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.

Move it to the struct docs, although again this is a little suspect
because there is actually no `GDBusAddress` struct/type.

This might not work, as `GContentType` isn’t actually a defined type
(content types are just strings). It would be a bit weird to create a
separate page for content types, though, as the functions handling them
are very method-like and feel like they should be grouped together like
methods of a class.

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.

Commit f6c40b1d fixed libelf detection on FreeBSD (where the library has
no pkg-config file and needs to be found via `find_library()`), but
broke `-Dlibelf=disabled` on Linux, as `get_option('libelf')` was no
longer checked.

Add a default modification timestamp flag to g_file_copy so that it
doesn't copy the modification time from the source file as it does by
default. Similarly to G_FILE_COPY_TARGET_DEFAULT_PERMS, this flag
overrides the G_FILE_COPY_ALL_METADATA flag.

There are some flavors of MIPS ABIs, such like r6 vs legacy,
nan2008 vs nan1985 etc.
The `cc -r` may not produce the correct elf binaries.
So let's skip this test for MIPS.
Many toolchain did not change the definition of NULL to avoid introducing
breaking changes in existing codebases. For example, on Windows NULL is
0 (int) regardless of the C++ standard in use.

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.
This corresponds to https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/-/merge_requests/6467
in GTK.

This triggered a warning from the CHERI compiler since the struct contains
a `void *` but `__attribute__((aligned(8))` reduced alignment to less than
the `void *` alignment (which is 16 for Arm Morello).

This should not result in any functional changes, but will eventually
allow glib to be functional on CHERI-enabled systems such as Morello.

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.
Fixes#3116
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.
They are shown below from top to lesser priority.

· Add a usage output that is printed when called with no argument
or with '--help' argument. This is helpful as it avoids having
to read the source code to know how to run the different options.
· Adds new '--should-show-only' option to 'search' command, to
better mimick the gnome-shell app search, by not returning
apps with NoDisplay=true.
Example for running a desktop app search with the new option from
inside the GLib build dir:
$ gio/tests/apps search --should-show-only settings
Make sure to fail consistently in case people created a GPropertyAction
with g_object_new() without passing a property name.
Bindings that construct objects with g_object_new() have no idea if a
property is mandatory.

This avoids a critical warning from trying to disconnect a signal
handler from a `NULL` object if `paction->object` is `NULL` for whatever
reason (see: the following commit).

The `GTK_USE_PORTAL` environment variable has started to be misused by
users, which is causing deployment issues (such as portal services
themselves ending up being forced to use portals, which is never going
to work).
Try and sidestep users’ broken configurations by renaming the
environment variable, and also separating it from the old GTK
environment variable, since the GLib one affects a lot more processes.
This environment variable is meant to be used for
debugging and development, and never in production.
GTK already renamed their environment variable in
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/-/merge_requests/4829, so keeping the
`GTK_USE_PORTAL` name in GLib doesn’t make sense anyway.
