/**
* SECTION:gappinfo
* @short_description: Application information and launch contexts
* @include: gio/gio.h
* @see_also: #GAppInfoMonitor
*
* #GAppInfo and #GAppLaunchContext are used for describing and launching
* applications installed on the system.
*
* As of GLib 2.20, URIs will always be converted to POSIX paths
* (using g_file_get_path()) when using g_app_info_launch() even if
* the application requested an URI and not a POSIX path. For example
* for an desktop-file based application with Exec key `totem
* \%U` and a single URI, `sftp://foo/file.avi`, then
* `/home/user/.gvfs/sftp on foo/file.avi` will be passed. This will
* only work if a set of suitable GIO extensions (such as gvfs 2.26
* compiled with FUSE support), is available and operational; if this
* is not the case, the URI will be passed unmodified to the application.
* Some URIs, such as `mailto:`, of course cannot be mapped to a POSIX
* path (in gvfs there's no FUSE mount for it); such URIs will be
* passed unmodified to the application.
*
* Specifically for gvfs 2.26 and later, the POSIX URI will be mapped
* back to the GIO URI in the #GFile constructors (since gvfs
* implements the #GVfs extension point). As such, if the application
* needs to examine the URI, it needs to use g_file_get_uri() or
* similar on #GFile. In other words, an application cannot assume
* that the URI passed to e.g. g_file_new_for_commandline_arg() is
* equal to the result of g_file_get_uri(). The following snippet
* illustrates this:
*
* |[
* GFile *f;
* char *uri;
*
* file = g_file_new_for_commandline_arg (uri_from_commandline);
*
* uri = g_file_get_uri (file);
* strcmp (uri, uri_from_commandline) == 0;
* g_free (uri);
*
* if (g_file_has_uri_scheme (file, "cdda"))
* {
* // do something special with uri
* }
* g_object_unref (file);
* ]|
*
* This code will work when both `cdda://sr0/Track 1.wav` and
* `/home/user/.gvfs/cdda on sr0/Track 1.wav` is passed to the
* application. It should be noted that it's generally not safe
* for applications to rely on the format of a particular URIs.
* Different launcher applications (e.g. file managers) may have
* different ideas of what a given URI means.

* SECTION:gappinfomonitor
* @short_description: Monitor application information for changes
*
* #GAppInfoMonitor is a very simple object used for monitoring the app
* info database for changes (ie: newly installed or removed
* applications).
*
* Call g_app_info_monitor_get() to get a #GAppInfoMonitor and connect
* to the "changed" signal.
*
* In the usual case, applications should try to make note of the change
* (doing things like invalidating caches) but not act on it. In
* particular, applications should avoid making calls to #GAppInfo APIs
* in response to the change signal, deferring these until the time that
* the data is actually required. The exception to this case is when
* application information is actually being displayed on the screen
* (eg: during a search or when the list of all applications is shown).
* The reason for this is that changes to the list of installed
* applications often come in groups (like during system updates) and
* rescanning the list on every change is pointless and expensive.
*
* Since: 2.40

/* We have one of each of these per main context and hand them out
* according to the thread default main context at the time of the call
* to g_app_info_monitor_get().
*
* g_object_unref() is only ever called from the same context, so we
* effectively have a single-threaded scenario for each GAppInfoMonitor.
*
* We use a hashtable to cache the per-context monitor (but we do not
* hold a ref). During finalize, we remove it. This is possible
* because we don't have to worry about the usual races due to the
* single-threaded nature of each object.
*
* We keep a global list of all contexts that have a monitor for them,
* which we have to access under a lock. When we dispatch the events to
* be handled in each context, we don't pass the monitor, but the
* context itself.
*
* We dispatch from the GLib worker context, so if we passed the
* monitor, we would need to take a ref on it (in case it was destroyed
* in its own thread meanwhile). The monitor holds a ref on a context
* and the dispatch would mean that the context would hold a ref on the
* monitor. If someone stopped iterating the context at just this
* moment both the context and monitor would leak.
*
* Instead, we dispatch the context to itself. We don't hold a ref.
* There is the danger that the context will be destroyed during the
* dispatch, but if that is the case then we just won't receive our
* callback.
*
* When the dispatch occurs we just lookup the monitor in the hashtable,
* by context. We can now add and remove refs, since the context will
* have been acquired.
