These are alternatives to the existing `time_t`-based APIs, which will
soon be deprecated due to `time_t` only being Y2038-safe on 64-bit
systems.
The new APIs take a GDateTime instead.

This updates gdbus-codegen.xml to include documentation for the
--symbol-decorator, --symbol-decorator-header and
--symbol-decorator-define options, which is used to help to export
symbols in the generated code.
This ensures that we do really export the symbols for Visual
Studio-style builds, by using _GLIB_EXTERN to decorate the generated
prototypes and including config.h so that we are sure the symbols are
actually exported.
This adds three options to gdbus-codegen so that we may be able to
use a self-defined symbol decorator, such as _GLIB_EXTERN, to decorate
the generated prototypes, to be used possibly to export the symbols, if
needed.
The other two options allows including headers that are required for the
specified symbol decorator to be usable and preprocessor macros that are
required for the symbol decorator to be defined appropriately, also when
needed.
When targeting mingw on architectures other than x86, the earlier cases
don't apply, and the final fallback, raise(SIGTRAP) isn't usable there.
GCC and Clang both support __builtin_trap(), so in case we have no
other alternatives, and are on windows (where raise() isn't available),
we can resort to this.
Have the generated .c code decorate the prototypes with "G_MODULE_EXPORT"
instead of "extern" when --internal is not being used, so that we also
export the symbols from the generated code on Visual Studio-style
compilers. If --internal is used, we decorate the prototypes with
"G_GNUC_INTERNAL", as we did before.
Note that since the generated .c code does not attempt to include the
generated headers (if one is also generated), the gnerated headers are
still generated as they were before.
Sometimes this test was timing out due to the file monitor notifications
taking longer than the arbitrary 2s delay before ending the test and
checking its results at the end of `iclosed_cb()`.
Avoid that timing-dependence by ending the test when the expected file
monitor notifications are seen, or after a 10s timeout (if so, the test
is failed).
This makes the test run 4× faster in the normal case, as it’s no longer
waiting for a timeout to elapse if the file monitor notifications come
in sooner.

gtk-doc 1.33 hasn’t been released yet, but when it is, it’ll contain
three fixes which are necessary for correctly detecting which symbols
are undocumented/undeclared/unused in GLib:
• gtk-doc@b866a90b
• gtk-doc@ca42972c
• gtk-doc@b922e148
1.32.1 is the development version number which will eventually be
released as 1.33.
Until then, we can’t run the gtk-doc tests in CI because they reliably
fail spuriously. See !1488.

The gtk-doc tests are hardcoded by Meson to output as `glib /
gio-doc-check`, `glib / gobject-doc-check`, etc., without an explicit
project name and suite. This causes the following exception in the
report parser:
```

The test added for #1841 spawned 100000 threads. That was fine on a
desktop machine, but on a heavily loaded CI machine, it could result in
large (and unpredictable) slowdowns, resulting in the test taking over
120s in about 1 in 5 runs, and hence failing that CI pipeline due to a
timeout. When passing normally on CI, the test would take around 90s.
Here’s a histogram of time per iteration on a failing (timed out) test
run. Each iteration is one thread spawn:
Iteration duration (µs) | Frequency
------------------------+----------
≤100 | 0
100–200 | 30257
200–400 | 13696
400–800 | 1046
800–1000 | 123
1000–2000 | 583
2000–4000 | 3779
4000–8000 | 4972
8000–10000 | 1027
10000–20000 | 2610
20000–40000 | 650
40000–80000 | 86
80000–100000 | 10
100000–200000 | 2
>200000 | 0
There’s no actual need for the test to spawn 100000 threads, so rewrite
it to reuse a single thread, and pass new data to that thread.
Reverting the original commit (e4a690f5dd) reproduces the failure on
100 out of 100 test runs with this commit applied, so the test still
works.
The test now takes 3s, rather than 11s, to run on my computer, and has
passed when run with `meson test --repeat 1000 cancellable`.

The various `g_strdup_printf()` returns values in the implementations of GValue
lcopy_func are runtime checks which could be disabled if one wants and therefore
should be handled as such with g_return_val_if_fail()
An extra argument to g_win32_registry_key_get_value_w() and
g_win32_registry_key_get_value() indicates that RegLoadMUIStringW()
should be used instead of RegQueryValueExW(). It only works on
strings, and automatically resolves resource strings (the ones
that start with "@").
The extra argument is needed to find resource DLLs that are only
specified by their relative name.
When timeout grater than 0 in g_poll function, the WaitForMultipleObjects
call will wait for all the threads to return, but when only one thread
got an event the others will sleep until the timeout elapses, and causes
a stall. Triggering the stop event in g_poll in this case is useless as
it is triggered when all the threads where already signaled or timed-out.
Closes: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/glib/issues/2107
The property strings are interned already, so this potentially allows for faster
comparisons. The property strings were already not copied, as they were tagged
as static.
This adds support to be able to explicitely stored interned strings into
G_TYPE_STRING GValue.
This is useful for cases where the user:
* *knows* the string to be stored in the GValue is canonical
* Wants to know whther the string stored is canonical
This allows:
* zero-cost GValue copy (the content is guaranteed to be unique and exist
throughout the process life)
* zero-cost string equality checks (if both string GValue are interned, you just
need to check the pointers for equality or not, instead of doing a strcmp).
Fixes#2109
The g_once() function exists to call a callback function exactly once,
and to block multiple contending threads on its completion, then to
return its return value to all of them (so they all see the same value).
The full implementation of g_once() (in g_once_impl()) uses a mutex and
condition variable to achieve this, and is needed in the contended case,
where multiple threads need to be blocked on completion of the callback.
However, most of the times that g_once() is called, the callback will
already have been called, and it just needs to establish that it has
been called and to return the stored return value.
Previously, a fast path was used if we knew that memory barriers were
not needed on the current architecture to safely access two dependent
global variables in the presence of multi-threaded access. This is true
of all sequentially consistent architectures.
Checking whether we could use this fast path (if
`G_ATOMIC_OP_MEMORY_BARRIER_NEEDED` was *not* defined) was a bit of a
pain, though, as it required GLib to know the memory consistency model
of every architecture. This kind of knowledge is traditionally a
compiler’s domain.
So, simplify the fast path by using the compiler-provided atomic
intrinsics, and acquire-release memory consistency semantics, if they
are available. If they’re not available, fall back to always locking as
before.
We definitely need to use `__ATOMIC_ACQUIRE` in the macro implementation
of g_once(). We don’t actually need to make the `__ATOMIC_RELEASE`
changes in `gthread.c` though, since locking and unlocking a mutex
guarantees to insert a full compiler and hardware memory barrier
(enforcing sequential consistency). So the `__ATOMIC_RELEASE` changes
are only in there to make it obvious what stores are logically meant to
match up with the `__ATOMIC_ACQUIRE` loads in `gthread.h`.
Notably, only the second store (and the first load) has to be atomic.
i.e. When storing `once->retval` and `once->status`, the first store is
normal and the second is atomic. This is because the writes have a
happens-before relationship, and all (atomic or non-atomic) writes
which happen-before an atomic store/release are visible in the thread
doing an atomic load/acquire on the same atomic variable, once that load
is complete.
