It allows to disconnect a signal handler from GObject instance and at the same
time to nullify the signal handler.
Provided also a macro for handler type conversion.
Some of these have a negative master/slave connotation, and they add no
value. Change or drop them.

Those lists were getting very long. We can’t quite entirely automate the
list generation since Meson doesn’t have a range() function, but we can
at least combine three of them into one.

So long, and thanks for everything. We’re a Meson-only shop now.
glib-2-58 will remain the last stable GLib release series which is
buildable using autotools.
We continue to install autoconf macros for autotools-using projects
which depend on GLib; they are stable API.

They should either be generated at build time, or ignored completely,
depending on the presence of --[enable|disable]-man.

The tool was ported to Python, but we should not mention the programming
language used, in case we port it to some other language in the distant
future.
Weak-pointers are currently lacking g_set_object() & g_clear_object()
helpers equivalent. New functions (and macros, both are provided) are
convenient in many case, especially for the property's notify-on-set
pattern:
if (g_set_weak_pointer (...))
g_object_notify (...)
Inspired by Christian Hergert's original implementation for
gnome-builder.

The example code defines an interface with three methods. The preceding text
reads 'This interface defines two methods'. This appears to be because the
example code was changed without updating the surrounding text.

We should show how to properly use glib-mkenums with Autotools, in
the hope that fewer people will be caught cargo-culting rules written
in the late '90s.

We should show how to properly use glib-genmarshal with Autotools, in

By default, only build man pages and gtk-doc if the build-deps were
found. To force-enable, pass -Dwith-docs=yes and -Dwith-man=yes.
Also use a foreach loop for man pages instead of listing them all
manually
We're in the process or rewriting other tools in Python to reduce the
number of dependencies of GLib.
Additionally, making glib-genmarshal a Python script reduces the
complexity when cross-compiling, as we don't need a native build to
generate the marshallers.

It's unnecessary, and only adds visual noise; we have been fairly
inconsistent in the past, but the semi-colon-less version clearly
dominates in the code base.
