Neither the new nftw()-based rm_rf() implementation, nor the fallback
implementation, should fail the test if there is an error during cleanup
of the directory tree. And the output on stderr that the nftw()-based
implementation emits should not interfere with Meson parsing the TAP
stream on stdout.
The test is run in a subprocess so that we can clean up after ourselves.
Previously, when cleaning up the temporary directory tree created by
passing G_TEST_OPTION_ISOLATE_DIRS, any symbolic links in that tree
would be followed recursively. If the test case has created a symbolic
link in its temporary directory to a directory outside that tree, this
could lead to unexpected data loss; in particular, if the test case
author has (unwisely) created a symbolic link to /, they could lose all
data on the system.
On systems that have the ftw.h header, replace the current rm_rf()
implementation with one that uses nftw() to perform a depth-first
traversal (FTW_DEPTH) without following symbolic links (FTW_PHYS), and
without crossing mount points (FTW_MOUNT) in case a test has mounted
some other filesystem in the temporary directory.
The callback logs any error to the standard error stream, but returns 0
rather than -1 to allow nftw() to keep walking the tree rather than
terminating immediately. Suppose we are trying to clean up the following
tree:
tmpdir/
a/
f/ (directory not readable for some reason)
g/
p
b/
c
d
Since tmpdir/a/f is not readable, we can expect to fail to delete
tmpdir/a/f, tmpdir/a and tmpdir; but it is preferable to (attempt) to
delete the rest of the tree rather than failing outright. The cost is
that three errors will be logged (for tmpdir/a/f, tmpdir/a and tmpdir).
nftw() is part of POSIX.1-2001, SUSv1, and glibc ≥ 2.1, so should be
available on effectively every platform except Windows. (And Windows
does not enable symbolic links by default so the developer error is less
likely to occur there.)
The macOS ftw(3) manpage says:
> These functions are provided for compatibility with legacy code. New
> code should use the fts(3) functions.
fts(3) does not seem to be part of any standard, but it does seem to be
equally widely supported. The Linux manpages do not indicate that
nftw() is deprecated.

When not logged in, the New Issue URL only redirects to an unhelpful
login page while the Issues page allows you to search for existing
issues and still offers a "New Issue" button.
For historical reasons, some doc blocks are included in an ancillary
file. Add it to the list of sources parsed by g-ir-scanner, to increase
the coverage of various macros.
Fixes: #3372
- Do not refer to people’s expectation, they can wildly differ.
- Do not link to `strcompress`, that confusingly does not support `\a`. Link Wikipedia instead.
- Reiterate the C escape sequences from string section, they are not that many.
- Mention escaping newline and other characters (also copied from string section).
- Mention Unicode escapes not being supported to contrast with strings.
GVariant Text Format section on bytestrings links to `g_strcompress`
but what it does was only briefly described in the header file,
which is not visible in the gi-docgen-built reference. To really
find out one would have to guess to continue through the rabbit hole
to `g_strescape`.
Let’s merge the description from the header and elaborate on it a bit.
Saying that it inserts a backslash before special character is incorrect
for anything but a double quote and backslash itself. Instead, it replaces
the special characters with a C escape sequence.
Let’s fix that and also make it less C focused by using Unicode names
of the characters instead of assuming everyone knows C escape sequences
by heart.
Now sysprof can be enabled by default in distros that use
-Dauto_features=enabled or for developers who already have sysprof
installed, while it's still disabled for developers who do not have
sysprof installed. See #3354
Now systemtap can be enabled by default in distros that use
-Dauto_features=enabled or for developers who already have systemtap
installed, while it's still disabled for developers who do not have
systemtap installed. See #3354
Now dtrace can be enabled by default in distros that use
-Dauto_features=enabled or for developers who already have dtrace
installed, while it's still disabled for developers who do not have
dtrace installed. See #3354
While backporting CVE-2024-34397 fixes I noticed that this comment
claimed that the reference count is immutable after construction, which
is clearly not true. In fact the reference count is the only
mutable field.

To avoid adding a large block of macros to gdbusprivate.h, I've only
added a subset of the well-known error names. I chose to draw the
line by adding constants for the errors emitted via their string names
in GDBusConnection, but not for error names that are only mentioned
in `gdbuserror.c` or in tests.

Most D-Bus interfaces are domain-specific, but these interfaces from the
D-Bus Specification are intended to be commonly used in any context for
which they are found to be appropriate.
Most of these use `gdbusprivate.h`. One exception is that
`gio/tests/gdbus-example-*` redefine the constants locally: due to these
files' dual role as part of the unit tests and as sample code, it seems
desirable to ensure that they can still be compiled outside GLib.

These well-known flags and replies are part of the D-Bus Specification,
and also exist with the same names in libdbus header files.
Moving them into a private header means that unit tests like
gdbus-proxy-threads and gdbus-subscribe don't have to reinvent them.

Unlike the various functions to call D-Bus methods, these sort their
arguments in a non-obvious order (bus name, interface, signal, path),
presumably aiming to sort the most-likely-to-be-used arguments first.

These function arguments are arranged in the obvious order from
conceptually largest to smallest: (bus name, path, interface, method).

This test was subscribing to the NameOwnerChanged signal with an
incorrect object path, so the callback would never be called. In this
particular case it doesn't actually matter, because the callback does
nothing anyway (the purpose of this particular test was to test that
the user-data is freed on unsubscription).

It's just better than a list of strings for various reasons, but mostly
here it allows also to avoid copying the lists but making the
ownership clearer through references
In this way the module can survive without that the parser is fully
alive.
At the moment a module has not a ref-count system, but this makes things
clearer when we return the module from a parser.
In case the node was pushed to a non-empty node stack, then we were not
tracking it in the entries list, and so nothing was freeing it on
destruction.
As per this, once parsing is done, we can free it or we'd leak.
