On Windows, process spawning needs an external helper exe which is found
relatively to the glib DLL file. If glib has been built statically this
file doesn't exist anymore and reference path is not the DLL path
anymore but the current executable path.
This patch searches for the helper exe taking as starting point the
current executable path, relative 'bin', 'lib', 'glib' and 'gio' folders
and then gets one level up until the root path. If this search doesn't
give result then the helper exe is searched using the PATH variable.
MSVC supports AddressSanitizer as well via "/fsanitize=address" option,
but __lsan_ignore_object() equivalent feature is not supported.
Note that there's __declspec(no_sanitize_address) specifier which
provides a similar feature but that's not runtime behavior
so it's not directly applicable to g_ignore_leak() family.
See also https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/sanitizers/asan-building?view=msvc-160
These just wrap the `__lsan_enable()` and `__lsan_disable()` functions
from the AddressSanitizer client API. They’re useful in situations where
the intended-to-be-leaked memory is being allocated in third-party code,
such as xdgmime. We can’t patch that code to call `g_ignore_leak()`.

On Windows, in particular the CRTs on and after Visual Studio 2012, it
is not enough just to do setlocale (LC_ALL, "") to set the default
system locale, which results in the tools that use the translated
messages to show unreadable messages when running the commmand line
tools.
This adds an entry in glib-private.h.in which denotes the appropriate
string to use for setlocale() to set the default system locale by
setting it to ".ACP" if we are building on Windows and "" for
other systems (as we are doing now).
The tools in gio/ will be updated in the next commit to make use of this
entry so that the translated messages can be shown correctly.
Put the core readlink() code into a separate
_g_win32_readlink_handle_raw() function that takes a file handle,
can optionally ensure NUL-terminatedness of its output
(for cases where we need a NUL-terminator and do *not* need
to get the exact contents of the symlink as it is stored in FS)
and can either fill a caller-provided buffer *or* allocate
its own buffer, and can also read the reparse tag.
Put the rest of readlink() code into separate
functions that do UTF-16<->UTF-8, strip inconvenient prefix
and open/close the symlink file handle as needed.
Split _g_win32_stat_utf16_no_trailing_slashes() into
two functions - the one that takes a filename and the one
that takes a file descriptor. The part of these functions
that would have been duplicate is now split into the
_g_win32_fill_privatestat() funcion.
Add more comments explaining what each function does.
Only g_win32_readlink_utf8(), which is callable from outside
via private function interface, gets a real doc-comment,
the rest get normal, non-doc comments.
Change all callers to use the new version of the private
g_win32_readlink_utf8() function, which can now NUL-terminate
and allocate on demand - no need to call it in a loop.
Also, the new code should correctly get reparse tag when the
caller does fstat() on a symlink. Do note that this requires
the caller to get a FD for the symlink, not the target. Figuring
out how to do that is up to the caller.
Since symlink info (target path and reparse tag) are now always
read directly, via DeviceIoControl(), we don't need to use
FindFirstFileW() anymore.
This commit adds new W32-only functions to gstdio.c,
and a new header file, gstdioprivate.h.
These functions are:
g_win32_stat_utf8()
g_win32_lstat_utf8()
g_win32_fstat()
and they fill a private structure, GWin32PrivateStat,
which has all the fields that normal stat has, as well as some
extras.
These functions are then used throughout glib and gio to get better
data about the system. Specifically:
* Full, 64-bit size, guaranteed (g_stat() is forced to use 32-bit st_size)
* Full, 64-bit file identifier (st_ino is 0 when normal stat() is used, and still is)
* W32 File attributes (which stat() doesn't report); in particular, this allows
symlinks to be correctly identified
* Full, 64-bit time, guaranteed (g_stat() uses 32-bit st_*time on 32-bit Windows)
* Allocated file size (as a W32 replacement for the missing st_blocks)
st_mode remains unchanged (thus, no S_ISLNK), so when these are given back to
glib users (via g_stat(), for example, which is now implemented by calling g_win32_stat_utf8),
this field does not contain anything unexpected.
g_lstat() now calls g_win32_lstat_utf8(), which works on symlinks the way it's supposed to.
Also adds the g_win32_readlink_utf8() function, which behaves like readlink()
(including its inability to return 0-terminated strings and inability to say how large
the output buffer should be; these limitations are purely for compatibility with
existing glib code).
Thus, symlink support should now be much better, although far from being complete.
A new W32-only test in gio/tests/file.c highlights the following features:
* allocated size
* 64-bit time
* unique file IDs

Add a simple UNIX-only API that is used to create a GDir object from a
DIR* that is aquired using opendir() or fdopendir().
This makes it possible to use GDir with openat(), which in turn will
allow use of GDir in the existing GLocalFile implementation of
g_file_measure_disk_usage(), avoiding the current MSVC compatibility
problems there.
Also add an API similar to g_dir_open(), but without the GError handling
(since we want to create a better error message from inside of
glocalfile.c).

patch and for reviews.

Add the GLIB_AVAILABLE_IN_ALL annotation to all old functions (that
haven't already been annotated with the GLIB_AVAILABLE_IN_* macros or a
deprecation macro).
If we discover in the future that we cannot use only one macro on
Windows, it will be an easy sed patch to fix that.

Rather than using "extern" declarations of these win32 functions
everywhere they're needed, just prototype them in glib-private.h.
(Which also fixes the fact that they weren't prototyped in the files
where they're defined.)

This avoids collecting the zombie child, which means that the PID
can't be reused. This prevents possible race conditions that might
occur were one to send e.g. SIGTERM to a child.
This race condition has always existed due to the way we called
waitpid() for the app, but the window was widened when we moved the
waitpid() calls into a separate thread.
If waitid() isn't available, we return NULL, and consumers of this
private API (namely, GSubprocess) will need to handle that.

0 is not a valid source id, but for long-lived programs that rapidly
create/destroy sources, it's possible for the source id to overflow.
We should handle this, because the documentation implies we will.

Some programs attempt to use libglib (or even libgio) when setuid.
For a long time, GTK+ simply aborted if launched in this
configuration, but we never had a real policy for GLib.
I'm not sure whether we should advertise such support. However, given
that there are real-world programs that do this currently, we can make
them safer with not too much effort.
Better to fix a problem caused by an interaction between two
components in *both* places if possible.
This patch adds a private function g_check_setuid() which is used to
first ensure we don't run an external dbus-launch binary if
DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS isn't set.
Second, we also ensure the local VFS is used in this case. The
gdaemonvfs extension point will end up talking to the session bus
which is typically undesirable in a setuid context.
Implementing g_check_setuid() is interesting - whether or not we're
running in a privilege-escalated path is operating system specific.
Note that GTK+'s code to check euid versus uid worked historically on
Unix, more modern systems have filesystem capabilities and SELinux
domain transitions, neither of which are captured by the uid
comparison.
On Linux/glibc, the way this works is that the kernel sets an
AT_SECURE flag in the ELF auxiliary vector, and glibc looks for it on
startup. If found, then glibc sets a public-but-undocumented
__libc_enable_secure variable which we can use. Unfortunately, while
it *previously* worked to check this variable, a combination of newer
binutils and RPM break it:
http://www.openwall.com/lists/owl-dev/2012/08/14/1
So for now on Linux/glibc, we fall back to the historical Unix version
until we get glibc fixed.
On some BSD variants, there is a issetugid() function. On other Unix
variants, we fall back to what GTK+ has been doing.

Historically we've added random symbols to the public API with warnings
that they're private; examples are:
glib_gettext(), glib_pgettext()
g_thread_functions_for_glib_use, g_thread_use_default_impl, etc.
And we almost added "GWakeup" to public API just to share between glib and
gio.
This new glib__private__() API exports a hidden vtable, and adds a macro
GLIB_PRIVATE_CALL() that makes it generally convenient to use.
This adds an extremely tiny cost for the double indirection; but it has
the benefit that we don't need to either:
1) compile the code into both glib and gio (like GWakeup), with the
inefficiency that implies.
2) Export a "do not use this" symbol; the serious problem with this is
that someone CAN use it pretty easily. Particularly if we document
it. It's far, far harder to peek into a structure without a public
header file.
