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.
Rather than using a mixture of ‘instantiable’ and ‘instantiatable’
everywhere, standardise on the term which is already in the public API.

For legacy reasons, Meson's gtk-doc helper script launches the
gtkdoc-mkhtml tool in the `html` directory under the build root. This
means that all paths must be relative to that location.
g_has_typeof macro is wrongly in the public g_ namespace, internaly
symbols are usually in the glib_ namespace. This will also allow to
define glib_typeof differently on non-GNUC compilers (e.g. c++11
decltype).
GLib uses NULL-terminated string arrays (GStrv) in a number of places, however
these are quite hard to construct in C when the number of elements is not known
in advance. GStrvBuilder wraps GPtrArray to make these easy to create with
type safety and does the memory management for you.
By default, when using g_subprocess_launcher_take_fd() to pass an
FD to a child, the GSubprocessLauncher object also takes ownership
of the FD in the parent, and closes it during finalize(). This is
a reasonable assumption in the majority of the cases, but sometimes
it isn't a good idea.
An example is when creating a GSubprocessLauncher in JavaScript:
here, the destruction process is managed by the Garbage Collector,
which means that those sockets will remain opened for some time
after all the references to the object has been droped. This means
that it could be not possible to detect when the child has closed
that same FD, because in order to make that work, both FDs
instances (the one in the parent and the one in the children) must
be closed. This can be a problem in, as an example, a process that
launches a child that communicates with Wayland using an specific
socket (like when using the new API MetaWaylandClient).
Of course, it isn't a valid solution to manually call close() in
the parent process just after the call to spawn(), because the FD
number could be reused in the time between it is manually closed,
and when the object is destroyed and closes again that FD. If that
happens, it will close an incorrect FD.
One solution could be to call run_dispose() from Javascript on the
GSubprocessLauncher object, to force freeing the resources.
Unfortunately, the current code frees them in the finalize()
method, not in dispose() (this is fixed in !1670 (merged) ) but it
isn't a very elegant solution.
This proposal adds a new method, g_subprocess_launcher_close(),
that allows to close the FDs passed to the child. To avoid problems,
after closing an FD with this method, no more spawns are allowed.

This allows programs that want to change how log messages are printed,

GLib code normally prints info and debug messages to stdout,
but that interferes with programs that are documented to produce
machine-readable output such as JSON or XML on stdout. In particular,
if such a program uses a GLib-based library, setting G_MESSAGES_DEBUG
will typically result in that library's debug messages going to the
program's stdout and corrupting the machine-readable output.
Unix programs can avoid this by using dup2() to move the original stdout
to another fd, then dup2() again to make the new stdout a copy of stderr,
but it's easier if we provide a way to not write debug messages to
stdout in the first place. Calling
g_log_writer_default_set_use_stderr (TRUE) results in behaviour
resembling Python's logging.basicConfig(), with all diagnostics going
to stderr.

The basic API that this commit adds allows in-order iterating over a GTree.
For this the following API were implemented or exported:
1) Returning the first or the last node in the tree,
2) Taking a pointer to a node in the tree and returning the previous or the
next in-order node,
3) Allowing to do a binary search for a particular key value and returning
the pointer to its node,
4) Returning the newly inserted or set node from both insert and replace
functions, so this node is immediately available and does not have to be
looked up,
5) Traversing the tree in-order providing a node pointer to the
caller-provided traversal function.
Most of the above functions were already present in the code, but they
returned the value that is stored at a particular node instead of the
pointer to the node itself.
So most of the code for these new API calls is shared with these existing
ones, just adapted to return the pointer to the node.
Additionally, the so called "lower bound" and "upper bound" operations
were implemented.
The first one returns the first element that is greater than or equal to
the searched key, while the second returns the first element that is
strictly greater than the searched key.

Expose a function that prepares an attribute query string to be passed
to g_file_query_info() to get a list of attributes normally copied with
the file. This function is used by the implementation of
g_file_copy_attributes, and it's useful if one needs to split
g_file_copy_attributes into two stages, for example, when nautilus does
a recursive move of a directory. When files are moved from the source
directory, its modification time changes. To preserve the mtime on the
destination directory, it has to be queried before moving files and set
after doing it, hence these two stages.

Like G_SOURCE_REMOVE and G_SOURCE_CONTINUE, these make it clearer what
it means to return TRUE or FALSE.
In particular, in GDBus methods that fail, the failure case still needs
to return TRUE (unlike the typical GError pattern), leading to comments
like this:
g_dbus_method_invocation_return_error (invocation, ...);
return TRUE; /* handled */
which can now be replaced by:
g_dbus_method_invocation_return_error (invocation, ...);
return G_DUS_METHOD_INVOCATION_HANDLED;
G_DBUS_METHOD_INVOCATION_UNHANDLED is added for symmetry, but is very
rarely (perhaps never?) useful in practice.

There is already g_unix_mount_at function which allows to find certain
unix mount for given mount path. It would be useful to have similar
function for mount points, which will allow to replace custom codes in
gvfs. Let's add g_unix_mount_point_at.
This is a new version of the g_file_set_contents() API which will allow
its safety to be controlled by some flags, allowing the user to choose
their preferred tradeoff between safety (`fsync()` calls) and speed.
Currently, the flags do nothing and the new API behaves like the old

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).

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.

The public functions exposed as static inlines currently don't have
annotations to describe when they were introduced. This means that
compiling this file:
#include <glib.h>
void foo (void)
{
g_rec_mutex_locker_new (NULL);
}
with:
gcc -c test.c \
-I/tmp/glib/include/glib-2.0 \
-I/tmp/glib/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/glib-2.0/include \
-Werror \
-DGLIB_VERSION_MAX_ALLOWED=GLIB_VERSION_2_28 \
-DGLIB_VERSION_MIN_REQUIRED=GLIB_VERSION_2_28
will not produce any error message, despite using
`g_rec_mutex_locker_new`, a function that was introduced after 2.28.
This patch adds some annotations to all the publicly exposed static
inline functions I could find.
I could not use the existing G_AVAILABLE* macros, because they may
expand to `extern`. This would then clash with the `static` keyword and
produce:
../glib/gthread.h:397:1: error: multiple storage classes in declaration specifiers
397 | static inline GRecMutexLocker *
| ^~~~~~
So I opted for adding a new set of macros,
GLIB_AVAILABLE_STATIC_INLINE_IN_2_XY.
With this patch applied, the example from above produces the expected
warning:
test.c: In function ‘foo’:
test.c:5:3: error: ‘g_rec_mutex_locker_new’ is deprecated: Not available before 2.60 [-Werror=deprecated-declarations]

In cases where performance are critical it can be useful to disable

This reverts commit b6d8efbebc.
This GLib API is good, but the implentation is not ready, so there's no
reason to commit to the API in GLib 2.64. We can reland again when the
implementation is ready.
There are three problems: (a) The glib-networking implementation normally
works, but the test has been broken for a long time. I'm not comfortable
with adding a major new feature without a working test. This is
glib-networking#104. (b) The WebKit implementation never landed. There
is a working patch, but it hasn't been accepted upstream yet. This API
isn't needed in GLib until WebKit is ready to start using it.
https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=200805. (c) Similarly, even if
the WebKit API was ready, that itself isn't useful until an application
is ready to start using it, and the Epiphany level work never happened.
Let's try again for GLib 2.66. Reverting this commit now just means we
gain another six months before committing to the API forever. No reason
to keep this in GLib 2.64 when nothing is using it yet.
Now that we require Meson 0.52 to build the doc, we can also pull
gtk-doc as subproject when missing from the system. This requires
to pull gtk-doc master because needed changes there haven't been release
yet.
This has the side effect of always rebuilding the doc at each build when
gtk_doc option is enabled (not by default). Most importantly, this will
enable doc check on our CI.
This reverts commit 398c048c66.
It got removed because it used to cause build issues, but now that we
have a CI let's hope it won't be a problem any more.
This complements the `--glib-min-required` argument, just like the
`GLIB_MIN_REQUIRED` and `GLIB_MAX_ALLOWED` preprocessor defines which

Currently the code generated by gdbus-codegen uses
G_DBUS_CALL_FLAGS_NONE in its D-Bus calls, which occur for each method
defined by the input XML, and for proxy_set_property functions. This
means that if the daemon which implements the methods checks for
G_DBUS_FLAGS_ALLOW_INTERACTIVE_AUTHORIZATION and only does interactive
authorization if that flag is present, users of the generated code have
no way to cause the daemon to use interactive authorization (e.g. polkit
dialogs).
If we simply changed the generated code to always use
G_DBUS_FLAGS_ALLOW_INTERACTIVE_AUTHORIZATION, its users would have no
way to disallow interactive authorization (except for manually calling
the D-Bus method themselves).
So instead, this commit adds a GDBusCallFlags argument to method call
functions. Since this is an API break which will require changes in
projects using gdbus-codegen code, the change is conditional on the
command line argument --glib-min-version having the value 2.64 or
higher.
The impetus for this change is that I'm changing accountsservice to
properly respect G_DBUS_FLAGS_ALLOW_INTERACTIVE_AUTHORIZATION, and
libaccountsservice uses generated code for D-Bus method calls. So
these changes will allow libaccountsservice to continue allowing
interactive authorization, and avoid breaking any users of it which
expect that. See
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/accountsservice/accountsservice/merge_requests/46
It might make sense to also let GDBusCallFlags be specified for property
set operations, but that is not needed in the case of accountsservice,
and would require significant work and breaking API in multiple places.
Similarly, the generated code currently hard codes -1 as the timeout
value when calling g_dbus_proxy_call*(). Add a timeout_msec argument so
the user of the generated code can specify the timeout as well.
Also, test this new API. In gio/tests/codegen.py we test that the new
arguments are generated if and only of --glib-min-version is used with a
value greater than or equal to 2.64, and in gio/tests/meson.build we
test that the generated code with the new API can be linked against.
The test_unix_fd_list() test also needed modification to continue
working now that we're using gdbus-test-codegen.c with code generated
with --glib-min-version=2.64 in one test.
Finally, update the docs for gdbus-codegen to explain the effect of
using --glib-min-version 2.64, both from this commit and from
"gdbus-codegen: Emit GUnixFDLists if an arg has type `h` w/
min-version".
This reverts commit 398c048c66.
It got removed because it used to cause build issues, but now that we
have a CI let's hope it won't be a problem any more.
This can be used by callers to opt-in to backwards-incompatible changes
to the behaviour or output of `gdbus-codegen` in future. This commit
doesn’t introduce any such changes, though.
