The default for the class is still to have no timeout, but it seems more
practical for most use cases to set a non-infinite timeout on the
default resolver.
If applications have a more specific use case, they can change the
timeout or replace the default resolver.

If `async_cancel()` was invoked, it would remove the IO watch source,

Rather than running lookups in the global shared thread pool belonging
to `GTask`, run them in a private thread pool.
This is needed because the global shared thread pool is constrained to
only 14 threads. If there are 14 ongoing calls to
`g_task_run_in_thread()` from any library/code in the process, and then
one of them asks to do a DNS lookup, the lookup will block forever.
Under certain circumstances, particularly where there are a couple of
deep chains of dependent tasks running with `g_task_run_in_thread()`,
this can livelock the program.
Since `GResolver` is likely to be called as a frequent leaf call in
certain workloads, and in particular there are likely to be several
lookups requested at the same time, it makes sense to move resolver
lookups to a private thread pool.

This will make it simpler to handle timeouts and cancellation in future,

Track the `GTask`s which are still alive (not finalised) in a shared
list, and provide a secret debugging function for printing that list.
Too often when debugging apps, I have found that a ‘leaked’ object is
actually still (validly) referenced by an ongoing `GTask` which hasn’t
completed for whatever reason. Or I have found that an operation has
obviously stalled, but there are no pointers available to the `GTask`
which is stalled, because it’s being tracked as a collection of closure
pointers from some `GSource` which is hard to get to in the debugger.
It will be very useful for debugging apps, if there’s a list of all the
still alive `GTask`s somewhere. This is that list.
The code is disabled if `G_ENABLE_DEBUG` is not defined, to avoid every
`GTask` construction/finalisation imposing a global locking penalty.
To use the new list, break in `gdb` while running your app, and call
`g_task_print_alive_tasks()`, or inspect the `task_list` manually:
```
(gdb) print g_task_print_alive_tasks()

This commit changes the use of `ngettext` with `g_dngettext`. The
project defined `g_dngettext` (with domain support) provides the same
functionality as `ngettext` with a NULL domain provided. The purpose of
this change is to help address a build error for certain compilers that
trigger a `format-nonliteral` error-promoted-warning when using
`ngettext` (see also [1][2]). The benefit of switching to use
`g_dngettext` is that the function is defined with `G_GNUC_FORMAT`. This
provides a hint to GNU GCC compilers to still sanity check these
arguments, but not generate a `format-nonliteral`.

The merge request !2848 added code to automatically detect the module
prefix on macOS, with a test for the Mac #define TARGET_OS_OSX. However,
older versions of the SDK (at least 10.11) don't provide this #define,
leading to build failure. If the #define is missing, fall back to
checking TARGET_OS_MAC. On newer SDKs this symbol is also true for
watchOS, etc., but in those situations TARGET_OS_OSX is available.
Various gio modules include gmodule.h that requires the
gmodule-visibility.h to be already built.
To make this easier, just provide a dependency and use it where we are
building modules that do not depend on libgio_dep (that already includes
that).

Fixes: #2951
The ref on the timeout source owned by `SendMessageData` was being
dropped just after attaching the source to the main context, leaving it
unowned in that struct. That meant the only ref on the source was held
by the `GMainContext` it was attached to.
This ref was dropped when returning `G_SOURCE_REMOVE` from
`send_message_with_reply_timeout_cb()`. Before that happens,
`send_message_data_deliver_error()` is called, which normally calls
`send_message_with_reply_cleanup()` and destroys the source.
However, if `send_message_data_deliver_error()` is called when the
message has already been delivered, calling
`send_message_with_reply_cleanup()` will be skipped. This leaves the
source pointer in `SendMessageData` dangling, which will cause problems
when `g_source_destroy()` is subsequently called on it.
I’m not sure if it’s possible in practice for this situation to occur,
but the code certainly does nothing to prevent it, and it’s easy enough
to avoid by keeping a strong ref on the source in `SendMessageData`.

It already implicitly held a strong ref on its `GTask` values, but
didn’t have a free function set so that they would be automatically
unreffed on removal from the map.
This meant that the functions handling removals from the map,
`on_worker_closed()` (via `cancel_method_on_close()`) and
`send_message_with_reply_cleanup()` had to call unref once more than
they would otherwise.
In `send_message_with_reply_cleanup()`, this behaviour depended on
whether it was called with `remove == TRUE`. If not, it was `(transfer
none)` not `(transfer full)`. This led to bugs in its callers.
For example, this led to a direct leak in `cancel_method_on_close()`, as
it needed to remove tasks from `map_method_serial_to_task`, but called
`send_message_with_reply_cleanup(remove = FALSE)` and erroneously didn’t
call unref an additional time.
Try and simplify it all by setting a `GDestroyNotify` on
`map_method_serial_to_task`’s values, and making the refcount handling
of `send_message_with_reply_cleanup()` not be conditional on its
arguments.

The existing comment in the code was correct that `data` is freed when
the task callback is called, because `data` is also pointed to by the
`user_data` for the task, and that’s freed at the end of the callback.
So the existing code was correct to take a copy of `data->task` before
calling `g_task_return_*()`.
After calling `g_task_return_*()`, the existing code unreffed the task
(which is correct), but then didn’t clear the `data->task` pointer,
leaving `data->task` dangling. That could cause a use-after-free or a
double-unref.
Avoid that risk by explicitly clearing `data->task` before calling
`g_task_return_*()`.
After some testing, it turns out this doesn’t actually fix any bugs, but
it’s still a good robustness improvement.

The generated gir file marks the size parameter as "out" by default. This is wrong in the context of a caller allocated buffer with a given size. Explicitly marking the size parameter as (in) fixes the issue.
As explained in the previous commit, GNU Coreutils 9.2 changes the behaviour
of `du --bytes` to only count regular files and symlinks.
The previous commit makes the test pass with GNU Coreutils >=9.2, but the
machine running the tests may have an older version, or perhaps even a
reimplementation such as uutils. So we can't rely on the size returned by `du`
to be the consistent across systems any more.
However, the plus side of the new behaviour is that the size reported by `du`
/ `G_FILE_MEASURE_APPARENT_SIZE` is now well-defined across filesystems
(as the sum of the sizes of regular files & symlinks), so we can hardcode it.
Fixes: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/glib/-/issues/2965
Since GNU Coreutils 9.2 (commit 110bcd28386b1f47a4cd876098acb708fdcbbb25),
`du --apparent-size` (including `du --bytes`) no longer counts all kinds of
files (directories, FIFOs, etc.), but only those for which `st_size` in
`struct stat` is defined by POSIX, namely regular files and symlinks
(and also rarely supported memory objects).
This aligns the behaviour of GLib's `G_FILE_MEASURE_APPARENT_SIZE` flag
with the new GNU Coreutils `du` and correct POSIX use.
Note that this may be a breaking change for some uses.

Both `GPollableInputStream` and `GPollableOutputStream` are dynamic
interfaces, in that their implementation on a class may only be
functional if certain prerequisites are met at runtime. For example,
a `GConverterInputStream` is only pollable if its base stream is
pollable, and that’s determined at runtime rather than compile time.
As such, both interfaces have a `can_poll()` method. If that method
returns `FALSE`, the behaviour of all other methods on the interface is
undefined.

This partially reverts ed8e86a7d4.
The change to add the criticals (commit ed8e86a7d4) is correct, but
landed too late in the cycle. Let’s downgrade the criticals to debugs
for now, to stop applications seeing a lot of new criticals in their
output. Those criticals are particularly disruptive for command line
applications and unit tests.
Early in the next cycle, the debugs will be re-upgraded to criticals.
This will give applications a whole additional cycle to fix their
ambiguous use of API.
It turned out that a lot of applications have latent bugs around
calling `g_file_info_get_*()` without checking whether an attribute
is set first, and were hence relying on the ‘unknown’ return value
also being an appropriate default for them.
This was compounded by the fact that several non-local GVFS backends
were not setting `GFileInfo` attributes all the time, which caused the
‘missing attribute’ code path to be hit more frequently. For example,
they would only call `g_file_info_set_is_hidden()` with a true value and
never bother with a false one.
It was further compounded by the fact that, while this change landed for
the 2.75.4 release, there did not seem to be extensive integration
testing of that release, and distributions and downstreams went straight
to 2.76.0. That meant we missed the window between 2.75.4 and 2.76.0 to
change, fix or revert this behaviour. GLib relies on distros and
downstreams doing integration testing of unstable releases. We test with
downstream GNOME as part of gnome-build-meta, but do not have the
resources to do integration testing for everybody.

the wrong `GFileInfo` object that is meant for attributes to be copied
with the file. The file size attribute is missing there obviously. Let's

The `GDBusInterfaceSkeleton` is already stored as the source object of
the `GTask` here, with a strong reference.
Storing it again in the task’s data struct is redundant, and makes it
look like the `GDBusInterfaceSkeleton` is being used without holding a
strong reference. (There’s not actually a bug there though: the strong
reference from the `GTask` outlives the data struct, so is sufficient.)
Remove the unnecessary helper struct member to clarify the code a bit.

Otherwise it’s possible for it to hang around in the `GMainContext`
after the “send message” operation has finished. In the best case, this
will cause the `GTask` and `GDBusMessage` to not be freed when the
calling code expects. In the worst case, it could cause use-after-free
problems if it derefs allocations which have since been freed.
I have not seen either of these problems in practice, but it would be
best for the code to eliminate the risk of them altogether by explicitly
destroying the source when the operation is finished.

This appears to fix an intermittent failure seen when sending a D-Bus
message with either of a cancellable or a timeout set.
In particular, I can reliably reproduce it with:
```
meson test gdbus-test-codegen-min-required-2-64 --repeat 10000
```
It can be caught easily with asan when reproduced. Tracking down the
location of the refcount mismatch was a little tricky, but was
simplified by replacing a load of `g_object_ref (message)` calls with
`g_dbus_message_copy (message, NULL)` to switch `GDBusMessage` handling
to using copy semantics. This allowed asan to home in on where the
refcount mismatch was happening.
The problem was that `send_message_data_deliver_error()` takes ownership
of the `GTask` passed to it, but the
`send_message_with_replace_cancelled_idle_cb()` and
`send_message_with_reply_timeout_cb()` functions which were calling it,
were not passing in a strong reference as they should have.
Another approach to fixing this would have been to change the transfer
semantics of `send_message_data_deliver_error()` so it was `(transfer
none)` on its `GTask`. That would probably have resulted in cleaner
code, but would have been a lot harder to verify/review the fix, and
easier to inadvertently introduce new bugs.
The fact that the bug was only triggered by the cancellation and timeout
callbacks explains why it was intermittent: these code paths are
typically never hit, but the timeout path may sometimes be hit on a very
slow test run.

mkstemp-like family of functions also use g_open () under the hood so
they should pass the O_CLOEXEC flag there for race-free setting of the
close-on-exec flag.
setmntent () call uses the same mode flag set as fopen (), so it should
also include the "e" mode flag for race-free setting of the close-on-exec
flag.
All Unix CRTs examined: glibc, musl, BSDs, Apple libc, Android bionic
ignore unknown fopen () mode flags, so this flag can be added
unconditionally for Unix builds.
Only Windows CRT is intolerant of these, so the single case in
g_dbus_address_connect () where the fopen () call is shared between Unix
and Windows needs appropriate platform-specific handling.
Skipped the call sites in libcharset and xdgmime copylibs.
The `equal_func` closure can already have all required information
available without the item, and passing the item via the closure instead
of an explicit parameter is more natural for languages that have a
concept of closures that can capture variables.
Otherwise, the content of the buffer is thrown away when switching
from reading via a GDataInputStream to unbuffered reads when waiting
for the "BEGIN" line.
(The code already tried to protect against over-reading like this by
using unbuffered reads for the last few lines of the auth protocol,
but it might already be too late at that point. The buffer of the
GDataInputStream might already contain the "BEGIN" line for example.)
This matters when connecting a sd-bus client directly to a GDBus
client. A sd-bus client optimistically sends the whole auth
conversation in one go without waiting for intermediate replies. This
is done to improve performance for the many short-lived connections
that are typically made.

By being this restrictive, we avoid having to return ‘unknown’ values
for some of these standard APIs, particularly the numeric ones such as
`g_file_info_get_size()`. If APIs like that were to work correctly in
the face of a `GFileInfo` without `G_FILE_ATTRIBUTE_STANDARD_SIZE`

attribute is missing. Returning `0` or `G_MAXSIZE` to indicate that

Since gmodule-visibility.h is now a custom target and produced at
buildtime, it might not always exist in time for use in other source
files. This was the case for gio-inotify.
Add it as an additional source file to ensure in-time generation.
When gio monitors a directory, it will delete the extra "/" at the end
of the directory string, but when the directory is "/", this will cause
the modified directory string to be empty, and eventually the
monitoring will fail. The solution is to delete only if the directory
string length is greater than 1.
Currently, inbuf_size and outbuf_size are not documented as not

Fix a regression that appeared after adding support for nanosecond
timestamps to set_mtime_atime(). User-visible effect: when copying a
file from a gvfs MTP mountpoint to the local filesystem, the file's
mtime is set to 0.
This behavior happens when setting G_FILE_ATTRIBUTE_TIME_MODIFIED first,
then G_FILE_ATTRIBUTE_TIME_MODIFIED_USEC. Setting the second attribute
ends up in set_mtime_atime() with mtime_usec_value set, and mtime_value
== NULL. When mtime_value is NULL, the tv_sec part of the timestamp
should be fetched by lazy_stat(), but set_mtime_atime() fails to assign
it properly, and tv_sec stays at 0, leading to losing the main part of
the timestamp.
Fix the issue by setting times_n[1].tv_sec to the value fetched from
lazy_stat().

Substring matches can have too much unwanted results, while prefix
matches is more accurate but cannot handle some special cases, this
commit combines them by adding a match_type member, then sort and group
result with both categories and match types.
For the same category, prefix matched results will be put in the first
group and substring matched results will be put in the second group.
We eventually need to return them as an array anyways.
Sadly we can't just reuse such memory because each element is a pointer and
not a guchar, but still we can be cheaper in various operations.
I noticed this when running the test on an Arm Morello system where varargs
have bounds. g_variant_new() was trying to read an integer using va_arg(),
but since there was no argument it resulted in a bounds errors there.
On most other architectures this will just read whatever value is contained
in the next argument register and is not something that ASan can detect, so
it never resulted in test failures.
When a cancellable is cancelled when we call g_cancellable_connect we
used to immediately call the provided callback, while this is fine we
actually had race in case the cancellable was about to be reset or in
the middle of a cancellation.
In fact it could happen that when we released the mutex, another thread
could reset the cancellable just before the callback is actually called
and so leading to call it with g_cancellable_cancelled() == FALSE.
So to handle this, make disconnect and reset function to wait for
connection emission to finish, not to break their assumptions.
This can be tested using some "brute-force" tests where multiple threads
are racing to connect and disconnect while others are cancelling and
resetting a cancellable, ensuring that all works as we expect.
This solves problems with validating untrusted inputs from D-Bus, where
invalid numbers of added and removed menu entries, and positions, could

GDesktopAppInfo never failed in the most simple of the cases: when a
desktop file or a command line app info was pointing to an invalid
executable (for the context).
The reason for this is that we're launching all the programs using
gio-launch-desktop which will always exist in a sane GLib installation,
and thus our call to execvp won't ever fail on failure.
This was partially mitigated by not allowing to create a desktop app
icon using a non-existent executable (even if not fully correctly) but
still did not work in case a custom PATH was provided in the launch
context.
To avoid this, use g_find_program_for_path() to find early if a program
that we're about to launch is available, and if it's not the case return
the same error that g_spawn_async_with_fds() would throw in such cases.
While this is slowing a bit our preparation phase, would avoid to leave
to the exec function the job to find where our program is.
Add tests simulating this behavior.
We used to launch applications with terminals using the normal program
finder logic that did not consider the context path nor the desktop file
working dir. Switch to g_find_program_for_path() to find terminals so we
can ensure that both conditions are true.
Update tests to consider this case too.
The platform data comes from the parent process, which should normally
be considered trusted (if we don’t trust it, it can do all sorts of
other things to mess this process up, such as setting
`LD_LIBRARY_PATH`).
However, it can also come from any process which calls `CommandLine`
over D-Bus, so always has to be able to handle untrusted input. In
particular, `v`-typed `GVariant`s must always have their dynamic type
validated before having values of a static type retrieved from them.

This reworks commit 20e1508e6e, for two
reasons:
- Upstream dbus.git now does the same (although this isn’t yet reflected
in the online version of the D-Bus Specification); see
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/dbus/dbus/-/merge_requests/209.
- It allows local-prefix (e.g. jhbuild) builds of GLib to build in a
custom prefix while still interacting with system services using the
system-wide `/run` directory. To do so, pass `-Druntime_dir=/run` to
meson configure.
As documented in the `NEWS` file in
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/dbus/dbus/-/merge_requests/209, it’s only
valid to use `/run` – rather than `/var/run` – for D-Bus if the two
paths are interoperable. i.e. `/var/run` should be a symlink to `/run`,
and the D-Bus daemon should be configured to put its socket there.
This commit deliberately doesn’t introduce a special `system_socket`
configure option for specifying where the D-Bus system socket lives, as
that would only be useful for a distribution which sets `runstatedir` to
something other than `/var/run` or `/run`, which seems unlikely. We
could add such an option in future, though, if a distribution comes
forward with such a requirement.

under cygwin socklen_t is signed which leads to warnings like:
warning: comparison of integer expressions of different signedness:
‘long unsigned int’ and ‘socklen_t’ {aka ‘int’} [-Wsign-compare]
In both cases we compare against some small fixed sizes, so cast them
to socklen_t.
cygwin defines socklen_t as int, unlike everywhere else where it is uint32_t (afaics),
so signed vs unsigned.
The recently added -Werror=pointer-sign in 4353813058
makes the build fail under cygwin now with something like:
error: pointer targets in passing argument 5 of ‘getsockopt’ differ in signedness [-Werror=pointer-sign]
This changes guint to socklen_t where needed for getsockname, getpeername and getsockopt.
