GSettings XML schema files are installed in a well known directory
under Glib's installation directory: `glib-2.0/schemas`. However,
the Glib installation directory might vary, so the exact location of
the schema files might be unknown.
The information regarding this directory has been added to GIO's
pkg-config file, so it can be checked, and also overrided, by using
the command line utility.
This eliminates some ‘discards const qualifier’ warnings when compiling
on Solaris with --enable-dtrace.

Since we now require a C99 compatible printf and use gnulib on Windows,
we also mark our printf functions as gnu_printf. GCC complains about the
Windows specific I64 specifiers we still write to glibconfig.h with the
autotools build.
To fix this switch all I64(x) to ll(x).
This also makes the glibconfig.h output for those macros match the ones
we get when using meson.
__int64 was the 64bit type for Visual Studio before it added support for
"long long" with VS2013. I think this was used to build glib with mingw and
make the result usable for VS 6.0 which didn't support "long long" (??)
Given that newer MSVC links against a different crt and mixing is not supported
and everything supports "long long" nowadays just remove it.
This is also a cleanup for printf format changes needed for #1497
The goal of this commit is to reduce differences between the autotools and meson build.
With autotools AC_FUNC_ALLOCA was used which defines HAVE_ALLOCA_H, HAVE_ALLOCA,
C_ALLOCA. meson tried to replicate that with has_function() but alloca can be a macro
and and is named _alloca under Windows. Since we require a working alloca anyway
and only need to know if the header exists replace AC_FUNC_ALLOCA with a simple
AC_CHECK_HEADERS.
There is still one user of HAVE_ALLOCA in the embedded gnulib, but since alloca is
always provided through galloca.h just force define HAVE_ALLOCA there and add a comment.
The docs were mentioning alloca as an example for cross compiling. Since that variable no
longer exists now replace it with another one.
The source callback for a GCancellable should have the cancellable itself
as first argument.
This was not the case, and when this code was hit, we were instead trying
to treat the pointer as a CommunicateState reference and thus wrongly
deferencing it, causing a memory error and a crash.
Some Testing revealed encoding resource data with string
escape codes to compile significantly quicker compared
to the same data encoded as an array with hexadecimal numbers.
See #1489
This is a follow-up to commit 614adf8a75,
which started generating two new files as part of the test; they need to
be cleaned up before distcheck will pass.
Ideally, the test should run a temporary directory and wipe that
directory itself before exiting, but that’s a bit of a big change to
make right now. Deferred to

The new typeof() macro version of g_clear_pointer() was evaluating its
pointer argument more than once, meaning any side effects would be
evaluated multiple times.
The existing (other) macro version of g_clear_pointer() was evaluating
its argument exactly once. This mismatch could have confused people or
lead to subtle bugs.

These functions may be OK to leave the G_GNUC_MALLOC attribute on,
because the only valid pointers in the storage areas they return are,
themselves, new pointers.
However, it’s a lot easier to remove the attributes now than to try and
diagnose miscompilations in future. The performance impact of this is
likely to be unmeasurable. If there are performance problems caused by
this, then they can be profiled and fixed case-by-case in future,
bearing in mind the possibility for miscompilation if G_GNUC_MALLOC is
readded.

Thanks to some great investigation by Benjamin Moody, it’s clear that
our documentation and usage of G_GNUC_MALLOC has fallen behind GCC’s
interpretation of the malloc attribute, meaning that recent versions of
GCC could miscompile code which uses G_GNUC_MALLOC incorrectly.
Update the documentation of G_GNUC_MALLOC to match the current GCC
documentation (for GCC 8.2). Following commits will drop our use of
G_GNUC_MALLOC from inappropriate functions.
Specifically, the change in GCC’s interpretation of the malloc attribute
which could cause miscompilation is that returned storage areas are now
assumed to not contain valid pointers — so realloc() cannot have the
malloc attribute, and neither can a function which returns a newly
allocated structure with fields initialised to other pointers.

Clarify that we actually raise SIGTRAP rather than calling abort(). We
haven’t called abort() since about 2011, when commit
a04efe6afb changed the logic to use
SIGTRAP to make it possible to skip past fatal log messages in the
debugger if they weren’t relevant to the problem being debugged.

Check for compile warnings when assigning an int64_t* to a long*,
make gint64 a long long if they occur and assigning an int64_t* to
a long long* doesn't.
Modified by Philip Withnall <withnall@endlessm.com> to support Meson as
well as autotools.

The size of stat depends on various macros on Windows which leads to
the problem of size mismatches when glib is built with a different configuration
than a program using it.
For example the autotools build defaults to _FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 and a program
not defining _FILE_OFFSET_BITS will allocate a too small struct on the stack,
leading to stack corruption when glib writes to it.
To make the size the user sees always match the default mingw build define GStatBuf
as _stat64 (same as _FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64) under mingw+64bit.
In file gio/gtestdbus.c, function watch_parent, there is a loop which
waits for commands sent from the parent process and kills all processes
recorded in 'pids_to_kill' array on parent process exit. The detection
of parent process exit is done by calling g_poll and checking whether
the returned event is G_IO_HUP. However, 'revents' is a bit mask, and
we should use a bitwise-AND check instead of the equality check here.
It seems to work fine on Linux, but it fails on FreeBSD because the
g_poll returns both G_IO_IN and G_IO_HUP on pipe close. This means the
watcher process continues waiting for commands after the parent process
exit, and g_io_channel_read_line returns G_IO_STATUS_EOF with 'command'
set to NULL. Then the watcher process crashes with segfault when calling
sscanf because 'command' is NULL. Since the test result is already
reported by the parent process as 'OK', this kind of crash is likely to
be unnoticed unless someone checks dmesg messages after the test:

If the watcher process crashes before killing the dbus-daemon process
spawned by the parent process, the dbus-daemon process will keep running
after all tests complete. Due to the implementation of 'communicate'
function in Python subprocess, it causes meson to crash. 'communicate'
assumes the stdout and stderr pipes are closed when the child process
exits, but it is not true if processes forked by the child process
doesn't exit. It causes Python subprocess 'communicate' function to
block on the call to poll until the timeout expires even if the test
finishes in a few seconds. Meson assumes the timeout exception always
means the test is still running. It calls 'communicate' again and
crashes because pipes no longer exist.
