There is no reason to disable this linker flags, and we are not going to
add this option in our meson build system, so remove it from autotools
too to be on par. If anyone complains with a valid use-case we can add
them back.
Keeping -Bsymbolc for now because it is used for refdbg and Debian has a
package that build glib with that flag.

Add a test for monitoring an existing local file, with the
WATCH_HARD_LINKS flag specified. This would previously cause a crash;
now it doesn’t.
This test contains a FIXME where I suspect we should be getting some
additional file change notifications from changes made through the hard
link; this requires further follow up and probably further fixes to our
inotify backend.

Building against libmount installed into a non-default prefix wasn’t
working, as we were using #include <libmount/libmount.h> rather than
the correct #include <libmount.h> — all the mount.pc pkg-config files
set `Cflags: -I${includedir}/libmount`.
Fixing this while retaining the fallback support for versions of
libmount without a pkg-config file would have been tricky (we would need
to work out a suitable -I flag to set in LIBMOUNT_CFLAGS) to still be
able to use the correct #include path). Thankfully, libmount gained
pkg-config support a long time ago, so I think we can safely drop the
fallback code. In particular, Debian Jessie, Ubuntu Trusty, and CentOS 5
all ship a mount.pc file.

res_query() uses global state in the form of the struct __res_state
which contains the contents of resolv.conf (and other things). On Linux,
this state seems to be thread-local, so there is no problem. On OS X,
however, it is not, and hence multiple res_query() calls from parallel
threads will compete and return bogus results.
The fix for this is to use res_nquery(), introduced in BIND 8.2, which
takes an explicit state argument. This allows us to manually store the
state thread-locally. If res_nquery() isn’t available, we fall back to
res_query(). It should be available on OS X though. As a data point,
it’s available on Fedora 27.
There’s a slight complication in the fact that OS X requires the state
to be freed using res_ndestroy() rather than res_nclose(). Linux uses
res_nclose().
(See, for example, the NetBSD man page:
https://www.unix.com/man-page/netbsd/3/res_ninit/. The Linux one is
incomplete and not so useful:
http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man3/resolver.3.html.)
The new code will call res_ninit() once per res_nquery() task. This is
not optimal, but no worse than before — since res_query() was being
called in a worker thread, on Linux, it would implicitly initialise the
thread-local struct __res_state when it was called. We’ve essentially
just made that explicit. In practical terms, this means a
stat("/etc/resolv.conf") call per res_nquery() task.
In future, we could improve this by using an explicit thread pool with
some manually-created worker threads, each of which initialises a struct
__res_state on spawning, and only updates it on receiving
the #GResolver::reload signal.

The chmod of all the scripts we generate from a template via configure
is necessary because configure will not preserve the bits of the
template when generating a new file.
There's no explanation for it, and you have to hunt it down the commit
history. Since Meson does the right thing, we added the executable bit
on the templates, but we cannot remove the AC_CONFIG_COMMANDS macro from
the Autotools build without breaking it. Let's document this, to avoid
nasty surprises.
GLib makes various assumptions about aliasing throughout its codebase,
and compiling with -fstrict-aliasing has been demonstrated to cause
problems (for example, bug #791622). Explicitly disable strict aliasing

SystemTap tapsets are architecture-specific, as they include the full
path to the .so file for each probe they reference. Hence, we should
install them in an architecture-specific path, or multiarch systems will
suffer from collisions between them.
A better long-term solution, using $libdir rather than the
non-architecture-specific $datadir, is under discussion upstream:
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=20264; but this will do
for now.

It is outdated and no longer effectively used. It was originally in
place to prevent rebuilding generated files (from a tarball) if the
right build tools (awk, Perl, indent) were not available. However, we no
longer use indent, we have hard-required awk for a while, and the only
places the @REBUILD@ substitution was still used were for
glib-genmarshal, which has recently been rewritten in Python (so no
longer depends on whether Perl is available).
Drop the whole lot.

We're eventually going to drop Autotools, but in the meantime we should
probably use idiomatic options and reduce warnings.
GLib is pretty much already safe for subdir-objects to be enabled,
except in the GIO tests, where the build references files that are
generated in a different level. For that, we can use the same solution
employed by GTK+, and link the appropriate file in the right
sub-directory.

Instead of requiring --enable-compile-warnings or
--enable-compile-warnings=yes, allow any value which is not ‘no’. This
enables compile warnings for --enable-compile-warnings=maximum or
--enable-compile-warnings=error, which are common values for other GNOME
projects. While we don’t change our behaviour for [yes, maximum, error],
at least it means the warnings are enabled now, rather than disabled.

Python 2.7 is the last stable release of the 2.x series, as per PEP
404: http://legacy.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0404/
Python 2.7 is also 7 years old, and maintained until 2020.
We're in the process or rewriting other tools in Python to reduce the
number of dependencies of GLib.
Additionally, making glib-genmarshal a Python script reduces the
complexity when cross-compiling, as we don't need a native build to
generate the marshallers.

This adds support for Visual Studio 2017 by updating the autotools files for
copying and updating the Visual Studio 2010 project files.
Since the toolset version of Visual Studio 2017 is no longer in the form
of $(MSVC_VER_SHORT)0, we need to specify the full number, but this is a
rather simple change we have here. Note that Visual Studio 2017's CRT
aims to be compatible with the 2015's CRT, so it should be possible to
use 2017-compiled code with the 2015-compiled ones.
It was suggested that the project files be moved here as we don't actually
need to go two directory layers from $(srcroot), and would help us to
standardize on things in the future across the board.
So that we don't get "deprecation" (availability) warnings for
new functionality of GLib 2.51/2.52.

This is causing trouble with flatpaks because the org.gnome.Platform
runtime does not bundle libmount, while the org.gnome.Sdk does it.

until it can be properly reviewed by someone who knows those bits
better, probably Alex Larsson.

Talk to the journal ourselves using sendmsg() instead of linking
against libsystemd for sd_journal_sendv(). At the same time, we
can also avoid excessive copying.
The motivation for dropping the dependency is that we can
then use structured logging e.g. in a flatpak sandbox where
libsystemd may not be present in the runtime.
The code here is inspired by similar code in libvirt.
In parallel with g_log(), add a new structured logging API, based around
g_log_structured() and various helper functions which are exposed
publicly to allow programs to build their own logging policies easily,
without having to rewrite a lot of gmessages.c because it’s all
internal.
See the expanded documentation at the top of gmessages.c for some
rationale. See the g_log_structured() documentation for some example
code.
