I’ve finally found the right place in the docs to put this stuff.
This doesn’t auto-link this section from every string in the GLib
documentation, but I think that at this point (with gtk-doc in
maintenance mode, and gi-docgen not fully applied to GLib) I don’t think
we can do any better. The perfect is the enemy of the good, and having
this stuff documented somewhere means that someone can link to it from
multiple places in future *somehow*.

Apparently 3 hashes is too many, and as a result this line is not
displayed properly in the HTML documentation. 2 hashes seems to be
just right, as can be seen with:
$ git grep '^ \* ##' | wc -l

$ git grep '^ \* ###' | wc -l

The gio/tests/socket-client.c doesn't use GSocketClient, which makes the
filename confusing. What the file actually tests is the GSocket. Rename
it to socket-testclient.c
The corresponding GSocket server test file naming doesn't conflict with other
class names, but rename it to socket-testserver.c for consistency.
Closes#2855
Otherwise it might look like it would only start spawning threads when

By default, if a host environment has the `rst2html5` application
available, builds will automatically perform some HTML documentation
generation from the documentation's glib reference content (e.g.
creating `gvariant-specification-1.0.html`). The creation of this
documentation is not required for all use cases.
This commit tweaks the building of the HTML-based GLIB specification
document to be guarded by `gtk_doc`.

Most of the document was about traps, which have not existed since
commit 58cdf0b474, 10 years ago.
The rest of the document was about `GOBJECT_DEBUG`, and that information
would be more easily findable in the full GObject documentation — so
move it there and update it a bit.

The file was not listed in `POTFILES.in` (as pointed out by Piotr Drąg
in
fee0a7679a (note_1722885)),
so either it needs to be added to `POTFILES.in` or the translatable
strings need to be removed.
Recent prior art from GTK shows that there’s actually no longer any
point in setting the nick/blurb as no tools use them (and if they did,
it would result in a rubbish user experience). See
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/-/issues/4904.
Hence, drop the strings entirely.
See #2991 for tracking this across all of GIO.

If you’re only quickly looking at the API signature, it looks like
`item_free_func` will be called for all items enqueued to the thread
pool.
As it happens, it’s actually only called for the items which are still
enqueued when the thread pool is destroyed. The user’s `GFunc` is
responsible for freeing items which are successfully dequeued and
processed during the lifetime of the thread pool.
That’s a bit of a gotcha, so document it more explicitly.

If a timeout executes on the same main context iteration as completion
or cancellation of a resolver lookup, `has_returned` will be set
multiple times. That’s fine (the `GCond` will be notified multiple
times, but that’s fine). It was triggering an incorrect assertion, so
remove that.
Signed-off-by: Philip Withnall <pwithnall@endlessos.org>
The default for the class is still to have no timeout, but it seems more
practical for most use cases to set a non-infinite timeout on the
default resolver.
If applications have a more specific use case, they can change the
timeout or replace the default resolver.

If `async_cancel()` was invoked, it would remove the IO watch source,
which would cause the `g_source_remove()` call at the end of `main()` to
warn about an unknown source ID.
Fix that by handling the source as a pointer instead of a handle.

Rather than running lookups in the global shared thread pool belonging
to `GTask`, run them in a private thread pool.
This is needed because the global shared thread pool is constrained to
only 14 threads. If there are 14 ongoing calls to
`g_task_run_in_thread()` from any library/code in the process, and then
one of them asks to do a DNS lookup, the lookup will block forever.
Under certain circumstances, particularly where there are a couple of
deep chains of dependent tasks running with `g_task_run_in_thread()`,
this can livelock the program.
Since `GResolver` is likely to be called as a frequent leaf call in
certain workloads, and in particular there are likely to be several
lookups requested at the same time, it makes sense to move resolver
lookups to a private thread pool.

This will make it simpler to handle timeouts and cancellation in future,
as all the logic for working out whether to return will all be in one
place, and all the lookup-specific code is now implemented in simple
sync functions which don’t need to care about `GTask`s.
This commit introduces no functional changes, it’s just setting up for
the following commit.

This introduces no functional changes, but will make a reorganisation of
the code simpler in the next commit.
Rather than dealing with three different closure types, this changes the
code to deal with one which is a tagged union of the three.

The class and its header are not public, so this should not be an API or
ABI break.
This just simplifies the code a little and allows for easy extension of
the object’s private data in future commits.

Without a timeout, some lookup requests can go on forever, typically due
to bugs in underlying systems.
This can have particularly significant effects on the Happy Eyeballs
algorithm in `GSocketClient`, which relies on multiple name lookups as
its first step.

Track the `GTask`s which are still alive (not finalised) in a shared
list, and provide a secret debugging function for printing that list.
Too often when debugging apps, I have found that a ‘leaked’ object is
actually still (validly) referenced by an ongoing `GTask` which hasn’t
completed for whatever reason. Or I have found that an operation has
obviously stalled, but there are no pointers available to the `GTask`
which is stalled, because it’s being tracked as a collection of closure
pointers from some `GSource` which is hard to get to in the debugger.
It will be very useful for debugging apps, if there’s a list of all the
still alive `GTask`s somewhere. This is that list.
The code is disabled if `G_ENABLE_DEBUG` is not defined, to avoid every
`GTask` construction/finalisation imposing a global locking penalty.
To use the new list, break in `gdb` while running your app, and call
`g_task_print_alive_tasks()`, or inspect the `task_list` manually:
```
(gdb) print g_task_print_alive_tasks()
16:44:17:788 GLib-GIO 5 GTasks still alive:

It’s not produced anything but false positives for several years now,
and it would be better to save the CI/analysis/triage resources and
instead focus on `scan_build` reports, which generally seem to be more
useful.
