Add g_main_context_ref_thread_default(), which always returns a
reffed GMainContext, rather than sometimes returning a (non-reffed)
GMainContext, and sometimes returning NULL. This simplifies the
bookkeeping in any code that needs to keep a reference to the
thread-default context for a while.

This reverts commit c841c2ce3f.
This approach has been an unmitigated disaster. We're getting all sorts
of crashes due to functions that are returning NULL because they can't
find the schema for the default value. The people who get these crashes
are then confused about the root cause of the problem and waste a lot of
time trying to figure it out.
Until we find a better solution, we should go back to what we had
before.

This function implements the following logic:
if (g_variant_is_floating (value))
g_variant_ref_sink (value);
which is used for consuming the return value of callbacks that may or
may not return floating references.
This patch also replaces a few instances of the above code with the new
function (GSettings, GDBus) and lifts a long-standing restriction on the
use of floating values as the return value for signal handlers by
improving g_value_take_variant().

To help cross compilation, don't use glib-genmarshal in our
build. This is easy now that we have g_cclosure_marshal_generic().
In gobject/, add gmarshal.[ch] to git (making the existing entry
points stubs).
In gio/, simply switch to using g_cclosure_marshal_generic().

_GNU_SOURCE must be defined before including any other (system)
header, so defining it in glib-unix.h (and hoping no one has included
anything else before that) is wrong. And the "#define _USE_GNU"
workaround for this problem in gnetworkingprivate.h is even wronger
(and still prone to failure anyway due to single-include guards).
Fix this by defining _GNU_SOURCE in config.h when building against
glibc. In theory this is bad because new releases of glibc may include
symbols that conflict with glib symbols, which could then cause
compile failures. However, most people only see new releases of glibc
when they upgrade their distro, at which point they also generally get
new releases of gcc, which have new warnings/errors to clean up
anyway.

Without getting into a debate about the reasons why you may or may not
want to use unsigned integers, it's sufficient to note that people have
been using them and requesting this functionality.
Bug #641755.
The existing docs are a bit inconsistent in that they say to follow
the dbus convention, but then give an example that doesn't.
This commit changes things to be how Ryan says they should be.
GSettings relies on parts of the schema infromation remaining
unbyteswapped (the strinfo database, for example) while requiring other
parts to be in native order (the default value, constraints, etc.).
Lift the byteswapping into a place where we can do it selectively.
Move all the annotations over from gobject-introspection.
They will not be used directly by the introspection scanner for now,
instead they will be extracted by a script and updated manually
until introspection is properly integrated into the glib build
GSettings internally assumed that a change in key writability implied a
change in value. That may be true for some backends. Let those
backends deal with the situation for themselves.
When binding a boolean setting to a boolean property, invert the values.
This avoids the requirement for writing a pair of mapping functions for
this extremely common case.
Add a test.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=625833
Add a <flags> tag to the schema file format and a flags='' attribute to
go along with. Add some extra test cases for those.
Add new g_settings_{get,set}_flags() calls and support binding to
GParamSpecFlags properties. Add test cases.
Hold the GSettingsKeyInfo as part of the binding structure to save work
on each get/set. Use our copy of this structure to call the internal
get/set APIs. Give more descriptive error messages in the case of
invalid data on sets and retry using the translated default then schema
default value in case of failure to map on reads.
gvdb just dropped the ability to have a separate "options" field. We
now store the options into a GVariant along with the default value.
For now, we use a small shim in GSettingsSchema in order not to touch
too much code. A more complete rewrite will follow.
This represents a change to the schema file format with another likely
to follow. glib-compile-schemas needs to be re-run after installing
this change.
Add GObject introspection annotations so that the length parameter is
correctly detected for g_variant_new_strv(), g_variant_get_strv() and
g_variant_dup_strv(). Also specify that it can be a NULL pointer in
g_variant_get_strv() and g_variant_dup_strv().
For g_settings_set_strv(), detect that a NULL value is allowed, meaning
empty array.
Closes bug #620384.

Length of the array is redundant since it's NULL-terminated. This is not
consistent with many GLib and GTK+ functions, and adds complexity with
no real gain, while these convenience functions should be kept simple.
Closes bug #620312
- hold a lock while accessing the tree of delayed values
- use weak reference counts with the owner object to avoid doing
g_object_notify on a dead object
- dispatch the "has-unapplied" notify to the proper main context
This commit fixes up a few race conditions in the GSettingsBackend, mostly with
respect to change notifications occuring at the same time as the last reference
count on a GSettings is dropped. With GDBus feeding us our incoming signals in
a separate thread, this is something that could easily happen.
