Add support for receiving multiple messages with a single system call,

tests.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=751924
This complements the GOutputMessage struct. It will shortly be used for
adding a g_socket_receive_messages() function, but needs to be committed
first to allow some internal refactoring of GSocket.

GListStore already has a g_list_store_insert_sorted function,
which can be used to keep the list sorted according to a fixed
sort function. But if the sort function changes (as e.g. with
sort columns in a list UI), the entire list needs to be
resorted. In that case, you want g_list_store_sort().

This is meant for opaque, non-POSIX-like backends to indicate that the
URI is not persistent. Applications should look at
G_FILE_ATTRIBUTE_STANDARD_SYMLINK_TARGET for the persistent URI.
Examples of such backends could be a portal for letting sandboxed
applications access the file-system, or a database-backed storage like
Google Drive.
In these cases, the user visible file and folder names are different
from the real identifiers, used by the backend. So, a request to
create google-drive://user@gmail.com/foo/New\ File, would actually
lead to google-drive://user@gmail.com/foo/bar on the server even though
the user visible name is still "New File". Since the server-defined URI
is persistent and sanity-checked by the backend, it is recommended that
applications switch to it as soon as possible. Backends will try to
keep a mapping from "fake" to "real" URIs, but those are only on a
best effort basis. They might not be persistent or have the same
guarantees as the "real" URIs.

Fix a few typical problems, and also stop wrapping the inline definition

This can be used to query whether the task has completed, in the sense
that it has had a result set on it, and has already – or will soon –
invoke its callback function.
Notifications for this property are emitted immediately after the task’s
main callback, in the same main context as that callback. This allows
for multiple bits of code to listen for completion of the GTask, which
opens the door for blocking on cancellation of the GTask and improved
handling of ‘pending’ behaviour.

g_application_bind_busy_property() had the restriction that only one

Add g_auto() and g_autoptr() as helpers for declaring variables with
automatic cleanup.
Add some macros to help types define cleanup functions for themselves.
Going forward it will be an expectation that people use this macro when
creating a new type, even if they do not intend to use the auto-cleanup
functionality for themselves.
These new macros only work on GCC and clang, which is why we resisted
adding them for so long. There exist many people who are only
interested in writing programs for these compilers, however, and a
similar API in libgsystem has proven to be extremely popular, so let's
expose this functionality to an even wider audience.
We ignore deprecation warnings when emitting the free functions, which
seems suspicious. The reason that we do this is not because we want to
call deprecated functions, but just the opposite: sometimes the free
function will be an _unref() function that is only AVAILABLE_IN newer
versions, and these warnings are also implemented as deprecation
warnings.

Along the same lines as g_clear_object(), g_set_object() is a
convenience function to update a GObject pointer, handling reference
counting transparently and correctly.
Specifically, it handles the case where a pointer is set to its current
value. If handled naïvely, that could result in the object instance
being finalised. In the following code, that happens when
(my_obj == new_value) and the object has a single reference:
g_clear_object (&my_obj);
my_obj = g_object_ref (new_value);
It also simplifies boilerplate code such as set_property()
implementations, which are otherwise long and boring.
Test cases included.

This is a convenience method for creating a GNetworkAddress which is
guaranteed to return IPv4 and IPv6 loopback addresses. The program
cannot guarantee that 'localhost' will resolve to both types of
address, so programs which wish to connect to a local service over
either IPv4 or IPv6 must currently manually create an IPv4 and another
IPv6 socket, and detect which of the two are working. This new API
allows the existing GSocketConnectable machinery to be used to
automate that.
Based on a patch from Philip Withnall.

This function adds a single main option entry to be handeled by
GApplication. The option entry has it arg_data field set to NULL
and will be added to the applications packed_options.

GOptionEntry.

In addition to the standard "192.168.1.1" format, there are numerous
legacy IPv4 address formats (such as "192.168.257",
"0xc0.0xa8.0x01.0x01", "0300.0250.0001.0001", "3232235777", and
"0xc0a80101"). However, none of these forms are ever used any more
except in phishing attempts. GLib wasn't supposed to be accepting
these addresses (neither g_hostname_is_ip_address() nor
g_inet_address_new_from_string() recognizes them), but getaddrinfo()
accepts them, and so the parts of gio that use getaddrinfo()
accidentally did accept those formats.

Since all element markup is now gone from the doc comments,
we can turn off the gtk-doc sgml mode, which means that from

Add support for parsing command line options with GApplication.
You can add GOptionGroup and GOptionEntry using two new APIs:
g_application_add_option_group() and
g_application_add_main_option_entries().
Also add a "handle-local-options" signal that allows handling of
commandline arguments in the local process without having to override
local_command_line.
As a special feature, you can have a %NULL @arg_data in a GOptionEntry
which will cause the argument to be stored in a GVariantDict. This
dictionary is available for inspection and modification by the
"handle-local-options" signal and can be forwarded to the primary
instance in cases of command line invocation (where it can be fetched
using g_application_command_line_get_options()).

Slightly expand on the documentation about casting varargs when
constructing GVariants, and link to it from all the functions where it’s
a necessary consideration.
Add an example of passing flags to a ‘t’ type variable (guint64).

This was a feature intended from the very beginning that somehow never
got written. It's a way to replace these sort of error messages out of

unable to find a common type:
[1, 2, 3, 'str']

Most GErrors, such as GSomethingError, have a function to get
their quark that looks like g_something_error_quark(),
so bindings (such as gtkmm) would expect GVariantParseError
to have g_variant_parse_error_quark(). Instead this had
g_variant_parser_get_error_quark().
This deprecates the old function and adds the correct one,
making life easier for gtkmm (and maybe others).

Since the initial addition of BeOS support in 1999, there has only
been one update to it (in 2005, and it wasn't even very big). GLib is
known to not currently build on Haiku (or presumably actual BeOS)
without additional patching, and the fact that there isn't a single
G_OS_BEOS check in gio/ is suspicious.
Additionally, other than the GModule implementation, all of the
existing G_OS_BEOS checks are either (a) "G_OS_UNIX || G_OS_BEOS", or
(b) random minor POSIXy tweaks (include this header file rather than
that one, etc), suggesting that if we were going to support Haiku, it
would probably be simpler to treat it as a special kind of G_OS_UNIX
(as we do with Mac OS X) rather than as its own completely different
thing.
So, kill G_OS_BEOS.

g_settings_list_schemas() and g_settings_list_relocatable_schemas() are

Add an API to read the summary and description from the .xml schema
files.
This will be used by dconf-editor and gnome-tweak-tool.
This API is a bit heavy -- it parses the XML and builds a table. It
also loads gettext domains for translation. It only does these things
if it is used, however, so it will not impact normal applications.
We store the summary/description in a pair of hash tables on the schema
source (which we have a backref to as of a few commits ago). We can't
use a global table because people might want to request summary and
description from non-default sources. We don't want to use per-schema
tables because we'd have to reparse the directory every time (since we
cannot guess which file a schema may have been in).

This indicates whether the thumbnail (given by G_FILE_ATTRIBUTE_THUMBNAIL_PATH)
is valid — i.e. to represent the file in its current state. If
G_FILE_ATTRIBUTE_THUMBNAIL_IS_VALID is FALSE (for a normal _or_ failed
thumbnail) it means the file has changed since the thumbnail was generated, and
the thumbnail is out of date.
Part of checking thumbnail validity (by the spec) involves parsing
headers out of the thumbnail .png so we include some (small) code to do
that in a separate file. We will likely want to copy this code to gvfs
to do the same for GVfsFile.

2) Standard GIO-style async API for wait() with cancellation

For some time, the desktop file specification has supported "additional
application actions". This is intended to allow for additional methods
of starting an app, such as a mail client having a "Compose New Message"
action that brings up the compose window instead of the folder list.
This patch adds support for this with a relatively minimal API.
In the case that the application is a GApplication and DBusActivatable,
desktop actions are translated into GActions that have been added to the
application with g_action_map_add_action(). This more or less closes
the loop on being able to activate an application with an action
invocation (instead of 'activate').

As it turns out, we have examples of internal functions called

This will clear up the warnings about EXTRA_DIST being defined once in
gtk-doc.make and again in Makefile.decl.
Add a pair of functions for returning strings that don't need to be
freed. This is a bit of a hack but it will turn the 99% case of using
these functions from:
gchar *tmp;

fd = open (tmp, ...);
g_free (tmp);
to:
fd = open (g_test_get_filename (...), ...);
which is a pretty substantial win.

g_test_trap_fork() doesn't work on Windows and is potentially flaky on
unix anyway given the fork-but-don't-exec. Replace it with
g_test_trap_subprocess(), which re-spawns the same program with
arguments telling it to run a specific (otherwise-ignored) test case.
Make the existing g_test_trap_fork() unit tests be unix-only (they
never passed on Windows anyway), and add a parallel set of
g_test_trap_subprocess() tests.
Also fix the logic of gtestutils's "-p" argument (which is used by the
subprocess tests); previously if you had tests "/foo/bar" and
"/foo/bar/baz", and ran the test program with "-p /foo/bar/baz", it
would run "/foo/bar" too. Fix that and add tests.

The way of getting the default value out of a GParamSpec is to allocate
a GValue, initialise it, then call g_param_spec_set_default() to set the
default value into that GValue.
This is exactly how we handle setting the default value for all of the
construct properties that were not explicitly passed to g_object_new().
Instead of doing the alloc/init/store on all construct properties on
every call to g_object_new(), we can cache those GValues in the private
data of the GParamSpec itself and reuse them.
This patch does not actually make that change to g_object_new() yet, but
it adds the API to GParamSpec so that a future patch to GObject can make
the change.

Since instance private data is now always at a constant offset to the
instance pointer, we can add an accessor for it that doesn't also
require an instance.
The idea is that classes can call this from their class_init and store
it in a file-scoped static variable and use that to find their private
data on instances very quickly, without a priv pointer.

GBytesIcon is an icon that has a GBytes inside of it where the GBytes

Lots of people have variously asked for APIs like
g_variant_new_string_printf() in order to avoid having to use
g_strdup_printf(), create a GVariant using g_variant_new_string(), then
free the temporary string.
Instead of supporting that, plus a million other potential cases,
introduce g_variant_new_take_string() as a compromise.
It's not possible to write:
v = g_variant_new_take_string (g_strdup_printf (....));
to get the desired result and avoid the extra copies. In addition, it
works with many other functions.

This feature is intended for clients that want to signal a desktop shell
their busy state, for instance because a long-running operation is

The API works in a similar way to g_application_hold and
g_application_release: applications can call g_application_mark_busy()
to increase a counter that will keep the application marked as busy
until the counter reaches zero again.
The busy state is exported read-only on the org.gtk.Application interface
for clients to use.

There are two benefits to this:
1) We can centralize any operating system specific knowledge of
close-vs-EINTR handling. For example, while on Linux we should never
retry, if someone cared enough later about HP-UX, they could come by
and change this one spot.
2) For places that do care about the return value and want to provide
the caller with a GError, this function makes it convenient to do so.
Note that gspawn.c had an incorrect EINTR loop-retry around close().

Adding file descriptors to a GSource provides similar functionality to
the old g_source_add_poll() API with two main differences.
First: the list of handles is managed internally and therefore users are
prevented from randomly modifying the ->events field. This prepares us
for an epoll future where changing the event mask is a syscall.
Second: keeping the list internally allows us to check the ->revents for
events for ourselves, allowing the source to skip implementing
check/prepare. This also prepares us for the future by allowing an
implementation that doesn't need to iterate over all of the sources
every time.

g_test_trap_fork() doesn't work on Windows and is potentially flaky on
unix anyway given the fork-but-don't-exec. Replace it with
g_test_trap_subprocess(), which re-spawns the same program with

never passed on Windows anyway), and add a parallel set of
g_test_trap_subprocess() tests.

Install a public "gnetworking.h" header that can be used to include

Really, the memory output stream API is too warped around the model
where it's a fixed size buffer that you've already allocated. Even in
C, I find myself always wanting to use it to just accumulate data into
an arbitrary-sized buffer it allocates.
Unfortunately, it's also not usable from bindings because it's not
common to bind g_free() and g_realloc(), but if you just pass NULL, you
get the default of a fixed size, which is useless as per above.
I am going to use this from a gjs test case, and the GSubprocess test
cases also will use it.

The previous fix didn't work, because every place within glib that

To avoid -Wmissing-prototype warnings, we need to prototype both the

so rather than doing them "in-place", move them all to a new header

Many (if not "almost all") programs that spawn other programs via
g_spawn_sync() or the like simply want to check whether or not the
child exited successfully, but doing so requires use of
platform-specific functionality and there's actually a fair amount of
boilerplate involved.
This new API will help drain a *lot* of mostly duplicated code in
GNOME, from gnome-session to gdm. And we can see that some bits even
inside GLib were doing it wrong; for example checking the exit status
on Unix, but ignoring it on Windows.

Rather than doing a two step first-check-the-GAsyncResult-subtype-then-

They make a full (deep) copy of a list.
In contrast with g_[s]list_copy(), these functions take a function as a argument

The way gtk-doc works, we need compiling.sgml in both
content_files (to make sure it ends up in the disted tarball)
and in expand_content_files (to have references expanded).
There are cases when it should be possible to define at compile time
what range of functions and types should be used, in order to get,
or restrict, the compiler warnings for deprecated or newly added
types or functions.
For instance, if GLib introduces a deprecation warning on a type in
version 2.32, application code can decide to specify the minimum and
maximum boundary of the used API to be 2.30; when compiling against
a new version of GLib, this would produce the following results:
- all deprecations introduced prior to 2.32 would emit compiler
warnings when used by the application code;
- all deprecations introduced in 2.32 would not emit compiler
warnings when used by the application code;
- all new symbols introduced in 2.32 would emit a compiler warning.
Using this scheme it should be possible to have fairly complex
situations, like the following one:
assuming that an application is compiled with:
GLIB_VERSION_MIN_REQUIRED = GLIB_VERSION_2_30
GLIB_VERSION_MAX_ALLOWED = GLIB_VERSION_2_32
and a GLib header containing:
void function_A (void) GLIB_DEPRECATED_IN_2_26;
void function_B (void) GLIB_DEPRECATED_IN_2_28;
void function_C (void) GLIB_DEPRECATED_IN_2_30;
void function_D (void) GLIB_AVAILABLE_IN_2_32;
void function_E (void) GLIB_AVAILABLE_IN_2_34;
any application code using the above functions will get the following
compiler warnings:
function_A: deprecated symbol warning
function_B: deprecated symbol warning
function_C: no warning
function_D: no warning
function_E: undefined symbol warning
This means that it should be possible to gradually port code towards
non-deprecated API gradually, on a per-release basis.

Problem caught by Shaun McCance.
We clean up the detection of if we should do 'real' atomic operations or
mutex-emulated ones with the introduction of a new (public) macro:
G_ATOMIC_LOCK_FREE. If defined, our atomic operations are guaranteed to
be done in hardware.
We need to use __GCC_HAVE_SYNC_COMPARE_AND_SWAP_4 to determine if our
compiler supports GCC-style atomic operations from the gatomic.h header
because we might be building a program against GLib using a different
set of compiler options (or a different compiler) than was used to build
GLib itself.
Unfortunately, this macro is not available on clang, so it has currently
regressed to using the mutex emulation. A bug about that has been

Add functions for manipulating the environment under which a

bugs with using setenv() directly.
FIXME: win32 side isn't implemented yet
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=659326
When spawning a child process, it is not safe to call setenv() before
the fork() (because setenv() isn't thread-safe), but it's also not
safe to call it after the fork() (because it's not async-signal-safe).
So the only safe way to alter the environment for a child process from
a threaded program is to pass a fully-formed envp array to
exec*/g_spawn*/etc.
So, add g_environ_getenv(), g_environ_setenv(), and
g_environ_unsetenv(), which act like their namesakes, but work on
arbitrary arrays rather than working directly on the environment.

Some code using GLib (gnome-keyring-daemon, for example) assumes that
they can catch signals by masking them out in the main thread and

resulting in program termination).
If we mask all the signals in our worker, then this can't happen.

deciding which headers get scanned for the docs.
Unfortunately, the gtk-doc Makefile doesn't use HFILE_GLOB for actually
generating the docs -- only for knowing when it needs to redo the
generation. Because of this, we need to use IGNORE_HFILES or otherwise
we get hundreds of symbols in the *-unused.txt files.
Revert the changes that that commit made to the docs Makefiles (but
leave the generation of the *-public-headers.txt files in place).
Change the unix signal watch API to match other sources in both
available functions, names of those functions and order of the
parameters to the _full function.

Several different codebases in GNOME want to implement wall clocks.
While we could pretty easily share a private library, it's not a
substantial amount of code, and GLib already has a lot of the
necessary system-specific detection and handling infrastructure.
Note this initial implementation just wakes up once a second in the
cancel_on_set case; we'll add the Linux-specific handling in a
subsequent commit.

Rework property getters to use a vfunc so we can take the fast path
and avoid allocating memory for both the skeleton and the proxy
cases. This requires some special case because of how GVariant expects
you to free memory in some cases, see #657100. Add test cases for
this.
Document the _get_ functions as not being thread-safe and also
generate _dup_ C getters (which are thread-safe).
Mark all the generated _get_, _dup_ and _set_ as (skip) as non-C
languages should just use GObject properties and not the (socalled)
"C binding".

The main rationale for adding it was to avoid having gnome-shell
mmap'ing /etc/localtime once a second. However, we can just as easily
run inotify there, and given no one else was clamoring for a way to
detect when the time zone changes, I don't see a need for public API
here - at least not yet.
In the bigger picture, I just don't believe that the vast majority of
applications are going to go out of their way to instantiate and keep
around a random GTimeZoneMonitor class. And if they do, it's has the
side effect that for other bits of code in the process, local GDateTime
instances may start varying again!
So, if code can't rely on local GDateTime instances being in a
consistent state anyways, let's just do that always. The
documentation now says that this is the case. Applications have
always been able to work in a consistent local time zone by
instantiating a zone and then using it for GDateTime constructors.
We fix the "gnome-shell stats /etc/localtime once a second" issue by
using timerfd (in glib) and inotify (in gnome-shell).

The implementation of GValue is not public or documented. When

There is lot code around (including WebKit) that added all the missing

GValue value = { 0, { { 0 } } };
However, this doesn't play nice with -Wmissing-field-initializers for

This commit changes GLib size units policy. We now prefer SI units and
allow for use of proper IEC units where desired.
g_format_size_for_display() which incorrectly mixed IEC units with SI
suffixes is left unmodified, but has been deprecated.
g_format_size() has been introduced which uses SI units and suffixes.
g_format_size_full() has also been added which takes a flags argument to
allow for use of IEC units (with correct suffixes). It also allows for
a "long format" output which includes the total number of bytes. For
example: "238.5 MB (238,472,938 bytes)".

This commit represents an API break to GAction in the following ways:
- the 'set_state' entry in the GActionInterface vtable has been
renamed to 'change_state'. The number and order of vtable items has
not otherwise changed.
- g_action_set_state() has been renamed to g_action_change_state() to
match the updated vtable entry.
- the "state" property of the GAction interface has been changed to
read-only to reflect the fact that g_action_set_state() no longer
exists.
- GSimpleActionClass has been hidden. GSimpleAction can no longer be
subclassed.
>> Rationale
g_action_set_state() has never been a true setter in the sense that
calling it will update the value of the "state" property. It has always
been closer to "request 'state' to be changed to this value" with
semantics defined by the implementor of the interface. This is why the
equivalent method in GActionGroup had its name changed from 'set' to
'change'. This change makes the two interfaces more consistent and
removes any implication about the effect that calling set_state() should
have on the 'state' property.
>> Impact
This incompatible API break was undertaken only because I strongly
suspect that it will go entirely unnoticed. If the break actually
affects anybody, then we will accommodate them (possibly going as far as
to revert this commit entirely).
The virtual table change only impacts implementors of GAction. I
strongly suspect that this is nobody (except for GSimpleAction).
The hiding of GSimpleActionClass only impacts impacts subclasses of
GSimpleAction. I strongly suspect that none of these exist.
The changing of the property to be read-only only affects people who
were trying to change the state by using GObject properties. I strongly
suspect that this is nobody at all.
The removal of the g_action_set_state() call is the most dangerous, but
I still suspect that it will impact nobody outside of GLib. If anybody
is impacted by this change then, at their request, I will reintroduce
the API as a deprecated alias for g_action_change_state().
Rather than having the gtk-doc build machinery have a list of header
files to exclude, change the GLib build to dump a list of public
header files generated from the maintained Makefile.am files for
each of glib/, gobject/, gio/.
Also, for glib, always install glib-unix.h, even on non-Unix
platforms, for the same reason we install gwin32.h even on Unix.

For example, if setting a property on a skeleton from another thread
than where it was constructed, the idle handler responsible for
emitting the PropertiesChanged() signal could run immediately and
clear skeleton->priv->changed_properties_idle_source causing
g_source_unref() to be called with a NULL pointer. This race was
easily be fixed by adding a lock to the skeleton object.
In addition to fixing this race, also move the code for setting up the
idle handler to a class handler for the GObject::notify signal. This

to perform atomic property changes from another thread than the one
that the skeleton was created in.

This new API allows watching a few select Unix signals;
looking through the list on my system, I didn't see anything
else that I think it'd reasonable to watch.

In the non-threaded case, they're just global variables.

GLib historically has been designed to be "mostly" portable; there
are some functions only available on Unix like g_io_channel_unix_new(),
but these are typically paired with obvious counterparts for Win32.
However, as GLib is used not only by portable software, but components
targeting Unix (or even just Linux), there are a few cases where it
would be very convenient if GLib shipped built-in functionality.
This initial patch is a basic wrapper around pipe2(), including
fallbacks for older kernels. This pairs well with the
existing g_spawn_*() API and its child_setup functionality.
However, in the future, I want to add a signal() wrapper here,
complete with proxying the signal to a mainloop. I have initial code
for this, but doing it sanely (including factoring out gmain.c's
private worker thread), is a complex task, and I don't want to block
on that.
See also gwin32.h for Win32 specific functionality.

GTlsCertificateDB (in which case looking up a certificate in the db is

instead.

GProxyConnection is a class that was added for proxy support;
g_socket_client_connect() returns a GSocketConnection, but in some
cases (eg, encrypted SOCKS), GProxy might return a GIOStream that is
not a GSocketConnection. In that case, GSocketClient would wrap the
stream up in a GProxyConnection, which is a subclass of
GSocketConnection but uses the input/output streams of the wrapped
connection.
GTlsConnection is not a GSocketConnection, so it has the same problem,
so it will need the same treatment. Rename the class to
GTcpWrapperStream, and make it public, so people can extract the base
stream from it when necessary.

This adds "child source" support to GSource. A child source behaves
basically like a GPollFD; when you add a source to a context, all of
its child sources are added with the same priority; when you destroy a
source, all of its child sources are destroyed; and when a child
source triggers, its parent source's dispatch function is run.
Use cases include:
- adding a GTimeoutSource to another source to cause the source to
automatically trigger after a certain timeout.
- wrapping an existing source type with a new type that has
a different callback signature
- creating a source that triggers based on different conditions
at different times.

Timezone handling is complicated. Really complicated.
In order to simplify it a little bit, we need to expose the GTimeZone
structure.
First of all, we allow creating time zone information directly from the
offset and the DST state, and then pass it to the g_date_time_new_full()
constructor. We also need to clean up the mess that is UTC-vs.-localtime
for the other constructors.
We also allow creating a GTimeZone from the Olson zoneinfo database
names; a time zone created like this will be "floating": it will just
reference the zoneinfo file - which are mmap()'ed, kept in a cache and
refcounted. Once the GTimeZone has been associated with a GDateTime, it
will be "anchored" to it: the offset will be resolved, as well as the
DST state.

These functions are meant to replace the read_until() flavour, with the
following improvements:
- consistency between the synchronous and asynchronous versions as to
if the separator character is read (it never is).
- support for using a nul byte as a separator character by way of
addition of a length parameter which allows stop_chars to be treated
as a byte array rather than a nul-terminated string.
The read_until() functions are not yet formally deprecated, but a note
has been added to the documentation warning not to use them as they will
be in the future.
This is bug #584284.
Since we added g_object_notify_by_pspec(), an efficient way to install

a static arrays, like we do for signal identifiers.
Instead of multiple calls to g_object_class_install_property(), we
should have a single function to take the static array of GParamSpecs
and iterate it.

Bug #617691.
If sending a lot of data and/or the other peer is not reading it, then
socket buffers can overflow. This is communicated from the kernel by
returning EAGAIN. In GIO, it is modelled by g_output_stream_write()
and g_socket_send_message() returning G_IO_ERROR_WOULD_BLOCK.
It is also problematic that that we're using synchronous IO in the
shared GDBus IO thread. It means that one GDBusConnection can lock up
others.
It turns out that by porting from g_output_stream_write() to
g_output_stream_write_async() we fix the EAGAIN issue. For GSocket, we
still need to handle things manually (by creating a GSource) as
g_socket_send_message() is used.
We check the new behavior in Michael's producer/consumer test case (at
/gdbus/overflow in gdbus-peer.c) added in the last commit.

Since using the function pointer version muddles the memory management
requirements of language bindings, we should implement a GClosure-based
variant on top of g_object_bind_property_full().
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=622278
Otherwise e.g. setuid root processes can't connect to the system
bus. This was discovered when porting PolicyKit's pkexec(1) command to
a PolicyKit library using GDBus.

- Make GCredentials instance and class structures private so it can't
be subclassed and we don't have to worry about ABI compat
issues. This also allows us to get rid of the GCredentialsPrivate
struct.
- Add a GCredentialsType enumeration that is used whenever exchanging
pointers with the user. This allows us to support OSes with
multiple native credential types. In particular, it allows
supporting OSes where the native credential evolves or even changes
over time.
- Add g_socket_get_credentials() method.
- Add tests for g_socket_get_credentials(). Right now this is in the
GDBus peer-to-peer test case but we can change that later.
- Move GTcpConnection into a separate gtk-doc page as was already
half-done with GUnixConnection. Also finish the GUnixConnection
move and ensure send_credentials() and receive_credentials()
methods are in the docs. Also nuke comment about GTcpConnection
being empty compared to its superclass.

This is currently unused but might be useful in the future. For
example, it might be nice with a way to bypass the current queue of
outgoing messages - having a flag enumeration allows us to add a
G_DBUS_SEND_MESSAGE_FLAGS_BYPASS_QUEUE etc. etc.
This commit breaks ABI and API. Users of the (rarely used) API to send
messages will have to port to this new API.

Remove some symbols from glib-sections.txt that gtk-doc has no idea
about.
Add proper callback typedefs for GTester (gtk-doc dislikes inline
function types).
Fix some other minor issues.
- add G_VARIANT_TYPE_BYTESTRING, _BYTESTRING_ARRAY, _STRING_ARRAY
- remove g_variant_{new,get}_byte_array functions
- add g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring{,_array} functions
- remove undocumented support for deserialising arrays of objectpaths
or signature strngs using g_variant_get_strv()
- add and document new format strings '^ay', '^&ay', '^aay' and '^a&ay'
- update GApplication to use the new API
- update GSettings binding code to use the new API
- add tests
E.g. move these C structures out of public header files and into their
respective C files. Also nuke padding since this is no longer needed.
This leaves only GDBusProxy as an extendable type.

Note that things work exactly like libdbus, e.g. from the
dbus-launch(1) man page:
Whenever an autolaunch occurs, the application that had to start a
new bus will be in its own little world; it can effectively end up
starting a whole new session if it tries to use a lot of bus
services. This can be suboptimal or even totally broken, depending
on the app and what it tries to do.
[...]
You can always avoid autolaunch by manually setting
DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS. Autolaunch happens because the default
address if none is set is "autolaunch:", so if any other address is
set there will be no autolaunch. You can however include autolaunch
in an explicit session bus address as a fallback, for example
DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS="something:,autolaunch:" - in that case if
the first address doesn't work, processes will autolaunch. (The bus
address variable contains a comma-separated list of addresses to
try.)

Without this guarantee, peer-to-peer connections are not very
useful. However, with this guarantee it's possible to export objects
in a handler for the GDBusServer::new-connection signal.
There are two caveats with this patch
- it won't work on message bus connections
- we don't queue up messages to be written
that can be addresses later if needed.

Having this tool in GLib is a bad idea for a number of reasons:
- experience has shown that the simple file format was a bad idea
- the tool is currently implemented with a hack that would require a
dependency inversion to solve (the tool needs to depend on Python
GVariant bindings)
- the tool itself is unmaintained
It will be moved to the GConf git repository so people can continue to
use it for the purpose of converting GConf schemas.
GBinding is a simple, opaque object that represents a binding between a
property on a GObject instance (source) and property on another GObject
instance (target).

g_object_notify_by_pspec() will emit the "notify" signal on the given
pspec, short-circuiting the hash table lookup needed by
g_object_notify(). The suggested and documented way of using
g_object_notify_by_pspec() is similar to the way of emitting signals
with their ID.
Emission tests (with no handler attached to the notify signal) show a
10-15% speedup over using g_object_notify().

This adds a GApplication object to GIO, which is the core of
an application support class, supporting
- uniqueness
- exporting actions (simple scripting)
- standard actions (quit, activate)
The implementation for Linux uses D-Bus, takes a name on the
session bus, and exports a org.gtk.Application interface.
Implementations for Win32 and OS X are still missing.
add GSimplePermission, a trivial const implementation of GPermission
can-request and can-release are always false for this implementation and
the value of 'allowed' is decided at construction.
This adds static markers for dtrace, which are also usable
by systemtap. Additionally it adds a tapset for systemtap
that makes it easier to use the static markers.
These are enabled by default.
This initial set of probes is rather limited:
* allocation and free using g_malloc & co
* allocation and free using g_slice
* gquark name tracking (useful for converting quarks to strings in probes)
Notes on naming:
Its traditional with dtrace to use probe names with dashes as
delimiter (slice-alloc). Since dashes are not usable in identifiers
the C code uses double underscores (slice__alloc) which is converted
to dashes in the UI. We follow this for the shared lowlevel probe
names.
Additionally dtrace supports putting a "provider" part in the probe
names which is essentially a namespacing thing. On systemtap this
field is currently ignored (but may be implemented in the future), but
this is not really a problem since in systemtap the probes are
specified by combining the solib file and the marker name, so there
can't really be name conflicts.
For the systemtap tapset highlevel probes we instead use names that
are systemtapish with single dashes as separators.
