We have a common pattern for reference counting in GLib, but we always
implement it with ad hoc code. This is a good chance at trying to
standardise the implementation and make it public, so that other code
using GLib can take advantage of shared behaviour and semantics.
Instead of simply taking an integer variable, we should create type
aliases, to immediately distinguish the reference counting semantics of
the code; we can handle mixing atomic reference counting with a
non-atomic type (and vice versa) by using differently signed values for
the atomic and non-atomic cases.
The gatomicrefcount type is modelled on the Linux kernel refcount_t
type; the grefcount type is added to let single-threaded code bases to
avoid paying the price of atomic memory barriers on reference counting
operations.
On an Android build, API 22, at least, I got a:
> warning: "UNIX_PATH_MAX" redefined
We were currently defining it as:
> #define UNIX_PATH_MAX sizeof (((struct sockaddr_un *) 0)->sun_path)
Whereas Android's headers define this variable of sockaddr_un as:
> char sun_path[UNIX_PATH_MAX];
So by definition, we will still get the right result in the end by just
using the original value of UNIX_PATH_MAX.
C_IN macro was added years ago in bcbaf1bef0, using same value as the
internal code of Android with the reasonning that "some parts of the API
used by the resolver objects is not public in the Android NDK (yet)".
Well since then things are changed, since it is definitely available (at
least on the API 22 of Android which I am using) in the public header
arpa/nameser_compat.h.
Let's just add a #ifndef to handle both cases when you build with an
older or recent API.
Let people know that Visual Studio 2015 and later provide a /utf-8
option to eliminate the need to set the System's non-Unicode locale and
the subsequent reboot.
Also let people know that it is recommended to have GIT for Windows
installed so that some dependencies' sources can be downloaded and built
along with GLib et al when needed.
Please see MR !65 for a discussion on the reasoning why GIT for Windows
is recommended.
Meson has the ability to classify tests according to "suites", a list of
tags. This is especially useful when we want to run specific sets of
tests — e.g. only GLib's tests — instead of the whole test suite. It
also allows us to classify special tests, like "slow" ones, so that we
can only run them when needed.
FIONREAD ioctl on Linux reports the size of payload on UDP sockets.
However, other systems usually add internal header size to the reported
size, which vary between different operating systems and socket types.
To make it work on more systems, we should follow what we do on Windows
instead of using this unreliable FIONREAD ioctl.
This fixes socket test on FreeBSD.
libelf, just like libc, is not a single project. It is an interface
which can be implemented independently by different operating systems.
Therefore, we cannot expect all systems to provide a .pc file, and we
should fallback to cc.find_library and cc.has_function like what we
already do in autotools build.
Non-glibc gettext implementation seems to decide the language from
LC_MESSAGES environment variable instead of LC_MESSAGES locale, so
we should set both environment variable and locale when running tests
which need translation from specific languages.
G_IO_ERROR_NOT_SUPPORTED is used as parameter for g_set_io_error(),
however, errno is expected instead and thus error code is set to 0,
which is wrong. Let's use ENOTSUP instead.
To be honest, I am not sure why, but in some special environments (e.g.
our CI integration) can happen, that file device number is different from
parent device number. Return "Unable to find or create trash directory for
%s" error from g_local_file_trash() in that case and also set
G_FILE_ATTRIBUTE_ACCESS_CAN_TRASH appropriately.
Make the --help output more consistent with the man page, making it more
obvious that --sourcedir only applies to the files referenced in FILE,
not to the location of FILE itself.

Change G_FILE_ATTRIBUTE_ACCESS_CAN_TRASH logic to be consistent
with recent g_local_file_trash changes, i.e. set this to FALSE for
locations on system-internal mounts.

New bugs appears periodically in nautilus/gvfs/glib components that not
all trashed files are shown in trash:///. It used to be problem mostly
for "bind mounts" and btrfs subvolumes only. Currently, it is also
problem for nfs, cifs and other filesystems, which have been recently
added by commmit 0d69462f on the list of system internal filesystems.
This happens because the trash backend doesn't monitor files on system
internal mounts. Such behavior is not against the trash-spec, however,
we should be consistent within GNOME.
This behavior has the nice side-effect that it solves issues with hangs
on network filesystems: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/glib/issues/605,
because those are currently on the system internal filesystem list.

We have not updated nor used this script for a long time, and nowadays
Meson makes it much easier to build on Windows for either Visual Studio
or MinGW, even straight from a GIT checkout, so it's about time that we
drop the glib-zip script from the source tree.
Autoconf macro AC_HEADER_MAJOR doesn't define a macro in config.h when
major is defined in sys/types.h. This was not a problem because major
is assumed to be always available. However, commit aefffa3fbc
changes this assumption in order to fix build on systems without major,
which causes code using major to be disabled on systems putting major
in sys/types.h.
This commit defines a new macro MAJOR_IN_TYPES for both autotools and
meson builds to make major useful on these systems again.
cc.has_header checks whether a header exists without knowing whether it
can be used. This is a problem on FreeBSD because its malloc.h is a
header with an '#error' line which always throw compilation error. To
avoid false positive in the check result, we use cc.compiles to do a
full compilation test instead of cc.has_header which only does check
with preprocessor.
gio-querymodules-wrapper.py is copied from glib-networking. This python
wrapper script is needed because meson.build cannot check for DESTDIR
env variable itself, unlike Makefile.am. It is used to update
giomodule.cache file when installing GIO modules like fam.
