We don’t strictly require this, but given that our CI runs it, we
essentially never test with 0.46.0, so it might as well be broken.

We have not updated nor used this script for a long time, and nowadays
Meson makes it much easier to build on Windows for either Visual Studio
or MinGW, even straight from a GIT checkout, so it's about time that we
drop the glib-zip script from the source tree.
Autoconf macro AC_HEADER_MAJOR doesn't define a macro in config.h when
major is defined in sys/types.h. This was not a problem because major
is assumed to be always available. However, commit aefffa3fbc
changes this assumption in order to fix build on systems without major,
which causes code using major to be disabled on systems putting major
in sys/types.h.
This commit defines a new macro MAJOR_IN_TYPES for both autotools and
meson builds to make major useful on these systems again.
cc.has_header checks whether a header exists without knowing whether it
can be used. This is a problem on FreeBSD because its malloc.h is a
header with an '#error' line which always throw compilation error. To
avoid false positive in the check result, we use cc.compiles to do a
full compilation test instead of cc.has_header which only does check
with preprocessor.
We have no way to test Solaris builds atm, and it is not even clear how
to detect Solaris systems with meson. It will probably need to be
revisited when we get a proper CI in place.
See commit 4c2928a544 for why checking AT_SECURE is preferable compared
to UID checks as currently done in the fallback case.
getauxval() was added with glibc 2.16
While glibc <2.19 didn't provide a way to differentiate a 0 return value from an error,
passing AT_SECURE should always succeed according to
https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2014-07/msg00407.html
I've added an errno check anyway, to be on the safe side.
Try and ensure that people don’t push code with misleading indentation
in future. This should give fairly few false positives.

gcc defaults to utf-8 for both (see -fexec-charset and -finput-charset in the
gcc man page) so we should use it with msvc as well.
msvc by default uses the locale encoding unless there is a BOM, see
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/mt708821.aspx
Our minimum requirement is already greater than that, so we don't need
to add checks there. We can always add -Wl,-framework,CoreFoundation
flag.
Fixes#1380.
- Compiler checks were failing because it were using C compiler to build
objc code.
- xdgmime is needed on osx too.
- -DGIO_COMPILATION must be passed to objc compiler too.
- gapplication doesn't build on osx, it is excluded in autotools too.
We have to be careful when we use add_project_link_arguments(): All
targets are built using link arguments for the C language, except for
libgio on osx which use the objc language, because it contains some ".m"
source files. See https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/issues/3585.

Some compilers, particularly Android on armv5 and old versions of Clang
provide atomic ops, but don't define __GCC_HAVE_SYNC_COMPARE_AND_SWAP_4
so we need to define it ourselves.
This matches what configure does, with the exception that now it's only
done for Android since clang defines __GCC_HAVE_SYNC_COMPARE_AND_SWAP_4
now.

The latest patches have fixed the atomic check, which
uses __sync_bool_compare_and_swap , and thus fails on
MSVC.
As a result, in gatomic.c, we ended up trying to include
pthread.h, which failed.
This mimics the old behaviour a bit more closely, where
G_ATOMIC_LOCK_FREE was always defined in the win32
glibconfig.h

The 'no-builtin' checks were just plain wrong. For accurate detection of
functions, use has_function with a header in the prefix. This fixes
posix_memalign detection on Android and on MinGW32, MSYS-MinGW-w64, and
old versions of MSYS2-MinGW-w64.
Using the header in the `prefix:` is generally a good idea because of
how macOS does targetting of specific macOS releases at compile time.
This also allows cross-files to override the result by setting
`has_function_stpcpy = false`, etc in [extra properties]

The comment stated that the test isn't good enough, but it correctly
detects a C99 printf when I build with -D__USE_MINGW_ANSI_STDIO=1

Commit 3e96523e6b did not entirely fix the test, as the compiled test
code did not have a main() function, so failed to link with:

On Windows we use gnulib and elsewhere we use glibc or similar.
Also change G_GNUC_PRINTF to use gnu_printf instead of __format__ if
possible because __format__ evaluates to ms_printf under MinGW,
but we use gnulib there and not the system printf.
gnu_printf is only available with GCC>=4.4 and not with clang.

In https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=794555 the tests for
posix_memalign and stpcpy were extended to catch the case where
the compiler provides an incomplete builtin.
Under MSYS2 the example code still compiles and links while the real usage
of stpcpy fails to build. To prevent the MSYS2 gcc from using the builtin
versions pass -fno-builtin.

The winsock2-using test does work perfectly, however this is a new
thing that didn't exist in autotools-based builds of glib in the past.
Autotools builds used the generic case where values were just defined
to some agreed-upon numbers, and this is what all autotools-glib
binaries and binaries built against autotools-glib (since these
values go into public glibconfig.h header) use. At least one value,
G_POLLIN, is different, thus breaking ABI if some binaries are
built with autotools and the others are built with meson.
Force meson buildscript to use the same G_POLL* constant values
for Windows builds that autotools builds use.

Accurate G_HAVE_GNUC_VISIBILITY is needed to correctly
define G_GNUC_INTERNAL later on. Autotools did that,
meson currently doesn't and opts to just set
G_HAVE_GNUC_VISIBILITY to 1 for all compilers except MSVC.
This leads to MinGW GCC having G_HAVE_GNUC_VISIBILITY=1,
which results in G_GNUC_INTERNAL being defined to
__attribute__((visibility("hidden"))), which is not supported.
Because cc.compiles() does not support override_options or
anything like that, we just feed it '-Werror' as-is, since
MSVC is known as not supporting visibility attributes anyway.

Building against libmount installed into a non-default prefix wasn’t
working, as we were using #include <libmount/libmount.h> rather than
the correct #include <libmount.h> — all the mount.pc pkg-config files
set `Cflags: -I${includedir}/libmount`.
Fixing this while retaining the fallback support for versions of
libmount without a pkg-config file would have been tricky (we would need
to work out a suitable -I flag to set in LIBMOUNT_CFLAGS) to still be
able to use the correct #include path). Thankfully, libmount gained
pkg-config support a long time ago, so I think we can safely drop the
fallback code. In particular, Debian Jessie, Ubuntu Trusty, and CentOS 5
all ship a mount.pc file.

As 'auto' dependency checking has been declared undesirable,
skip checking of optional dependencies where the option
defaults to true, but where the option doesn't make sense for

shouldn't have to specify -Dselinux=false to get glib to build.

-If there is a installed PCRE, check whether the PCRE build is a static

The HAVE_GOOD_PRINTF config variable determines whether we are able to
use the CRT-supplied *printf() functions directly, by determining whether
the CRT-supplied vsnprintf() and snprintf() functions support C99 well
enough.
This means, we need to build the gnulib subdir as a static lib in GLib, and use
the gnulib *printf() functions when:
-We are on Windows
-The CRT's vsnprintf() and snprintf() is not sufficiently C99-compliant.
This will fix the problem when the *printf() functions cause a CRT
abort() call on pre-2015 Visual Studio builds at least, and ensures that
the Visual Studio 2015+ builds will pass the printf tests in GLib, since
the *printf() in Visual Studio 2015/2017's CRT does not support the %n
format specifier, nor the positional parameters (which requires
different _*printf_p*() functions), as indicated by
glib/tests/test-printf.c.
