This function returns the most specific instantiatable type
that is a prerequisite for a given interface.
This type is necessary in particular when dealing with GValues
because a GValue contains an instance of a type.

For legacy reasons, Meson's gtk-doc helper script launches the
gtkdoc-mkhtml tool in the `html` directory under the build root. This
means that all paths must be relative to that location.
g_has_typeof macro is wrongly in the public g_ namespace, internaly
symbols are usually in the glib_ namespace. This will also allow to
define glib_typeof differently on non-GNUC compilers (e.g. c++11
decltype).
GLib uses NULL-terminated string arrays (GStrv) in a number of places, however
these are quite hard to construct in C when the number of elements is not known
in advance. GStrvBuilder wraps GPtrArray to make these easy to create with
type safety and does the memory management for you.
By default, when using g_subprocess_launcher_take_fd() to pass an
FD to a child, the GSubprocessLauncher object also takes ownership
of the FD in the parent, and closes it during finalize(). This is
a reasonable assumption in the majority of the cases, but sometimes
it isn't a good idea.
An example is when creating a GSubprocessLauncher in JavaScript:
here, the destruction process is managed by the Garbage Collector,
which means that those sockets will remain opened for some time
after all the references to the object has been droped. This means
that it could be not possible to detect when the child has closed
that same FD, because in order to make that work, both FDs
instances (the one in the parent and the one in the children) must
be closed. This can be a problem in, as an example, a process that
launches a child that communicates with Wayland using an specific
socket (like when using the new API MetaWaylandClient).
Of course, it isn't a valid solution to manually call close() in
the parent process just after the call to spawn(), because the FD
number could be reused in the time between it is manually closed,
and when the object is destroyed and closes again that FD. If that
happens, it will close an incorrect FD.
One solution could be to call run_dispose() from Javascript on the
GSubprocessLauncher object, to force freeing the resources.
Unfortunately, the current code frees them in the finalize()
method, not in dispose() (this is fixed in !1670 (merged) ) but it
isn't a very elegant solution.
This proposal adds a new method, g_subprocess_launcher_close(),
that allows to close the FDs passed to the child. To avoid problems,
after closing an FD with this method, no more spawns are allowed.

This allows programs that want to change how log messages are printed,

GLib code normally prints info and debug messages to stdout,
but that interferes with programs that are documented to produce
machine-readable output such as JSON or XML on stdout. In particular,
if such a program uses a GLib-based library, setting G_MESSAGES_DEBUG
will typically result in that library's debug messages going to the
program's stdout and corrupting the machine-readable output.
Unix programs can avoid this by using dup2() to move the original stdout
to another fd, then dup2() again to make the new stdout a copy of stderr,
but it's easier if we provide a way to not write debug messages to
stdout in the first place. Calling
g_log_writer_default_set_use_stderr (TRUE) results in behaviour
resembling Python's logging.basicConfig(), with all diagnostics going
to stderr.

The basic API that this commit adds allows in-order iterating over a GTree.
For this the following API were implemented or exported:
1) Returning the first or the last node in the tree,
2) Taking a pointer to a node in the tree and returning the previous or the
next in-order node,
3) Allowing to do a binary search for a particular key value and returning
the pointer to its node,
4) Returning the newly inserted or set node from both insert and replace
functions, so this node is immediately available and does not have to be
looked up,
5) Traversing the tree in-order providing a node pointer to the
caller-provided traversal function.
Most of the above functions were already present in the code, but they
returned the value that is stored at a particular node instead of the
pointer to the node itself.
So most of the code for these new API calls is shared with these existing
ones, just adapted to return the pointer to the node.
Additionally, the so called "lower bound" and "upper bound" operations
were implemented.
The first one returns the first element that is greater than or equal to
the searched key, while the second returns the first element that is
strictly greater than the searched key.

Expose a function that prepares an attribute query string to be passed
to g_file_query_info() to get a list of attributes normally copied with
the file. This function is used by the implementation of
g_file_copy_attributes, and it's useful if one needs to split
g_file_copy_attributes into two stages, for example, when nautilus does
a recursive move of a directory. When files are moved from the source
directory, its modification time changes. To preserve the mtime on the
destination directory, it has to be queried before moving files and set
after doing it, hence these two stages.

Like G_SOURCE_REMOVE and G_SOURCE_CONTINUE, these make it clearer what
it means to return TRUE or FALSE.
In particular, in GDBus methods that fail, the failure case still needs
to return TRUE (unlike the typical GError pattern), leading to comments
like this:
g_dbus_method_invocation_return_error (invocation, ...);
return TRUE; /* handled */
which can now be replaced by:
g_dbus_method_invocation_return_error (invocation, ...);
return G_DUS_METHOD_INVOCATION_HANDLED;
G_DBUS_METHOD_INVOCATION_UNHANDLED is added for symmetry, but is very

* Wants to know whther the string stored is canonical
This allows:
* zero-cost GValue copy (the content is guaranteed to be unique and exist
throughout the process life)
* zero-cost string equality checks (if both string GValue are interned, you just
need to check the pointers for equality or not, instead of doing a strcmp).

The glib-mkenums program allows generating code to handle enums/flags
with very different purposes. One of its purposes could be generating
per-enum/flag methods to be exposed in a library API, and while doing
that, it would be nice to have a way to specify in which API version
the enum/flag was introduced, so that the same version could be shown
in the generated API methods.
E.g. From the following code:
/**
* QmiWmsMessageProtocol:
* @QMI_WMS_MESSAGE_PROTOCOL_CDMA: CDMA.
* @QMI_WMS_MESSAGE_PROTOCOL_WCDMA: WCDMA.
*
* Type of message protocol.
*
* Since: 1.0
*/
typedef enum { /*< since=1.0 >*/
QMI_WMS_MESSAGE_PROTOCOL_CDMA = 0x00,
QMI_WMS_MESSAGE_PROTOCOL_WCDMA = 0x01
} QmiWmsMessageProtocol;
The template would allow us to generate a method documented like this,
including the Since tag with the value given in the mkenums 'since' tag.
/**
* qmi_wms_message_protocol_get_string:
* @val: a QmiWmsMessageProtocol.
*
* Gets the nickname string for the #QmiWmsMessageProtocol specified at @val.
*
* Returns: (transfer none): a string with the nickname, or %NULL if not found. Do not free the returned value.

The public functions exposed as static inlines currently don't have

compiling this file:
#include <glib.h>

}
with:

-DGLIB_VERSION_MIN_REQUIRED=GLIB_VERSION_2_28
will not produce any error message, despite using
`g_rec_mutex_locker_new`, a function that was introduced after 2.28.
This patch adds some annotations to all the publicly exposed static
inline functions I could find.
I could not use the existing G_AVAILABLE* macros, because they may
expand to `extern`. This would then clash with the `static` keyword and
produce:

This reverts commit b6d8efbebc.
This GLib API is good, but the implentation is not ready, so there's no
reason to commit to the API in GLib 2.64. We can reland again when the
implementation is ready.
There are three problems: (a) The glib-networking implementation normally
works, but the test has been broken for a long time. I'm not comfortable
with adding a major new feature without a working test. This is
glib-networking#104. (b) The WebKit implementation never landed. There
is a working patch, but it hasn't been accepted upstream yet. This API
isn't needed in GLib until WebKit is ready to start using it.
https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=200805. (c) Similarly, even if
the WebKit API was ready, that itself isn't useful until an application
is ready to start using it, and the Epiphany level work never happened.
Let's try again for GLib 2.66. Reverting this commit now just means we
gain another six months before committing to the API forever. No reason
to keep this in GLib 2.64 when nothing is using it yet.
Now that we require Meson 0.52 to build the doc, we can also pull
gtk-doc as subproject when missing from the system. This requires
to pull gtk-doc master because needed changes there haven't been release
yet.
This has the side effect of always rebuilding the doc at each build when
gtk_doc option is enabled (not by default). Most importantly, this will
enable doc check on our CI.
This reverts commit 398c048c66.
It got removed because it used to cause build issues, but now that we
have a CI let's hope it won't be a problem any more.

Currently the code generated by gdbus-codegen uses
G_DBUS_CALL_FLAGS_NONE in its D-Bus calls, which occur for each method
defined by the input XML, and for proxy_set_property functions. This
means that if the daemon which implements the methods checks for
G_DBUS_FLAGS_ALLOW_INTERACTIVE_AUTHORIZATION and only does interactive
authorization if that flag is present, users of the generated code have
no way to cause the daemon to use interactive authorization (e.g. polkit
dialogs).
If we simply changed the generated code to always use
G_DBUS_FLAGS_ALLOW_INTERACTIVE_AUTHORIZATION, its users would have no
way to disallow interactive authorization (except for manually calling
the D-Bus method themselves).
So instead, this commit adds a GDBusCallFlags argument to method call
functions. Since this is an API break which will require changes in
projects using gdbus-codegen code, the change is conditional on the
command line argument --glib-min-version having the value 2.64 or
higher.
The impetus for this change is that I'm changing accountsservice to
properly respect G_DBUS_FLAGS_ALLOW_INTERACTIVE_AUTHORIZATION, and
libaccountsservice uses generated code for D-Bus method calls. So
these changes will allow libaccountsservice to continue allowing
interactive authorization, and avoid breaking any users of it which
expect that. See
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/accountsservice/accountsservice/merge_requests/46
It might make sense to also let GDBusCallFlags be specified for property
set operations, but that is not needed in the case of accountsservice,
and would require significant work and breaking API in multiple places.
Similarly, the generated code currently hard codes -1 as the timeout
value when calling g_dbus_proxy_call*(). Add a timeout_msec argument so
the user of the generated code can specify the timeout as well.
Also, test this new API. In gio/tests/codegen.py we test that the new
arguments are generated if and only of --glib-min-version is used with a
value greater than or equal to 2.64, and in gio/tests/meson.build we
test that the generated code with the new API can be linked against.
The test_unix_fd_list() test also needed modification to continue
working now that we're using gdbus-test-codegen.c with code generated
with --glib-min-version=2.64 in one test.
Finally, update the docs for gdbus-codegen to explain the effect of
using --glib-min-version 2.64, both from this commit and from
"gdbus-codegen: Emit GUnixFDLists if an arg has type `h` w/
min-version".
This reverts commit 398c048c66.
It got removed because it used to cause build issues, but now that we
have a CI let's hope it won't be a problem any more.
This can be used by callers to opt-in to backwards-incompatible changes
to the behaviour or output of `gdbus-codegen` in future. This commit
doesn’t introduce any such changes, though.

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.
Some of these have a negative master/slave connotation, and they add no
value. Change or drop them.

dep-list.c isn’t generated, but contains non-documentation gtk-doc-style
comments which are probably better left in place, since the code is

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.

The g_app_info_launch_uris_async() and g_app_info_launch_uris_finish()
functions are crucial to fix g_app_info_launch_default_for_uri_async()
to be really asynchronous.
This patch also adds GDesktopAppInfo implementation of that vfuncs.
The implementation may still use some synchronous calls to local MIME DB.

This allows returning WOULD_BLOCK without allocating a GError, and
should later be used for various functions of GPollableOutputStream,
GPollableInputStream and anything else that can potentially block.
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.

Right now this can only be set at construction but not read back.
That seems unnecessarily restrictive, and we'll need to read these
flags from outside of gdbusconnection.c in the next commit, so let's
just make it public.

Add option to not encode resource data into the C source file
in order to embed the data using `ld -b binary`. This improves compilation
times, but can only be done on Linux or other platforms with a
supporting linker.

Add a new G_TEST_OPTIONS_ISOLATE_XDG_DIRS option for g_test_init() which
automatically creates a temporary set of XDG directories, and a
temporary home directory, and overrides the g_get_user_data_dir() (etc.)
functions for the duration of the unit test with the temporary values.
This is intended to better isolate unit tests from the user’s actual
data and home directory. It works with g_test_subprocess(), but does not
work with subprocesses spawned manually by the test — each unit test’s
code will need to be amended to correctly set the XDG_* environment
variables in the environment of any spawned subprocess.
“Why not solve that by setting the XDG environment variables for the
whole unit test process tree?” I hear you say. Setting environment
variables is not thread safe and they would need to be re-set for each
unit test, once worker threads have potentially been spawned.

Add a new internal function, g_set_user_dirs(), which will safely
override the values returned by g_get_user_data_dir() and friends, and
the value returned by g_get_home_dir().
This is intended to be used by unit tests, and will be hooked up to them
in a following commit.
This can be called as many times as needed by the current process. It’s
thread-safe. It does not modify the environment, so none of the changes
are propagated to any subsequently spawned subprocesses.

Similarly to g_source_set_name(), this sets a name on a GTask for
debugging and profiling. Importantly, this name is propagated to the
GSource for idle callbacks for the GTask, ending the glorious reign of
`[gio] complete_in_idle_cb`.
The name can be queried using g_task_get_name(). Locking is avoided by
only allowing the name to be set before the GTask is used from another
thread.

Currently, there isn't API to determine root path for mounts created
over bind operation (or btrfs subvolumes). This causes issues to our
volume monitors if there is multiple mounts for one device, which can
happen with libmount-based implementation currently. Let's propagate
root path from libmount over g_unix_mount_get_root_path, so we can
handle this somehow in our volume monitors.

Previously, GVariant has allowed ‘arbitrary’ recursion on GVariantTypes,
but this isn’t really feasible. We have to deal with GVariants from
untrusted sources, and the nature of GVariantType means that another
level of recursion (and hence, for example, another stack frame in your
application) can be added with a single byte in a variant type signature
in the input. This gives malicious input sources far too much leverage
to cause deep stack recursion or massive memory allocations which can
DoS an application.
Limit recursion to 128 levels (which should be more than enough for
anyone™), document it and add a test. This is, handily, also the limit
of 64 applied by the D-Bus specification (§(Valid Signatures)), plus a
bit to allow wrapping of D-Bus messages in additional layers of
variants.

The X-Flatpak-RenamedFrom key is used in .desktop files to identify past
names for the desktop file. It is defined to be a list of strings.
However, there was previously no correct way to retrieve a list of
strings from the GKeyFile wrapped by GDesktopAppInfo, short of
re-parsing the file with GKeyFile.
Note that doing something like:
g_strsplit (g_desktop_app_info_get_string (...), ";", -1)
is not correct: the raw value "a\;b;" represents the one-element list
["a;b"], but g_key_file_get_string() rejects the sequence "\;", and so
g_desktop_app_info_get_string() returns NULL in this case. (Of course, a
.desktop file with a semicolon in its name is a pathological case.)
Add g_desktop_app_info_get_string_list(), a trivial wrapper around
g_key_file_get_string_list(), similar to g_desktop_app_info_get_string()
and co.
The change from g_key_file_free() to g_key_file_unref() in the test is
needed because g_key_file_free() clears the contents of the keyfile.
This is fine for all the fields which are eagerly loaded and copied into
GDesktopAppInfo, but not when we want to access arbitrary stuff from the
keyfile.
This is detected by Debian's Lintian tool, which suggests
"allows one to" as a replacement. I've rephrased the documentation
in question to avoid both of those.

Expands to the GNU C fallthrough statement attribute if the compiler is gcc.
This allows declaring case statement to explicitly fall through in switch
statements. To enable this feature, use -Wimplicit-fallthrough during
compilation.
There are many cases where a default TLS database is not able to be
defined within the constraints of a system. For example glib-networking
(or glib-openssl) cannot retrieve the default certificate store on iOS
or Android and need to be initialized from a cert file of certificates
bundled with the application.
Previously GStreamer was relying on a custom patch to glib-networking to
populate the default database from the file pointed to by the
CA_CERTIFICATES environment variable however the mechanism that enabled
this was recently remove from glib-networking.
Adding a more generic g_tls_backend_set_default_database() API allows
application developers to override the default database using their own
certificates as well as allowing equivalent functionality on Android/iOS
(or others) as on the default database handling Linux.

The goal of this commit is to reduce differences between the autotools and meson build.
With autotools AC_FUNC_ALLOCA was used which defines HAVE_ALLOCA_H, HAVE_ALLOCA,
C_ALLOCA. meson tried to replicate that with has_function() but alloca can be a macro
and and is named _alloca under Windows. Since we require a working alloca anyway
and only need to know if the header exists replace AC_FUNC_ALLOCA with a simple
AC_CHECK_HEADERS.
There is still one user of HAVE_ALLOCA in the embedded gnulib, but since alloca is
always provided through galloca.h just force define HAVE_ALLOCA there and add a comment.
The docs were mentioning alloca as an example for cross compiling. Since that variable no
longer exists now replace it with another one.
They should either be generated at build time, or ignored completely,
depending on the presence of --[enable|disable]-man.

A lot of GLib APIs provide a string length and explicitly say that the strings
are not NUL terminated. For instance, parsing XML using GMarkupParser or
reading packed binary strings from mmapped data files.
The last part of the reference counting saga.
Now that we have:
- reference counter types
- reference counted allocations
we can finally add reference counted strings using reference counted
allocations to avoid creating a new String type, and reimplementing
every single string-based API.
