...and add ability to select target platform for calling vcvarsall.bat,
so that we can accomodate 32-bit builds and possibly ARM64 builds in the
CI if we need to.
This reverts commit 16819a4024.
The failure this was added for is intermittent and has been going on a
long time; it’s not a new failure caused by msys2 dependency/packaging
changes, so the policy in .gitlab-ci.yml doesn’t apply.
It would be great if someone fixed#3042, but un-gating GLib from msys2
testing is not the right tradeoff for it.
See: #3042
We want to build GLib against a matched version of
gobject-introspection, and this version will probably be bumped quite
often as the two are developed in tandem.
However, if the CI system provides a newer version, we should probably
use that, otherwise we’re essentially downgrading part of the OS on the
CI system, and that probably will result in issues. In particular,
gobject-introspection <1.82 has a bug on MSYS2 which means it doesn’t
build (see issue #3464).
So, build gobject-introspection manually if the CI system version is too
old, otherwise use the system version. Do this programmatically so we
don’t have to repeatedly add and remove the gobject-introspection build
commands from the CI configuration as versions are bumped.
Fixes: #3464
Now that the CI runner has Meson 1.4, we can revert commit
eda5bb386b and re-enable fatal warnings.

It's better to warn by default on MSVC (which we were already doing before
we bumped to 1.4.0) than to fail by default on macOS.
Fixes: 51e3e7d9ae ("build: Bump Meson dependency to 1.4.0")
These are typically files generated by the gobject-introspection dumper,
which we don’t want to scan as they are not part of GLib’s runtime code.
For example:
```

Fixes commit 93271385f9.
Previously the `before_script` from `.build-linux` was used in whole for
these two jobs, but since the `.build-gobject-introspection` template
was also added, the `before_script`s from the two templates need to be

Remove cmake as we no longer need to build ninja. We can use the
official wheel now since the runner's Python is 3.9 (before: 3.8).
Use the same comment regarding '--wrap-mode' as in the other jobs.
Download and use official ccache binary.
Add myself to the 'only' section in .gitlab-ci.yml so I can have
CI in my fork.
Disable a few deprecation warnings due to the much newer SDK of
the Apple Silicon machine.
Meson 1.5.1 is available in the fd.o SDK and in Debian testing, so the
glib Meson policy says we can update. Update the minimum only as far as
1.4.0 because we don't yet have a need for 1.5.0.
This allows us to:
- Use file.full_path() to avoid deprecation warnings on str.format(file).
- Set c_std=gnu99,c99 to avoid deprecation warnings with gnu99 on MSVC.
Update all the CI builds to use the latest 1.4.x patch release, 1.4.2.
The FreeBSD runner cannot be updated via `gitlab-ci.yml`, so will be
broken for now.
Similarly, the macOS build will not work unless `-Dc_std=gnu99` is
specified at configure time, due to
https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/issues/13639.
Also start using a more reliable versioning scheme for the fedora images
so that the tag is always vFEDORA_VERSION.IMAGE_VERSION to make it
easier to understand on future updates
Fixes: #3381
Since we run tests in parallel we may end up rewriting the coverage info
while running files acting on the same source files.
The compiler can be smart though, so let's use the proper flag.
Despite this, sometimes we may still end up into negative reports, so
let's ignore them in CI since it's not worth breaking the build because
of these coverage-parsing failures.
When using dtrace some temporary files may be leaked as source files and
this may lead to build issues such as
geninfo: ERROR: unable to open
/builds/GNOME/glib/_build/.dtrace-temp.ed1c5ba9.c:
No such file or directory
AFAIK there's no way to keep these temporary files around, so the only
thing we can do is making lcov less strict about missing files.
We can drop the special option from genhtml since it's using the same
lcovrc file
It seems to have been accidentally enabled by the switch to making
dtrace a Meson feature. This has only just been caught because the
FreeBSD CI runner has been offline for several weeks (see
https://gitlab.gnome.org/Infrastructure/Infrastructure/-/issues/1503).
With dtrace enabled, the FreeBSD CI build fails with:
```

Fedora 37 is out of support so, as per our policy, update the CI image
to the oldest still-supported release, which is 39.
Update the mingw CI image too, as it’s built on top of the Fedora one.
Update the supported platforms documentation (and fix the Debian version
listed there to match what’s currently in CI, which is up to date).

Several of the assertions in GLib (particularly on hot paths in
`gobject.c`) are protected behind `#if G_ENABLE_DEBUG`. In order for
scan-build to see them, the scan-build CI job needs to make sure that
a debug build is definitely enabled — not just rely on it being
implicitly enabled via the combination of other build options.

The `gi-docgen` tool is not designed to be used like that. In
particular, when nesting documentation directories, the generated
`*.devhelp2` files (needed by Devhelp to show the documentation) are
nested one directory level too deep for Devhelp to find them, and hence
are useless, and the documentation doesn’t show up in this common
documentation viewer.
So, change the installed documentation directory hierarchy:
* `${PREFIX}/share/doc/glib-2.0/gio` → `${PREFIX}/share/doc/gio-2.0`
* `${PREFIX}/share/doc/glib-2.0/glib-unix` →
`${PREFIX}/share/doc/glib-unix-2.0`
* `${PREFIX}/share/doc/glib-2.0/gobject` →
`${PREFIX}/share/doc/gobject-2.0`
* etc.
* `${PREFIX}/share/doc/glib-2.0/glib` → `${PREFIX}/share/doc/glib-2.0`
This is going to seem like pointless churn (the contents of the
documentation have not changed), and packagers may mourn the split of
content in `/usr/share/doc` from `/usr/share/doc/${package_name}` to
`/usr/share/doc/${pkg_config_id}` instead, but that seems to be the best
approach to fix this issue in GLib. gi-docgen’s behaviour does feel
fairly consistent and correct with the rest of how it works (single
output directory).

Enable the msys2-mingw32 CI job for merges, just like the fedora-x86_64
job is. The pair of them can then build the platform specific GIR and
documentation files.
The `download-reference.sh` script in the `docs-gtk-org` branch of GTK
can then download the docs as an artifact from the latest GLib build of
`main`, and publish them on docs.gtk.org, as is currently done for the
platform agnostic documentation.

This will make it easier and more obvious for developers to run them
locally: I'm sure I'm not the only developer who had assumed that
`.gitlab-ci/` is private to the CI environment and inappropriate (or
perhaps even destructive) to run on a developer/user system.
The lint checks are automatically skipped (with TAP SKIP syntax) if we
are not in a git checkout, or if git or the lint tool is missing. They
can also be disabled explicitly with `meson test --no-suite=lint`,
which downstream distributions will probably want to do.
By default, most lint checks are reported as an "expected failure"
(with TAP TODO syntax) rather than a hard failure, because they do not
indicate a functional problem with GLib and there is a tendency for
lint tools to introduce additional checks or become more strict over
time. Developers can override this by configuring with `-Dwerror=true`
(which also makes compiler warnings into fatal errors), or by running
the test suite like `LINT_WARNINGS_ARE_ERRORS=1 meson test --suite=lint`.
One exception to this is tests/check-missing-install-tag.py, which is
checking a functionally significant feature of our build system, and
seems like it is unlikely to have false positives: if that one fails,
it is reported as a hard failure.
run-style-check-diff.sh and run-check-todos.sh are not currently given
this treatment, because they require search-common-ancestor.sh, which
uses Gitlab-CI-specific information to find out which commits are in-scope
for checking.
