It could have been used to load private data which would not normally be
accessible to an unprivileged caller.

G_RESOURCE_OVERLAYS is a list of resource-path and filesystem-path pairs.
Since on Windows filesystem paths use ':', this list can't be ':'-separated
there. Fix that by making it ';'-separated on Windows. Make the parser
error clearer (we're not looking for a slash, we're looking for an absolute
path).
The documentation was unclear about what error codes would be returned
on attempting to open an empty or corrupt GVDB file. Previous versions
of the documentation incorrectly said that corrupt GVDB files were
considered equivalent to empty ones.
A recent commit has clarified the documentation to include its error
handling behaviour.
Update the two users of GVDB within GLib, GResource and GSettingsSource,
to follow this change, and add unit tests for them both.
Other users of the GVDB copylib will need to update their copy and make
appropriate changes if they have bugs in their handling of this
situation. dconf is one example of this. GVDB should be updated from

Adds tests to cover this case and similar cases for various GResource
methods in future.

In the vast majority of cases, we can avoid temporary
allocations for paths in g_resources_enumerate_children().
In the case we need to add a suffix "/", we can usually just
build the path on the stack. In other cases, we can completely
avoid the strdup, which appears to only have been added for
readability. If the path is really long, we fallback to doing
what we did before, and use g_strconcat().
In the case of Builder, this saved 5.3mb of temporary
allocations in the process of showing the first application
window.

Since GtkApplication auto-loads some well-known resource paths. Add a
cross-reference to its documentation. (The cross-reference won’t be
linked if the GTK+ documentation isn’t available at build time, but this
is probably good enough. It is likely to be available.)

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.
When debugging a program or testing a change to an installed version, it
is often useful to be able to replace resources in the program or a
library, without recompiling.
To support this, for debugging and hacking purposes, it's now possible
to define a G_RESOURCE_OVERLAYS environment variable as a
colon-separated list of substitutions to perform when looking up
GResources.
A substitution has the form
"/org/gtk/libgtk=/home/desrt/gtk-overlay"
The part before the '=' is the resource subpath for which the overlay
applies. The part after is a filesystem path which contains files and
subdirectories as you would like to be loaded as resources with the
equivalent names.
In the example above, if an application tried to load a resource with
the resource path '/org/gtk/libgtk/ui/gtkdialog.ui' then GResource would
check the filesystem path '/home/desrt/gtk-overlay/ui/gtkdialog.ui'. If
a file was found there, it would be used instead.
Substitutions must start with a slash, and must not have a trailing
slash before the '='. It is possible to overlay the location of a
single resource with an individual file.

Replace the hand-written equivalent of this with the call to the
GHashTable built-in version to save a few lines of code.
The GResource code was written a couple of years before this function
existed.
Similarly, replace a set-mode usage of g_hash_table_insert() with a call
to g_hash_table_add().

Resources are always little endian, so the gvdb is byteswapped. When looking
up the value, it would return a new byteswapped variant, making the data
returned from do_lookup() invalid once that variant is unref'd. Since
byteswapping doesn't matter for the "ay" data anyway, just use
gvdb_table_get_raw_value() instead and only byteswap the length and flag
values.
