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.
It must only be defined when building libgio. This requires some
workaround to allow include of some gio private headers.
When GIO_COMPILATION is not defined we cannot include individual gio
headers. We workaround that by defining __GIO_GIO_H_INSIDE__ in some
places. Also gdbusprivate.h is not an installed header, so it's fine to
include it directly.
There is currently no `dllimport` attribute on any of our function,
which prevents MSVC to optimize function calls.
To fix that issue, we need to redeclare all our visibility macros for
each of our libraries, because when compiling e.g. GIO code, we need
dllimport in GLIB headers and dllexport in GIO headers. That means they
cannot use the same GLIB_AVAILABLE_* macro.
Since that's a lot of boilerplate to copy/paste after each version bump,
this MR generate all those macros using a python script.
Also simplify the meson side by using `gnu_symbol_visibility : 'hidden'`
keyword argument instead of passing the cflag manually.
This leaves only API index to add manually into glib-docs.xml when
bumping GLib version. That file cannot be generated because Meson does
not allow passing a buit file to gnome.gtkdoc()'s main_xml kwarg
unfortunately.
Those tools are not needed at runtime for typical applications,
distributions typically package them separately.
This makes `meson install --tag runtime` skip installation of those
tools. Omitting `--tag` argument will still install them, as well as
with `--tag bin,bin-devel`.
See https://mesonbuild.com/Installing.html#installation-tags.
This is an internal helper executable, which users shouldn't invoke
directly (see glib#1633).
When building for a single-architecture distribution, we can install
it as ${libexecdir}/gio-launch-desktop.
When building for a multiarch distribution, installing it into an
architecture-specific location and packaging it alongside the GLib
library avoids the problem discussed in glib#1633 where it would either
cause a circular dependency between the GLib library and a common
cross-architecture package (libglib2.0-bin in Debian), or require a
separate package just to contain gio-launch-desktop, or cause different
architectures' copies to overwrite each other.

A shell one-liner was enough to set GIO_LAUNCHED_DESKTOP_FILE_PID,
but ideally we also want to do the equivalent of sd_journal_stream_fd()
to set up its standard output and standard error streams.
Ideally we would call sd_journal_stream_fd() in a process that will
exec the real program, otherwise it will report the wrong process ID
in the Journal, but we can't easily do that in a forked child when
using posix_spawn() for subprocesses.

In Debian-style multiarch (libdir = lib/x86_64-linux-gnu or similar),
Red-Hat-style multilib (libdir = lib64 or lib) and Arch-style multilib
(libdir = lib or lib32), we have to run a separate version of
gio-querymodules to discover 32- or 64-bit modules on x86. Installing
modules in the directory used for each word size needs to trigger
recompilation of the correct modules list.
Debian, Fedora and Arch currently all have patches to facilitate this:
Debian moves gio-querymodules into ${libdir}/glib-2.0 and provides a
compat symlink in ${bindir}, while Fedora and Arch rename one or both
of the gio-querymodules executables to give it a -32 or -64 suffix.
We can avoid the need for these patches by making this a build option.
Doing this upstream has the advantage that the pkg-config metadata for
each architecture points to the correct executable and is in sync with
reality.
I'm using Debian's installation scheme with a separate directory here,
because the word-size suffix used in Fedora and Arch only works for the
common case of 32- and 64-bit multilib, and does not cover scenarios
where there can be more than one ABI with the same word size, such as
multiarch cross-compilation or alternative ABIs like x32.
Now that we have this infrastructure, it's also convenient to use it for
glib-compile-schemas. This works with /usr/share, so it only needs to
be run for one architecture (typically the system's primary
architecture), but using /usr/bin/glib-compile-schemas for the trigger
would result in either primary and secondary architectures trying to
overwrite each other's /usr/bin/glib-compile-schemas binaries, or a
circular dependency (the GLib library would have to depend on a
common package that contains glib-compile-schemas, but
glib-compile-schemas depends on the GLib library). Installing a
glib-compile-schemas binary in an architecture-specific location
alongside each GLib library bypasses this problem.

Rather than carrying the copylib around inside GLib, which is a pain to
synchronise and affects our code coverage statistics.
This requires updating the CI images to cache the new subproject,
including updating the `cache-subprojects.sh` script to pull in git
submodules.
It also requires adding `gioenumtypes_dep` to be added to the
dependencies list of `libgio`, since it needs to be build before GVDB as
it’s pulled in by the GIO headers which GVDB includes.

Helps: #2603
It is not only shorter than `not meson.is_cross_build() or
meson.has_exe_wrapper()` but also handle the case of cross compiling to
a compatible arch such as building for i386 on an amd64.
libgamin was last released in 2007 and is dead
[upstream](https://gitlab.gnome.org/Archive/gamin). Distributions may
still ship it (although Fedora no longer does), but we want people to
use inotify on Linux since it’s actively supported.
BSDs use kqueue. Windows uses win32filemonitor.
FAM might still be used on some commercial Unix distributions, but there
are no contributors from those distributions, and certainly no CI for
them to prevent regressions.

Split out from https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/glib/-/merge_requests/2134
by Philip Withnall so it can be used in advance of HTTPS DNS record
support landing.
Reworked to no longer use test fixtures, as it’s simple enough to build
the response header in each test.
The tests are built on Unix only, as they test the parsing code in
`g_resolver_records_from_res_query()`, which is Unix-specific. The
Windows DNS APIs provide much more structured results which don’t need
parsing.
This allows applications to get their value regardless whether glib is a
subproject or pkgconfig:
gio_dep = dependency('gio-2.0')
giomoduledir = gio_dep.get_variable('giomoduledir')
schemasdir = gio_dep.get_variable('schemasdir')
This reverts commit 5aa03882ca.
It fails to compile on newer Meson versions with
`--fatal-meson-warnings` due to:
```
WARNING: Project targeting '>= 0.52.0' but tried to use feature introduced in '0.54.0': variables arg in declare_dependency.
gio/meson.build:833:0: ERROR: Fatal warnings enabled, aborting
```
That happens regardless of the fact that we’ve correctly limited the use
of the `variables` argument to only when building with Meson ≥ 0.56.
Unfortunately Meson can’t statically detect that the argument is
conditional.
Bumping GLib’s Meson dependency is too much work right now, so this MR
unfortunately has to be reverted.
This allows applications to get their value regardless whether glib is a
subproject or pkgconfig:
gio_dep = dependency('gio-2.0')
giomoduledir = gio_dep.get_variable('giomoduledir')
schemasdir = gio_dep.get_variable('schemasdir')
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.

Using ld_flags would work, but that does not propagate ldflags to users
of glib. Meson's dependency() call will propagate apple framework
dependencies to downstream users.
This call was needed once upon a time, when GResolver had subclasses
that presumably relied on this. Nowadays, we have only
GThreadedResolver, which does not need it. res_init() is dangerous
because it modifies global state, so let's get rid of it.
The "recursive:" kwarg is available in the targeted minimum version of
meson, and is basically required if you want to not emit warnings and
maybe error with --fatal-meson-warnings.
There are two basic solutions to this problem:
- The current default behavior is false, so explicitly opt in to that
value. None of these internal libraries use recursive objects anyway.
- Use link_with to link to the static library directly, rather than the
extracted objects.
Option 2 is what used to be done before commit
62af03bda8, but it only works with meson
>=0.52 and previously had buggy behavior.
Since the minimum version of meson is now 0.52, it is safe to revert
that commit and go back to using link_with, and therefore option 2 is
chosen.
The variable `gconstructor_code` (which is what’s defined by
`gconstructor_as_data_h`) is not used at all inside
`glib-compile-schemas`.
This looks like a copy/paste error from the build definition for
`glib-compile-resources` below, which does need it.
