PEP8 says that:
"Comparisons to singletons like None should always be done with is or
is not, never the equality operators."
glib uses a mix of "== None" and "is None". This patch changes all
cases to the latter.

It's been 4 years and 8 development cycles since we introduced
G_ADD_PRIVATE and offset-based private data access. It is now
time to finally deprecate the old mechanism.
Closes: #699
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.
In master, it is already possible to build GLib using Visual Studio
using Meson[1] for some time, so we should focus on maintaining only the
Meson build files for building GLib with Visual Studio.
[1]: There are caveats when building with Visual Studio 2008, namely
that one needs to use the mt command to embed the manifests that
are generated with the .exe/DLLs, for all builds, and that in the
case where the compilation hangs on Visual Studio 2008 x64, as a
workaround, should stop the build by terminating all cl.exe tasks
and change the compiler optimization flag from /O2 (full speed) to
/O1 (optimize for size), due to compiler optimization issues.
It's mostly not used anymore and doesn't do what it says it does.
The docs state that it affects GList, GSList, GNode, GMemChunks, GSignal,
GType n_preallocs and GBSearchArray while:
* GList, GSList and GNode use GSlice and are not affected
* GMemChunks is gone
* GType npreallocs is ignored
It also states that it can be used to force the usage of g_malloc/g_free,
which is handled by G_SLICE=always-malloc now.
The only places where it's used is in signal handling through GBSearchArray
and in GValueArray (deprecated). Since it's unlikely that anyone wants to
reduce allocation sizes just for those cases remove the build option.
valgrind.h is a verbatim copy taken from Valgrind project. Previously
that file had local changes that got dropped by last update. To avoid
regressing again, do not edit valgrind.h anymore and instead add a
gvalgrind.h wrapper that gets included instead.
This fix 2 errors:
- uintptr_t is not defined when including valgrind.h on mingw.
- MSVC compiler is not supported on amd64-Win64 platform.
The timer tests expect that a small value for sleep does not result in
no sleep at all. Round up to the next millisecond to bring it more in line
with other platforms.
This fixes the glib/timer tests.
This makes the 'threadtests' time out since that uses small usleeps a lot and
until now didn't wait at all, but now always waits a msec. Reduce the amount
of tests done on Windows to get the runtime down to something reasonable again.

The -fstack-protector-strong used in many distributions by default has a
rather drastic slowdown of the fast path in generated _get_type()
functions using G_DEFINE_* macros. The amount can vary by architecture,
GCC version, and compiler flags.
To work around this, and ensure a higher probability that our fast-path
will match what we had previously, we need to break out the slow-path
(registering the type) into a secondary function that is not a candidate
for inlining.
This ensures that the common case (type registered, return the GType id)
is the hot path and handled in the prologue of the generated assembly even
when -fstack-protector-strong is enabled.

The Meson build has fallen a bit behind the Autotools one, when it comes
to the internally built tools like glib-mkenums and glib-genmarshals.
We don't need to generate gmarshal.strings any more, and since the
glib-genmarshal tool is now written in Python it can also be used when
cross-compiling, and without indirection, just like we use glib-mkenums.
We can also coalesce various rules into a simple array iteration, with
minimal changes to glib-mkenums, thus making the build a bit more
resilient and without unnecessary duplication.
The old glib-mkenums was more forgiving, and simply ignored any files it
could not find.
We're going to print a warning, as in the future we may want to allow
more strictness.
This is a bit of a hack to maintain some semblance of backward
compatibility with the old, Perl-based glib-mkenums. The old tool had an
implicit ordering on the arguments and templates; each argument was
parsed in order, and all the strings appended. This allowed developers
to write:
glib-mkenums \
--fhead ... \
--template a-template-file.c.in \
--ftail ...
And have the fhead be prepended to the file-head stanza in the template,
as well as the ftail be appended to the file-tail stanza in the
template. Short of throwing away ArgumentParser and going over
sys.argv[] element by element, we can simulate that behaviour by
ensuring some ordering in how we build the template strings:
- the head stanzas are always prepended to the template
- the prod stanzas are always appended to the template
- the tail stanzas are always appended to the template
Within each instance of the command line argument, we append each value
to the array in the order in which it appears on the command line.
This change fixes the libqmi build.
Some of the arguments that affect the generated result in glib-mkenums
can be used multiple times, to avoid embedding unnecessary newlines in
their values.
This change fixes the NetworkManager build.
When using the `--header --body` compatibility mode, we need to emit
things we generally define in the header, such as the aliases for
standard marshallers, and aliases for deprecated tokens.
This fixes dbus-binding-tool, which is using `--header --body` and
deprecated tokens.

This reduces the build-time dependencies of glib to only Python 3,

which the subproject directories already exist.
The Python port was done by Jussi Pakkanen on bugzilla:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=779332
This version contains some fixes from that and also changes all
instances of `@` to `\u0040` because Meson does not yet provide a
configure_file() mode that ignores unknown @MACRO@ values.
This is a stub-only library that can be used while building against
MSVC and contains no i18n machinery at all.
The dependencies added indirectly use the libintl.h header, and when
built as a subproject, the header won't be in a path known the
pre-processor.
Don't use it project-wide for building everything. Otherwise
symbols for shared modules won't be exposed, e.g. in the
resourceplugin used by the gio resource unit test.
Disable gio tests on Windows, fix .gitignore to not ignore
config.h.meson, and add more things to it.
Rename the library file naming and versioning to match what Autotools
outputs, e.g., libglib-2.0.so.0.5000.2 on Linux, libglib-2.0-0.dll and
glib-2.0-0.dll on Windows with MSVC.
Several more tiny fixes, more executables built and installed, install
pkg-config and m4 files, fix building of gobject tests.
Changes to gdbus-codegen to support out-of-tree builds without
environment variables set (which you can't in Meson). We now add the
build directory to the Python module search path.
We're in the process or rewriting other tools in Python to reduce the
number of dependencies of GLib.
Additionally, making glib-genmarshal a Python script reduces the
complexity when cross-compiling, as we don't need a native build to
generate the marshallers.

It is possible, when using GTK-Doc, to mark sections of an enumeration
type as "private": the values are there, but they are not documented,
and GTK-Doc won't complain about missing symbols:
typedef enum {
/*< private >*/
MY_FOO_PRIVATE,
/*< public >*/
MY_FOO_VALUE_A,
MY_FOO_VALUE_B,
/*< private >*/
MY_FOO_VALUE_C,
MY_FOO_VALUE_D
} MyFooValue;
The glib-mkenums parser also allows skipping enumeration values, using a
slightly different syntax:
typedef enum P
MY_BAR_PRIVATE, /*< skip >*/
MY_BAR_VALUE_A,
MY_BAR_VALUE_B
} MyBarValue;
The annotation must sit on the same line as the enumeration value.
Both GTK-Doc and glib-mkenum use the same trigraph syntax, but slightly
different keys. This makes combining them slightly redundant, but
feasible.
All would be well and good, except that glib-mkenum will generate a
warning for lines it does not understand — and that includes the GTK-Doc
annotation trigraph, which, when confronted with the MyFooValue
enumeration above, will result in a warning like:
glib-mkenums: myfoo.h:2: Failed to parse ` /*< private >*/ '
glib-mkenums: myfoo.h:5: Failed to parse ` /*< public >*/ '
glib-mkenums: myfoo.h:9: Failed to parse ` /*< private >*/ '
Of course, we could make glib-mkenum ignore any trigraph comment on a
stand alone line, but it would probably be better to ensure that both
glib-mkenums and gtk-doc behave consistently with each other, and
especially with the maintainer's intent of hiding some values from the
user, and reserving them for internal use.
So we should ensure that glib-mkenums automatically skips all the
enumeration values after a "private" flag has been set, until it reaches
a "public" stanza.

glibc string.h declares memcpy() with attribute(nonnull(1,2)), causing
calls with NULL arguments to be treated as undefined behaviour.
This is consistent with ISO C99 and C11, which state that passing 0
to string functions as an array length does not remove the requirement
that the pointer to the array is a valid pointer.
gcc -fsanitize=undefined catches this while running OSTree's test suite.
Similarly, running the GLib test suite reports similar issues for
qsort(), memmove(), memcmp().

global variables in SystemTap are shared between all SystemTap scripts;
so if scripts are loaded for two versions of GLib (for example, a stable

Avoid that by including the soname’s version in the global variable

If we have an input parameter (or return value) we need to use (nullable).
However, if it is an (inout) or (out) parameter, (optional) is sufficient.
It looks like (nullable) could be used for everything according to the
Annotation documentation, but (optional) is more specific.
gtk-doc doesn’t make the return type clear, because these are macros
rather than inline functions, so people often have to guess at the
return type (or look it up from g_signal_connect_closure(), but that’s
hard work).
Make it clear that the return type for handler IDs is gulong. While
there, fix the capitalisation of ‘id’ to ‘ID’ in a few places.
At some point, upstream SystemTap changed from using a
STAP_HAS_SEMAPHORES preprocessor variable for this, to using
_SDT_HAS_SEMAPHORES instead. We need to update our build system to
disable that as well.
The original discussion about use of semaphores is here:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=606044
This was breaking the build with -flto enabled, either because -flto
doesn’t work with semaphores.

The C spec leaves conditional evaluation inside a macro expansion as

like in the case of MSVC, error out.

accompanied by an extra #ifdef G_ENABLE_DEBUG. this is cumbersome.

In a vague attempt at ensuring the .stp scripts can be closely
associated with the .so files which they hard-code references to, rename
the scripts so they include the LT version — so that they are the .so
file name plus .stp.
This does not fix the fact that our .stp scripts will not work on
multiarch systems, as they are installed in an architecture-independent
directory (/usr/share/systemtap/tapset). At the moment, it is
recommended that any distribution who package the .stp files should
install them in the architecture-specific subdirectories of this (for
example, /usr/share/systemtap/tapset/x86-64).
A better long-term solution for this is under discussion upstream:

The ability to pass libtool via $(CC) to dtrace and have it respect this
appears to be a feature that is only present in the systemtap version of
the tool. In particular, FreeBSD (which seems to be using a copy of the
tool from Solaris) doesn't support this.
The result is that, with $(CC) ignored, and a .lo file specified in -o,
we get an ELF written to the .lo.
Instead of trying to have dtrace run libtool we can have libtool run
dtrace. dtrace is really just a compiler that produces an object file
here, and it even understands -o, so libtool can make the appropriate
adjustments.
There appears to be some prior art for this approach. A quick search
shows that at least QEMU is using this approach. It also appears to
work on Linux with systemtap's dtrace and on FreeBSD.
This may regress cross-compilation because the dtrace command will have
no way of knowing which compiler we intend for it to use to produce the
object file. I say "may" because I don't know if dtrace ever worked in
the first place under cross-compilation.

glib installs a gdb helper file named `glib.py`.
Then the "hook" file updates `sys.path` and does `import glib`.
This will fail if glib has already been imported into gdb, say

One fix would be to rename the gdb helper files to not clash with
other Python modules. This should be done for all such helper files.

We don't need to run binaries we just built in order to successfully

Since commit b74e2a7, we don't need to run glib-genmarshal when building
GIO; since commit f9eb9eed, all our tests (including the ones that do

check", instead of unconditionally at every build.
This means that we don't need to check for existing, native binaries
when cross-compiling, and fail the configuration step if they are not
found — which also means that you don't need to natively build GLib for
your toolchain, in order to cross-compile GLib.
We can also use the cross-compilation conditional, and skip those tests
that require a binary we just built in order to build.

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

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);

implementations, which are otherwise long and boring.

Practically no caller of these functions require atomic behaviour,
but the atomics are much slower than normal operations, which makes
it desirable to get rid of them. We have not done this before because
that would be a break of the ABI.
However, I recently looked into this and it seems that even if the
atomics *are* used for g_clear_* it is not ever safe to use this. The
atomics protects two threads that are racing to free a global/shared
object from freeing the object twice. However, any *user* of the global
object have no protection from the object being freed while in use,
because there is no paired operation the reads and refs the object
as an atomic unit (nor can such an operation be implemented using
purely atomic ops).
So, since nothing could safely have used the atomic aspects of these
functions I consider it acceptable to just remove it.

due to fact that it's essentially a forkbomb. It's causing failures for Debian
on ARM and it's DoSing coredumps to system crash collectors.
The conditional only covers registration of the master, not the
subprocess parts. This is because g_test_slow() always return FALSE in
the subprocesses, so they would fail to run if we didn't register them
unconditionally.
This is the sole piece of code in GLib where we make use of the
stack growing direction. And this test proves that we have been
getting the direction wrong all these years...
The signals queued while notify is frozen are emitted in
reverse order, while omitting duplicates. The lack of documentation
for this was pointed out in

In Windows development environments that have it, <unistd.h> is mostly
just a wrapper around several other native headers (in particular,
<io.h>, which contains read(), close(), etc, and <process.h>, which
contains getpid()). But given that some Windows dev environments don't
have <unistd.h>, everything that uses those functions on Windows
already needed to include the correct Windows header as well, and so
there is never any point to including <unistd.h> on Windows.
Also, remove some <unistd.h> includes (and a few others) that were
unnecessary even on unix.

Assume all supported platforms implement C90, and therefore they
(correctly) implement atexit(), memmove(), setlocale(), strerror(),
and vprintf(), and have <float.h> and <limits.h>.
(Also remove the configure check testing that "do ... while (0)" works
correctly; the non-do/while-based version of G_STMT_START and
G_STMT_END was removed years ago, but the check remained. Also, remove
some checks that configure.ac claimed were needed for libcharset, but
aren't actually used.)
Note that removing the g_memmove() function is not an ABI break even
on systems where g_memmove() was previously not a macro, because it
was never marked GLIB_AVAILABLE_IN_ALL or listed in glib.symbols, so
it would have been glib-internal since 2004.

GMappedFile is current unintrospectable, because it's not a registered
box type. It already has reference counting functions, so there's
little reason not to box it.
This commit adds GMappedFile to the hoard of other boxes types handled
by gboxed.c

Rather than keeping a global list of objects that are being
constructed, use qdata on the object itself like we do with several
other properties now.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=661576
If a constructor() implementation created an object but then unreffed
it rather than returning it, that object would get left on the
construction_objects list, which would cause problems later when that
memory location got reused by another object.
"Fix" this by making it fail intentionally, and add a test for it (and
for the normal, working singleton case).

GBindingTransformFunc called its arguments "source_value" and
"target_value", but in the transform_from function of a bidirectional
binding, "source_value" comes from the target object, and
"target_value" comes from the source object, which quickly gets
confusing if you need to use g_binding_get_source(), etc, in the
function.
Of course developers can call their transform function arguments
whatever they want, but many will copy from the headers/docs to start
out, so use less confusing names here ("from_value" and "to_value").
Also, fix the documentation to describe the bidirectional case
correctly.

Add NULL check and return after calls to g_param_spec_internal in GParamSpec
creation functions. This avoids glib crashing due to things like badly named
properties.

Apple's GCC compilers cannot deal well with 64-bit pointers in
transparent unions on ppc64, so compilation of
_G_DEFINE_BOXED_TYPE_BEGIN was failing. Fortunately glib already
provides a fallback for compilers that can't deal with it; this adds
this specific case to the check.

g_type_class_add_private() was doing
g_assert (node->data->instance.private_size <= 0xffff);
but that field is a guint16, so the check was a no-op. (Noticed by
clang, but not gcc for some reason.) Fix it to do the math in a gssize
variable and do the bounds checking there before updating the struct
field.
