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.
Apparently Solaris defines statbuf fields as long when Linux doesn’t, in
some cases. Cast down to the type expected by the printf() format
placeholder.

Setting a variable and then assigning it to itself avoids
-Wunused-but-set-variable but this specific trick is now caught by
-Wself-assign. Instead, actually use the value or don't bother
assigning it at all:
gdbusauth.c: call g_data_input_stream_read_byte() in void context
gdbusauthmechanismsha1.c: value is actually used
gdbusmessage.c: use consistent preprocessor-token protection
gthreadedresolver.c: skip over bytes in data blob
httpd.c: do something useful with the value

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.

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.

If we have an input parameter (or return value) we need to use (nullable).
However, if it is an (inout) or (out) parameter, (optional) is sufficient.
It looks like (nullable) could be used for everything according to the
Annotation documentation, but (optional) is more specific.
If g_dbus_message_to_blob() fails at all, it will leak its mbuf. Spotted
by running the gdbus-serialization test under Valgrind — so there is a
justification for leak-free tests after all!
Fix a hang due to overflow by using unsigned numbers and explicitly
checking if the number overflows to zero. This also fixes the previous
logic which assigned an int which may be negative to an unsigned number
resulting in sign extension and strange results.
Use gsize rather than int to allow for large buffers on 64 bit machines.

It turns out that this bug actually would (sometimes) impact any sort of
fixed-sized array with an alignment requirement of 8 due to incorrectly
counting the alignment inserted between the (aligned 4) array length and
the actual data.
Fix this properly and remove the exception for doubles.

* removed passing GError to ensure_input_padding() function
- it was necessary before commit 3e5214c15c
when we used GData*Streams and GMemoryInputStream with
g_seekable_seek() - now it's useless,
* removed checking return value of ensure_input_padding()
function - in previous implementation (like above)
g_seekable_seek() could return FALSE - now it's always TRUE,
* removed passing GError to g_memory_buffer_read_*() functions
and checking returned value - it also has been inherited after
old implementation with g_data_input_stream_read_*() functions
- now it's also useless
* cleaned up code formatting,

In Windows development environments that have it, <unistd.h> is mostly
just a wrapper around several other native headers (in particular,
<io.h>, which contains read(), close(), etc, and <process.h>, which
contains getpid()). But given that some Windows dev environments don't
have <unistd.h>, everything that uses those functions on Windows
already needed to include the correct Windows header as well, and so
there is never any point to including <unistd.h> on Windows.
Also, remove some <unistd.h> includes (and a few others) that were
unnecessary even on unix.

Back in the far-off twentieth century, it was normal on unix
workstations for U+0060 GRAVE ACCENT to be drawn as "‛" and for U+0027
APOSTROPHE to be drawn as "’". This led to the convention of using
them as poor-man's ‛smart quotes’ in ASCII-only text.
However, "'" is now universally drawn as a vertical line, and "`" at a
45-degree angle, making them an `odd couple' when used together.
Unfortunately, there are lots of very old strings in glib, and also
lots of new strings in which people have kept up the old tradition,
perhaps entirely unaware that it used to not look stupid.
Fix this by just using 'dumb quotes' everywhere.

This allows compilation with clang without errors, even when
-Wformat-nonliteral is active (as long as there are no real cases of
non literal formatting).

Now that we're directly accessing the memory holding a message blob,
we can access strings directly while reading them. This speeds up
read_string significantly, since we no longer malloc/memcpy/free.
GData*Streams incur significant overhead, and we do not need all of the
functionality that they provide, since we only ever read from/write to
memory when handling message blobs, so it is more performant to use a
simple structure.

D-Bus arrays are serialized as follows:
1. align to a 4-byte boundary (for the length)
2. uint32: the length of the serialized body in bytes
3. padding for the alignment of the body type (not included in the length)
4. the body.
Note that 3. is a no-op unless the body type is an 8-byte aligned type
(uint64, int64, double, struct, dict_entry), since you are always on a
4-byte boundary from aligning and writing the length.
So, an empty aax (that is, an array containing zero arrays of int64)
is serialized as follows:
1. align to a 4-byte boundary
2. length of the contents of this (empty) array, in bytes (0)
3. align to a 4-byte boundary (the child array's alignment requirement)
4. there is no body.
But previously, GDBus would recurse in step three to align not just for
the type of the child array, but for the nonexistent child array's
contents. This only affects the algorithm when the grandchild type has
8-byte alignment and the reader happened to not already be on an 8-byte
boundary, in which case 4 bytes were spuriously skipped.

As part of the deserialisation process of a zero-length array in the
DBus wire format, parse_value_from_blob() recursively calls itself with
the expectation of failing (as can be seen by the assert immediately
following).
It passes &local_error to this always-failing call and then fails to
free it (indeed, to use it at all). The result is that the GError is
leaked.
Fix it by passing in NULL instead, so that the GError is never created
in the first place.

Matthew Bucknall pointed out
GDBusMessage does not serialize/deserialize double values correctly
on platforms with strict alignment constraints (in my particular
case, ARM926EJ-S).
