Many (if not "almost all") programs that spawn other programs via
g_spawn_sync() or the like simply want to check whether or not the
child exited successfully, but doing so requires use of
platform-specific functionality and there's actually a fair amount of
boilerplate involved.
This new API will help drain a *lot* of mostly duplicated code in
GNOME, from gnome-session to gdm. And we can see that some bits even
inside GLib were doing it wrong; for example checking the exit status
on Unix, but ignoring it on Windows.

GDBusConnection sets the closed flag in the worker thread, then adds an
idle callback (which refs the Connection) to signal this in the main
thread. The tests session_bus_down doesn't spin the mainloop, so the
"closed" signal will always fire if iterating the mainloop later (and
drops the ref when doing so). But _is_closed can return TRUE even before
signalling this, in which case the "closed" signal isn't fired and the
ref isn't dropped, causing the test to fail.
Instead simply always wait for the closed signal, which is a good thing
to check anyway and ensures the ref is closed.

When under load, a one second timeout is just not enough. This can be
observed by e.g. restarting a CPU- and IO-intensive application like a
web browser with many tabs while running the test cases. Therefore,
bump the timeouts to 30 seconds.

Turns out that GDBusWorker will issue callbacks (in its own thread)
even after g_dbus_worker_stop() has been called. This would rarely
happen (and unreffing a connection is even rarer) so only saw this bug
occasionally when running the gdbus-connection test case in a loop.
Fix up this issue by maintaining a set of GDBusConnection objects that
are currently "alive" and do nothing in the callbacks if the passed
user_data pointer is not in this set.
Also attempted to fix up a race condition with
_g_object_wait_for_single_ref_do() and its use of GObject toggle
references - for now, just resort to busy waiting, thereby
sidestepping the toggle reference mess altogether.

Allow modifying a GDBusMessage in a filter function and also add tests
for this. This breaks API but leaves ABI (almost) intact - at least
dconf's GSettings backend (the only big user I know of) will keep
working.

Bug #627187.
If sending a lot of data and/or the other peer is not reading it, then
socket buffers can overflow. This is communicated from the kernel by
returning EAGAIN. In GIO, it is modelled by g_output_stream_write()
and g_socket_send_message() returning G_IO_ERROR_WOULD_BLOCK.
It is also problematic that that we're using synchronous IO in the
shared GDBus IO thread. It means that one GDBusConnection can lock up
others.
It turns out that by porting from g_output_stream_write() to
g_output_stream_write_async() we fix the EAGAIN issue. For GSocket, we
still need to handle things manually (by creating a GSource) as
g_socket_send_message() is used.
We check the new behavior in Michael's producer/consumer test case (at
/gdbus/overflow in gdbus-peer.c) added in the last commit.
Also add a test case that sends and receives a 20 MiB message.
Also add a new `transport' G_DBUS_DEBUG option so it is easy to
inspect partial writes:
$ G_DBUS_DEBUG=transport ./gdbus-connection -p /gdbus/connection/large_message

Don't do too much work in the finalizer - in particular, there's no
need to send RemoveMatch() messages to the bus daemon since we're
going to sever the connection and the bus will garbage collect
anyway. In this case it crashed the process.
Also add a test case that checks that the appropriate GDestroyNotify
callbacks are called when unreffing a connection with either 1)
exported objects; 2) signal subscriptions or 3) filter functions
.. yes, ideally apps would unregister such callbacks before giving up
their ref but that's not how things work :-)

This is currently unused but might be useful in the future. For
example, it might be nice with a way to bypass the current queue of
outgoing messages - having a flag enumeration allows us to add a
G_DBUS_SEND_MESSAGE_FLAGS_BYPASS_QUEUE etc. etc.
This commit breaks ABI and API. Users of the (rarely used) API to send
messages will have to port to this new API.

Allow constructing a GDBusProxy for well-known names as discussed here
http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gtk-devel-list/2009-October/msg00075.html
including test cases.
Make it possible to create a GDBusProxy for a GBusType instead of a
GDBusConnection. This requires G_BUS_TYPE_NONE so add that too.
Nuke g_bus_watch_proxy() since one can now more or less use GDBusProxy
for this.
Port gdbus-example-watch-proxy to this new API and include this
example in the GDBusProxy doc page.
Also nuke the GType parameter from the GDBusProxy constructors as
requested here: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=621229
Also update the porting guide and other API docs for this change.
Also fix a bug in the signal dispatching code so each subscriber only
get notified once, not N times, for the same signal. Also add a test
case for this.

This allows the caller to specify the reply type that they are expecting
for this call. If the reply comes back with the wrong type, GDBus will
generate an appropriate error internally.
- add a GVariantType * argument to g_dbus_connection_call() and
_call_sync().
- move the internal API for computing message types from introspection
data to be based on GVariantType instead of strings. Update users
of this code.
- have GDBusProxy pass this calculated GVariantType into
g_dbus_connection_call(). Remove the checks done in GDBusProxy.
- Update other users of the code (test cases, gdbus-tool, GSettings
tool, etc). In some cases, remove redundant checks; in some other
cases, we are fixing bugs because no checking was done where it
should have been.
Closes bug #619391.
Lots of people been suggesting this. We still use MethodInvocation /
method_invocation for handling incoming method calls so use call()
instead of invoke_method() helps to separate the client and server
facilities. Which is a good thing(tm).
Things compile and the test-suite passes. Still need to hook up
gio.symbols and docs. There are still a bunch of TODOs left in the
sources that needs to be addressed.
