Move g_variant_new_from_bytes() and g_variant_get_data_as_bytes() out of
-core and into gvariant.c, also rewriting them to use the same.
Take the time to do some cleanup and make some general improvements in
consistency:
- move the checks for improperly sized fixed-sized data out of
_new_from_bytes() and into the common code so that we do this check
on _new_from_data() as well
- correctly deal with the case of NULL data in _get_data_as_bytes().
This would have crashed before. Add a test for that.
- if the user hands us data with a size of zero then unref and/or
destroy-notify things immediately.
The idea that every GVariant must have an associated GBytes remains.

cases where it could be avoided are only a few (errors, zero-size,

GVariant: add internal tree-form locking helper
Many of the core GVariant operations have two modes: one for tree-form
and one for serialised.
Once a GVariant is in serialised form it will always be serialised, so
it is safe to simply check for that and proceed with the operation in
that case.
A tree-form GVariant instance always has a chance of being implicitly
serialised, however, so we have to take locks when performing operations
on these.
Write a helper function that reliably checks if the instance is in
tree-form, locking it if it is. Rewrite some of the other functions to
use this helper. In some cases this simplifies the code and in others
it reduces locking.
Ryan Lortie [Thu, 27 Nov 2014 21:37:13 +0000 (16:37 -0500)]
GVariant: calculate size at construction
It's always possible to determine the serialised size of a GVariant
instance, even in the case that it is not yet serialised. This can be
done by calling g_variant_get_size() which will base its answer on the
size of each child (which must be recursively determined).
We must perform this process before we can allocate the buffer to
serialise a GVariant into (since we must know the size of the buffer).
This means that serialising a GVariant involves two steps that recurse
through the entire tree of values. We must take locks twice.
Simplify this by always determining the size when the instance is first
created, from the sizes of its children (which now will always be known
as well). We can do this without taking any locks because the
newly-created instance has never been exposed and because the size on
the children is now a constant that can be directly accessed without a
lock.
This is a reduction in complexity and will also be a performance
improvement in all cases where a GVariant is serialised. It will be a
slight performance hit in the case that we construct tree-form instances
and never serialise them.

macros: add side-effecting variants of asserts
Add g_assert_se(), g_return_if_fail_se() and g_return_val_if_fail_se()
as variants of the existing macros that are guaranteed to evaluate side
effects in their expression argument. Inspired by similar macros in
systemd.
These are just macros, so they come at no extra cost.

It adds a new error G_IO_ERROR_NOT_CONNECTED

gsocket: add G_IO_ERROR_CONNECTION_CLOSED
Add G_IO_ERROR_CONNECTION_CLOSED as an alias for
G_IO_ERROR_BROKEN_PIPE, and also return it on ECONNRESET.
It doesn't really make sense to try to distinguish EPIPE and
ECONNRESET at the GLib level, since the exact choice of which error
gets returned in what conditions depends on the OS. Given that, we
ought to map the two errors to the same value, and since we're already
mapping EPIPE to G_IO_ERROR_BROKEN_PIPE, we need to map ECONNRESET to
that too. But the existing name doesn't really make sense for sockets,
so we add a new name.

gnetworkaddress: Add g_network_address_new_loopback() constructor
This is a convenience method for creating a GNetworkAddress which is
guaranteed to return IPv4 and IPv6 loopback addresses. The program
cannot guarantee that 'localhost' will resolve to both types of
address, so programs which wish to connect to a local service over
either IPv4 or IPv6 must currently manually create an IPv4 and another
IPv6 socket, and detect which of the two are working. This new API
allows the existing GSocketConnectable machinery to be used to
automate that.
Based on a patch from Philip Withnall.
