This skips the test on those systems, like Darwin, which provide the
ja_JP.eucjp locale but which glib doesn't know how to transcode and
aliases JIS to UTF-8.
Because it now handles EINTR. And we should do so. While most people
use Linux, which tries very hard to avoid propagating EINTR back up
into userspace, it can still happen.

I'd like to use GVariant as a data format in my userspace filesystem,
and having the actual bits be stable means I can reliably compute
cryptographic checksums.
This updated patch removes vardict checks, because Ryan wants the
flexibility to change them in the future.

For some time now people have been asking for a way to check for type
compatibility between GVariant instances and format strings. There are
several APIs inside of GLib itself that would benefit from this.
This patch introduces a way to do that.
Add a variant of g_markup_collect_attributes() which will
ignore unknown attributes (such as those from different XML
namespaces) when parsing markup, rather than returning
G_MARKUP_ERROR_UNKNOWN_ATTRIBUTE as g_markup_collect_attributes()
does.

g_source_get_context() was checking that the source wasn't destroyed
(since a source doesn't hold a ref on its context, and so
source->context might point to garbage in that case). However, it's
useful to be allowed to call g_source_get_context() on a source that
is destroyed-but-currently-running.
So instead, let g_source_get_context() return the context whenever
it's non-NULL, and clear the source->context of any sources that are
still in a context's sources list when the context is freed. Since
sources are only removed from the list when the source is freed (not
when it is destroyed), this means that now whenever a source has a
non-NULL context pointer, then that pointer is valid.
This also means that g_source_get_time() will now return-if-fail
rather than crashing if it is called on a source whose context has
been destroyed.
Add tests to glib/tests/mainloop to verify that g_source_get_context()
and g_source_get_time() work on destroyed sources.

Verify that
- g_source_get_time() does not change within a single callback
(even if the real time does)
- g_source_get_time() does not change between different callbacks in
the same mainloop iteration
- g_source_get_time() does change between iterations if the real
time did.

String validation was done by checking if the string was valid utf8 and
ensuring that the first non-utf8 character was the last character (ie:
the nul terminator).
No check was actually done to make sure that this byte actually
contained a nul, however, so it was possible that you could have a
string like "hello\xff" with length 6 that would correctly validate.
Fix that, and test it.
The docs for GString should really mention GByteArray, and what makes
it different. Drop the comparison to Java which is dated and actually
inaccurate (because StringBuffer operates on Unicode).
While we're here, add g_string_free_to_bytes(), which further
complements the spread of GBytes-based API. For example, one can
create a buffer using GString, then send it off via
g_output_stream_write_bytes().

Since PCRE 8.00 it supports a variant of PCRE_NOTEMPTY that works
similarly except that it only applies to the start of the matched string
but permits empty matches further in.
