On Visual Studio, Meson builds modules as xxxx.dll, not libxxxx.dll when
xxxx is specified as the name for the shared_module() build directive.
This means that in the test programs if we expect for libxxxx for the
module name, the test will fail as there is no libxxxx.dll but there is
xxxx.dll. This makes the test program look for the module files
correctly.
The g_creat() call was done in *nix style in regards to the mode parameter,
which the Windows CRT isn't going to understand (nor like, on newer CRTs).
Update the program such that it will pass, by using Windows-style
permission mode parameters for g_creat(), on Windows.
On Windows, everything is assumed as UTF-8 in g_get_filename_charsets(),
so setting G_FILENAME_ENCODING envvar has no effect, so we can just skip
the test on g_get_filename_charsets() where we try to influence it by
setting the G_FILENAME_ENCODING envvar.
This makes use of the string we now have from glib-private.h in the
last commit so that setlocale() sets the default system locale
correctly and therefore show the translated messages properly.
Fixes issue #1169.
On Windows, in particular the CRTs on and after Visual Studio 2012, it
is not enough just to do setlocale (LC_ALL, "") to set the default
system locale, which results in the tools that use the translated
messages to show unreadable messages when running the commmand line
tools.
This adds an entry in glib-private.h.in which denotes the appropriate
string to use for setlocale() to set the default system locale by
setting it to ".ACP" if we are building on Windows and "" for
other systems (as we are doing now).
The tools in gio/ will be updated in the next commit to make use of this
entry so that the translated messages can be shown correctly.
From grefcount.h, in order to disable warnings when G_DISABLE_CHECKS is
defined, we need to make use of the GCC-isque-only __extension__ for it
to work. This means that in the saturation tests, we can only expect no
warnings to show if we are building on GCC-isque compilers with
G_DISABLE_CHECKS defined.
This will fix the refcount-macro test on Visual Studio builds at least.
Using the generic marshaller has drawbacks beyond performance. One such
drawback is that it breaks the stack unwinding from the Linux kernel due
to having unsufficient data to walk past ffi_call_unixt64. That means that
performance profiling by application developers looks grouped among
seemingly unrelated code paths.
While we can't fix the kernel unwinding here, we can provide proper
c_marshallers and va_marshallers for objects within Gio so that
performance profiling of applications is more reliable.
Related to GNOME/Initiatives#10
If c_marshaller is provided during g_signal_new() registration, the
automatic va_marshaller will not be set. If we leave the c_marshaller as
NULL in the simple cases, both a c_marshaller and va_marshaller will be
set for us.
This is particularly helpful when dealing with stack traces from Linux
perf, which often cannot unwind the stack beyond the ffi_call_unix64
stack-frame on x86_64.

If we specify a c_marshaller, g_signal_newv() will never assign an
va_marshaller automatically. So either use NULL (for simple cases), or
specify both to avoid the generic performance penalty.
This ensures that D-Bus connections established with unix:dir and
unix:path addresses actually work properly. Previously, we only tested
unix:tmpdir and TCP addresses.
This is not going to have much any effect currently since stop() just
disconnects a signal handler (that is going to be disconnected in
finalize anyway) and stops the socket service (that is going to be
destroyed in finalize), but it makes sense to do here for robustness.
unix:dir= addresses are exactly the same as unix:tmpdir= addresses,
already supported by GDBus, except they forbid use of abstract sockets.
This is convenient for situations where abstract sockets are
impermissible, such as when a D-Bus client inside a network namespace
needs to connect to a server running in a different network namespace.
An abstract socket cannot be shared between two processes in different
network namespaces.
Applications could use unix:path= addresses instead, so this is only a
convenience, but there's no good reason not to support unix:dir=.
Currently it is not supported simply because unix:dir= is a relatively
recent addition to the D-Bus spec.
