libgamin was last released in 2007 and is dead
[upstream](https://gitlab.gnome.org/Archive/gamin). Distributions may
still ship it (although Fedora no longer does), but we want people to
use inotify on Linux since it’s actively supported.
BSDs use kqueue. Windows uses win32filemonitor.
FAM might still be used on some commercial Unix distributions, but there
are no contributors from those distributions, and certainly no CI for
them to prevent regressions.

Remove the final few references.

This allows the controller to explicitly be removed from the bus, in a
way that allows the caller to synchronise with it and know that all
other references to the controller should have been dropped (i.e. after
this method returns, there should be no in-flight D-Bus calls still
holding a reference to the object).
This is needed to be able to guarantee finalisation of the controller in
unit tests (and comparable real-world situations).

The resources data is generated for both GCC and MSVC toolchains, even
though we know beforehand which toolchain we're going to compile it for.
By dropping the data duplication we make the generated resources file
faster to compile, especially when dealing with large embedded data,
instead of relying on the C pre-processor to walk the whole file and
discard the branch we're not using.
When working with storage (especially GInputStream or GOutputStream) it
is preferred to use page-aligned buffers so that the operating system
can do page-mapping tricks as the operation passes through the kernel.
Another use case is allocating memory used for vectorised operations,
which must be aligned to specific boundaries.
POSIX and Windows, as well as the C11 specification, provide this kind
of allocator functions, and GLib already makes use of it inside GSlice.
It would be convenient to have a public, portable wrapper that other
projects can use.

If `GDebugControllerDBus` remains as the only, or default,
implementation of `GDebugController`, `dup_default()` cannot work.
`GDebugControllerDBus` requires a `GDBusConnection` at construction
time, which the `GIOModule` construction code can’t provide it.
Either we use a default D-Bus connection (but which one? and how would
it be changed by the user later if it was the wrong one?), or delegate
singleton handling of the `GDebugController` to the user.
The latter approach seems more flexible.

Much like GBindingGroup, the GSignalGroup object allows you to connect many
signal connections for an object and connect/disconnect/block/unblock them
as a group.
This is useful when using many connections on an object to ensure that they
are properly removed when changing state or disposing a third-party
object.
This has been used for years in various GNOME projects and makes sense to
have upstream instead of multiple copies.
Originally, GBindingGroup started with Builder as a way to simplify all
of the third-degree object bindings necessary around Model-Controller
objects such as TextBuffer/TextView.
Over time, it has grown to be useful in a number of scenarios outside
of Builder and has been copied into a number of projects such as GNOME
Text Editor, GtkSourceView, libdazzle, and more.
It makes sense at this point to unify on a single implementation and
include that upstream in GObject directly alongside GBinding.
This is intended to provide a uniform interface for controlling whether
the debug output from an application (or service) is emitted, typically
to journald, but actually to wherever the application chooses to output
it.
The main implementation of `GDebugController` is `GDebugControllerDBus`,
which is intended to be used on Linux. Other implementations may be
added in future for other platforms, or larger applications may want to
provide their own implementation which integrates with their ecosystem.
The `GDebugControllerDBus` implementation exposes a D-Bus interface at
`/org/gtk/Debugging` with a method to enable or disable debug
output at runtime.
This could be used by external harnesses, such as GNOME Builder or
systemd, to give a uniform way to get debug output from an application.

Fixes: #1190
This is an API analogue of the G_MESSAGES_DEBUG environment variable. It
is intended to be exposed outside applications (for example, as a D-Bus
interface — see follow-up commits) so that there is a uniform interface
for controlling the debug output of an application.

This function creates a new hash table, but inherits the functions used
for the hash, comparison, and key/value memory management functions from
another hash table.
The primary use case is to implement a behaviour where you maintain a
hash table by regenerating it, letting the values not migrated be freed.
See the following pseudo code:
```
GHashTable *ht;
init(GList *resources) {
ht = g_hash_table_new (g_str_hash, g_str_equal, g_free, g_free);
for (r in resources)
g_hash_table_insert (ht, strdup (resource_get_key (r)), create_value (r));
}
update(GList *resources) {
GHashTable *new_ht = g_hash_table_new_similar (ht);
for (r in resources) {
if (g_hash_table_steal_extended (ht, resource_get_key (r), &key, &value))
g_hash_table_insert (new_ht, key, value);
else
g_hash_table_insert (new_ht, strdup (resource_get_key (r)), create_value (r));
}
g_hash_table_unref (ht);
ht = new_ht;
}
```

Use g_macro__has_attribute to detect it instead of

Forming the g_test_skip() message from printf-style arguments seems

g_test_incomplete() is mechanically almost equivalent to g_test_skip()

g_source_set_name duplicates the string, and this is
showing up as one of the more prominent sources of strdups
in GTK profiles, despite all the names we use being literals.
Add a variant that avoids the overhead.
This should maintain equivalent functionality, apart from that now you
have to pass `--force-fallback-for libpcre` to `meson configure` in
order to use the subproject; rather than specifying
`-Dinternal_pcre=true` to use the internal copy.

On Unix platforms, wait() and friends yield an integer that encodes
how the process exited. Confusingly, this is usually not the same as
the integer passed to exit() or returned from main(): conceptually it's
an integer encoding of this tagged union:
enum { EXITED, SIGNALLED, ... } tag;
union {
int exit_status; /* if EXITED */
struct {
int terminating_signal;
bool core_dumped;
} terminating_signal; /* if SIGNALLED */
...
} detail;
Meanwhile, on Windows, wait statuses and exit statuses are
interchangeable.
I find that it's clearer what is going on if we are consistent about
referring to the result of wait() as a "wait status", and the value
passed to exit() as an "exit status".
GSubprocess already gets this right: g_subprocess_get_status() returns
the wait status, while g_subprocess_get_exit_status() genuinely returns
the exit status. However, the GSpawn family of APIs has tended to
conflate the two.
Confusingly, g_spawn_check_exit_status() has always checked a wait
status, and it would not be correct to pass an exit status to it; so
let's deprecate it in favour of g_spawn_check_wait_status(), which
does the same thing that g_spawn_check_exit_status() always did.
Code that needs backwards-compatibility with older GLib can use:
#if !GLIB_CHECK_VERSION(2, 69, 0)
#define g_spawn_check_wait_status(x) (g_spawn_check_exit_status (x))
#endif

* `not-valid-after`
* `subject-name`
* `issuer-name`

It is cleaner to define glib_typeof() in a header included after
gversionmacros.h so we can use GLIB_VERSION_MIN_REQUIRED directly
instead of doing it everywhere glib_typeof() is used.
This allows introspection to properly handle them as GPatternSpec
methods, as per this deprecate g_pattern_match() and
g_pattern_match_string() functions.
Fall back to compiler version checks only when `__has_attribute()` is not
available.
clang-cl doesn't define `__GNU__`, but still accepts attributes. This change
gets rid of a lot of warnings when building GLib with clang-cl. For GCC and
non-cl Clang nothing should change.
This is basically glnx_steal_fd() from libglnx. We already had two
private implementations of it in GLib.

This will replace the existing `g_memdup()` function, which has an
unavoidable security flaw of taking its `byte_size` argument as a
`guint` rather than as a `gsize`. Most callers will expect it to be a
`gsize`, and may pass in large values which could silently be truncated,
resulting in an undersize allocation compared to what the caller
expects.
This could lead to a classic buffer overflow vulnerability for many
callers of `g_memdup()`.
`g_memdup2()`, in comparison, takes its `byte_size` as a `gsize`.

That changes the return type of functions like g_object_ref() that can
break C++ applications like Webkit. Note that it is not an ABI break.
It must thus be opt-in the same way we did when adding this to
g_object_ref() for GNU C compilers in the first place. Unfortunately it
cannot be done directly in gmacros.h because GLIB_VERSION_2_68 is not
defined there, and gversionmacros.h cannot be included there because
there is some strict ordering in which those headers must be included.
This means that applications that does not define
GLIB_VERSION_MIN_REQUIRED will still get an API break, so we encourage
them to declare their minimum requirement to avoir such issues in the
future too.
I found myself wanting to know the test that is currently being run,
where e.g. __func__ would be inconvenient to use, because e.g. the place
the string was needed was not in the test case function. Using __func__
also relies on the test function itself containing the whole path, while
loosing the "/" information that is part of the test path.
These two APIs are useful to publish an object which path content is not
controlled (e.g. dynamically built or coming from external source).
