On CHERI-enabled systems we use uintptr_t as the underlying storage for
GType and therefore casting to gsize strips the upper bits from a pointer.
Fix this by casting via uintptr_t instead and introduce a new set of
macros to convert between GType and pointers.
It needs to be in a separate page because there isn’t actually a
`GFileAttribute` type.

This might not work, as `GContentType` isn’t actually a defined type

Currently, the introspection data for GLib and its sub-libraries is
generated by gobject-introspection, to avoid the cyclic dependency
between the two projects.
Since gobject-introspection is generally available on installed systems,
we can check for its presence, and generate the introspection data
directly from GLib.
This does introduce a cyclic dependency, which is why it's possible to
build GLib without introspection, then build gobject-introspection, and
finally rebuild GLib.
By having introspection data available during the GLib build, we can do
things like generating documentation; validating newly added API; and
close the loop between adding new API and it becoming available to non-C
consumers of the C ABI (i.e. language bindings).
If `update-desktop-database` or `update-mime-database` are not
installed, there are a few `GAppInfo` methods for modifying file
associations which will print a `g_warning()` when called. Something
like:
```
GLib-GIO-FATAL-WARNING: Failed to execute child process ‘update-desktop-database’ (No such file or directory)
```
(Example: https://gitlab.gnome.org/zamaudio/glib/-/jobs/3190053)
This will cause the appinfo/associations test to fail, as warnings are
fatal.
If that’s going to happen, skip the test. We can’t hard-depend on these
tools as they are external to GLib and only needed for a few operations.
Instead we have a soft runtime dependency on them; that should be
reflected in the tests.

The C standard does not specify whether the underlying type of an enum
is signed or unsigned, and until C23 there was no way to control this
explicitly. GCC appears to make enums unsigned unless there is a
negative value among cases of the enum, in which case it becomes signed.
MSCV appears to make enums signed by default.
A bitfield of an enum type (which is not specificied in the C standard
either) behaves as if it was an instance of a numeric type with a
reduced value range. Specifically, a 'signed int val : 2;' bitfield will
have the possible values of -2, -1, 0, and 1, with the usual wraparound
behavior for the values that don't fit (although this too is
implementation-defined).
This causes the following issue, if we have:
typedef enum
{
G_ZERO,
G_ONE,
G_TWO
} GFoo;
struct _GBar
{
GFoo foo : 2;
};
and then assign bar.foo = G_TWO and read it back, it will have the
expected value of 2 (aka G_TWO) on GCC, but a value of -2 (not matching
any of the enum variants) on MSVC.
There does not seem to be any way to influence signedness of an enum
prior to C23, nor is there a 'unsigned GFoo foo : 2;' syntax. The only
remaining options seems to be never using enums in bitfields, which is
what this change implements.

The Comment field provides a user-visible description of the app,
which usually contains generic words ("and", "or", "not", "is", ...)
that add noise when used for search.
It made some sense to match against the field as a fallback for
Keywords, before that key was well established. However that key
has been around for years now, so hopefully every app where additional
terms are helpful uses it by now.
With that, the downside of added noise outweighs the benefit, so
it's time to stop matching on comments.
When setting the file time using utimensat, don't ignore
microseconds for access/modify times. By doing that, they're preserved
when using g_file_info_set_modification_date_time and then setting the file's
attributes from it.

Commit 9e2ad88455 improved app search results by allowing to differentiate
their match_type: prefix match or substring match; while giving more priority
to prefix matches over substring matches, but only when they are in the same
match_category[1].
This was a step forward but, as outlined in #3082, still not enough to get
most relevant results first to the user, because apparently (and for the
specific case of desktop app searching) a prefix match in a lower category
is more relevant to the user than a substring match in a higher category.
So that's what this commit implements, i.e. it makes sure prefix matches
are still preferred over substring matches but this time not only when
in the same category but also across different categories.
[1] Match category is the Desktop file key where the match happened.

The `GTK_USE_PORTAL` environment variable has started to be misused by

I had thought that because `g_source_destroy()` was called for the two
sources (cancel and timeout) in the `GTask` finalize function for a
threaded resolver operation, that it would be fine to use a plain
pointer in the source callbacks to point to the `GTask`.
That turns out to not be true: because the source callbacks are executed
in the GLib worker thread, and the `GTask` can be finalized in another
thread, it’s possible for a source callback (e.g. `cancelled_cb()`) to
be scheduled in the worker thread, then for the `GTask` to be finalized,
and then the source callback to continue execution and find itself
doing a use-after-free.
Fix that by using a weak ref to the `GTask` in the source callbacks,
rather than a plain pointer.

It's not safe to use setlocale() to mutate the locale in a threaded
program. Lots of other tests still do this, and I'm not putting in the
effort to fix them comprehensively in the absense of actual failures on
CI, but I figured it'd be good to fix the tests that I was touching.
This definitely does not do anything on Linux. I bet it's not needed on
other platforms, either. It's unsafe and may crash; there is no safe way
to mutate the environment in threaded programs.
This is a copy of the existing test_l10n, modified to use LC_TIME
instead of LC_MESSAGES. It's not safe as each call to g_setenv() or
setlocale() could cause the test to crash; there is no safe way to
change a threaded process's environment, and a threaded process's locale
can only be safely changed using uselocale(), not with setlocale().
The calls to g_setenv() are definitely not needed on Linux. I wonder
whether removing these will break the test on other platforms?
The calls to setlocale() should be replaced by a dance of
uselocale() -> duplocale() -> newlocale() -> uselocale() on Linux. But
this is not portable and this is a cross-platform test. We would have to
make the test platform-specific to do this. macOS and at least FreeBSD
provide these functions via xlocale.h, but this isn't portable.
It's supposed to be possible to translate settings values using LC_TIME
rather than LC_MESSAGES to determine which translation to use, but
Sebastian Keller noticed that it's not working properly. I've
implemented his proposed solution, which is to actually temporarily
change LC_MESSAGES to match LC_TIME for just as long as necessary to
force gettext to use the desired message catalog.

Avoid generating more code than needed, so other than continuing using
the generic glib marshallers when possible, define once the custom ones
we need for each file we generate.
The marshallers are then re-used across all the interfaces defined
without duplicating the code size.
This is the same we're doing in code generated by glib-genmarshaller and
what gmarshal does internally.
Since the generated gdbus C code can be considered private too, this is
safe to do, and will allow faster access to GValue objects.
Get rid completely of the usage of the generic marshaller in gdbus
generated code, using instead specific marshallers.
Code is not yet optimized fully since we may still have duplicated
functions to be generated.

`GLocalFileStat` is a platform-specific abstraction around `struct stat`
or `struct statx`. If `struct statx` is available, it will use that by
preference as it has more features.
`glocalfileinfo.c` was, in some places, incorrectly accessing the fields
of `GLocalFileStat` directly rather than through its `_g_stat_*()`
getters. While it correctly accounted for the platform-specific
differences between `st_mtimensec` and `st_mtim.tv_nsec`, it hadn’t been
updated to deal with `stx_mtime`.
On Android, `st_mtimensec` is defined as a fallback for
`st_mtim.tv_nsec` (even though it doesn’t need to be). This caused GLib
to take the `st_mtimensec` code path rather than the `stx_mtime` code
path, and hence try to dereference `st_mtim` in a `struct statx`.
Fix that by correctly using the `_g_stat_*()` getters consistently.

Currently we require explicitly specifying the port when configuring a
proxy server, which is seriously weird. I take the fact that nobody
reported a bug until 2022 to indicate that almost nobody is using
proxies. Whatever. Let's assume that if no port is provided, the default
port for the protocol should be used instead.
For example, you can now specify in GNOME settings that your proxy server
is https://example.com and it will work. Previously, you had to write
https://example.com:443. Yuck!
This was originally reported as GProxyResolver bug, but nothing is
actually wrong there. It's actually GProxyAddressEnumerator that gets
tripped up by URLs returned by GProxyResolver without a default port.
This breaks GSocketClient.
Fixing this requires exposing GUri's _default_scheme_port() function to
GIO. I considered copy/pasting it since it's not very much code, but I
figure the private call mechanism is probably not too expensive, and I

In the typical `while (g_file_enumerator_next_file ())` patterns,
there is nothing much checking whether the operation was cancelled
