On Windows, dbus is launched by spawning the gdbus.exe executable on
demand from the gio module. When linked dynamically, the executable
path is guessed relatively to the gio DLL path. But when linked
statically, the only reference path available is the current
executable path. In this case, gdbus.exe is not necessarily in the same
folder as the current executable.
This patch solves the issue using the same algorithm as the one used
with process spawning in glib core source code two commits above.
On Windows, process spawning needs an external helper exe which is found
relatively to the glib DLL file. If glib has been built statically this
file doesn't exist anymore and reference path is not the DLL path
anymore but the current executable path.
This patch searches for the helper exe taking as starting point the
current executable path, relative 'bin', 'lib', 'glib' and 'gio' folders
and then gets one level up until the root path. If this search doesn't
give result then the helper exe is searched using the PATH variable.
Fix a possibility of returning a relative path, in case PATH contains
a relative path. According to the doc, the function should return an
absolute path.

This is intended to provide a uniform interface for controlling whether
the debug output from an application (or service) is emitted, typically
to journald, but actually to wherever the application chooses to output
it.
The main implementation of `GDebugController` is `GDebugControllerDBus`,
which is intended to be used on Linux. Other implementations may be
added in future for other platforms, or larger applications may want to
provide their own implementation which integrates with their ecosystem.
The `GDebugControllerDBus` implementation exposes a D-Bus interface at
`/org/gtk/Debugging` with a method to enable or disable debug
output at runtime.
This could be used by external harnesses, such as GNOME Builder or
systemd, to give a uniform way to get debug output from an application.

This is an API analogue of the G_MESSAGES_DEBUG environment variable. It
is intended to be exposed outside applications (for example, as a D-Bus
interface — see follow-up commits) so that there is a uniform interface
for controlling the debug output of an application.

As with the previous commit, this isn’t needed for GLib’s tests to work
correctly, but is probably needed in other projects which might be
tempted to copy and paste the Meson tooling from GLib.

This isn’t needed to make the tests any better (it doesn’t really affect
them), but is probably needed for anyone who copies this Meson code in
order to add `glib-compile-resources` support to their project. It’s
pretty unlikely that someone would want to compile *and export* a
resource from a shared library.

Credentials are often used to check peer processes details.
With AF_UNIX sockets on Windows, SIO_AF_UNIX_GETPEERPID can
be used to retrive the peer PID.
We will probably introduce more advanced mechanisms later on, though,
but I am not a Windows API expert.

Sorry if it breaks any build, you had to use the correct header path.

Integer overflows in size calculations of buffers (GArray and GPtrArray)
allow subsequent buffer overflows. This happens due to conversions
between gsize and guint.
Proof of concept demonstrations of the overflows can be found in issue
2578. They are not being added as unit tests as they require too much
memory to test.
This will affect `GArray`s which are 4GB in size, or `GPtrArray`s which
are 48GB in size.
Fixes: #2578
They are not allowed in the specification, and can lead to infinite
loops when parsing.
That’s a security issue if your application is accepting D-Bus messages
from untrusted peers (perhaps in a peer-to-peer connection). It’s not
exploitable when your application is connected to a bus (such as the
system or session buses), as the bus daemons (dbus-daemon or
dbus-broker) filter out such broken messages and don’t forward them.
Arrays of zero-length elements are disallowed in the D-Bus
specification: https://dbus.freedesktop.org/doc/dbus-specification.html#container-types
oss-fuzz#41428, #41435Fixes: #2557
This fixes a bug in 7c4e6e9fbe.
The original approach in that commit accidentally only checked the depth
at the leaf nodes in the variant tree, whereas actually the depth should
be checked before recursing to avoid stack overflow.
It neglected to consider that `g_variant_serialised_is_normal()` would
be recursed into by some of the `DISPATCH(_is_normal)` cases. When that
happened, the depth check was after the recursion so couldn’t prevent a
stack overflow.
Fixes: #2572
Glib cannot be built statically on Windows because glib, gobject and gio
modules need to perform specific initialization when DLL are loaded and
cleanup when unloaded. Those initializations and cleanups are performed
using the DllMain function which is not called with static builds.
Issue is known for a while and solutions were already proposed but never
merged (see: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/glib/-/issues/692). Last
patch is from version 2.36.x and since then the
"constructor/destructor" mechanism has been implemented and used in
other part of the system.
This patch takes back the old idea and updates it to the last version of
glib to allow static compilation on Windows.
WARNING: because DllMain doesn't exist anymore in static compilation
mode, there is no easy way of knowing when a Windows thread finishes.
This patch implements a workaround for glib threads created by calling
g_thread_new(), so all glib threads created through glib API will behave
exactly the same way in static and dynamic compilation modes.
Unfortunately, Windows threads created by using CreateThread() or
_beginthread/ex() will not work with glib TLS functions. If users need
absolutely to use a thread NOT created with glib API under Windows and
in static compilation mode, they should not use glib functions within
their thread or they may encounter memory leaks when the thread finishes.
This should not be an issue as users should use exclusively the glib API
to manipulate threads in order to be cross-platform compatible and this
would be very unlikely and cumbersome that they may mix up Windows native
threads API with glib one.
Closes#692
According to build system (meson.build file), G_PLATFORM_WIN32 and G_OS_WIN32
are synonym. This commit just unify the usage of this define to prepare
for the static build conditional compilation code.
