Making this validation code public allows projects to validate a
GParamSpec name before creating it. While hard-coded GParamSpec don't
need this, we can't afford crashing the main program for dynamically
generated GParamSpec from user-created data.
In such case, we will need to validate the param names and return errors
instead of trying to create a GParamSpec with invalid names.
Includes modifications from Philip Withnall and Emmanuele Bassi to
rearrange the new function addition and split it into one function for
GParamSpecs and one for GSignals.
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`.

Closes: #1860
It allows to disconnect a signal handler from GObject instance and at the same
time to nullify the signal handler.
Provided also a macro for handler type conversion.
gtk-doc doesn’t make the return type clear, because these are macros
rather than inline functions, so people often have to guess at the
return type (or look it up from g_signal_connect_closure(), but that’s
hard work).
Make it clear that the return type for handler IDs is gulong. While
there, fix the capitalisation of ‘id’ to ‘ID’ in a few places.
Some compilers have trouble with such sequences. Visual C++ may or may
not generate a warning in this particular case depending on if the
local code page supports an ellipsis.

It’s quite common to see naked g_signal_connect() calls without a paired
g_signal_handler_disconnect(). This is commonly a bug which could lead
to uses of the callback user data after it’s been freed.
Document the best practices for avoiding this kind of bug by properly
disconnecting all signal handlers.

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.

This lets you set a va_marshaller on your signal which will be
propagated to all closures for the signal. Also, automatically
uses the generica va_marshaller if you specify a NULL c_marshaller.

Similar to G_PARAM_DEPRECATED. It will warn only for users of the
signals, so a signal can still be emited without warning, for
compatibility reasons.
Apparently, there is no way user flags could have been used before,
so that shouldn't break anyone.

Some links were broken due to typos, because functionality was removed
in GLib 2.0 or for various other reasons. Fix up as many of them as is
reasonable.
In some cases, signal arguments have to be collected, even if there are i
no signal handlers connected (e.g. for GVariant parameters, where collection
consumes a floating variant).
Based on a patch by Christian Persch.

Bug 541208 – Functions to easily install and use signals without
class struct slot
* gobject.symbols
* gsignal.[ch] (g_signal_new_class_handler): the same as
_gtk_binding_signal_new(), to install signals with a callback
instead of a class struct slot as class closure.
The next two functions are C convenience and much easier to use
than the generic overriding and chaining APIs which are intended
primarily for language bindings:
(g_signal_override_class_handler): to override a signal with a
callback instead of a class struct slot.
(g_signal_chain_from_overridden_handler): to chain up from a
signal without class struct slot. The API is similar to
g_signal_emit().
svn path=/trunk/; revision=7157
Thu Sep 22 12:42:12 2005 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* gparam.c (g_param_spec_internal): fix pspec->name assignment which
needs to be strdup()ed for non G_PARAM_STATIC_NAME pspecs. this fixes
recently introduced crashes during plugin unloading.
also, ensure that static pspec names are canonicalized.
* gsignal.h: reverted last change from matthias, we don't guarantee
that type ids aren't mangled with G_SIGNAL_TYPE_STATIC_SCOPE anywhere.
2005-09-20 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
* gsignal.h (struct _GSignalQuery): Remove the misleading comment
about G_SIGNAL_TYPE_STATIC_SCOPE, since we don't allow that
on return types.
Fri Sep 12 16:31:40 2003 Owen Taylor <otaylor@redhat.com>
* gsignal.[ch]: Add g_signal_accumulator_true_handled(), to
do TRUE-stops-emit signals.
* Makefile.am: Move testoverride.c and testifaceinit.c to
tests/gobject.
Tue Mar 26 15:21:47 2002 Owen Taylor <otaylor@redhat.com>
* gsignal.h (g_signal_handlers_*_by_func): Add explicit
cast of G_SIGNAL_MATCH_FUNC | G_SIGNAL_MATCH_DATA to
GSignalMatchType so that these macros work for C++.
(#76454, Damien Sandras)
Tue Dec 18 21:39:57 2001 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* testoverride.c: added some assertions to test
g_signal_get_invocation_hint().
* gsignal.[hc]: remove signal_id argument from
g_signal_chain_from_overridden(), the parameters are assumed to match
the innermost signal currently in emission for this instance.
added g_signal_get_invocation_hint() to figure the invocation hint
of the innermost signal emission of an instance.
* gsignal.c (g_signal_list_ids): fix G_BSEARCH_ARRAY_NODES() to
access a bsearch array and not a pointer to it (discovered by
Sven Neumann).
2001-12-08 Christopher Blizzard <blizzard@redhat.com>
* gsignal.h (g_signal_connect): Explicitly add a cast to the last
argument so that the macro will work from C++.
Mon Nov 19 14:35:56 2001 Owen Taylor <otaylor@redhat.com>
* *.h: Improve the detection of invalid includes by moving
the test outside the duplicate include guards.
* gsourceclosure.c (g_source_set_closure): Doc fix.
Sat Nov 17 14:10:35 2001 Owen Taylor <otaylor@redhat.com>
* glib/gbsearcharray.h: Include gtypes.h not gobject/gtype.h
* glib/glib-object.h gobject/*.h: Prevent headers from
being included directly except when compiling GObject.
* gobject/gvaluecollector.h: Include glib-object.h so that
this file can be included directly, since we don't
include it _from_ glib-object.h.
* gobject/gtype.c: Remove struct _GValue hack since we
now include glib/gvaluecollector.h which simply pulls in
glib-object.h.
Tue Nov 13 23:18:10 2001 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* gsignal.[hc]: add API for chaining:
g_signal_chain_from_overridden() and g_signal_override_class_closure(),
implementation yet to come.
* gtype.[hc], Makefile.am: provide G_LOG_DOMAIN as compile flag.
* gparam.[hc]: s/g_param_get/g_param_spec_get/ for get_nick,
get_name and get_blurb, to be consistent with the rest of the
g_param_spec_*() functions.
* gparamspecs.[hc]: got rid of bogus GClosure paramspec.
G_TYPE_CLOSURE is a boxed type already.
Sat Jun 30 23:14:32 2001 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* glib/glist.[hc]: added g_list_insert_before().
* glib/gslist.c (g_slist_insert_before): provide an implementation,
prototype was already present...
Sat Jun 30 11:07:00 2001 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* gobject.[hc]: provide weak_ref/weak_unref functions,
invoked from ->dispose. renamed ->shutdown() to ->dispose(),
provide "public" API entry here: g_object_run_dispose(), this
fucntion should _only_ be called from object system implementations
(e.g. gtkobject.c) if at all.
* gtypemodule.c (g_type_module_dispose): s/shutdown/dispose/
* gsignal.h: removed compat aliases.
* gobject.c (g_object_connect): support data objects.
Thu Jun 28 16:57:44 2001 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* configure.in (GLIB_MICRO_VERSION): up version number to 1.3.7,
interface age 0, binary age 0.
Thu Jun 28 16:42:49 2001 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>

(g_signal_list_ids): give elaborate warnings about invalid types,
non-instantiatable types and unloaded types that we can't operate on.

g_signal_block_by_func -> g_signal_handlers_block_by_func
g_signal_unblock_by_func -> g_signal_handlers_unblock_by_func
added GConnectType to simplify (..gboolean swapped, gboolean after)
args.

bits into this function.
* gparam.[hc]: added g_param_spec_pool_belongings(), completed
g_param_spec_pool_list(). added GParameter for _setv() functions.
* gobject.[hc]: use gobjectnotifyqueue.h implementation now.
got rid of properties_changed signal.
new functions g_object_newv(), g_object_class_list_properties().

out with a warning.
(g_main_context_check): same here.
* gmain.c (g_main_context_check): before returning due to
changed pollfds, unlock context.

* gsignal.[hc] (g_signal_stop_emission_by_name): added variant
to stop signal emissions through a detailed_signal string.
* gsignal.c (signal_emit_R) (g_signal_emit_valist): account for
the fact that g_value_* functions may cause signal emissons by
unlocking the global signal system lock around g_value_* functions.
(signal_emit_unlocked_R): renamed this from signal_emit_R() to reflect
that this functions acquires the lock on its own now.
Mon May 14 01:49:01 2001 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* gsignal.[hc] (g_signal_handler_is_connected): new function
to check whether a handler is still connected to an instance
