g_settings_has_signal_handlers() checks whether any of the signals has
pending handlers. However, g_signal_has_handler_pending() matches on
exact detail, even when passing 0. Subscribing to one of GSettings'
signals with a detail will fail this check and never connect to the
backend.
Fix this by calling has_handler_pending() with the key as detail as
well.

Add a GSocketListener test program. Currently the only test is a
regression test for bug 712570 (based on a standalone bug reproducer
provided by Ross Lagerwall).
If all users of a GThreadedSocketService release their references to the
service while a connection thread is running, the thread function will
release the last reference to the service which causes the finalize to
deadlock waiting for all threads to finish (because it's called from the
thread function).
To fix this, don't wait for all threads to finish in the service's
finalize method. Since the threads hold a reference to the service,
finalize should only be called when all threads are finished running (or
have unrefed the service and are about to finish).

If SSL 3.0 has been disabled (at the host, application, or library
level), then the "use-ssl3" property becomes a "fail-immediately"
property.
Despite the name, the point of the property wasn't really specifically
to use SSL 3.0; it was to allow fallback when talking to broken
servers that do SSL/TLS negotiation incorrectly and break when they
see unexpectedly-high version numbers. So if we can't fall back to SSL
3.0, then the "use-ssl3" property should fall back to TLS 1.0 instead
(since there are hosts that will reject a TLS 1.2 handshake, but
accept a TLS 1.0 one).
glib-networking is being updated to implement that behavior, so update
the documentation here.

In commit 8ff5668, we are subscribing the GSettings backend later, but this
meant that we need to initialize cache_lock earlier, as we might try to
use that lock before a change notification is issued to subscribe the
backend, which would then cause an access violation if we are trying to
read GSettings values, as that lock is used to access the Windows Registry.
Initialize cache_lock once we initialize the GSettings Registry backend,
and delete it upon finalize, so that g_settings_read_from_backend() can
proceed normally, even if the GSettings backend is not yet subscribed.

GSettings objects begin watching for changes as soon as they are created
in order that they can emit the "changed" signal.
In the case of dconf, if we want to be able to emit the changed signal,
we need to go on the bus and add some match rules. This requires
creating the dconf helper thread and also requires initialising GDBus
(which creates another thread).
Some users of GSettings are never interested in the "changed" signal.
One of these users is the glib-networking code that gets run every time
a new network connection is created.
Some users are reporting that they are annoyed that simply establishing
a network connection would spawn two extra threads and create a D-Bus
connection.
In order to avoid doing unnecessary work for these simple uses, delay
the subscription until we know that we will actually need to do it.
We do this in a simple way, using a simple argument: in order for the
user to care that a value changed then they must have:
1) watched for a change signal; and then
2) actually read a value
If the user didn't actually read a value then they cannot possibly be
interested in if the value changed or not (since they never knew the old
value to begin with and therefore would be unable to observe that it
ever changed, since they have nothing to compare the new value with).
This really is a behaviour change, however, and it does impact at least
one user: the 'monitor' functionality of the GSettings commandline tool,
which is interested in reporting changes without ever having known the
original values. We add a workaround to the commandline tool in order
to ensure that it continues to function properly.
It's also possible to argue that it is completely valid to have read a
value and _then_ established a change signal connection under the
(correct) assumption that it would not have been possible to miss a
change signal by virtue of not having returned to the mainloop.
Although this argument is true, this pattern is extremely non-idiomatic,
and the problem is easily avoided by doing things in the usual order.
We never really talked about change notification in the overview
documentation for GSettings, so it seems like now is a good time to add
some discussion, including the new rules for when one can expect change
signals to be emitted.

This should already work according to the documentation, but doesn't
because main_options is consumed before the check in
g_application_parse_command_line().
Fix by moving the check for main_options up.

The win32 headers do:
#define interface struct
which is just evil and breaks other code that assumes it can use
"interface" as a variable name. gnetworking.h was supposed to be doing
"#undef interface" after including the win headers, but it did it too
soon, resulting in it getting redefined by a later include. Fix this.

g_tls_certificate_new_from_file() was only loading the complete chain
if it was fully valid, but we only meant to be validating that it
formed an actual chain (since the caller may be planning to ignore
other errors).

Fix a hang due to overflow by using unsigned numbers and explicitly
checking if the number overflows to zero. This also fixes the previous
logic which assigned an int which may be negative to an unsigned number
resulting in sign extension and strange results.
Use gsize rather than int to allow for large buffers on 64 bit machines.

There are two consistent interpretations that could be taken for memory
handling of the 'invocation' parameter passed to the method_call() virtual
function of GDBusInterfaceVTable
- A reference is passed (transfer full) to the method_call() virtual function,
and that reference is then passed (transfer full) to the return_value/error
functions on GDBusMethodInvocation.
- An internal reference is retained from the point where method_call() is called
until the return_value/error function is called.
Since the return_value/error functions were already marked (transfer full),
we use the first interpretation, annotate the invocation parameter of
method call as (transfer full) and describe this in the documentation, along
with the idea that you are always supposed to call one of the return_value/error
functions.
See bug 738122 for the leak this caused in GJS.

Clarify in the documentation that a GSource created with
g_cancellable_source_new() must be explicitly removed from its
GMainContext before the GCancellable can be finalised.
This could be a common way of leaking GCancellables.

da053e34 broke the tls-certificates test by requiring the backend to
implement g_tls_certificate_verify() (which the test TLS backend
didn't). Add a trivial implementation to make the test pass again;
we'll need something more complicated when we add tests that are
supposed to get errors.
So shortcut it.
I wrote this patch less as a performance optimization and more as a
clarification, so that people looking at the code can be assured of this
invariant.

These functions are inconsistent with our normal conventions in that
they set an output variable to a specified value, even in the case that
an error is thrown.
Document very clearly that this should be considered exceptional.

Similar to the previous patch, this commit contains a minor violation of
normal API conventions. See the explanation in the previous commit

Add an asynchronous version of _read_all().
This API is not fully consistent with the normal expectations of a
non-asynchronous version. Consistency between the sync and async version is
probably more important.
The API will still bind correctly, but access to all functionality will
not be available: specifically, in the case of an error, higher level
languages will be unable to determine how many bytes were successfully
read before the error. Most users will probably not want to use this
information anyway, so this is OK -- and if they do need the
information, then they can just write the loop for themselves.

Commit e24e89b accidentally ironically introduced a typo when replacing
the code with symbolic contents. Specifically, "Added Associations" was
replaced with "Default Applications" when reading defaults.list, giving
a warning about the file containing a "Default Applications" group.
If this was intended, it should have not been lumped in with a cleanup.
This patch changes the behavior of the following functions:
g_tls_certificate_new_from_pem
g_tls_certificate_new_from_file
g_tls_certificate_new_from_files
If more than one certificate is found it will try to load the chain.
It is assumed that the chain will be in the right order (top-level
certificate will be the last one in the file). If the chain cannot be
verified, the first certificate in the file will be returned as before.

g_thread_pool_push() only returns an error if it fails to spawn a new
thread. However, it unconditionally adds the task to its worker queue,
so:
• if _any_ threads exist in the pool, the task will eventually be
handled; and
• if _no_ threads exist in the pool, the task will be handled if one
is eventually successfully spawned.
If no more threads are ever spawned, the process probably has bigger
problems than a single GTask which is taking forever to complete.

For the GPtrArray example, several variables declared on the same line
is harder to read and to work with (to move, remove or comment a single
variable declaration).
Some desktop file directories, like /usr/local/share/applications may be
missing on some systems.
When we try to inotify on these directories, this will result in a
every-4-seconds poll being setup which is quite bad.
This is an issue that should be fixed in inotify itself but the problem
is much larger there. For now, we can work around it in GDesktopAppInfo
by refusing to monitor missing directories.
We may get some spurious notifications of changes in the case that
/usr/local/share or /usr/local/share/applications is created without
actually adding desktop files, but spurious changes can already be
reported in other cases, so that's OK. We won't get (user-visible)
notification for a simple case of a completely unrelated file being
created (however we cannot avoid the wakeup in this case due to how
inotify works). That's probably pretty theoretical, though, since files
in /usr don't change much and for the home directory we're likely to
have at least ~/.config and ~/.local existing.

We use "tweaks" structures to track how a particular directory impacts
the list of added, removed and default applications. We maintain this
set of tweaks for each directory, in a hash table, keyed by unaliased
mime type name, in order to facilitate fast lookups.
A typo in the logic for creating and maintaining the uniqueness of these
structures was causing the default app to be selected incorrectly from
time to time. Fix that.
