This is a convenience wrapper around getpwnam_r() which handles all the
memory allocation faff.

Although not quite as often-occurring, this should help with constructs
like this:
if (list)
{
g_list_free_full (list, foo);
list = NULL;
}
Closes https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/glib/issues/1943
Tools like this should be configurable in a cross or native file. In
particular, if we are cross-compiling (with an executable wrapper like
qemu-arm), the build system ld is not necessarily able to manipulate
host system objects.

This is like `GMutexLocker`, in that if you are able to use
`g_autoptr()`, it makes popping a `GMainContext` off the thread-default
main context stack easier when exiting a function.
A few uses of `G_GNUC_{BEGIN,END}_IGNORE_DEPRECATIONS` are needed to
avoid warnings when building apps against GLib with
`GLIB_VERSION_MAX_ALLOWED < GLIB_VERSION_2_64`.

In many places the pattern
static gboolean warned_once = FALSE;
if (!warned_once)
{
g_warning ("This and that");
warned_once = TRUE;
}
is used to not spam the same warning message over and over again. Add a
helper in glib for this, allowing the above statement to be changed to
g_warning_once ("This and that");
This is a simple wrapper around g_date_time_format_iso8601() which
always produces ISO 8601 dates, without people having to remember the
format string for them (and with the convenience of terminating UTC
dates with ‘Z’ rather than ‘+00’).

Commit 8cc92bcca ("meson: Turn selinux into a meson feature and make it

example lists [(1, 2), (3, 4.0)], but mentions numbers
1 and 4 being parsed as integrers, this seems wrong as
4.0 its explicitly parsed as double.

Queries the charset used by the associated console, which does not
necessarily match the charset of the current locale as returned by
g_get_charset.

This is a new function along the same lines as g_test_bug(): to allow
developers to annotate unit tests with information about the test (what
it tests, how it tests it) for future developers to read and learn from.
It will also output this summary as a comment in the test’s TAP output,
which might clarify test results.
Includes a unit test.

Add warnings about their deprecation everywhere. The tools will continue
to work until we break API, but will be less well maintained. You should
use TAP for communicating test results to the test harness provided by
your build system or CI system instead.

This adds two new helpers that allow for inserting pre-allocated GList
elements to the queue similar to existing helpers. This may be advantagous
in some situations such as statically allocated GList elements.
Those lists were getting very long. We can’t quite entirely automate the
list generation since Meson doesn’t have a range() function, but we can
at least combine three of them into one.

Install a Vectored Exception Handler[0]. Its sole purpose is to catch
some exceptions (access violations, stack overflows, illegal
instructions and debug breaks - by default, but it can be made to catch
any exception for which a code is known) and run a debugger in response.
This allows W32 glib applications to be run without a debugger,
but at the same time allows a debugger to be attached in case
something happens.
The debugger is run with a new console, unless an environment variable
is set to allow it to inherit the console of the crashing process.
The short list of handleable exceptions is there to ensure that
this handler won't run a debugger to "handle" utility exceptions,
such as the one that is used to communicate thread names to a debugger.
The handler is installed to be called last, and shouldn't interfere
with any user-installed handlers.
There's nothing fancy about the way it runs a debugger (it doesn't even
support unicode in paths), and it deliberately avoids using glib code.
The handler will also print a bit of information about the exception
that it caught, and even more information for well-known exceptions,
such as access violation.
The whole scheme is similar to AeDebug[1] and, in fact, the signal-event
gdb command was originally implemented for this very purpose.

So long, and thanks for everything. We’re a Meson-only shop now.
glib-2-58 will remain the last stable GLib release series which is
buildable using autotools.
We continue to install autoconf macros for autotools-using projects
which depend on GLib; they are stable API.

Drop mentions of autotools. In particular, update the list of configure
options to reflect what’s available in the Meson build.
Further work is needed as a follow-up to improve our handling of (what
was formerly) the --enable-debug option.
