This makes easier to write a module that can be both dynamic and static.
It will allow to statically build modules from glib-networking, for
example.
A module can rename its g_io_module_load() function to
g_io_<modulename>_load(), and then an application which links statically
against that module can call g_io_<modulename>_load(NULL) to register
types and extension points from the module. If a module is loaded
dynamically, its load() function will continue to be called with a
non-NULL GIOModule instance.

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,
Meson, and git. Git is also optional if you provide a tarball in
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.

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

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.

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.

It’s quite common to see naked g_signal_connect() calls without a paired

We already do this in the normal case, might as well support it for the
dynamic type module case as well. This prevents seeing a warning when not
using the get_instance_private() in the dynamic type.
Using the register keyword triggers warnings on noteworthy compilers

Prevents race condition in function g_io_condition_get_type by ensuring
that the initialization section for 'etype' is executed only once
during a program's life time, and that concurrent threads are blocked
until initialization completes. This changes solves the problem that
concurrent threads could execute the check 'etype == 0' before any of
them had initialized it, which in turn meant that multiple threads
would then attempt to register the "GIOCondition" type.

This test checks the performance of connecting, disconnecting and

Restricting the number of children to be less than 4095 can

GClosure has been in the "allocate area before the pointer" game since
before we did this with GTypeInstance. At the time that this was done
for GClosure, we didn't have valgrind.h in GLib.
Now that we do, we should add similar valgrind hints as the ones we did
for GTypeInstance. This substantially reduces reports of "possibly
lost" on pretty much any program that makes use of signals.

It’s quite common to see a g_param_spec_pointer() used for GObject or
boxed types which, while not incorrect, does make memory management
unsafe, since no copying or reference counting can be performed
automatically.
Similarly, people often use g_param_spec_boolean() when an enum would be
more appropriate, cf.
http://blog.ometer.com/2011/01/20/boolean-parameters-are-wrong/
Using enums also means that the set of allowable values can be extended
in future if needed.
In the hope that people who write code like that read the documentation,
mention the more specific types in the documentation.

Document each of the baked-in CClosure marshallers that we have in

Based on a patch from Xavier Claessens <xavier.claessens@collabora.com>.
Use the (private) _GLIB_DEFINE_AUTOPTR_CHAINUP macro for
G_DECLARE_DERIVABLE_TYPE and G_DECLARE_FINAL_TYPE so that we will
attempt to typedef and define items necessary for GCC
__attribute__((cleanup)) on, well, GCC only.
This fixes the build on non-GCC.

Automatically add support for the new cleanup macros to the type
declaration macros.
This is an API break because now your parent class needs to support
cleanup if you want to use G_DECLARE_*_TYPE. These macros are only 1
day old, however, so that's probably not a big problem (and we are
already busy adding the macros all over GLib and Gtk+).

Add G_DECLARE_DERIVABLE_TYPE() and G_DECLARE_FINAL_TYPE() to allow
skipping almost all of the typical GObject boilerplate code.
These macros make some assumptions about GObject best practice that mean
that they may not be usable with older classes that have to preserve
API/ABI compatibility with a time before these practices existed.

Using G_STRLOC ends up embedding unique strings of the form
__FILE__:__LINE__ in the compiled binary. We can avoid these
by passing __FILE__ and __LINE__ separately when constructing
the warning text.
This probably reduces the size of the binary as __FILE__ is
likely already contained as string otherwise.
Note that for GCC 2.x this changes behavior because G_STRLOC
also contained __PRETTY_FUNCTION__.

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
value. If handled naïvely, that could result in the object instance
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);
It also simplifies boilerplate code such as set_property()
implementations, which are otherwise long and boring.
Test cases included.

Not all instances have a TypeNode associated (e.g. GstEvent), so lets check if node is available

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.

By default G_PARAM_DEPRECATED means absolutely nothing. We only emit a

GParamSpec has a possibility of user-introduced flags, and we didn't
respect that with the addition of _EXPLICIT_NOTIFY.
Change the documentation for the maximum number of user flags to 10,
just to pick a somewhat random number. The documentation here was never
correct anyway -- it previously claimed that as many as 38 flags were
possible.
Meanwhile, move G_PARAM_EXPLICIT_NOTIFY next to _DEPRECATED in order to
avoid conflicts with low-numbered user flags (which are in use by at
least evolution-data-server).

A year ago, we tried to remove support for adding interfaces on
already-initialised types. There were problems with the C++ and C#
bindings at the time, so we added exceptions to give them a bit more

removed, so let's take them out now.

g_type_is_fundamentally_a (see bug 730984) is a new API/ABI and is
marked with a version macro. We should therefore avoid its
unconditional use from G_IS_OBJECT() and G_IS_PARAM_SPEC() which are
APIs that have been around for a long time.
This prevents deprecation warnings from being emitted when these
functions are used with an older GLIB_VERSION_MAX_ALLOWED and also
prevents linking to the new ABI in that case (so that it's possible to
use the resulting binary with an older version of GLib).

Add a flag to prevent the automatic emission of the "notify" signal
during g_object_set_property().
If this flag is set then the class must explicitly emit the notify

many cases where it is needed.

Although returning NULL from constructor is strongly discouraged, some
old libraries need to keep doing it for ABI-compatibility reasons.
