Add the GLIB_AVAILABLE_IN_ALL annotation to all old functions (that
haven't already been annotated with the GLIB_AVAILABLE_IN_* macros or a
deprecation macro).
If we discover in the future that we cannot use only one macro on
Windows, it will be an easy sed patch to fix that.

The previous fix didn't work, because every place within glib that
used any of the functions also needed to be including win32compat.h.
So, move the prototypes back to their original headers (but at least
all in one place at the bottom).
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=688109
To avoid -Wmissing-prototype warnings, we need to prototype both the
original and the _utf8 versions of all of the functions that have had
_utf8-renaming on Windows. But duplicating all the prototypes is ugly,
so rather than doing them "in-place", move them all to a new header
file just for that.

Many (if not "almost all") programs that spawn other programs via
g_spawn_sync() or the like simply want to check whether or not the
child exited successfully, but doing so requires use of
platform-specific functionality and there's actually a fair amount of
boilerplate involved.
This new API will help drain a *lot* of mostly duplicated code in
GNOME, from gnome-session to gdm. And we can see that some bits even
inside GLib were doing it wrong; for example checking the exit status
on Unix, but ignoring it on Windows.

Add a G_SPAWN_SEARCH_PATH_FROM_ENVP flag to GSpawnFlags so that
g_spawn_async() etc use the PATH variable from the passed-in child
environment to search for the executable.
If both this flag and the G_SPAWN_SEARCH_PATH flag are set, the
child environment is searched first and only falls back to the
PATH from the process environment if it is unset.
Bug #676398.
Rename G_SPAWN_ERROR_2BIG to G_SPAWN_ERROR_TOO_BIG (while keeping the
old name for compatibility), to fix problems with language bindings
where the old name translates into something that would be
syntactically invalid due to starting with a digit.

When spawning a child process, it is not safe to call setenv() before
the fork() (because setenv() isn't thread-safe), but it's also not
safe to call it after the fork() (because it's not async-signal-safe).
So the only safe way to alter the environment for a child process from
a threaded program is to pass a fully-formed envp array to
exec*/g_spawn*/etc.
So, add g_environ_getenv(), g_environ_setenv(), and
g_environ_unsetenv(), which act like their namesakes, but work on
arbitrary arrays rather than working directly on the environment.

Use the opt-out mechanism introduced in gtk-doc 1.16 to work
around problems with the _utf8 renaming games that the win32
port is playing in our headers.

* glib/glib.h: #define __GLIB_H_INSIDE__ around including
everything.
* glib/*.h: check for that define instead of __G_LIB_H__ if
G_DISABLE_SINGLE_INCLUDES is defined.
* glib/gdatasetprivate.h: #include <glib.h> instead of
<glib/gdataset.h>

* glib/*.h: make it possible to disable single-file includes by
defining G_DISABLE_SINGLE_INCLUDES when building against GLib.
Approved by Tim Janik.
* glib/glib.h: include <glib/gslice.h>.
* glib/gi18n.h
* glib/gi18n-lib.h
* glib/gprintf.h: include <glib.h> so the above works when these
files are included without including <glib.h> first.

Make also the g_spawn*() functions take parameters in the GLib
file name encoding, i.e. UTF-8, on Windows. Has no impact on Unix
API or ABI. Like the other GLib API that was earlier changed to
use UTF-8 on Windows, the names of the functions that take UTF-8
have _utf8 suffixes added by using preprocessor macros in the
header file. The old names are kept for functions with the old
behaviour, taking parameters in the system codepage, for DLL ABI
stability.
* glib/gspawn.h: On Win32 add the suffix _utf8 to the names of the
g_spawn*() functions.
* glib/gspawn-win32.c: Use wide-char API on NT-based
Windows. Convert parameters from UTF-8 to wide chars (NT) or
system codepage (Win9x) and call the C library _wspawn*() or
spawn*() functions respectvely. Add DLL ABI stability versions
that take parameters in the system codepage.
* glib/gspawn-win32-helper.c: On NT-based Windows use the
wide-char versions of argv and envp, and use wide-char API to
change directory and spawn the program to run. Remove the verbose
debugging output, it was too complex to modify for the wide-char
features. (Just add temporary debugging printouts if needed, no
need to have them permanently in the source.)
* glib/gspawn.c: Corresponding documentation updates.
* glib/glib.symbols: Corresponding changes: Mark the ABI stability
symbols as PRIVATE, add the new _utf8-suffixed ones.

Patch from J. Ali Harlow
* configure.in: Use void * not HANDLE for GPid on win32.
* glib/gspawn.[ch] glib/gspawn-win32.[ch] glib/glib.def:
Add g_spawn_close_pid().
* glib/gspawn.[ch]: Make g_spawn functions take
GPid * instead if int * (GPid == int on unix, will
produce compile warnings until fixed on Win32.)
* tests/child-test.c: Make the test a little more
inappropriately verbose.
* glib/gmain.c: Add some documentation warnings about
not closing @pid while the source is active.

* configure.in Makefile.am *.[ch] glib/*.[ch] glib/Makefile.am:
Move glib library into a subdirectory, make all GLib include
files include as <glib/glist.h>
* tests/testglib.c tests/testgdate.c tests/testgdateparser.c
tests/timeloop.c tests/timeloop-basic.c: Move all tests into
the tests/ subdirectory.

* gspawn.c: support G_SPAWN_FILE_AND_ARGV_ZERO specifying that
the vector passed in to g_spawn_* contains a filename to
execute in argv[0] then the actual argv begins at argv + 1.
Kind of a lame hack, but this isn't something you commonly want
to do, and avoids adding more function arguments.
2000-10-09 Havoc Pennington <hp@redhat.com>
* Makefile.am, tests/Makefile.am: Add new files.
* tests/spawn-test.c, tests/shell-test.c: new tests for
the shell/spawn stuff
* gutils.c (g_find_program_in_path): convert a relative
program name into an absolute pathname to an existing
executable
* gspawn.h, gspawn.c: New fork/exec API
* gshell.h, gshell.c: Shell-related utilities, at the moment
simply routines to parse argv and quote/unquote strings
* guniprop.c (g_unichar_isspace): Return TRUE for the
ASCII space characters isspace() returns TRUE for.
* gfileutils.c (g_file_get_contents): Convenience function
to slurp entire file into a string and return it. Partially
written by Joel Becker.
(g_file_test): file test function
