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.
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.

Fixes: #1190
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.

The header is now also installed under the common GIO include directory.
Sorry if it breaks any build, you had to use the correct header path.

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

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
The gdbus-codegen tool generates documentation from the XML introspection
description of a D-Bus interface. Currently, only DocBook is supported at
the moment, but not every modern documentation generator can handle that
format. The reStructuredText format is a bit more well-supported,
especially in documentation generators for non-C languages.
Unlike DocBook, we get to make our own structure and conventions for how
we structure the documentation when using reStructuredText.
When parsing a comment we're adding <para> elements ourselves, but the
DocBook generator already wraps any block of text that does not start
with a <para> element with one.
xucred does not provide the peer pid id, but this can be fetched
from the socket LOCAL_PEERPID option. Note that we only support
it when creating the credentials from a local socket, if
the credential comes from a message over a socket the peer
pid id will not be set and -1 will be returned when trying
to get the pid for the credential.
D-Bus reference implementation doesn't require more than the claimed
process SID as part of the AUTH initial data for EXTERNAL.
