Now that we require Meson 0.52 to build the doc, we can also pull
gtk-doc as subproject when missing from the system. This requires
to pull gtk-doc master because needed changes there haven't been release
yet.
This has the side effect of always rebuilding the doc at each build when
gtk_doc option is enabled (not by default). Most importantly, this will
enable doc check on our CI.
This reverts commit 398c048c66.
It got removed because it used to cause build issues, but now that we
have a CI let's hope it won't be a problem any more.
This complements the `--glib-min-required` argument, just like the
`GLIB_MIN_REQUIRED` and `GLIB_MAX_ALLOWED` preprocessor defines which
control access to APIs in C.
Currently, it doesn’t affect code generation at all. When we next change
code generation, we will need to gate any new API usage on this
argument.

This adds support for specifying multiple directories in the
GSETTINGS_SCHEMA_DIR environment variable by separating the values
using G_SEARCHPATH_SEPARATOR_S (colon on UNIX-like systems).
While programs could already register multiple custom GSettings schema
directories, it was not possible to achieve the same without writing
custom code, e.g. when using the gsettings command line tool.
Fixes#1998.
Currently the code generated by gdbus-codegen uses
G_DBUS_CALL_FLAGS_NONE in its D-Bus calls, which occur for each method
defined by the input XML, and for proxy_set_property functions. This
means that if the daemon which implements the methods checks for
G_DBUS_FLAGS_ALLOW_INTERACTIVE_AUTHORIZATION and only does interactive
authorization if that flag is present, users of the generated code have
no way to cause the daemon to use interactive authorization (e.g. polkit
dialogs).
If we simply changed the generated code to always use
G_DBUS_FLAGS_ALLOW_INTERACTIVE_AUTHORIZATION, its users would have no
way to disallow interactive authorization (except for manually calling
the D-Bus method themselves).
So instead, this commit adds a GDBusCallFlags argument to method call
functions. Since this is an API break which will require changes in
projects using gdbus-codegen code, the change is conditional on the
command line argument --glib-min-version having the value 2.64 or
higher.
The impetus for this change is that I'm changing accountsservice to
properly respect G_DBUS_FLAGS_ALLOW_INTERACTIVE_AUTHORIZATION, and
libaccountsservice uses generated code for D-Bus method calls. So
these changes will allow libaccountsservice to continue allowing
interactive authorization, and avoid breaking any users of it which
expect that. See
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/accountsservice/accountsservice/merge_requests/46
It might make sense to also let GDBusCallFlags be specified for property
set operations, but that is not needed in the case of accountsservice,
and would require significant work and breaking API in multiple places.
Similarly, the generated code currently hard codes -1 as the timeout
value when calling g_dbus_proxy_call*(). Add a timeout_msec argument so
the user of the generated code can specify the timeout as well.
Also, test this new API. In gio/tests/codegen.py we test that the new
arguments are generated if and only of --glib-min-version is used with a
value greater than or equal to 2.64, and in gio/tests/meson.build we
test that the generated code with the new API can be linked against.
The test_unix_fd_list() test also needed modification to continue
working now that we're using gdbus-test-codegen.c with code generated
with --glib-min-version=2.64 in one test.
Finally, update the docs for gdbus-codegen to explain the effect of
using --glib-min-version 2.64, both from this commit and from
"gdbus-codegen: Emit GUnixFDLists if an arg has type `h` w/
min-version".
This reverts commit 398c048c66.
It got removed because it used to cause build issues, but now that we
have a CI let's hope it won't be a problem any more.
This can be used by callers to opt-in to backwards-incompatible changes
to the behaviour or output of `gdbus-codegen` in future. This commit
doesn’t introduce any such changes, though.

Install a Vectored Exception Handler[0]. Its sole purpose is to catch
some exceptions (access violations, stack overflows, illegal
instructions and debug breaks - by default, but it can be made to catch
any exception for which a code is known) and run a debugger in response.
This allows W32 glib applications to be run without a debugger,
but at the same time allows a debugger to be attached in case
something happens.
The debugger is run with a new console, unless an environment variable
is set to allow it to inherit the console of the crashing process.
The short list of handleable exceptions is there to ensure that
this handler won't run a debugger to "handle" utility exceptions,
such as the one that is used to communicate thread names to a debugger.
The handler is installed to be called last, and shouldn't interfere
with any user-installed handlers.
There's nothing fancy about the way it runs a debugger (it doesn't even
support unicode in paths), and it deliberately avoids using glib code.
The handler will also print a bit of information about the exception
that it caught, and even more information for well-known exceptions,
such as access violation.
The whole scheme is similar to AeDebug[1] and, in fact, the signal-event
gdb command was originally implemented for this very purpose.

Add a new G_TEST_OPTIONS_ISOLATE_XDG_DIRS option for g_test_init() which
automatically creates a temporary set of XDG directories, and a

This is intended to better isolate unit tests from the user’s actual

code will need to be amended to correctly set the XDG_* environment

Previously, GVariant has allowed ‘arbitrary’ recursion on GVariantTypes,
but this isn’t really feasible. We have to deal with GVariants from
untrusted sources, and the nature of GVariantType means that another
level of recursion (and hence, for example, another stack frame in your
application) can be added with a single byte in a variant type signature
in the input. This gives malicious input sources far too much leverage
to cause deep stack recursion or massive memory allocations which can
DoS an application.
Limit recursion to 128 levels (which should be more than enough for
anyone™), document it and add a test. This is, handily, also the limit
of 64 applied by the D-Bus specification (§(Valid Signatures)), plus a
bit to allow wrapping of D-Bus messages in additional layers of
variants.

The X-Flatpak-RenamedFrom key is used in .desktop files to identify past
names for the desktop file. It is defined to be a list of strings.
However, there was previously no correct way to retrieve a list of
strings from the GKeyFile wrapped by GDesktopAppInfo, short of
re-parsing the file with GKeyFile.
Note that doing something like:
g_strsplit (g_desktop_app_info_get_string (...), ";", -1)
is not correct: the raw value "a\;b;" represents the one-element list
["a;b"], but g_key_file_get_string() rejects the sequence "\;", and so
g_desktop_app_info_get_string() returns NULL in this case. (Of course, a
.desktop file with a semicolon in its name is a pathological case.)
Add g_desktop_app_info_get_string_list(), a trivial wrapper around
g_key_file_get_string_list(), similar to g_desktop_app_info_get_string()
and co.
The change from g_key_file_free() to g_key_file_unref() in the test is
needed because g_key_file_free() clears the contents of the keyfile.
This is fine for all the fields which are eagerly loaded and copied into
GDesktopAppInfo, but not when we want to access arbitrary stuff from the
keyfile.
This is detected by Debian's Lintian tool, which suggests
"allows one to" as a replacement. I've rephrased the documentation
in question to avoid both of those.

this was recently remove from glib-networking.

The goal of this commit is to reduce differences between the autotools and meson build.
With autotools AC_FUNC_ALLOCA was used which defines HAVE_ALLOCA_H, HAVE_ALLOCA,
C_ALLOCA. meson tried to replicate that with has_function() but alloca can be a macro
and and is named _alloca under Windows. Since we require a working alloca anyway
and only need to know if the header exists replace AC_FUNC_ALLOCA with a simple
AC_CHECK_HEADERS.
There is still one user of HAVE_ALLOCA in the embedded gnulib, but since alloca is
always provided through galloca.h just force define HAVE_ALLOCA there and add a comment.
The docs were mentioning alloca as an example for cross compiling. Since that variable no
longer exists now replace it with another one.
They should either be generated at build time, or ignored completely,
depending on the presence of --[enable|disable]-man.

A lot of GLib APIs provide a string length and explicitly say that the strings
are not NUL terminated. For instance, parsing XML using GMarkupParser or
reading packed binary strings from mmapped data files.
The last part of the reference counting saga.
Now that we have:
- reference counter types
- reference counted allocations
we can finally add reference counted strings using reference counted
allocations to avoid creating a new String type, and reimplementing
every single string-based API.
GArcBox is the atomic reference counting version of GRcBox. Unlike
GRcBox, the reference acquisition and release on GArcBox are guaranteed
to be atomic, and thus they can be performed from different threads.
This is similar to Rust's Arc<Box<T>> combination of traits.
It is useful to provide a "reference counted allocation" API that can
add reference counting semantics to any memory allocation. This allows
turning data structures that usually are placed on the stack into memory
that can be placed on the heap without:
- adding a public reference count field
- implementing copy/free semantics
This mechanism is similar to Rust's Rc<Box<T>> combination of traits,
and uses a Valgrind-friendly overallocation mechanism to store the
reference count into a private data segment, like we do with GObject's
private instance data.
meson.build was already passing --rebuild-types option but not

outdated in Makefile.am and it's causing build issues when using the

building on linux.
Add an app-launching function which allows standard file descriptors
to be passed to the child process.
This will be used by gnome-shell to pass systemd journal descriptors
as stdout/stderr. gnome-shell's child_setup function can then be
eliminated, which will enable use of the posix_spawn optimized
gspawn codepath for desktop app launching.
Add a new process spawning function variant which allows the caller
to pass specific file descriptors for stdin, stdout and stderr.
It is otherwise identical to g_spawn_async_with_pipes.
Allow the same fd to be passed in multiple parameters. To make this
workable, the child process logic that closes the fd after the first time
it has been dup2'ed needed tweaking; we now just set those fds to be
closed upon exec using the CLOEXEC flag. Add a test for this case.
This will be used by gnome-shell to avoid performing equivalent
dup2 actions in a child_setup function. Dropping use of child_setup will
enable use of an upcoming optimized process spawning codepath.
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.

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.
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.
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.
