This will require distributions to ensure they pass

about how Meson treats `localstatedir` differently from most other `dir`

It’s unlikely that the machine ID will be invalid (it’s system
configuration), but it would be helpful to not propagate invalid IDs
further, since a lot of things rely on it.
It’s not easy to test this (it requires factoring out the code so it can
be used from a test program, or allowing it to load a machine ID from a
custom path), so I haven’t added unit tests. I’ve tested manually by
overriding the loaded machine ID.

Suppose we are sending a 5K message with fds (so data->blob points
to 5K of data, data->blob_size is 5K, and fd_list is non-null), but
the kernel is only accepting up to 4K with each sendmsg().
The first time we get into write_message_continue_writing(),
data->total_written will be 0. We will try to write the entire message,
plus the attached file descriptors; or if the stream doesn't support
fd-passing (not a socket), we need to fail with
"Tried sending a file descriptor on unsupported stream".
Because the kernel didn't accept the entire message, we come back in.
This time, we won't enter the Unix-specific block that involves sending
fds, because now data->total_written is 4K, and it would be wrong to try
to attach the same fds again. However, we also need to avoid failing
with "Tried sending a file descriptor on unsupported stream" in this
case. We just want to write out the data of the rest of the message,
starting from (blob + total_written) (in this exaple, the last 1K).

using the latest git version of `codespell` as per [these

Then I manually checked each change using `git add -p`, made a few
manual fixups and dropped a load of incorrect changes.
There are still some outdated or loaded terms used in GLib, mostly to do
with git branch terminology. They will need to be changed later as part
of a wider migration of git terminology.

When the _g_dbus_worker_flush_sync() schedules the 'data' and releases
the worker->write_lock, it is possible for the GDBus worker thread thread
to finish the D-Bus call and acquire the worker->write_lock before
the _g_dbus_worker_flush_sync() re-acquires it in the if (data != NULL) body.
When that happens, the ostream_flush_cb() increases the worker->write_num_messages_flushed
and then releases the worker->write_lock. The write lock is reacquired by
the _g_dbus_worker_flush_sync(), which sees that the while condition is satisfied,
thus it doesn't enter the loop body and immediately clears the data members and
frees the data structure itself. The ostream_flush_cb() is still ongoing, possibly
inside flush_data_list_complete(), where it accesses the FlushData, which can be
in any stage of being freed.
Instead, add an explicit boolean flag indicating when the flush is truly finished.
Closes#1896
This commit changes a comment in _g_dbus_worker_do_read_cb() to be
slightly more useful. At least in my experience debugging an
intermittent unit test failure in another project, this failure
condition occurred because although g_test_dbus_down() ensures that the
session GDBusConnection has exit-on-close set to FALSE before killing
its dbus-daemon, there was still a GDBusConnection on the system bus
which hit this failed read code path, because we had
DBUS_SYSTEM_BUS_ADDRESS set to the address of the #GTestDBus daemon, to
appease libudisks.
Also, make a few other minor improvements to the docs.
Add g_steal_pointer() and g_clear_object() calls in various places to
clarify the ownership transfers for GDBusMessage instances, in a bid to
understand what’s going on in this code and to try to find a
use-after-finalize problem.
This introduces no functional changes, but hopefully makes the code a
little clearer.

ostream_flush_cb() was calling flush_data_list_complete() with a single
element list with an item that had already been freed. This was observed
on OpenBSD where memory is overwritten with 0xdf during free():
error=0x0) at ../glib-2.58.3/gio/gdbusprivate.c:1156
1156 g_mutex_lock (&f->mutex);
(gdb) p /x *f
$74 = {mutex = {p = 0xdfdfdfdfdfdfdfdf, i = {0xdfdfdfdf, 0xdfdfdfdf}},
cond = { p = 0xdfdfdfdfdfdfdfdf, i = {0xdfdfdfdf, 0xdfdfdfdf}},
number_to_wait_for = 0xdfdfdfdfdfdfdfdf, error = 0x0}
This happened because the thread freeing the element didn't properly wait
for the asynchronous flush operation to finish.

This is a bit of breaking change:
After this commit the apps relying of win32 dbus autolaunching,
need to install gdbus.exe alongside with libgio-2.0-0.dll.
A new command for gdbus tool is used for running server:
gdbus.exe _win32_run_session_bus
To implement it gdbus.exe uses the same exported function
g_win32_run_session_bus that earlier was used by rundll.
So (private) ABI was not changed.
It runs the bus syncronously, exiting after inactivity timeout -
all exactly like it was runed earlier with the help of rundll32.
While private exported function may have _some_
version compatibility issues between gdbus.exe and libgio-2.0-0.dll
compiling dbus server registration logic directly into gdbus.exe
can lead to _more hidden and more complex_ compatibility issues
since the names and behaviour of syncronization objects
used to publish server address would be required compatible between
gdbus.exe and libgio-2.0-0.dll.
So using "private" exported function to call
looks like more safe behaviour.
gdbus.exe binary was selected for this task since
it has corresponding name and at least for msys2 is shippied
in same package with libgio-2.0-0.dll
turn_off_the_starting_cursor function is also kept as is,
however it is not obvious if it is still needed
(by now I failed reproducing original issue).
Explicit g_warnings added to help with possible
problematic cases for absent or incompatible gdbus.exe
Mainloop is created after successful daemon creation
Before this change the function leaked mainloop on daemon creation fail
This allows referencig them from more than single .c file.
Implementation moved without changes
from gdbusaddress.c to gdbusprivate.c
g_win32_run_session_bus signature also kept, so ABI unchanged.
512e9b3b34 added a call to schedule_pending_close() in the read
callback after the reference to the worker is already gone. In case this was
the last reference to the worker this resulted in a use-after-free.
6f3d57d2ee made this more likely to happen because on connection close
the worker cancel action is now async while the reference to the worker
gets dropped right away.
Move the call to schedule_pending_close() before the unref.
Fixes#1686
All those logging functions already add a newline to any message they

This will help us break generic GType deadlocks between people using
GDBus in different threads (which is supported), not just by GType
usage in the GDBus thread.
This should fix the common cases we're seeing in the wild, although I
have some lingering concerns that if someone e.g. referenced
e.g. `G_TYPE_DBUS_AUTH_MECHANISM_SHA1` etc. we'd need to add those
too.

If we have an input parameter (or return value) we need to use (nullable).
However, if it is an (inout) or (out) parameter, (optional) is sufficient.
It looks like (nullable) could be used for everything according to the
Annotation documentation, but (optional) is more specific.
In Windows development environments that have it, <unistd.h> is mostly
just a wrapper around several other native headers (in particular,
<io.h>, which contains read(), close(), etc, and <process.h>, which
contains getpid()). But given that some Windows dev environments don't
have <unistd.h>, everything that uses those functions on Windows
already needed to include the correct Windows header as well, and so
there is never any point to including <unistd.h> on Windows.
Also, remove some <unistd.h> includes (and a few others) that were
unnecessary even on unix.

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().

This makes it easier to schedule a flush, by putting it on the same code
path as writing and closing.
Also change message_written to expect the lock to be held, since all
that's left in that function either wants to hold the lock or doesn't
care, and it's silly to release the lock immediately before calling
message_written, which just takes it again.

If the user calls flush_sync() with no messages in the queue, but an
async write call pending, then we ought to flush after that async write
returns (although we don't currently do that). If it was an async close
or flush that was pending, there's no need to flush (again) afterwards.
So, we need to distinguish.

My previous fix for GNOME#662100 was incomplete: it seems that with some
timings, the stream can be closed with an async read in-flight. This
can make the read fail immediately with G_IO_ERROR_CLOSED instead of
becoming cancelled.
This happens reliably on an embedded device, and rarely on my laptop;
repeating the test 100 times in quick succession reliably reproduces
the bug on my laptop.
It seems as though what we really want is to ignore read errors, once
we've established that we want to close the connection anyway - this
means that after asking to close, you're immune to exit-on-close,
which seems like a good rule.
An additional subtlety is that continuing to read after we know we
want to close is still required, otherwise we'll never emit ::closed.
