Scanning for stop chars can require looking through a considerable amount
of input data. In the case there is a single stop character, use memchr()
which can be optimized by the compiler to look at word size or greater
amounts of data at a time.
Instead of using singleton initialized the first time when it's needed
we can create the `DBusProxy` object when needed without blocking since
the interface doesn't have any properties nor signals.
The docs recommend using a small number of `keys` when setting data for an
object, the OpenURI portal uses three different `keys` that can easily be replaced
with `g_task_set_task_data()`.
We can’t quite use `access()` for this, like `g_file_test()` does, as
`g_file_query_info()` considers a broken symlink to exist, so we need to
match that by passing `AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW`.
We also use the `AT_EACCESS` flag, which makes the `faccessat()` call
cheaper on Hurd.
Systems without `faccessat()` will continue to use the
`g_file_query_info()`-based implementation of `g_file_query_exists()`.
(Commit message rewritten by Philip Withnall.)
g_file_query_exists looks like a simpler and faster api than
g_file_query_info. This vfunc lets us actually make it faster,
and avoid allocations in this frequently used code path.
For the reasons given in
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/glib/-/merge_requests/4176#note_2233317,
it’s best to not rely on subprocesses when writing tests. Spawning a
subprocess can go wrong, getting feedback and assertion data from a
subprocess is a pain, and making sure the subprocess is killed properly
at the end of the test is hard to get right.
For tests where we are trying to mock a D-Bus service, it’s much more
reliable to run that service in-process (either in the main thread or in
a separate thread).
So, do that for the `fake-document-portal` former subprocess in the
`dbus-appinfo` test: move it to a worker thread.
This speeds the test up, simplifies the build slightly, and should make
the test run more reliable.
In particular, it provides a pattern for future `fake-*-portal` tests to
be built off. This is particularly useful for more complex portals,
where data needs to be relayed back from the mock portal service to the
unit test to check that the code under test has behaved properly. That’s
a pain to do from a subprocess.
Delete the `org.freedesktop.portal.Documents.service` file because we no
longer need to rely on D-Bus service activation within the test, as
we’re setting up the mock service thread explicitly now.

This is better than using `g_getenv ("DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS")` as it
will fail more explicitly if the mock bus somehow isn’t running.
This will be used in an upcoming commit.

All uses of g_variant_builder_init() in gio are safe to translate to the
new g_variant_builder_init_static() alternative as the type will outlive
the call to g_variant_builder_end() (or is already static in nature).
Make the generated GDBus-based code use GVariantBuilder with a static
GVariantType to avoid copying the GVariantType on each use.
This is gated behind a GLib 2.83.0 check.
As with the previous commit, this is _always_ defined in `gmacros.h`
and therefore the `#ifndef` will always be 0 even if disabled.
Just use `#if` instead.

`SOCKS4_CONN_MSG_LEN` failed to account for the length of the final nul
byte in the connect message, which is an addition in SOCKSv4a vs
SOCKSv4.
This means that the buffer for building and transmitting the connect
message could be overflowed if the username and hostname are both
`SOCKS4_MAX_LEN` (255) bytes long.
Proxy configurations are normally statically configured, so the username
is very unlikely to be near its maximum length, and hence this overflow
is unlikely to be triggered in practice.

Fixes: #3461
libinotify-kqueue is a library that implements inotify interface in terms of
kqueue/kevent API available on Mac OS and *BSD systems. The original kqueue
backend seems to be a predecessor version of the code that is currently present
in libinotify-kqueue. Under the hood the library implements a sophisticated
filesystem changes detection algorithm that is derived from the glib backend
code.
Updating the native glib kqueue backend requires substantial work, because code
bases have diverged greatly. Another approach is taken, instead. libinotify-kqueue
can serve as a drop-in replacement for Linux inotify API, thus allowing to
reuse the inotify backend code. The compatibility, however, comes at cost, since
the library has to emulate the inotify descriptor via an unix domain socket.
This means that delivering an event involves copying the data into the kernel
and then pulling it back.
The recent libinotify-kqueue release adds a new mode of operation called "direct".
In this mode the socket pipe is replaced with another kqueue that is used to
deliver events via a kevent(EVFILT_USER) call.
Employing the direct mode requires minor changes to the client code compared
to using plain inotify API, but in return it allows for reusing libinotify's
algorithms without a performance penalty. Luckily, all required changes are
consolidated in one file called inotify-kernel.c
This puts us in the best of possible worlds. On one hand we share a lot of code
with glib inotify backend, which is far more thoroughly tested and widely used.
On the other we support a range of non-Linux systems and consolidate the business
logic in one library. I plan to do the same trick for QFileSystemWatcher which
will give us the same behaviour between Gtk and Qt applications.
The glib test suite passes for both old kqueue backend and new libinotify-kqueue
one. However, the AppStream FileMonitor tests are failing with the old backend,
but pass with the new one, so this is still an observable improvement.

This was intended to make it feasible to debug connection failures where
a modern GDBus client connects to a GDBusServer that is missing
glib!2826, but those GDBusServers should be increasingly rare: we have
had the fixed version of GDBusServer for 5 GNOME stable releases
(2 years), long enough to get into stable releases of Debian and Ubuntu
and a service-pack release of SUSE.
This debug message can be very noisy, especially when unit-testing
GLib code (which is frequently done with G_MESSAGES_DEBUG=all) or when
a third-party GLogFunc ignores the log_level parameter and logs all
messages as though they indicated a serious problem. I think it has
served its purpose now.

Ideally, we would eventually move to always using the
cross-namespace-friendly authentication handshake and never sending an
initial response with the Unix uid or Windows SID, but that's blocked
on waiting for various LTS OS distributions to become unsupported or
otherwise irrelevant. Make a note of some major LTS distributions that
still have an old version that is missing glib!2826.
In the RHEL/CentOS family, CentOS Stream 10 has a fixed version, so
presumably RHEL 10 will have a fixed version when it is released.
In the Debian family, Debian 12 and Ubuntu 24.04 are stable releases
that contain a fixed version.
In the SUSE family, openSUSE 15.6 contains a fixed version, so
presumably so does SLES 15.6.
Faster-moving distributions like Fedora are not a concern here and
can be ignored: it's always the slow-moving and/or LTS distributions
that are going to be holding back interoperability breaks.

The option defaults to 'auto' which keeps the current selection behavior, but
also allows user to override the choice.
Also make the chosen backend is reported to the code via CPP defines.
This introduces no functional changes, but does squash a false positive
warning from `-Wfloat-conversion`:
```
../gio/gapplication.c:462:15: error: implicit conversion turns floating-point number into integer: 'gdouble' (aka 'double') to '_Bool' [-Werror,-Wfloat-conversion]

Remove cmake as we no longer need to build ninja. We can use the
official wheel now since the runner's Python is 3.9 (before: 3.8).
Use the same comment regarding '--wrap-mode' as in the other jobs.
Download and use official ccache binary.
Add myself to the 'only' section in .gitlab-ci.yml so I can have
CI in my fork.
Disable a few deprecation warnings due to the much newer SDK of
the Apple Silicon machine.
Meson 1.5.1 is available in the fd.o SDK and in Debian testing, so the
glib Meson policy says we can update. Update the minimum only as far as
1.4.0 because we don't yet have a need for 1.5.0.
This allows us to:
- Use file.full_path() to avoid deprecation warnings on str.format(file).
- Set c_std=gnu99,c99 to avoid deprecation warnings with gnu99 on MSVC.
Update all the CI builds to use the latest 1.4.x patch release, 1.4.2.
The FreeBSD runner cannot be updated via `gitlab-ci.yml`, so will be
broken for now.
Similarly, the macOS build will not work unless `-Dc_std=gnu99` is
specified at configure time, due to
https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/issues/13639.
The WSAEnumNetworkEvents API is called every time the socket
needs to be checked for status changes. Doing this in an application
with several sockets could generate a high cpu usage since
this call is done for each socket at each iteration of the main loop.
Since there is also a WSAEvent that gets signaled when there is
a change in the status of the socket, checking its status and
calling the WSAEnumNetworkEvents API only if the event is signaled,
can reduce the overall cpu usage.
This was one of the code paths not currently covered by unit tests, so
let’s add a test for it.
This tests what happens when a structurally valid GResource file, but
with a corrupt entry for a compressed file, is loaded.

This is slightly more involved than the previous couple of commits, as
`g_resource_lookup_data()` can return two errors: one if the resource is
not found, and another if decompression fails.
We want to avoid allocating the `G_RESOURCE_ERROR_NOT_FOUND` error, as
`g_resources_lookup_data()` will be looping through multiple
`GResource`s trying to find the given path, and all but one of them will
return `G_RESOURCE_ERROR_NOT_FOUND`. For a large application, this can
amount to a lot of `GError`s allocated and then immediately freed on
startup.
Use the split from the previous commit to replace the call to
`g_resource_lookup_data()` with its two constituent parts. We can then
handle errors from them separately, ignoring the `NOT_FOUND` error from
`do_lookup()`, while paying attention to any errors from
`resource_to_bytes()`.
This should result in no functional difference to
`g_resources_lookup_data()`, but fewer allocations overall.
