Add a new syntax to override files: if the group name has a ':' in it,
it indicates that we want to override the default values of keys for
only one desktop. For example:
[org.gnome.desktop.interface:Unity]
font-name='Ubuntu 12'
Will override the settings, only if "Unity" is found in
XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP. Multiple per-desktop overrides can be specified
for a given key: the one which comes first in XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP will
be used.

Spotted while running `make check` under Valgrind. While it’s not
necessary to fix memory leaks in glib-compile-schemas (since it’s a
utility which runs briefly then exits), fixing them makes more
legitimate leaks in the Valgrind output more obvious, and means we can
be sure there aren’t leaks in the underlying GLib/GIO code which
glib-compile-schemas is calling.

This commit broke some tests, and I don't have the time
to fix up all the expected output, so I'll revert the changes
to the affected files for now.
This needs to be redone with the necessary test fixes.
Fix a couple of issues in error handling in glib-compile-schemas.
The first problem is that, in case of repeated <summary> or
<description> tags we were still allocating a GString which was never
being freed (due to the throwing of the error resulting in immediate
termination of the parse).
The second problem is that if the repeated <summary> tag also had
attributes, we would attempt to set the GError twice.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=747542
Bug 747209 introduced an error when multiple <summary> or <description>
tags are found for a single key in a GSettings schema. This check
should have been present from the start, but it was left out because the
schema compiler doesn't include these items in the cache file. Even
still -- part of the schema compiler's job is validation, and it should
be enforcing proper syntax here.
Repeated <summary> and <description> tags are a semi-common problem when
intltool has been misconfigured in the build system of a package, but
it's possible to imagine mistakes being made by hand as well.
The idea is that these problems would be caught during the build of a
package and maintainers would be forced to fix their build systems.
An unintended side-effect of this change, however, is that the schema
compiler started ignoring already-installed schemas that contained these
problems, when rebuilding the cache. This means that the installation
of _any_ application would cause the regeneration of the entire cache,
with these already-installed applications being excluded. Without the
schema in the cache, the application would crash on next startup.
The validation check in the gsettings m4 macro passes --strict to the
compiler, which is not used when rebuilding the cache after
installation. Pass this flag down into the parser and only throw the
error in case --strict was given. This will result in the (desired)
build failure without also causing already-installed apps to stop
functioning.
This means that we will not get even a warning about the invalid schema
file in the already-installed case, but that's fine. There is no sense
spamming the user with these messages when they are already quite fatal
for the developer at build time.

This schema compiler was completely ignoring <summary> and
<description> tags. Unfortunately, there are modules out there
who merge translations for these back in, with xml:lang. And
this is giving dconf-editor a hard time. Since this is not
how translations of schemas are meant to be done, just
reject such schema files.
Also add tests exercising the new error handling.

In Windows development environments that have it, <unistd.h> is mostly
just a wrapper around several other native headers (in particular,
<io.h>, which contains read(), close(), etc, and <process.h>, which
contains getpid()). But given that some Windows dev environments don't
have <unistd.h>, everything that uses those functions on Windows
already needed to include the correct Windows header as well, and so
there is never any point to including <unistd.h> on Windows.
Also, remove some <unistd.h> includes (and a few others) that were
unnecessary even on unix.

Ignore qualified (in the XML namespace sense) tags and attributes when
compiling GSettings schemas.
This will allow people to add custom tags and attributes to their schemas
without tripping up the compiler.

Perform a substantial cleanup of the build system with respect to
building and installing testcases.
First, Makefile.decl has been renamed glib.mk and substantially
expanded. We intend to add more stuff here in the future, like canned
rules for mkenums, marshallers, resources, etc.
By default, tests are no longer compiled as part of 'make'. They will
be built when 'make check' is run. The old behaviour can be obtained
with --enable-always-build-tests.
--disable-modular-tests is gone (because tests are no longer built by
default). There is no longer any way to cause 'make check' to be a
no-op, but that's not very useful anyway.
A new glibtests.m4 file is introduced. Along with glib.mk, this
provides for consistent handling of --enable-installed-tests and
--enable-always-build-tests (mentioned above).
Port our various test-installing Makefiles to the new framework.
This patch substantially improves the situation in the toplevel tests/
directory. Things are now somewhat under control there. There were
some tests being built that weren't even being run and we run those now.
The long-running GObject performance tests in this directory have been
removed from 'make check' because they take too long.
As an experiment, 'make check' now runs the testcases on win32 builds,
by default. We can't run them under gtester (since it uses a pipe to
communicate with the subprocess) so just toss them in TESTS. Most of
them are passing on win32.
Things are not quite done here, but this patch is already a substantial
improvement. More to come.
Back in the far-off twentieth century, it was normal on unix
workstations for U+0060 GRAVE ACCENT to be drawn as "‛" and for U+0027
APOSTROPHE to be drawn as "’". This led to the convention of using
them as poor-man's ‛smart quotes’ in ASCII-only text.
However, "'" is now universally drawn as a vertical line, and "`" at a
45-degree angle, making them an `odd couple' when used together.
Unfortunately, there are lots of very old strings in glib, and also
lots of new strings in which people have kept up the old tradition,
perhaps entirely unaware that it used to not look stupid.
Fix this by just using 'dumb quotes' everywhere.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=700746
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.)

For quite some time the recommended usage of GSettings and dconf has
been to use paths like /org/gnome/example/. Use of /apps/ has spilled
over from GConf and is continuing to make its way into a number of
applications as they port.
glib-compile-schemas will now warn about these types of paths being
used. This generates a lot of noise, but hopefully it will reduce the
number of ported applications making this mistake.
It's important to have strict rules for handling of whitespace in
translated strings in GSettings schema files so that the tools
extracting the messages will end up with the same messages as the
runtime calling gettext().
The rules are designed to be simple and unambiguous yet cover most
normal uses in a convenient way.
Those rules are as follows (with rationale):
- for <default> tags, the text content has its leading and trailing
whitespace stripped off, but internal whitespace is not modified in
any way.
This allows for slightly more flexible use of whitespace without
causing that whitespace to appear in the strings for translation.
- for <summary> and <description> tags, the content is split into
paragraphs. Paragraphs are separated by two or more sequential
newline characters. Each paragraph has its leading and trailing
whitespace removed and all other whitespace is normalised to a
single ascii space character. Finally, the paragraphs are rejoined,
inserting exactly two newlines between them.
This allows for longer explanations (particularly in the description
tag) using a natural format that, when normalised, will display
nicely in toolkits.
This patch implements the rules for <default> tags. The schema compiler
currently ignores <summary> and <description> tags.
The fact that we return 0 here makes it clear that this
is not considered an error, so it makes sense to not
write these messages to stderr.

_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.

For child schemas, verify that the named schema actually exists and
issue a warning if not. This error in schema files will cause runtime
errors when iterating over the list of child schemas and attempting to
instantiate each one.
This will move from being merely a warning to a hard error in the
future.
Bug #646039.
Don't store the "none" value for flags into the compiled schema file.
"none" should never appear as a value -- no flags set is indicated by an
empty array.
