The problem occurs because we keep a pointer inside the allocated block,
instead of a pointer to the start of the block. This memory exists for
the lifetime of the application, so let's silence it.
This is probably abuse of VALGRIND_MALLOCLIKE_BLOCK(), which is really
intended for use in memory allocators, but gtype.c already uses it in
two other places, and it's a practical solution. I wrote another larger
fix for this issue that involves keeping an array of extra pointers when
running under valgrind. This is simpler.

Note we cannot use VALGRIND_FREELIKE_BLOCK() in freelist_free() because we
have not actually freed the FreeListNode and need to dereference it in
freelist_alloc() to decide whether to reuse the block. That would result
in a use-after-free warning before we would get a chance to call
VALGRIND_MALLOCLIKE_BLOCK() in the reuse path.
Also note that this free list only ever grows: it never shrinks for the
lifetime of the application, so nothing here will ever be truely freed,
although unused elements are eligible for reuse.

The previous code consumed a larger additional amount of stack space.
That is because it would allocate the temporary buffer for GValues on
the stack with "g_newa (GValue, 1)" and thus the required stack
space grew with the number of arguments. Granted, this is already
a variadic C function, so the caller already placed that many elements
on the stack. For example, on the stack there are the property names
and the pointers to the arguments, which should amount to roughly
O(n_args * 16) (on 64 bit, with pointers being 8 bytes large).
That is not bad, because it means in the previous version the stack space
would grow linear with the already used stack space. However, a GValue is
an additional 24 bytes (on 64 bit), which probably more than doubles the
required stack space. Let's avoid that, by allocating the temporary list
on the heap after a certain threshold. This probably more than doubles the
number of possible arguments before the stack overflows.
Also, previously the heap allocated "params" array only grew one element
per iteration. Of course, it is likely that libc anyway reallocates
the buffers by growing the space exponentially. So realloc(ptr, 1)
probably does not O() scale worse than doubling the buffer sizes ourselves.
However, it seems clearer to keep track of the allocated sizes ourself, and
only call realloc() when we determine that we are out of space.
Especially because we need to update the value pointers on reallocation.
Note that we now require a heap allocation both for the "params" and the
"values" list. Theoretically that could be combined by using one buffer
for both. But that would make the code more complicated.
Now we pre-allocate buffers for 16 elements on the stack. That
is (16 * (16 + 24) bytes (or 640 bytes) on the stack. I think that
is still acceptable.
Two out of three callers pass the count argument from a variable
of type guint. And the third is currently an always positive gint.
We should use the correct integer type that matches the type as it
used otherwise.

Add a test for a signal returning interface types, using
the generic marshaller. This will hopefully exercise newly
added code in value_from_ffi_type().
This tests the new functionality that
g_type_interface_instantiable_prerequisite
was added for.
Before the changes, this fails with
GObject-WARNING **: Unable to convert a value of type \
GObject to a value of type Foo
We do the same test with g_object_bind_property_with_closures
as well, to exercise g_cclosure_marshal_generic.
Use the new g_type_interface_instantiable_prerequisite() to check
compatibility for transform functions.
In particular, this allows interfaces (in my case GDK_TYPE_PAINTABLE) to
be transformed to/from any GObject type (in my case G_TYPE_OBJECT) using
the transform function registered to transform between any 2 objects
(g_value_object_transform_value() does a type check and uses NULL if the
types don't match).
And this in turn allows be to g_object_bind_property() a gobject-typed
generic property (GtkListItem::item) to a GtkImage::paintable.
Tests for the new functionality are included.
Use the newly added g_type_interface_instantiable_prerequisite() to
allow closure return values being interfaces by looking up the
instantiable type for the interface and using its GValue accessors.
This function returns the most specific instantiatable type
that is a prerequisite for a given interface.
This type is necessary in particular when dealing with GValues
because a GValue contains an instance of a type.
This commit includes tests for the new API.
Rather than using a mixture of ‘instantiable’ and ‘instantiatable’
everywhere, standardise on the term which is already in the public API.

g_has_typeof macro is wrongly in the public g_ namespace, internaly

Unfortunately, that commit neglected to remove handlers from

This commit addresses that bug by changing the closure invalidate
handler associated with the signal connection to properly remove the

Some editors automatically remove trailing blank lines, or
automatically add a trailing newline to avoid having a trailing
non-blank line that is not terminated by a newline. To avoid unrelated

let's pre-emptively normalize all files.

The various `g_strdup_printf()` returns values in the implementations of GValue
lcopy_func are runtime checks which could be disabled if one wants and therefore
should be handled as such with g_return_val_if_fail()
The property strings are interned already, so this potentially allows for faster
comparisons. The property strings were already not copied, as they were tagged
as static.
This adds support to be able to explicitely stored interned strings into
G_TYPE_STRING GValue.
This is useful for cases where the user:
* *knows* the string to be stored in the GValue is canonical
* Wants to know whther the string stored is canonical
This allows:
* zero-cost GValue copy (the content is guaranteed to be unique and exist
throughout the process life)
* zero-cost string equality checks (if both string GValue are interned, you just
need to check the pointers for equality or not, instead of doing a strcmp).

The glib-mkenums program allows generating code to handle enums/flags
with very different purposes. One of its purposes could be generating
per-enum/flag methods to be exposed in a library API, and while doing
that, it would be nice to have a way to specify in which API version
the enum/flag was introduced, so that the same version could be shown
in the generated API methods.
E.g. From the following code:
/**
* QmiWmsMessageProtocol:
* @QMI_WMS_MESSAGE_PROTOCOL_CDMA: CDMA.
* @QMI_WMS_MESSAGE_PROTOCOL_WCDMA: WCDMA.
*
* Type of message protocol.
*
* Since: 1.0
*/
typedef enum { /*< since=1.0 >*/
QMI_WMS_MESSAGE_PROTOCOL_CDMA = 0x00,
QMI_WMS_MESSAGE_PROTOCOL_WCDMA = 0x01
} QmiWmsMessageProtocol;
The template would allow us to generate a method documented like this,
including the Since tag with the value given in the mkenums 'since' tag.
/**
* qmi_wms_message_protocol_get_string:
* @val: a QmiWmsMessageProtocol.
*
* Gets the nickname string for the #QmiWmsMessageProtocol specified at @val.
*
* Returns: (transfer none): a string with the nickname, or %NULL if not found. Do not free the returned value.

Meson 0.54.0 added a new method meson.override_dependency() that must be
used to ensure dependency consistency. This patch ensures a project that
depends on glib will never link to a mix of system and subproject
libraries. It would happen in such cases:
The system has glib 2.40 installed, and a project does:
dependency('glib-2.0', version: '>=2.60',
fallback: ['glib', 'glib_dep'])
dependency('gobject-2.0')
The first call will configure glib subproject because the system libglib
is too old, but the 2nd call will return system libgobject.
By overriding 'gobject-2.0' dependency while configuring glib subproject
during the first call, meson knows that on the 2nd call it must return
the subproject dependency instead of system dependency.
This also has the nice side effect that with Meson >0.54.0 an
application depending on glib can declare the fallback without knowing
the dependency variable name: dependency('glib-2.0', fallback: 'glib').
The __declspec(dllexport) attribute in itself doesn't imply
'extern' - thus any intended variable declaration with
GLIB_VAR/GOBJECT_VAR would actually be a variable definition. With
C compilers defaulting to -fcommon, this isn't an issue, but
upcoming compilers (GCC 10 and Clang 11) will default to -fno-common,
ending up with duplicate definitions of these variables.
Rename the variables involved so that people get a slightly more
obvious critical warning when they try to ref an object which has
already been finalised.

Making this validation code public allows projects to validate a

When calling `g_set_object()` for a type derived from `GObject`, GCC 9.2

```
This was due to the `(GObject **)` cast.
Pass the pointer through a union to squash this warning. We already do
some size and type checks of the dereferenced type, which should catch
casual errors. The `g_object_ref()` and `g_object_unref()` calls which
subsequently happen inside the `g_set_object()` function also do some
dynamic type checks.

Rather than adding a canonicalised and non-canonicalised version of the

This saves space in `g_signal_key_bsa`, which should speed up lookups;
and it saves significant space in the global `GQuark` table (a 9.6%
reduction in entries in that table, by a rough test using
gnome-software).

In preparation for only inserting signals into `g_signal_key_bsa` once,
we now try looking up a signal with the given signal name and, if that
fails, try canonicalising the name and trying again.
This is a performance hit on lookups for non-canonical names, but
shouldn’t affect the performance of lookups for canonical names. If

Hence this patch moves the "static" and "dynamic" words close to
"instantiable_type".
Closes issue #259
This uses a 32bit hole in the GObject structure on 64bit arches
as a flag field which can be optionally used for some preformance hints.
Currently there is a flag that gets set any time you connect to a signal
on a GObject which is used as early bailout for signal emissions, and using
the flags field instead of a user-data for checking if a GObject is
under construction.
The Python runtime is not amenable to Valgrind, and leak checking is a
lot less relevant in Python compared to C.

These macros wrap functions which were only introduced in certain
versions of GLib. The functions are correctly marked as introduced in
those versions, but the macros aren’t, which can result in not getting
appropriate deprecation warnings if you’re using those APIs when you
have said you’re targeting older GLib versions using
`GLIB_VERSION_MAX_ALLOWED`.

"Uninitialized value" is partially correct, since it has not been
initialized with a type, but it's more precise to say
"zero-initialized value". It is still a programming error to pass a
pointer to uninitialized memory with arbitrary contents as the value.

We're using the `install` argument for configure_file() all over the
place.
The support for an `install` argument for configure_file() was added in
Meson 0.50, but we haven't bumped the minimum version of Meson we
require, yet; which means we're getting compatibility warnings when
using recent versions of Meson, and undefined behaviour when using older
versions.
The configure_file() object defaults to `install: false`, unless an
install directory is used. This means that all instances of an `install`
argument with an explicit `true` or `false` value can be removed,
whereas all instances of `install` with a value determined from a
configuration option must be turned into an explicit conditional.
Connect the dots between G_ADD_PRIVATE and the various G_DEFINE_* macros
that use it, as well as expanding the code example for
G_DEFINE_TYPE_EXTENDED with a private instance data declaration.

The two test scripts actually assumed some *NIX paradigms, so we need
to adapt them so that they can work on Windows as well, the changes are
namely:
-Call the glib-mkenums and glib-genmarshal Python scripts with the
Python interpreter, not just relying on shebang lines, on Windows.
This is because the native Windows console (cmd.exe) does not support
shebang lines, for subprocess.run().
-Use NamedTemporaryFile with delete=False, otherwise Windows cannot find
the temp files we need when running the tests.
-Use universal_newlines=True for subprocess.run() so that we do not need
to worry out line ending differences on different systems.
-Make sure we are not in the temp directories we create, where the tests
are being run, upon cleanup. Windows does not like deleting
directories that we are currently in.
On Windows and possibly other platforms the '%p' printf modifier does
not prefix printed values with '0x', so do not expect the warning
message to contain the '0x' prefix for the handler pointer value.
When building a valist marshaller, we can avoid reffing a GParamSpec
if the argument is known to always be static. The marshaller we ship in
`gmarshal.c` got this right, but marshallers generated by
glib-genmarshal were missing the optimisation. Fix that, and add a unit
test.

Using the generic marshaller has drawbacks beyond performance. One such
drawback is that it breaks the stack unwinding from the Linux kernel due
to having unsufficient data to walk past ffi_call_unixt64. That means that
performance profiling by application developers looks grouped among
seemingly unrelated code paths.

If we specify a c_marshaller, g_signal_newv() will never assign an
va_marshaller automatically. So either use NULL (for simple cases), or
specify both to avoid the generic performance penalty.

This makes the Meson build code for it a little more generic, and adds

While this was useful for local testing while developing the test, it’s
not widely applicable. Look the binary up in the current `${PATH}` if
it’s not specified using `G_TEST_BUILDDIR`.
This is needed to get the `mkenums.py` test working as an
installed-test.

We already have the GType with which the GValue should be initialized,
so requiring an initialized GValue is not really necessary, and it
actually complicates code that wraps GObject, by requiring the retrieval
of the GParamSpec in order to get the property type. Additionally, it
introduces a mostly unnecessary g_value_reset().
We already changed g_object_getv() to allow passing uninitialized
GValues, but this fell through the cracks.
