Various parts of the build (such as `objectmanager-rst-gen`) depend on
running `gdbus-codegen` after it’s been built, but they currently only
encode a dependency to the main codegen Python file and not the
supporting files. This can cause `gdbus-codegen` to fail with an
`ImportError` if the build races so that `objectmanager-rst-gen` is
built before the codegen supporting files.

We cannot use `gvisibility_h` for different visibility header files; you
never know when you're going to refer to the variable again, and
projects might end up needing to retrieve the variable contents—like,
for instance, gobject-introspection using glib as a subproject.
Given that it can be computed using an error-prone strings comparisons it
is better to provide a variable everywhere, so that we don't have the
risk of comparing values that are always false.
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.
So long, and thanks for everything. We’re a Meson-only shop now.
glib-2-58 will remain the last stable GLib release series which is
buildable using autotools.
We continue to install autoconf macros for autotools-using projects
which depend on GLib; they are stable API.

The executable depends only on the generated header file at compile
time, and on the library at link time. So meson can decide to compile
gdbus-peer.c before compiling the library and thus won't have generated
the header yet, causing the build error.
So declare_dependency() should only have the header file in its sources,
to force generating files before compiling gdbus-peer.c without
including objectmanager-gen.c into gdbus-peer's sources.
We use libgdbus_example_objectmanager_dep as dependency for various
tests, but this implies only a link dependency while it doesn't ensure
that the sources are generated.
Make this explicit
When using glib as a meson subproject on Windows the build currently fails
due to too long paths during the build process. See
https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/issues/4226 for the upstream bug.
To work around the issue shorten the filenames of the generated gdbus files.
Properly define GLIB/GOBJECT_STATIC_COMPILATION when static build is enabled.
Use library() instead of shared_library() to allow selecting static builds.

This prevents testsuite from trying to build any TESTS in that
subdirectory, which will fail, because there are no TESTS defined
in that Makefile.am.
This happens when user runs make check TESTS=...

Perform a substantial cleanup of the build system with respect to
building and installing testcases.
First, Makefile.decl has been renamed glib.mk and substantially
expanded. We intend to add more stuff here in the future, like canned
rules for mkenums, marshallers, resources, etc.
By default, tests are no longer compiled as part of 'make'. They will
be built when 'make check' is run. The old behaviour can be obtained
with --enable-always-build-tests.
--disable-modular-tests is gone (because tests are no longer built by
default). There is no longer any way to cause 'make check' to be a
no-op, but that's not very useful anyway.
A new glibtests.m4 file is introduced. Along with glib.mk, this
provides for consistent handling of --enable-installed-tests and
--enable-always-build-tests (mentioned above).
Port our various test-installing Makefiles to the new framework.
This patch substantially improves the situation in the toplevel tests/
directory. Things are now somewhat under control there. There were
some tests being built that weren't even being run and we run those now.
The long-running GObject performance tests in this directory have been
removed from 'make check' because they take too long.
As an experiment, 'make check' now runs the testcases on win32 builds,
by default. We can't run them under gtester (since it uses a pipe to
communicate with the subprocess) so just toss them in TESTS. Most of
them are passing on win32.
Things are not quite done here, but this patch is already a substantial
improvement. More to come.
This is the expected (and sane) behavior - without this bug-fix you'd
have to add "Since" to every member of a newly added D-Bus interface.
Also show-case this in the codegen example.

This avoids the generated types (e.g. ExampleAnimal, ExampleCat,
ExampleObject and ExampleObjectManagerClient) being referenced in the
core gio docs. This was requested by Matthias.
