This uncovered a bug in name watching if the name wasn't activatable.
Also provoked the need for on_connection variants of g_bus_watch_name
(added g_bus_watch_proxy's variant as well).
This makes it possible to use the cached properties mechanism even if
constructing the proxy with the DO_NOT_LOAD_PROPERTIES flag.
This is useful for cases where you obtain the and track object
properties out-of-band. For example, in udisks, the plan is to have
something like this
Manager.GetObjects (out ao paths, out aa{sa{sv}} all_properties);
Manager.ObjectAdded (o path, a{sa{sv}} all_properties);
Manager.ObjectChanged (o path, a{sa{sv}} all_properties);
Manager.ObjectRemoved (o path, a{sa{sv}} all_properties);
E.g. the first GetObjects() call will return *all* data about *all*
exported objects. Further, this way a client will only need to listen
these three signals (three AddMatch) on the Manager object and it will
never need to do GetAll() etc (e.g. can use DO_NOT_LOAD_PROPERTIES).
(Of course this only works if the client is interested in all
objects... while this is true for udisks it is generally not true for
other D-Bus services).
Also use expected_interface to check for programming errors.
Lots of people been suggesting this. We still use MethodInvocation /
method_invocation for handling incoming method calls so use call()
instead of invoke_method() helps to separate the client and server
facilities. Which is a good thing(tm).
There are apparently two incompatible ways of naming abstract sockets:
pad the sockaddr with 0s and use the entire thing as the name, or else
don't, and just pass a shorter length value to the relevant functions.
We previously only supported the former method. Add support for the
latter.
Also correctly handle "anonymous" unix sockaddrs (eg, the client side
of a connection, or a socketpair() socket), and add unix domain socket
support to the socket-client and socket-server test programs to make
sure this all works.
