Various tests have leaks where it isn't clear whether the data is
intentionally not freed, or leaked due to a bug. If we mark these
tests as TODO, we can skip them under AddressSanitizer and get the
rest to pass, giving us a baseline from which to avoid regressions.

AddressSanitizer detects memory leaks, NULL parameters where only a
non-NULL parameter is expected, and other suspicious behaviour, so if
we try to test that sort of thing we can expect it to fail.

AddressSanitizer, UndefinedBehaviourSanitizer and probably others
involve adding instrumentation into the code under test, which doesn't
go well with LD_PRELOAD modules that absolutely need to be
self-contained.

We have a "good" implementation of g_clear_signal_handler() in
form of a macro. Use it, and don't duplicate the code.
Also add a comment to the documentation that "instance" in fact must
not point to a valid GObject instance -- if the handler ID is unset.
Also reword the documentation about the reasoning for why a macro
version exists. The reason is not to use the function "without
pointer cast". I don't think the non-macro version requires any
pointer cast, since "instance" is a void pointer. Was this referring
to the handler_id_ptr? That doesn't seem right either, because the
caller should always provide a "gulong *" pointer and nothing else.
Preferably macros behave function-like to minimize surprises. That
means for example that they evaluate all arguments exactly once.
Rework g_clear_signal_handler() to assign the macro parameters
to auto variables so they are accessed exactly once.
Also, drop the static assert for the size of (*handler_id_ptr).
As we now assign to a "gulong *" pointer, the compiler already
checks the types. In fact, the check is now stricter than before.
Previously it would have allowed a pointer to a "signed long".
This is a change in behavior of the macro and the stricter compile
check could cause a build failure with broken code.
Also, clear the handler id first, before calling
g_signal_handler_disconnect(). Disconnecting a signal invokes the
destroy notify, which can have side effects. It just feels cleaner
to first reset the *_handler_id_ptr, before those side effects
can happen. Of course, in practice it makes little difference.
g_signal_new_valist() is called by g_signal_new(), which is probably
the most common way to create a signal.
Also, in almost all cases is the number of signal parameters small.
Let's optimize for that by using a stack allocated buffer if we have
few parameters.
We preallocate buffers that are used after forked. That is because
malloc()/free() are not async-signal-safe and must not be used between
fork() and exec().
However, for the child process that exits without fork, valgrind wrongly
reports these buffers as leaked.
That can be suppressed with "--child-silent-after-fork=yes", but it is
cumbersome.
Work around by trying to allocate the buffers on the stack. At
least in the common cases where the pointers are small enough
so that we can reasonably do that.
If the buffers happen to be large, we still allocate them on the heap
and the problem still happens. Maybe we could have also allocated them
as thread_local, but currently glib doesn't use that.

We format the message into a string twice, once for each byte-order,
but only return the one corresponding to the last byte-order to the
caller. This means we need to free the first one.

do_exec() and g_execute() rely on being passed a NULL search path
if we intend to avoid searching the PATH, but since the refactoring
in commit 62ce66d4, this was never done. This resulted in some spawn
calls searching the PATH when it was not intended.
Spawn calls that go through the posix_spawn fast-path were unaffected.
The deprecated gtester utility, as used in GTK 3, relies on the
ability to run an executable from the current working directory by
omitting the G_SPAWN_SEARCH_PATH flag. This *mostly* worked, because
our fallback PATH ends with ".". However, if an executable of the
same name existed in /usr/bin or /bin, it would run that instead of the
intended test: in particular, GTK 3's build-time tests failed if
ImageMagick happens to be installed, because gtester would accidentally
run display(1) instead of testsuite/gdk/display.

That changes the return type of functions like g_object_ref() that can
break C++ applications like Webkit. Note that it is not an ABI break.
It must thus be opt-in the same way we did when adding this to
g_object_ref() for GNU C compilers in the first place. Unfortunately it
cannot be done directly in gmacros.h because GLIB_VERSION_2_68 is not
defined there, and gversionmacros.h cannot be included there because
there is some strict ordering in which those headers must be included.
This means that applications that does not define
GLIB_VERSION_MIN_REQUIRED will still get an API break, so we encourage
them to declare their minimum requirement to avoir such issues in the
future too.
clang++ checks the 2nd args of __atomic_compare_exchange_n() has the
same type as the first, which fails when 2nd arg is nullptr which is of
type nullptr_t.
Ideally it should do `glib_typeof (*(atomic)) gapcae_oldval = (oldval);`
to ensure oldval and atomic have compatible types but unfortunately that
does not work neither.
Since that function never has been typesafe, and it is not even
attempting to use glib_typeof in case __ATOMIC_SEQ_CST is not defined,
drop it in __atomic_ case too.
Fixes issue #2226.
There are various places glib uses __typeof__ for type safety, but
that's a GNUC extension. C++11 has standard decltype() that does a
similar job, at least for cases we care about.
This avoids C++ code to always have to cast return value of
g_object_ref() which was causing type kind of error:
error: invalid conversion from ‘gpointer’ {aka ‘void*’} to
‘GstElementFactory*’ {aka ‘_GstElementFactory*’} [-fpermissive]
aclocal's ability to compare the version of macros and use the latest

Run autoupdate on glib-2.0.m4 to change AC_TRY_RUN and AC_TRY_LINK into

The macros used in the alternative existed for long enough that there
shouldn't be a problem with backwards compatibility.
