This is a departure from our policy of using the minimum required Meson
version, but I think it might be worth a try to see if it fixes the
persistent intermittent build failures on these platforms due to what
looks like build dependency graph issues.
For example:
- https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/glib/-/jobs/2579411
- https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/glib/-/jobs/2578792
- https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/glib/-/jobs/2579220
- https://gitlab.gnome.org/pwithnall/glib/-/jobs/2588507
I was looking at trying to diagnose some of these failures in order to
potentially file bugs against Meson, but the first step is really to
test against the latest version of Meson. So here we are.
Crucially, our other CI jobs continue to use the minimum Meson version
required by GLib, so we continue to test that GLib builds with its
minimum dependencies. I do not plan to change that.
Also crucially, this MR continues to use a specific Meson version,
rather than asking `pip` to install the latest available. Doing that
could lead to unexpected regressions in future, and that’s not what
GLib’s CI is meant to be testing for.

They take too long and time out, and are not particularly useful to run
under valgrind because they aren’t designed to test code coverage.

While it’s not possible to build GLib with `-Wsign-conversion` enabled
(there are too many warnings), it would be useful to check that GLib’s
public headers can be used with `-Wsign-conversion` enabled, as some
projects want to do that. For example, dnf5 is built that way (see
issue #2919).
Add a simple regression test for this, by re-building the `gstring`
tests with `-Wsign-conversion` enabled. Since they include `glib.h`,
this will test all the public libglib headers by proxy.
Since this is a compile-only test, it doesn’t need to be installed.

It was assigning the two provided lengths to internal `int` variables.
Given that memory block lengths are typically a `size_t`, this will
usually result in a warning if `-Wsign-conversion` is enabled.
Given that the internal variables are passed to `memcmp()`, which takes
`size_t`, change them to `size_t` and add an explicit cast to avoid
warnings in future.
The alternative would be to mess around with defining `__l1` and `__l2`
to using `typeof()`, but that would lead to a complete mess with the
printf placeholders and probably cause more problems than it fixes.

Otherwise, the content of the buffer is thrown away when switching
from reading via a GDataInputStream to unbuffered reads when waiting
for the "BEGIN" line.
(The code already tried to protect against over-reading like this by
using unbuffered reads for the last few lines of the auth protocol,
but it might already be too late at that point. The buffer of the
GDataInputStream might already contain the "BEGIN" line for example.)
This matters when connecting a sd-bus client directly to a GDBus
client. A sd-bus client optimistically sends the whole auth
conversation in one go without waiting for intermediate replies. This
is done to improve performance for the many short-lived connections
that are typically made.
This reverts commit 27bee8fe5d.
Inevitably, despite testing the CI multiple times before merging commit
27bee8fe, the CI is now failing again in the `socket` test due to (what
I continue to assume is) the kernel regression:
https://gitlab.gnome.org/martinpitt/glib/-/jobs/2585332
In order to unblock development on `main` expediently, I guess I’ll just
revert the revert.

The array is an array of bytes in this part of the test, so we need to
append a single byte. Previously we were reusing val (a size_t variable)
from earlier in the test, but because g_array_append_val passes the value
by reference, appending a multi-byte number to an array of bytes will
take the first byte of the number's memory representation, which has the
desired value on little-endian CPUs but is zero on big-endian, leading
to a test failure.

Change originally by Piotr in !3257, but the CI has problems with
his name in the author field. Since this change is blocking a release,
I have decided to merge it under my name instead, so that it lands sooner.
In parallel, we are trying to figure out what is broken with the CI so
this does not happen again.

It’s a private API, and is not meant to be exposed in the public API.
Since it’s only used internally within libglib, we don’t have to expose
it in the public symbol table, so drop the decorator.

It’s not meant to be exposed publicly yet (we’re not ready to stabilise
it), but it was incorrectly decorated with `GLIB_AVAILABLE_IN_2_76`.
We can’t remove the decorator and use it that way, as it’s called in
libgio, so we have to expose it using `GLIB_PRIVATE_CALL()`.

GObject-Introspection seems to become confused by the nested conditional

GObject-Introspection and gtk-doc both parse C headers using regular
expressions, so they can easily be confused by non-trivial conditions.
GObject-Introspection warns about this:
.../gstrfuncs.h:151: the __GI_SCANNER__ constant should only be used with simple #ifdef or #endif: #if !defined (__GTK_DOC_IGNORE__) && !defined (__GI_SCANNER__)
In this case it's very easy to convert the compound expression into
nesting.

Glib does not yet have a well defined ABI/API for architectures
where gsize != guintptr (e.g. CHERI). To enable working on bringup
for new architectures this assertion can be disabled with
`-DG_ENABLE_EXPERIMENTAL_ABI_COMPILATION`.
