8916874ee6 codegen: Add --interface-info-[body|header] modes
These generate basic .c and .h files containing the GDBusInterfaceInfo
for a D-Bus introspection XML file, but no other code (no skeletons,
proxies, GObjects, etc.).

This is useful for projects who want to describe their D-Bus interfaces
using introspection XML, but who wish to implement the interfaces
manually (for various reasons, typically because the skeletons generated
by gdbus-codegen are too simplistic and limiting). Previously, these
projects would have had to write the GDBusInterfaceInfo manually, which
is painstaking and error-prone.

The new --interface-info-[body|header] options are very similar to
--[body|header], but mutually exclusive with them.

Add G_SOURCE_FUNC cast macro which suppresses -Wcast-function-type
This is the workaround suggested by
https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Warning-Options.html#index-Wcast-function-type

This warning is not enabled by default during the GLib build, but
applications may want to opt into it.

9e5a53d576 Add reference counting types
We have a common pattern for reference counting in GLib, but we always
implement it with ad hoc code. This is a good chance at trying to
standardise the implementation and make it public, so that other code
using GLib can take advantage of shared behaviour and semantics.

Instead of simply taking an integer variable, we should create type
aliases, to immediately distinguish the reference counting semantics of
the code; we can handle mixing atomic reference counting with a
non-atomic type (and vice versa) by using differently signed values for
the atomic and non-atomic cases.

The gatomicrefcount type is modelled on the Linux kernel refcount_t
type; the grefcount type is added to let single-threaded code bases to
avoid paying the price of atomic memory barriers on reference counting
operations.

3aa23078ac build: Remove the --disable-mem-pools build option and the DISABLE_MEM_POOLS macro
It's mostly not used anymore and doesn't do what it says it does.

The docs state that it affects GList, GSList, GNode, GMemChunks, GSignal,
GType n_preallocs and GBSearchArray while:

* GList, GSList and GNode use GSlice and are not affected
* GMemChunks is gone
* GType npreallocs is ignored

It also states that it can be used to force the usage of g_malloc/g_free,
which is handled by G_SLICE=always-malloc now.

The only places where it's used is in signal handling through GBSearchArray
and in GValueArray (deprecated). Since it's unlikely that anyone wants to
reduce allocation sizes just for those cases remove the build option.

118332dd5c Remove unused ENABLE_GC_FRIENDLY_DEFAULT and its build option
ENABLE_GC_FRIENDLY_DEFAULT was supposed to set the default for the gc friendliness
while still allowing to force enable it at runtime with G_DEBUG=gc-friendly.

With commit 943a18b564 (6 years ago) things were changed to always set it
according to the content of G_DEBUG in glib_init(), making the default unused.

Since nobody complained since then just remove the macro and the build option.

d0821da524 gio: Add g_unix_mount_get_options
GVfsUDisks2VolumeMonitor handles x-gvfs-hide/x-gvfs-show mount options
used to overwrite our heuristics whether the mount should be shown, or
hidden. Unfortunately, it works currently only for mounts with
corresponding fstab entries, because the options are read over
g_unix_mount_point_get_options. Let's introduce g_unix_mount_get_options
to allow reading of the options for all sort of mounts (e.g. created
over pam_mount, or manually mounted).

b9b642de06 fileutils: Add g_canonicalize_filename
Getting the canonical filename is a relatively common
operation when dealing with symbolic links.

This commit exposes GLocalFile's implementation of a
filename canonicalizer function, with a few additions
to make it more useful for consumers of it.

Instead of always assuming g_get_current_dir(), the
exposed function allows passing it as an additional
parameter.

This will be used to fix the GTimeZone code to retrieve
the local timezone from a zoneinfo symlink.

(Tweaked by Philip Withnall <withnall@endlessm.com> to drop g_autofree
usage and add some additional tests.)

8945227743 gtimezone: Add g_time_zone_get_identifier() accessor
This is a non-trivial accessor which gets the identifier string used to
create the GTimeZone — unless the string passed to g_time_zone_new() was
invalid, in which case the identifier will be `UTC`.

Implementing this required reworking how timezone information was loaded
so that the tz->name is always set at the same time as tz->t_info, so
they are in sync. Previously, the tz->name was unconditionally set to
whatever was passed to g_time_zone_new(), and then not updated if the
tz->t_info was eventually set to the default UTC information.

This includes tests for the new g_time_zone_get_identifier() API, and
for the g_date_time_get_timezone() API added in the previous commit.

Similarly to how glib-compile-resources can call xmllint to eliminate

The mechanism for using json-glib-format is the same, with a separate

version of json-glib-format that is not the one in the PATH.

4808a957b5 GFile: Add g_file_peek_path()
This is a variant of g_file_get_path() which returns a const string to
the caller, rather than transferring ownership.

I've been carrying `gs_file_get_path_cached()` in libgsystem and it
has seen a lot of use in the ostree and flatpak codebases.  There are
probably others too.

I think language bindings like Python/Gjs could also use this to avoid
an extra malloc (i.e. we could transparently replace
`g_file_get_path()` with `g_file_peek_path()`.

2.56, change the function name and drop the locking.)

0e22d19a11 Bug-790839 GApplication command line --help enhancements
In order to enrich information displayed by GApplication command line
handling when --help is invoked, 3 new methods are proposed:
. g_application_set_option_context_parameter_string
. g_application_set_option_context_summary
. g_application_set_option_context_description
Those methods interact with the GApplication's internal GOptionContext
which is created for command line parsing in g_application_parse_command_line.
(please refer to the GOptionContext class for more information about option
context, parameter string, summary and description.)

To illustrate the 3 methods, an example is provided:

the week and ordinal day formats as these are supported in the GDateTime APIs.

4fe89b0437 gstrfuncs: Add replacement for string-to-number functions
Very often when we want to convert a string to number, we assume that
the string contains only a number. We have g_ascii_strto* family of
functions to do the conversion but they are awkward to use - one has
to check if errno is zero, end_ptr is not NULL and *end_ptr points to
the terminating nul and then do the bounds checking. Many projects
need this kind of functionality, so it gets reimplemented all the
time.

This commit adds some replacement functions that convert a string to a
signed or unsigned number that also follows the usual way of error
reporting - returning FALSE on failure and filling an error output
parameter.

7890573f6e gdbus-tool: Add a command to wait for a well-known name on the bus
This is effectively the mc-wait-for-name tool from
telepathy-mission-control; moving it in to gdbus-tool will make it more
widely useful without making people depend on telepathy-mission-control
for no other reason. The code here is reimplemented from scratch to use
GDBus.

It blocks until the specified well-known name is owned by some process
on the bus (which can be the session, system, or any other bus). By
passing --activate, the same (or a different) name can be auto-started
on the bus first.

A timeout can be specified to ensure the process doesn’t block forever.

c4695f192c build: Rename SystemTap scripts to include the LT version
In a vague attempt at ensuring the .stp scripts can be closely
associated with the .so files which they hard-code references to, rename
the scripts so they include the LT version — so that they are the .so
file name plus .stp.

This does not fix the fact that our .stp scripts will not work on
multiarch systems, as they are installed in an architecture-independent
directory (/usr/share/systemtap/tapset). At the moment, it is
recommended that any distribution who package the .stp files should
install them in the architecture-specific subdirectories of this (for
example, /usr/share/systemtap/tapset/x86-64).

A better long-term solution for this is under discussion upstream:

This adds a new --c-generate-autocleanup option to gdbus-codegen
which can be used to instruct gdbus-codegen about what autocleanup

Doing this unconditionally was found to interfere with existing
code out in the wild.

The new option takes an argument that can be
none, objects or all; to indicate whether to generate no
autocleanup functions, only do it for object types, or do it
for interface types as well. The default is 'objects', which
matches the unconditional behavior of gdbus-codegen on the 2.48

c3d6934f18 gio: Add DTLS interfaces
Add a new GDtlsConnection interface, plus derived GDtlsClientConnection
and GDtlsServerConnection interfaces, for implementing Datagram TLS
support in glib-networking.

A GDtlsConnection is a GDatagramBased, so may be used as a normal
datagram socket, wrapping all datagrams from a base GDatagramBased in
DTLS segments.

Test cases are included in the implementation in glib-networking.

398c048c66 docs: remove GDBusObjectManager example
This example has been causing on-and-off build breaks for quite some
time.  In this case, the code for copying the generated content into the
main docs of GIO is causing problems with srcdir != destdir builds (due
to the files also being copied from the read-only srcdir during
distchecks).

We could probably work around this problem yet again, but since there is
no real benefit to having this content included, so let's remove it.

d0219f2597 GLib: add bounds-checked unsigned int arithmetic
Add some helpers for builds-checked unsigned integer arithmetic to GLib.
These will be based on compiler intrinsics where they are available,
falling back to standard manual checks otherwise.

The fallback case needs to be implemented as a function (which we do
inline) because we cannot rely on statement expressions.  We also
implement the intrinsics case as an inline in order to avoid people
accidentally writing non-portable code which depends on static
evaluation of the builtin.

For now there is only support for addition and multiplication for guint,
guint64 and gsize.  It may make sense to add support for subtraction or
for the signed equivalents of those types in the future if we find a use
for that.

128c413261 gsocketconnectable: Add a to_string() virtual method
Add string serialisation functions for GNetworkAddress, GSocketAddress,
GUnixSocketAddress, GInetSocketAddress, GNetworkService and
GSocketConnectable. These are intended for use in debug output, not for
serialisation in network or disc protocols.

They are implemented as a new virtual method on GSocketConnectable:
g_socket_connectable_to_string().

GInetSocketAddress and GUnixSocketAddress now implement
GSocketConnectable directly to implement to_string(). Previously they
implemented it via their abstract parent class, GSocketAddress.

4e631d2e5f gio: Add GDatagramBased interface and rebase GSocket on it
GDatagramBased is an interface abstracting datagram-based communications
in the style of the Berkeley sockets API. It may be contrasted to (for
example) GIOStream, which supports only streaming I/O.

GDatagramBased allows socket-like communications to be done through any
object, not just a concrete GSocket (which wraps socket()).

This adds the GDatagramBased interface, and implements it in GSocket.

fa0f51ddf8 fileinfo: Add a G_FILE_ATTRIBUTE_STANDARD_IS_VOLATILE attribute
This is meant for opaque, non-POSIX-like backends to indicate that the
URI is not persistent. Applications should look at
G_FILE_ATTRIBUTE_STANDARD_SYMLINK_TARGET for the persistent URI.
Examples of such backends could be a portal for letting sandboxed
applications access the file-system, or a database-backed storage like
Google Drive.

In these cases, the user visible file and folder names are different
from the real identifiers, used by the backend. So, a request to
create google-drive://user@gmail.com/foo/New\ File, would actually
lead to google-drive://user@gmail.com/foo/bar on the server even though
the user visible name is still "New File". Since the server-defined URI
is persistent and sanity-checked by the backend, it is recommended that
applications switch to it as soon as possible. Backends will try to
keep a mapping from "fake" to "real" URIs, but those are only on a
best effort basis. They might not be persistent or have the same
guarantees as the "real" URIs.

This can be used to query whether the task has completed, in the sense
that it has had a result set on it, and has already – or will soon –
invoke its callback function.

Notifications for this property are emitted immediately after the task’s
main callback, in the same main context as that callback. This allows
for multiple bits of code to listen for completion of the GTask, which
opens the door for blocking on cancellation of the GTask and improved
handling of ‘pending’ behaviour.

actually specifically says that a new monitor will be created each time.

2596919c58 macros: add support for GNUC cleanup __attribute__
Add g_auto() and g_autoptr() as helpers for declaring variables with
automatic cleanup.

Add some macros to help types define cleanup functions for themselves.

Going forward it will be an expectation that people use this macro when
creating a new type, even if they do not intend to use the auto-cleanup
functionality for themselves.

These new macros only work on GCC and clang, which is why we resisted
adding them for so long.  There exist many people who are only
interested in writing programs for these compilers, however, and a
similar API in libgsystem has proven to be extremely popular, so let's
expose this functionality to an even wider audience.

We ignore deprecation warnings when emitting the free functions, which
seems suspicious.  The reason that we do this is not because we want to
call deprecated functions, but just the opposite: sometimes the free
function will be an _unref() function that is only AVAILABLE_IN newer
versions, and these warnings are also implemented as deprecation
warnings.

d951db4236 gobject: Add g_set_object() convenience function to set GObject pointers
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.

This is a convenience method for creating a GNetworkAddress which is

cannot guarantee that 'localhost' will resolve to both types of
address, so programs which wish to connect to a local service over
either IPv4 or IPv6 must currently manually create an IPv4 and another
IPv6 socket, and detect which of the two are working. This new API
allows the existing GSocketConnectable machinery to be used to
automate that.

In addition to the standard "192.168.1.1" format, there are numerous

"0xc0a80101"). However, none of these forms are ever used any more
except in phishing attempts. GLib wasn't supposed to be accepting
these addresses (neither g_hostname_is_ip_address() nor
g_inet_address_new_from_string() recognizes them), but getaddrinfo()
accepts them, and so the parts of gio that use getaddrinfo()
accidentally did accept those formats.

Fix GNetworkAddress and GResolver to reject these address formats.

Add support for parsing command line options with GApplication.

You can add GOptionGroup and GOptionEntry using two new APIs:
g_application_add_option_group() and
g_application_add_main_option_entries().

Also add a "handle-local-options" signal that allows handling of
commandline arguments in the local process without having to override
local_command_line.

As a special feature, you can have a %NULL @arg_data in a GOptionEntry
which will cause the argument to be stored in a GVariantDict.  This
dictionary is available for inspection and modification by the
"handle-local-options" signal and can be forwarded to the primary
instance in cases of command line invocation (where it can be fetched
using g_application_command_line_get_options()).

eeac91f866 GVariant: Add g_variant_parse_error_quark()
Most GErrors, such as GSomethingError, have a function to get
their quark that looks like g_something_error_quark(),
so bindings (such as gtkmm) would expect GVariantParseError
to have g_variant_parse_error_quark(). Instead this had
g_variant_parser_get_error_quark().
This deprecates the old function and adds the correct one,
making life easier for gtkmm (and maybe others).

g_test_set_nonfatal_assertions() was a no-op, because
g_assertion_message() wasn't actually checking the
test_nonfatal_assertions flag. Fix that and add a test.

Also, g_test_set_nonfatal_assertions() has to set test_mode_fatal to
FALSE as well, or else a failed assertion will cause the test program
to abort at the end of the failed test.

Also, belatedly add this and the new g_assert_* methods to the docs.

51a917bc16 Remove alleged support for BeOS
Since the initial addition of BeOS support in 1999, there has only
been one update to it (in 2005, and it wasn't even very big). GLib is
known to not currently build on Haiku (or presumably actual BeOS)
without additional patching, and the fact that there isn't a single
G_OS_BEOS check in gio/ is suspicious.

Additionally, other than the GModule implementation, all of the
existing G_OS_BEOS checks are either (a) "G_OS_UNIX || G_OS_BEOS", or
(b) random minor POSIXy tweaks (include this header file rather than
that one, etc), suggesting that if we were going to support Haiku, it
would probably be simpler to treat it as a special kind of G_OS_UNIX
(as we do with Mac OS X) rather than as its own completely different
thing.

So, kill G_OS_BEOS.

This will be used by dconf-editor and gnome-tweak-tool.

This API is a bit heavy -- it parses the XML and builds a table.  It
also loads gettext domains for translation.  It only does these things
if it is used, however, so it will not impact normal applications.

We store the summary/description in a pair of hash tables on the schema
source (which we have a backref to as of a few commits ago).  We can't
use a global table because people might want to request summary and
description from non-default sources.  We don't want to use per-schema
tables because we'd have to reparse the directory every time (since we
cannot guess which file a schema may have been in).

fe7069749f file-info: Add a G_FILE_ATTRIBUTE_THUMBNAIL_IS_VALID attribute
This indicates whether the thumbnail (given by G_FILE_ATTRIBUTE_THUMBNAIL_PATH)
is valid — i.e. to represent the file in its current state. If
G_FILE_ATTRIBUTE_THUMBNAIL_IS_VALID is FALSE (for a normal _or_ failed
thumbnail) it means the file has changed since the thumbnail was generated, and
the thumbnail is out of date.

Part of checking thumbnail validity (by the spec) involves parsing
headers out of the thumbnail .png so we include some (small) code to do
that in a separate file.  We will likely want to copy this code to gvfs
to do the same for GVfsFile.

Heavily based on a patch from Philip Withnall <philip.withnall@collabora.co.uk>
who suggested the feature and designed the API.

5b48dc40cc GSubprocess: New class for spawning child processes
There are a number of nice things this class brings:

0) Has a race-free termination API on all platforms (on UNIX, calls to
   kill() and waitpid() are coordinated as not to cause problems).
1) Operates in terms of G{Input,Output}Stream, not file descriptors
2) Standard GIO-style async API for wait() with cancellation
3) Makes some simple cases easy, like synchronously spawning a
   process with an argument list
4) Makes hard cases possible, like asynchronously running a process
   with stdout/stderr merged, output directly to a file path

6dc5c118e4 Implement the Desktop Action specification
For some time, the desktop file specification has supported "additional
application actions".  This is intended to allow for additional methods
of starting an app, such as a mail client having a "Compose New Message"
action that brings up the compose window instead of the folder list.

This patch adds support for this with a relatively minimal API.

In the case that the application is a GApplication and DBusActivatable,
desktop actions are translated into GActions that have been added to the
application with g_action_map_add_action().  This more or less closes
the loop on being able to activate an application with an action
invocation (instead of 'activate').

960f5500e2 gtestutils: add g_test_trap_subprocess()
g_test_trap_fork() doesn't work on Windows and is potentially flaky on
unix anyway given the fork-but-don't-exec. Replace it with
g_test_trap_subprocess(), which re-spawns the same program with
arguments telling it to run a specific (otherwise-ignored) test case.

Make the existing g_test_trap_fork() unit tests be unix-only (they
never passed on Windows anyway), and add a parallel set of
g_test_trap_subprocess() tests.

Also fix the logic of gtestutils's "-p" argument (which is used by the
subprocess tests); previously if you had tests "/foo/bar" and
"/foo/bar/baz", and ran the test program with "-p /foo/bar/baz", it
would run "/foo/bar" too. Fix that and add tests.

c18462b580 GParamSpec: add g_param_spec_get_default_value()
The way of getting the default value out of a GParamSpec is to allocate
a GValue, initialise it, then call g_param_spec_set_default() to set the
default value into that GValue.

This is exactly how we handle setting the default value for all of the
construct properties that were not explicitly passed to g_object_new().

Instead of doing the alloc/init/store on all construct properties on
every call to g_object_new(), we can cache those GValues in the private
data of the GParamSpec itself and reuse them.

This patch does not actually make that change to g_object_new() yet, but
it adds the API to GParamSpec so that a future patch to GObject can make
the change.
