QMI_WMS_MESSAGE_PROTOCOL_CDMA = 0x00,
QMI_WMS_MESSAGE_PROTOCOL_WCDMA = 0x01
} QmiWmsMessageProtocol;
The template would allow us to generate a method documented like this,
including the Since tag with the value given in the mkenums 'since' tag.
/**
* qmi_wms_message_protocol_get_string:
* @val: a QmiWmsMessageProtocol.
*
* Gets the nickname string for the #QmiWmsMessageProtocol specified at @val.
*
* Returns: (transfer none): a string with the nickname, or %NULL if not found. Do not free the returned value.
* Since: 1.0

Making this validation code public allows projects to validate a
GParamSpec name before creating it. While hard-coded GParamSpec don't
need this, we can't afford crashing the main program for dynamically
generated GParamSpec from user-created data.
In such case, we will need to validate the param names and return errors
instead of trying to create a GParamSpec with invalid names.
Includes modifications from Philip Withnall and Emmanuele Bassi to
rearrange the new function addition and split it into one function for
GParamSpecs and one for GSignals.
