Presumably, the rationale for not storing the endianness is that
GVariant is a recursive type system, and in a sane format, endianness
only needs to be stored once per blob of data (once per D-Bus message,
once per file on disk, etc.).

This covers the str, double, int, int64 hash and equal functions, but not
anything that takes an "object", since the convention is that "object
methods" never accept NULL anyway.

Using g_int_hash, g_int_equal with keys like GINT_TO_POINTER (n) seems to
be a reasonably common GLib-novice mistake. It doesn't help that the
documentation for GHashFunc was ambiguous about this.

It's impossible to check this if the library user is using
g_type_register_static, but in that case their compiler should hopefully
warn about the truncation. This fixes it for G_DEFINE_TYPE and friends,
at least.

The copying of code from g_async_queue_new() to g_async_queue_new_full()
in ef08aa786b copied the setting of the
free function to NULL (instead of the one passed in by the user).
Fix that up so that the test passes again.

Make the options from an /etc/fstab entry available as public API -
this can be used to support options such as
comment=gvfs.name=Foo\040Bar
to e.g. set the name of an fstab mount in the UI to "Foo Bar".

This reverts commit c841c2ce3f.
This approach has been an unmitigated disaster. We're getting all sorts
of crashes due to functions that are returning NULL because they can't
find the schema for the default value. The people who get these crashes
are then confused about the root cause of the problem and waste a lot of
time trying to figure it out.
Until we find a better solution, we should go back to what we had
before.

The markup here was not only broken, it was also unnecessary,
since gtk-doc knows to apply <function></function> tags to things
that end with () already.
Add a little bit more room in the ABI for our synchronisation primatives
since we're going to need it when we add native implementations on
Linux.
Also: rename the pointer field and add /*< private >*/ annotations.
All locks are now zero-initialised, so we can drop the G_*_INIT macros
for them.
Adjust various users around GLib accordingly and change the docs.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=659866
Modify the POSIX implementation of the synchronisation primatives to use
the same ABI as Windows: one pointer for each type.
This frees us from having to #include <pthread.h> and avoids the problem
with pthread_rwlock_t not being defined under certain compiler defines.
A few more changes are expected to the ABI -- they will be committed
separately.

This commit moves GStaticPrivate, g_thread_foreach and all
related functions and variables to gthread-deprecated.c. We
introduce some internal API to make this possible.
g_thread_foreach is not a very useful function, since there is
virtually nothing you can do with a GThread*, and implementing
it requires us to keep a list of threads around.
GStaticPrivate has been made redundant by adding comparable
capabilities to GPrivate.

Deprecate both g_thread_create functions and add
g_thread_new() and g_thread_new_full(). The new functions
expect a name for the thread.
Change GThreadPool, GMainContext and GDBus to create named threads.

Take out the half-private g_private_init() stuff and replace it with a
G_PRIVATE_INIT macro that allows specifying a GDestroyNotify.
Expose the GPrivate structure in a public header.
Add a g_private_replace() to (sort of) match the functionality of
g_static_mutex_set().
Improve the documentation.
Deprecate g_private_new().
To avoid iterating threads in g_static_private_free(), defer freeing
the per-thread data to thread exit. The one complication here is
that it is possible for the static private index to be reused while
'old' data is still around. To deal with that case, store the 'owner'
with each per-thread data node, and free old data in
g_static_private_get() if the owner doesn't match. The remaining
possibility that a private index could be reused by a GStaticPrivate
with the same address is sufficiently unlikely that we can probably
ignore it.
With this change, per-thread data is now truly private again,
and we can drop the lock for it as well.
