This was inconsistently handled before and only explicit unbinding or
finalizing the binding would've previously released the transform
function. If the source/target were finalized while more strong
references to the binding still existed then the transform function
would stay alive and only the binding itself would be deactivated.
Unbinding can happen from one thread while a property notification is
being handled concurrently in another one.
To solve this, introduce a reference counter for the transform function
that ensures that it always stays valid while in use and protect access
to the one stored inside the binding with the unbind mutex.
It's possible for g_binding_unbind() to be called at the same time as
one (or both) of source and target are being finalized. The resulting
unbinding needs to be protected with a mutex to ensure that it only
happens exactly once.
As the first reference is owned by both weak notifies and the caller of
g_object_bind_property(), additional indirections are needed to ensure that
unreffing the first reference after creation still unbinds the binding
as before. This seems to be a common code pattern and how this was
intended to be used, but is only safe in single-threaded contexts as it
relies on both the source and target object to be still alive.
Add a lot of comments to the code about all these dependencies and a
couple of assertions to ensure they hold valid.
Also document that inconsistent reference ownership handling of
g_binding_unbind() that makes it unfit for automatically generated
language bindings.

The problem occurs because we keep a pointer inside the allocated block,
instead of a pointer to the start of the block. This memory exists for
the lifetime of the application, so let's silence it.
This is probably abuse of VALGRIND_MALLOCLIKE_BLOCK(), which is really
intended for use in memory allocators, but gtype.c already uses it in
two other places, and it's a practical solution. I wrote another larger
fix for this issue that involves keeping an array of extra pointers when
running under valgrind. This is simpler.

Note we cannot use VALGRIND_FREELIKE_BLOCK() in freelist_free() because we
have not actually freed the FreeListNode and need to dereference it in
freelist_alloc() to decide whether to reuse the block. That would result
in a use-after-free warning before we would get a chance to call
VALGRIND_MALLOCLIKE_BLOCK() in the reuse path.
Also note that this free list only ever grows: it never shrinks for the
lifetime of the application, so nothing here will ever be truely freed,
although unused elements are eligible for reuse.

Half of the references to `init_state` in `gtype.c` already correctly
accessed it atomically, but a couple didn’t. Drop the `volatile`
qualifier from its declaration, as that’s not necessary for atomic
access.
Note that this is the `init_state` in `TypeData`, *not* the `init_state`
in `IFaceEntry`.

This is an API break, but it should not affect third party code since
that code should not be interacting with the `data` member in a way that

It’s possible that the variables here are only marked as volatile
because they’re arguments to `g_once_*()`. Those arguments will be
modified in a subsequent commit.

The previous code consumed a larger additional amount of stack space.
That is because it would allocate the temporary buffer for GValues on
the stack with "g_newa (GValue, 1)" and thus the required stack
space grew with the number of arguments. Granted, this is already
a variadic C function, so the caller already placed that many elements
on the stack. For example, on the stack there are the property names
and the pointers to the arguments, which should amount to roughly
O(n_args * 16) (on 64 bit, with pointers being 8 bytes large).
That is not bad, because it means in the previous version the stack space
would grow linear with the already used stack space. However, a GValue is
an additional 24 bytes (on 64 bit), which probably more than doubles the
required stack space. Let's avoid that, by allocating the temporary list
on the heap after a certain threshold. This probably more than doubles the
number of possible arguments before the stack overflows.
Also, previously the heap allocated "params" array only grew one element
per iteration. Of course, it is likely that libc anyway reallocates
the buffers by growing the space exponentially. So realloc(ptr, 1)
probably does not O() scale worse than doubling the buffer sizes ourselves.
However, it seems clearer to keep track of the allocated sizes ourself, and
only call realloc() when we determine that we are out of space.
Especially because we need to update the value pointers on reallocation.
Note that we now require a heap allocation both for the "params" and the
"values" list. Theoretically that could be combined by using one buffer
for both. But that would make the code more complicated.
Now we pre-allocate buffers for 16 elements on the stack. That
is (16 * (16 + 24) bytes (or 640 bytes) on the stack. I think that
is still acceptable.
Two out of three callers pass the count argument from a variable
of type guint. And the third is currently an always positive gint.
We should use the correct integer type that matches the type as it
used otherwise.

Add a test for a signal returning interface types, using
the generic marshaller. This will hopefully exercise newly
added code in value_from_ffi_type().
This tests the new functionality that
g_type_interface_instantiable_prerequisite
was added for.
Before the changes, this fails with
GObject-WARNING **: Unable to convert a value of type \
GObject to a value of type Foo
We do the same test with g_object_bind_property_with_closures
as well, to exercise g_cclosure_marshal_generic.
Use the new g_type_interface_instantiable_prerequisite() to check
compatibility for transform functions.
In particular, this allows interfaces (in my case GDK_TYPE_PAINTABLE) to
be transformed to/from any GObject type (in my case G_TYPE_OBJECT) using
the transform function registered to transform between any 2 objects
(g_value_object_transform_value() does a type check and uses NULL if the
types don't match).
And this in turn allows be to g_object_bind_property() a gobject-typed
generic property (GtkListItem::item) to a GtkImage::paintable.
Tests for the new functionality are included.
Use the newly added g_type_interface_instantiable_prerequisite() to
allow closure return values being interfaces by looking up the
instantiable type for the interface and using its GValue accessors.
This function returns the most specific instantiatable type
that is a prerequisite for a given interface.
This type is necessary in particular when dealing with GValues
because a GValue contains an instance of a type.
This commit includes tests for the new API.
Rather than using a mixture of ‘instantiable’ and ‘instantiatable’
everywhere, standardise on the term which is already in the public API.

g_has_typeof macro is wrongly in the public g_ namespace, internaly
symbols are usually in the glib_ namespace. This will also allow to
define glib_typeof differently on non-GNUC compilers (e.g. c++11
decltype).
commit 916297be79 added a hash table
to provide constant time lookups of signal handlers.
Unfortunately, that commit neglected to remove handlers from
g_signal_connect_object calls from the hash table that are
disconnected implicitly when the associated object goes away.
This commit addresses that bug by changing the closure invalidate
handler associated with the signal connection to properly remove the
handler from the hash table.
