Link to the toolchain requirements, which are kept up to date, rather
than duplicating them across multiple documents.

This will warn if GLib is configured with a toolchain which doesn’t
support C11. We currently require C99. If nobody complains (as directed
by this warning) we will start to require C11 in the next unstable
release series (2.85).

Prevent to access to a disposed gsource in the GCancellable cancelled
signal callback.
Due to the fact that the signal is called in the same thread in which
the cancellable get cancelled, we may receive the callback just after
the GSource has been disposed or during its disposal.
To prevent this, let's pass to the signal a pointer to the source itself
and nullify atomically the first time we're calling a callback or
disposing it.
In case the dispose function wins the race, then the callback will just
do nothing, while the disposal will continue as expected.
In case the callback wins the race, during the concurrent disposal we'll
just wait for the callback to be completed, before returning the disposal
itself that will likely lead to freeing the GSource.
Closes: #3448
It finally happened: someone managed to keep a process alive long
enough, and using a single `GDBusConnection`, to overflow the
`last_serial` counter in the connection and send an invalid message with
serial of zero (which is disallowed by the D-Bus specification).
Avoid that happening in future by skipping serials of zero on overflow,
and wrapping straight back around to 1.
This looks a little more confusing than it is, because `last_serial` is
pre-incremented on use, so to skip zero, we explicitly set it to zero.
This is exactly what happens when the `GDBusConnection` is initialised
anyway.
I can’t think of a way to add a unit test for this — there is no way to
affect the value of `last_serial` except by sending messages (each one
increments it), and in order to get it to overflow by sending messages
at 1kHz, the test would have to run for 49 days.
Instead, I tested this manually by temporarily modifying
`GDBusConnection` to initialise `last_serial` to `G_MAXUINT32 - 3`, then
checked that the unit tests all still passed, and that the overflow code
was being executed.

Fixes: #3592
The registry backend uses a thread to monitor
registry changes and send notifications.
The state of this thread and structures used
for communicating with it are kept in the watch
variable.
The subscribe and unsubscribe functions might be
concurrently called from multiple threads and
need to communicate with the monitoring thread.
For this reason we need to synchronize the access
to the watch variable.
Generate a deprecation notice in the `--help` output for deprecated
options. This helps with the documentation of command line utilities.
Put the deprecation notice near the argument, to allow application
developers to add a notice on the deprecation on their own, and
explain what to use instead.
We don't allow unloading types, both static and dynamic, since 2013. The
code that deals with reference counting is mostly dead code, and makes
reasoning about the type system more complicated than necessary.
Since type classes and interfaces can only be instantiated, we introduce
explicit getter functions that create a GTypeClass or a GTypeInterface
vtable; the ref() and unref() API gets a "soft" deprecation (explicitly
not using `GOBJECT_DEPRECATED_IN_*` yet), to allow people to
progressively port their code.
A new header check is added for non-standard <sys/ucred.h>. Some platforms, like Linux, might support <sys/param.h>, <sys/mount.h>, and <fstab.h> but not this. Which can cause compilation to fail for gio/gunixmounts.c
This request brings support to the latest version of QNX software. _g_get_unix_mount_points (void) for getfsent() system also works on QNX. To avoid duplicating codes, it will be reused.
wiki.gnome.org has been retired but for some reason none of the old
pages were given HTTP redirects, so everyone has to update all their
links manually everywhere.

This makes the documentation for this function more consistent with that
of g_ptr_array_unref(), which makes it clear that it acts like
g_(ptr_)array_free with free_segment=TRUE.
Port the rest of the document to gi-docgen syntax, so we don’t have to
track partially-ported files.
