We want to add the support for the activation token, to get it we use
`g_app_launch_context_get_startup_notify_id` which takes a list of
files, so that we don't have to create a GFile twice simply change the
signature of the functions. Fortunately this isn't a public API.
Some callers of `g_ascii_strtoull()` and similar functions assume that
they can use this pattern, similar to what they might do for
Standard C `strtoull()`:
errno = 0;
result = g_ascii_strtoull (nptr, endptr, base);
saved_errno = errno;
if (saved_errno != 0)
g_printerr ("error parsing %s\n", nptr);
This is based on the fact that it is non-trivial to tell whether
`strtoull()` and related functions succeeded (in which case the value
of `errno` is unspecified) or failed (in which case `errno` is valid).
For example, POSIX `strtoul(3)` suggests this pattern:
> Since 0, `ULONG_MAX`, and `ULLONG_MAX` are returned on error and are
> also valid returns on success, an application wishing to check for
> error situations should set `errno` to 0, then call `strtoul()` or
> `strtoull()`, then check `errno`.
However, `g_ascii_strtoull()` does not *only* call a function resembling
`strtoull()` (`strtoull_l()` or its reimplementation
`g_parse_long_long()`): it also calls `get_C_locale()`, which wraps
`newlocale()`. Even if `newlocale()` succeeds (which in practice we
expect and assume that it will), it is valid for it to clobber `errno`.
For example, it might attempt to open a file that only conditionally
exists, which would leave `errno` set to `ENOENT`.
This is difficult to reproduce in practice: I encountered what I
believe to be this bug when compiling GLib-based software for i386 in a
Debian 12 derivative via an Open Build Service instance, but I could
not reproduce the bug in a similar chroot environment locally, and I
also could not reproduce the bug when compiling for x86_64 or for a
Debian 10, 11 or 13 derivative on the same Open Build Service instance.
It also cannot be reproduced via the GTest framework, because
`g_test_init()` indirectly calls `g_ascii_strtoull()`, resulting in
the call to `newlocale()` already having happened by the time we enter
test code.

This file doesn’t contain any real implementation, it just call the
`impl` functions from the platform-specific files
`gcontenttype-{fdo,osx,win32}.[cm]`.
It serves as a location for the doc comments, introspection annotations
and API preconditions, and will be built on every platform. In
particular, this means that we get consistent GIR output for the
`g_content_type_*()` APIs regardless of whether GLib was built on Linux or
Windows or macOS.

This reflects its status as actually platform-dependent: it’s only built
on systems using the freedesktop.org content type system.
It makes the file naming match up with other platform-specific
implementations, such as `gcontenttype-win32.c` and
`gcontenttype-osx.m`.
A subsequent commit will introduce a platform-independent high level API
wrapper so that the introspection annotations from this file can be
reused between platforms.

Previously, some of the doc comments for platform-independent APIs were
in `gdesktopappinfo.c`, which is only built on Unix systems. This meant
the introspection annotations for those APIs were not used on non-Unix
systems, which caused platform differences in `Gio-2.0.gir`.
So, move those doc comments to `gappinfo.c` and put them next to some
new platform-independent wrapper functions which provide a consistent
entry point and location for the API preconditions.

Move various doc/introspection comments from `gthread-posix.c` (which is
platform-specific) to `gthread.c` (which is not). Having the
introspection annotations and doc comments in a platform-independent
file means that they are seen by the build process on all platforms, and
we don’t end up with unintrospectable APIs on some platforms, or
platform-specific annotation differences.

On g_cancellable_cancel() we were increasing the GCancellable ref count
before emitting the ::cancelled signal, this is a safe thing to do but
it was happening while the cancellable was locked, and this may have
potentially waken up some toggle notifications.
To prevent this, reference the GCancellable just before locking.
GCancellable is meant to be used in multi-thread operations but all the
cancellable instances were sharing a single mutex to synchronize them
which can be less optimal when many instances are in place.
Especially when we're doing a lock/unlock dances that may leave another
thread to take the control of a critical section in an unexpected way.
This in fact was leading to some races in GCancellableSources causing
leaks because we were assuming that the "cancelled" callback was always
called before our dispose implementation.
As per this, use per-instance mutexes.
The lock is also now used only to protect the calls that may interact
with cancelled state or that depends on that, as per this we can just
reduce it to the cancel and reset case, other than to the connect one to
prevent the race that we could have when connecting to a cancellable
that is reset from another thread.
We don't really need to release the locks during callbacks now as they
are per instance, and there's really no function that we allowed to call
during a ::cancelled signal callback that may require an unlocked state.
This could been done in case with a recursive lock, that is easy enough
to implement but not really needed for this case.

These rules are not new, they’ve been around for a long time and are
needed to allow introspection machinery to be able to work reliably and
deterministically.
Unfortunately, they have not been documented canonically in one place
before.

Using G_STATIC_ASSERT in headers which are introspected currently
requires guarding them behind `#ifndef __GI_SCANNER__` which is really
annoying. We can just define the macros to be noops in a way that the
scanner doesn't trip over them.

They are guarded for the GI Scanner right now even though they should be
fine to expose and they are used in macros that are not guarded for the
GI Scanner.

It's gio-windows-2.0.pc, not gio-win32-2.0.pc.
Otherwise, we get warnings/errors where the package cannot be located
but since we are linking to the same GIO library file, this did not
manifest itself.
Currently, the trash functionality is disabled for system internal mounts.
That might be a problem in some cases. The `x-gvfs-notrash` mount option
allows disabling the trash functionality for certain mounts. Let's add
support for the `x-gvfs-trash` mount option to allow the opposite.

* Create a dark-mode variant of each traversal diagram, with the
traversal path colorized `--primary` blue, instead of the original
black.
* Apply the same colorizations to the light-mode diagrams, but
using the light-theme `--primary` blue.
* Add SPDX license/copyright comments to all eight SVG files.
* Add new files to documentation configs in `glib.toml.in`.
* Update documentation comment in `gnode.c` to embed both color
variants via picture tags, instead of markdown image embeds.
* Add alt text to all four images.
* Add additional blank lines to documentation comment, so that
a. First item in bulleted list does not get folded into
preceding intro paragraph
b. Intro paragraph and diagrams are not part of first paragraph
in documentation. (This also gets them out of the top-level
table-of-contents/index list, where they previously appeared
in full.)
* (Accidental change I didn't realize I was making): Convert line
endings in breadth-first diagram from CRLF to LF.

This is the first step towards separating the API documentation and
introspection annotations from the platform-specific implementation, so
we can guarantee that the APIs make it into `GLib-2.0.gir` regardless of
which platform the GIR is built on.

We can only use the [class@Foo.Bar] syntax for identifiers under
namespaces included by the current namespace. Naturally, we cannot
include the GDK namespace.
Use a direct link for this instead.
Adjust all docs to use the gi-docgen referencing syntax, reindent
some of the comments, and add missing annotations to some async
methods.
The error arguments are not necessary with gi-docgen so they're
removed.
Confusingly enough, the docks for GAppInfo is spread between two
files.
