When using the GLIB_VERSION_MAX_ALLOWED macro to define the upper bound
of allowed API the G_DEFINE_TYPE_EXTENDED starts warning about the newly
added g_type_class_adjust_private_offset() function; this effectively
introduces a run-time dependency on GLib 2.38 even if we don't use its
API explicitly.

As it turns out, we have examples of internal functions called
type_name_get_private() in the wild (especially among older libraries),
so we need to use a name for the per-instance private data getter
function that hopefully won't conflict with anything.
For static types, it should be possible to register a private data
structure right when we are registering the type, i.e. from the
get_type() implementation. By allowing this, we can take advantage of
the existing type definition macros to cut down the amount of code
necessary (as well as the knowledge baggage) when creating a new type.
The main issue with this new feature is that it cannot be mixed with the
old idiomatic way of adding private instance data by calling a function
in the middle of the class_init() implementation, as that imposes the
additional constraint of initializing the whole type hierarchy in order
to retrieve the offset of the private data in the GTypeInstance
allocation.
For this reason we are going to follow a two-step process; in the first
step, we are going to introduce the new (semi-private) API to register
the intent to add private instance data from within the get_type()
implementation, and hide it behind a macro; at the same time, the
G_DEFINE_TYPE_EXTENDED macro is going to be modified so that it will
register the private instance data if the macro was used, using a new
(semi-private) function as well. Once we have migrated all our code, we
will make the first new function perform the actual private data
registration, and turn the second new function into a no-op. This should
guarantee a transparent migration of existing code to the new idiomatic
form.

Since instance private data is now always at a constant offset to the
instance pointer, we can add an accessor for it that doesn't also
require an instance.
The idea is that classes can call this from their class_init and store
it in a file-scoped static variable and use that to find their private
data on instances very quickly, without a priv pointer.

Flags being used in the G_DEFINE_TYPE_EXTENDED sample was "0", so it
should expand to 0 as well, otherwise the compiler would bark with:
maman-bar.c: In function ‘maman_bar_get_type’:
maman-bar.c:36:53: error: ‘flags’ undeclared (first use in this function)
maman-bar.c:36:53: note: each undeclared identifier is reported only once for each function it appears in
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=697250
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.

This lets you cache type lookup information and then know when
the cache information is out of date. In particular, we want this
in order to be able to cache g_type_from_name() lookups in the Gtk+
theme machinery.

Move the guts of g_type_init() into a ctor and turn g_type_init() itself
into a do-nothing function.
g_type_init_with_debug_flags() now ignores its arguments, but it has
always been possible to achieve the same effect via environment
variables.

This avoids warnings when creating idiomatic value tables, like:
static const GTypeValueTable _clutter_shader_float_value_table = {
clutter_value_init_shader_float,
clutter_value_free_shader_float,
clutter_value_copy_shader_float,
clutter_value_peek_pointer,
"ip",
clutter_value_collect_shader_float,
"pp",
clutter_value_lcopy_shader_float
};
Because the strings are literals. And, really: nobody should be using
allocated values for the collection and lcopy strings.

Either g_type_register_static_simple (used by G_DEFINE_TYPE_EXTENDED)
and G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE use automatic variables for GTypeInfo and
GInterfaceInfo structs, while tutorials and source code often use
static variables. This commit consistently adopts the former method.

Some links were broken due to typos, because functionality was removed
in GLib 2.0 or for various other reasons. Fix up as many of them as is
reasonable.
This adds the two new functions g_type_add_class_private()
and g_type_class_get_private() and a convenience macro
for the getter G_TYPE_CLASS_GET_PRIVATE().
Tools like clang fail to recognize that stanzas like
g_return_if_fail (GTK_IS_FOO (w)) guarantee w != NULL. By minimally
rewriting the type-checking macros, we can avoid these false positives.

* gtype.h
* gtype.c: Revert my change from 2008-07-24. No G_TYPE_FORMAT is
needed. Just use G_GSIZE_FORMAT always when printing GType values.

2008-07-24 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
* gtype.h: Define G_TYPE_FORMAT as the printf format for a GType
value. Either G_GSIZE_FORMAT or "lu".
* gtype.c: Use it instead of the C99 zu.

Move some content for gobject-unused.sgml and cleared empty entries.
The remaining 4 ones should be checked by some else. If they are not
needed. The file can be removed.
