These functions may be OK to leave the G_GNUC_MALLOC attribute on,
because the only valid pointers in the storage areas they return are,
themselves, new pointers.
However, it’s a lot easier to remove the attributes now than to try and
diagnose miscompilations in future. The performance impact of this is
likely to be unmeasurable. If there are performance problems caused by
this, then they can be profiled and fixed case-by-case in future,
bearing in mind the possibility for miscompilation if G_GNUC_MALLOC is
readded.

These are our most critically incorrect uses of G_GNUC_MALLOC. See the
previous commit for details.

Thanks to some great investigation by Benjamin Moody, it’s clear that
our documentation and usage of G_GNUC_MALLOC has fallen behind GCC’s
interpretation of the malloc attribute, meaning that recent versions of
GCC could miscompile code which uses G_GNUC_MALLOC incorrectly.
Update the documentation of G_GNUC_MALLOC to match the current GCC
documentation (for GCC 8.2). Following commits will drop our use of
G_GNUC_MALLOC from inappropriate functions.
Specifically, the change in GCC’s interpretation of the malloc attribute
which could cause miscompilation is that returned storage areas are now
assumed to not contain valid pointers — so realloc() cannot have the
malloc attribute, and neither can a function which returns a newly
allocated structure with fields initialised to other pointers.

Clarify that we actually raise SIGTRAP rather than calling abort(). We
haven’t called abort() since about 2011, when commit
a04efe6afb changed the logic to use
SIGTRAP to make it possible to skip past fatal log messages in the
debugger if they weren’t relevant to the problem being debugged.

Check for compile warnings when assigning an int64_t* to a long*,
make gint64 a long long if they occur and assigning an int64_t* to
a long long* doesn't.
Modified by Philip Withnall <withnall@endlessm.com> to support Meson as
well as autotools.

The size of stat depends on various macros on Windows which leads to
the problem of size mismatches when glib is built with a different configuration
than a program using it.
For example the autotools build defaults to _FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 and a program
not defining _FILE_OFFSET_BITS will allocate a too small struct on the stack,
leading to stack corruption when glib writes to it.
To make the size the user sees always match the default mingw build define GStatBuf
as _stat64 (same as _FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64) under mingw+64bit.
In file gio/gtestdbus.c, function watch_parent, there is a loop which
waits for commands sent from the parent process and kills all processes
recorded in 'pids_to_kill' array on parent process exit. The detection
of parent process exit is done by calling g_poll and checking whether
the returned event is G_IO_HUP. However, 'revents' is a bit mask, and
we should use a bitwise-AND check instead of the equality check here.
It seems to work fine on Linux, but it fails on FreeBSD because the
g_poll returns both G_IO_IN and G_IO_HUP on pipe close. This means the
watcher process continues waiting for commands after the parent process
exit, and g_io_channel_read_line returns G_IO_STATUS_EOF with 'command'
set to NULL. Then the watcher process crashes with segfault when calling
sscanf because 'command' is NULL. Since the test result is already
reported by the parent process as 'OK', this kind of crash is likely to
be unnoticed unless someone checks dmesg messages after the test:

If the watcher process crashes before killing the dbus-daemon process
spawned by the parent process, the dbus-daemon process will keep running
after all tests complete. Due to the implementation of 'communicate'
function in Python subprocess, it causes meson to crash. 'communicate'
assumes the stdout and stderr pipes are closed when the child process
exits, but it is not true if processes forked by the child process
doesn't exit. It causes Python subprocess 'communicate' function to
block on the call to poll until the timeout expires even if the test
finishes in a few seconds. Meson assumes the timeout exception always
means the test is still running. It calls 'communicate' again and
crashes because pipes no longer exist.

Previously, glocalfile.c would not set file system metadata for
the free/used key for file systems which reported 0 free space. This is
because some file systems don’t set that metadata when you call
statfs(), so we can’t reliably report it. However, some do, and they
can legitimately set f_bavail and f_bfree to 0 if the file system is
full.
In order to avoid that, always set the file system metadata unless the
file system is FUSE or ncpfs.
This is a partial revert of commit 0b9f24c1e1: instead of the changes
made in that commit, I think we should maintain a blacklist of file
systems which are known to not correctly report free space.

Similar issue was fixed with commit f929d148, but it's happening again.
Define G_MESSAGES_DEBUG=all when running CI to ensure we won't regress
anymore.
g_object_bind_property() (transfer none) returns a GBinding with an existing internal
reference which is active as long as the "binding" is. This allows to optionally use
the binding without any memory management, as it will remove itself when it is no longer
needed.
There are currently three ways to remove the "binding" and as a result the reference:
1) Either the source or target dies and we get notified by a weakref callback
2) The user unrefs the binding until it is destroyed (which is semi-legal,
but worked and is used in the test suite)
3) The user calls g_binding_unbind()
In case (3) the problem was that it always calls unref even if the "binding" is already
gone, leading to crashes when called from bindings multiple times.
In #1373 and !197 it was noticed that a function always unrefs which would be a
"transfer full" annotation, but the problem here is that it should only remove the
ref when removing the "binding" and the annotation should stay "transfer none".
As a side effect of this fix it is now also possible to call g_binding_unbind() multiple
times where every call after the first is a no-op.
This also adds explicit tests for case (1) and (3) - only case (3) is affected by this change.
In order to determine whether to trash a file to the home directory, we
compare its st_dev to our home directory's st_dev field.
This is the wrong thing to do on overlayfs when deleting files, because
st_dev contains the ID of the filesystem providing the file (which can
be the lower or upper filesystem), but directories always return the ID
of the overlayfs. Thus the comparison fails and we are unable to trash
the file.
Fix this by checking st_dev of the parent directory when we are deleting
a file.
Also adjust `test_trash_not_supported` for this - make its st_dev check
look at the parent directory's `st_dev` rather than the temporary file's
own.
Fixes#1027.
The documentation was unclear about what error codes would be returned
on attempting to open an empty or corrupt GVDB file. Previous versions
of the documentation incorrectly said that corrupt GVDB files were
considered equivalent to empty ones.
A recent commit has clarified the documentation to include its error
handling behaviour.
Update the two users of GVDB within GLib, GResource and GSettingsSource,
to follow this change, and add unit tests for them both.
Other users of the GVDB copylib will need to update their copy and make
appropriate changes if they have bugs in their handling of this
situation. dconf is one example of this. GVDB should be updated from
