This reverts commit 52bab0254a.
It silently conflicted with another commit,
90ca3b4dd0, which was merged later than
it. I’ve kept commit 90ca3b because it also frees the GError; 52bab
doesn’t.
This is my failure to rebase and test old branches before merging them,
instead of assuming that the lack of automatically detected merge
conflicts actually means there are no merge conflicts.
Prevent the situation where errno is set by function A, then function B
is called (which is typically _(), but could be anything else) and it
overwrites errno, then errno is checked by the caller.
errno is a horrific API, and we need to be careful to save its value as
soon as a function call (which might set it) returns. i.e. Follow the
pattern:
int errsv, ret;
ret = some_call_which_might_set_errno ();
errsv = errno;
if (ret < 0)
puts (strerror (errsv));
This patch implements that pattern throughout GLib. There might be a few
places in the test code which still use errno directly. They should be
ported as necessary. It doesn’t modify all the call sites like this:
if (some_call_which_might_set_errno () && errno == ESOMETHING)
since the refactoring involved is probably more harmful than beneficial
there. It does, however, refactor other call sites regardless of whether
they were originally buggy.

Add a test for GSubprocess to test setting, unsetting and inheritance of
environment variables. Use communicate() to give it a bit more of a
workout as well.

Include unistd.h only on *NIX and define items as necessary on Windows,
also replace instances of ssize_t with the GLib-equivilant gssize so to fix
the build on platforms that do not have ssize_t, such as Visual C++.

There are a number of nice things this class brings:
0) Has a race-free termination API on all platforms (on UNIX, calls to
kill() and waitpid() are coordinated as not to cause problems).
1) Operates in terms of G{Input,Output}Stream, not file descriptors
2) Standard GIO-style async API for wait() with cancellation
3) Makes some simple cases easy, like synchronously spawning a
process with an argument list
4) Makes hard cases possible, like asynchronously running a process
with stdout/stderr merged, output directly to a file path
