As it turns out, we have examples of internal functions called
type_name_get_private() in the wild (especially among older libraries),
so we need to use a name for the per-instance private data getter
function that hopefully won't conflict with anything.
Started off by using the new instance private data macro, ended up
cleaning up the obscure, out of date, or simply broken concepts and
paragraphs.

Mark 'test', 'test-report', 'perf-report' and 'full-report' as PHONY in
docs/Makefile.am to prevent recursion of gtester into the documentation
subdirectories. Stop including Makefile.decl from these directories
since it is no longer necessary.
This will clear up the warnings about EXTRA_DIST being defined once in
gtk-doc.make and again in Makefile.decl.
Add a pair of functions for returning strings that don't need to be
freed. This is a bit of a hack but it will turn the 99% case of using
these functions from:
gchar *tmp;
tmp = g_test_build_filename (...);
fd = open (tmp, ...);
g_free (tmp);
to:
fd = open (g_test_get_filename (...), ...);
which is a pretty substantial win.

g_test_trap_fork() doesn't work on Windows and is potentially flaky on
unix anyway given the fork-but-don't-exec. Replace it with
g_test_trap_subprocess(), which re-spawns the same program with
arguments telling it to run a specific (otherwise-ignored) test case.
Make the existing g_test_trap_fork() unit tests be unix-only (they
never passed on Windows anyway), and add a parallel set of
g_test_trap_subprocess() tests.
Also fix the logic of gtestutils's "-p" argument (which is used by the
subprocess tests); previously if you had tests "/foo/bar" and
"/foo/bar/baz", and ran the test program with "-p /foo/bar/baz", it
would run "/foo/bar" too. Fix that and add tests.

Higher order languages with garbage collection can have issues releasing
a binding, as they do not control the last reference being dropped on
the binding, source, or target instances.

The way of getting the default value out of a GParamSpec is to allocate
a GValue, initialise it, then call g_param_spec_set_default() to set the
default value into that GValue.
This is exactly how we handle setting the default value for all of the
construct properties that were not explicitly passed to g_object_new().
Instead of doing the alloc/init/store on all construct properties on
every call to g_object_new(), we can cache those GValues in the private
data of the GParamSpec itself and reuse them.
This patch does not actually make that change to g_object_new() yet, but
it adds the API to GParamSpec so that a future patch to GObject can make
the change.

Since instance private data is now always at a constant offset to the
instance pointer, we can add an accessor for it that doesn't also
require an instance.
The idea is that classes can call this from their class_init and store
it in a file-scoped static variable and use that to find their private
data on instances very quickly, without a priv pointer.

This function takes a GIcon, serialises it and sets the resulting
GVariant as the "icon" attribute on the menu item. We will need to add
a patch to Gtk to actually consume this icon.
Also add G_MENU_ATTRIBUTE_ICON.

GBytesIcon is an icon that has a GBytes inside of it where the GBytes
contains some sort of encoded image in a widely-recognised file format.
Ideally this will be a PNG.
It implements GLoadableIcon, so GTK will already understand how to use
it, but we will add another patch there to make things more efficient.

Lots of people have variously asked for APIs like
g_variant_new_string_printf() in order to avoid having to use
g_strdup_printf(), create a GVariant using g_variant_new_string(), then
free the temporary string.
Instead of supporting that, plus a million other potential cases,
introduce g_variant_new_take_string() as a compromise.
It's not possible to write:
v = g_variant_new_take_string (g_strdup_printf (....));
to get the desired result and avoid the extra copies. In addition, it
works with many other functions.

This feature is intended for clients that want to signal a desktop shell
their busy state, for instance because a long-running operation is
pending.
The API works in a similar way to g_application_hold and
g_application_release: applications can call g_application_mark_busy()
to increase a counter that will keep the application marked as busy
until the counter reaches zero again.
The busy state is exported read-only on the org.gtk.Application interface
for clients to use.

Expand and formalise the syntax for detailed action names, adding a
well-documented (and tested) public parser API for them.
Port the only GLib-based user of detailed action names to the new API:
g_menu_item_set_detailed_action(). The users in Gtk+ will also be
ported soon.

Add GSimpleProxyResolver, for letting people do static proxy
resolution, and to use as a base class for other resolvers (such as
GProxyResolverGnome).
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=691105
Add a proxy-resolver property to GSocketClient, to allow overriding
proxy resolution in situations where you need to force a particular
proxy rather than using the system defaults.

There are two benefits to this:
1) We can centralize any operating system specific knowledge of
close-vs-EINTR handling. For example, while on Linux we should never
retry, if someone cared enough later about HP-UX, they could come by
and change this one spot.
2) For places that do care about the return value and want to provide
the caller with a GError, this function makes it convenient to do so.
Note that gspawn.c had an incorrect EINTR loop-retry around close().

Adding file descriptors to a GSource provides similar functionality to
the old g_source_add_poll() API with two main differences.
First: the list of handles is managed internally and therefore users are
prevented from randomly modifying the ->events field. This prepares us
for an epoll future where changing the event mask is a syscall.
Second: keeping the list internally allows us to check the ->revents for
events for ourselves, allowing the source to skip implementing
check/prepare. This also prepares us for the future by allowing an
implementation that doesn't need to iterate over all of the sources
every time.
