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.
`HAVE_COCOA` should be used only in the places where we’re actually
depending on the Cocoa toolkit. It should not be used as a general way
of detecting building on a Darwin-based OS such as macOS.
Conversely, there are a few places in the code where we do want to
specifically detect the Cocoa toolkit (and others where we specifically
want to detect Carbon), so keep `HAVE_COCOA` and `HAVE_CARBON` around.

This reverts commit 476e33c3f3.
We’ve decided to remove `G_OS_DARWIN` in favour of recommending people
use `__APPLE__` instead. As per the discussion on #2802 and linked
issues,
* Adding a new define shifts the complexity from “which of these
platform-provided defines do I use” to “which platform-provided
defines does G_OS_DARWIN use”
* There should ideally be no cases where a user of GLib has to use
their own platform-specific code, since GLib should be providing
appropriate abstractions
* Providing a single `G_OS_DARWIN` to cover all Apple products (macOS
and iOS) hides the complexity of what the user is actually testing:
are they testing for the Mach kernel, the Carbon and/or Cocoa user
space toolkits, macOS vs iOS vs tvOS, etc

G_MODULE_SUFFIX is deprecated now because you will get the wrong
results using it most of the time:
1. The suffix on macOS is usually 'dylib', but it's 'so' when using
Autotools, so there's no way to get the suffix correct using
a pre-processor macro.
2. Prefixes also vary in a platform-specific way. You may or may not have
a 'lib' prefix for the name on Windows and on Cygwin the prefix is
'cyg'.
3. The library name itself can vary per platform. For instance, you may
want to load foo-1.dll on Windows and libfoo.1.dylib on macOS. This
is for libraries, not modules, but that is still a use-case that
people use the GModule API for.
g_module_build_path() does take care of (2) on Cygwin, but it
fundamentally cannot handle the possibility of multiple options for
the module name, since it does not do any I/O. Hence, it is also
deprecated.
Instead, g_module_open() has been improved so that it takes care of
all this by searching the filesystem for combinations of possible
suffixes and prefixes on each platform. Along the way, the
documentation for it was also improved to make it clearer what it
does.

A module must exist forever after it is loaded. If it's not referenced
anywhere, as with some gio tests, ASAN will report direct leaks. Silence

This is intended to provide a uniform interface for controlling whether
the debug output from an application (or service) is emitted, typically
to journald, but actually to wherever the application chooses to output
it.
The main implementation of `GDebugController` is `GDebugControllerDBus`,
which is intended to be used on Linux. Other implementations may be
added in future for other platforms, or larger applications may want to
provide their own implementation which integrates with their ecosystem.
The `GDebugControllerDBus` implementation exposes a D-Bus interface at
`/org/gtk/Debugging` with a method to enable or disable debug
output at runtime.
This could be used by external harnesses, such as GNOME Builder or
systemd, to give a uniform way to get debug output from an application.

Glib cannot be built statically on Windows because glib, gobject and gio
modules need to perform specific initialization when DLL are loaded and
cleanup when unloaded. Those initializations and cleanups are performed
using the DllMain function which is not called with static builds.
Issue is known for a while and solutions were already proposed but never
merged (see: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/glib/-/issues/692). Last
patch is from version 2.36.x and since then the
"constructor/destructor" mechanism has been implemented and used in
other part of the system.
This patch takes back the old idea and updates it to the last version of
glib to allow static compilation on Windows.
WARNING: because DllMain doesn't exist anymore in static compilation
mode, there is no easy way of knowing when a Windows thread finishes.
This patch implements a workaround for glib threads created by calling
g_thread_new(), so all glib threads created through glib API will behave
exactly the same way in static and dynamic compilation modes.
Unfortunately, Windows threads created by using CreateThread() or
_beginthread/ex() will not work with glib TLS functions. If users need
absolutely to use a thread NOT created with glib API under Windows and
in static compilation mode, they should not use glib functions within
their thread or they may encounter memory leaks when the thread finishes.
This should not be an issue as users should use exclusively the glib API
to manipulate threads in order to be cross-platform compatible and this
would be very unlikely and cumbersome that they may mix up Windows native
threads API with glib one.
Closes#692
Port all existing calls in GLib to the new API so that they can receive
more detailed error information (although none of them actually make use
of it at the moment).
This also serves to test the new API better through use.

While all of the current callers of _g_io_module_get_default() want to

Even if the modules in the given directory never get chosen to be used,
loading arbitrary code from a user-provided directory is not safe when
running as setuid, as the process’ environment comes from an untrusted
source.

In ostree based systems, such as flatpak and fedora silverblue, the
time of modification of every system file is epoch 0, including
giomodule.cache, which means that every module is loaded and unloaded
every time.
The solution is to use the change time of the file as well. In a typical
system, it is equal to the mtime, and in an ostree based system, since
the directory is mounted as read-only, the user cannot add a module and
we must assume that the cache file corresponds to the modules.
This was mostly machine generated with the following command:
```
codespell \
--builtin clear,rare,usage \
--skip './po/*' --skip './.git/*' --skip './NEWS*' \
--write-changes .
```
using the latest git version of `codespell` as per [these
instructions](https://github.com/codespell-project/codespell#user-content-updating).
Then I manually checked each change using `git add -p`, made a few
manual fixups and dropped a load of incorrect changes.
There are still some outdated or loaded terms used in GLib, mostly to do
with git branch terminology. They will need to be changed later as part
of a wider migration of git terminology.

Interpret the value "help" for environment variables that
are passed to _g_io_module_get_default(), and print the
names and priorities of available extensions.
This lets users explore what is available, and can be helpful
in figuring out why a certain extension was chosen as default.
It is similar in spirit to what we already do with environment
variables like G_DEBUG.
This is useful for debugging in many situations. It’ll be printed with
G_MESSAGES_DEBUG=GLib-GIO or G_MESSAGES_DEBUG=all.
Mostly I need it for debugging the default GNetworkMonitor, but it will
