Instead of replacing the slice allocator wholesale, we can start phasing
it out by having GTypeInstance use the system allocator on operating
systems where we can assume good performance profiles.
We cannot commit to fully gutting GSlice in the cases where we might
still need it, like the G(S)List allocator and small, similarly-sized
data structures.
The main user of GSlice is still GTypeInstance/GObject, and those have
moved out of the sweet spot of GSlice's performance envelove over the
years, with larger instance sizes and private data.

The validate() vfunc for GParamSpecParam returns FALSE for empty GValue,
which means the is_valid() vfunc should do the same.
This avoids a segfault when calling g_param_value_is_valid() on a
GParamSpecParam.

This goes undiagnosed under normal circumstances, but is a critical
warning (which is fatal by default) under G_ENABLE_DIAGNOSTIC. This is a
programming error, so we should only exercise it under
g_test_undefined(), and only in a test that is intentionally doing this
(as in the previous commit).

This was previously exercised (probably by mistake) in
gobject/tests/type.c, but without making any assertions about what

Those tools are not needed at runtime for typical applications,
distributions typically package them separately.
This makes `meson install --tag runtime` skip installation of those
tools. Omitting `--tag` argument will still install them, as well as
with `--tag bin,bin-devel`.

GCC isn't smart enough to recognise that the assertion on the size of
N_PROPERTIES also affects the assertion on the GParamSpec array access,
so we need to coalesce the two checks into one to avoid an array-bounds
compiler warning.
GParamSpec nicks and blurbs are effectively a deprecated feature,
or at least unused by most libraries these days. Since a number
of C libraries (i.e. GTK4) have started to null these out, annotate
them as `(nullable)` so bindings can do the same.
Closes#2719
All of these warnings indicate programmer error, so critical is most
appropriate here.
Exceptions: deprecation warnings are just warnings. Also, warnings that
are worded with uncertainty can remain warnings rather than criticals.
Cast checks are slow. We seem to have some rough consensus that they are
important for debug builds, but not for release builds. Problem is, very
few apps define G_DISABLE_CAST_CHECKS for release builds. Worse, it's
undocumented, so there's no way apps could even be expected to know
about it.
We can get the right default is almost all situations by making this
depend on the __OPTIMIZE__ preprocessor definition. This is a GCC-specific
thing, although Clang supports it too. If the compiler does not define
__OPTIMIZE__, then this commit does no harm: you can still use
G_DISABLE_CAST_CHECKS as before. When checking __OPTIMIZE__, we are
supposed to ensure our code has the same behavior as it would if we do
not, which will be true except in case the check fails (which is
programmer error).
Downside: this will not automatically do the right thing with -Og,
because __OPTIMIZE__ is always defined to 1. We don't want to disable
cast checks automatically if using -O0 or -Og. There's no way to
automatically fix this, but we can create an escape hatch by allowing
you to define G_DISABLE_CAST_CHECKS=0 to force-enable cast checks. In
practice, I don't think this matters much because -Og kinda failed:
GCC's man page says it should be a superior debugging experience to -O0,
but it optimizes variables away so it's definitely not.
Another downside: this is bad if you really *do* want cast checks in
release builds. The same solution applies: define
G_DISABLE_CAST_CHECKS=0 and you'll get your cast checks.
The prefix for GMarkupParseFlags enumeration members is G_MARKUP; this
means that G_MARKUP_PARSE_FLAGS_NONE gets split into
GLib.MarkupParseFlags.PARSE_FLAGS_NONE by the introspection scanner.
The `/*< nick=none >*/` trigraph attribute is a glib-mkenum thing, and
does not affect the introspection scanner; it would also only affect the
GEnumValue nickname, which is not used by language bindings to resolve
the name of the enumeration member. Plus, GMarkupParseFlags does not
have a corresponding GType anyway.
ginsttest-runner defaults to timing out each test after 5 minutes,
but gobject/tests/performance/performance.c defaults to running each
of 18 tests for 15 seconds. The result is close enough to 5 minutes
that the setup overhead is enough to make it time out.
We're only running these tests to prove that they still work, not to
get meaningful performance numbers, so cut them down to 1 second per
test-case (the result of which is that performance.c takes about a
minute).

In g_signal_parse_name we were looking up for the signal from the name
keeping the mutex locked, but we then retrieved and checked the node
data without keeping the lock, so with another thread potentially
changing that.
We used to perform unneeded lock/unlock dances to perform block, unblock
and disconnect actions, and these were potentially unsafe because we
might have looped in data that could be potentially be changed by other
threads.
We could have also done the same by saving the handlers ids in a
temporary array and eventually remove them, but I don't see a reason for
that since we can just keep all locked without the risk of creating
deadlocks.

We're calling g_object_notify so let's not make gobject to call it for
us.
This also allows to test that changing a property again doesn't lead to
dispatch properties being called.
This tests that we call a custom dispatch_properties_changed,
even in the absence of connected notify handlers. (A recent
optimization broke that and caused a regression in GTK).
When I optimized GObject to skip property notification
in some cases, I looked for whether the class has a
custom notify vfunc. I overlooked that that
dispatch_properties_changed can also be customized,
and if it is, we better not skip change notification.
This showed up as breakage in the adjustment tests
in the GTK testsuite.
Add tests in which `g_object_run_dispose()` is called on the source or target
of a `GBinding`. After commit a4fa456e67,
the target test caused a failed assertion in `g_weak_ref_set()` that was not
found by the existing tests. Commit 94ba14d542
weakens the assertion to allow the test to succeed.
See https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/glib/-/issues/2676
When weak references are being cleaned up, it is possible for the `qdata` for
both `quark_weak_locations` and `quark_weak_refs` to have been deallocated,
so that `g_datalist_id_get_data()` returns `NULL` for both. This happens
when `g_object_run_dispose()` is called for the target of a `GBinding`,
and is not an error.
See https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/glib/-/issues/2676
We should mention glib-mkenums in the documentation for
G_DEFINE_ENUM_TYPE and G_DEFINE_FLAGS_TYPE.
We should also mention the macros in the documentation for glib-mkenums.
This way, developers can choose the most appropriate tool for their use
case.
While you might want to use automated tools like glib-mkenums to
generate enumeration types for your library, it's often not entirely
necessary to complicate your build system in order to handle a couple of
enumerations with few values.
Just like we have G_DEFINE macros for object, interface, pointer, and
boxed types, we should provide macros for defining enum and flags types.
We can use pointer exchange now to avoid doing two operations to switch
to the new data pointer.
Since we're asserting in case of invalid data, we can just do this check
at later point, without involving any different behavior.
This changes in the unlikely case that G_DISABLE_ASSERT is defined, as in such
case we should undo the operation.
This makes calls to g_signal_connect_data() and g_signal_connect_object()
with default flags more self-documenting.

This makes code that sets no flags a bit more self-documenting:
using G_TYPE_FLAG_NONE makes it clearer that no special behaviour is
required than literal 0, and clearer that there is no weird casting
between types than (GTypeFlags) 0.
GTypeFlags and GTypeFundamentalFlags occupy the same namespace and the
same bitfield, so I intentionally haven't added
G_TYPE_FUNDAMENTAL_FLAGS_NONE.

Pass arguments to them so that they take minimal time. This will not
produce useful performance profiling results, but will smoketest that
the tests still run, don’t crash, and therefore probably aren’t
bitrotting too badly.
This is useful because a fair amount of work has gone into these
performance tests, and they’re useful every few years to analyse and
compare GObject performance. We don’t want them to bitrot between uses.

Coverity notices the `g_object_unref()` call in `g_object_notify()`, but
not the paired `g_object_ref()` call. It therefore incorrectly assumes
that every call to `g_object_notify()` frees the object. This causes a
lot (hundreds) of false positive reports about double-frees or
use-after-frees.
I can’t find a way to fix this using a model file, so the other options
are:
* Manually mark every report as a false positive and keep updating them
as the code changes over time. This would take a lot of maintainer
effort.
* Comment out the `g_object_ref()`/`g_object_unref()` calls when
running static analysis (but not in a normal production build). This
is ugly, but cheap and shouldn’t impact maintainability much.
So this commit implements option 2.

g_object_new_with_custom_constructor needs to handle
freezing notifications in the same way as
g_object_new_internal.
Fixing a bug pointed out by Christian Hergert.
The corner-case we are handling here is that
we don't freeze the notify queue in g_object_init
(because there's no custom ->notify vfunc, but
then we gain a notify handler during instance
init, and instance init also triggers a
notification. Handle this by jit freezing
notification in g_object_notify_by_spec_internal.
Note that this is bad code - instance init really
shouldn't be doing things like this.
Testcase included.
Fixes: #2665
We need to match the conditions in g_object_init
for when we already have a freeze. Without that,
we underflow the freeze count and trigger a
warning.

at construction time, with a custom constructor.
