📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The GNOME 2 and GNOME 3 configuration modules now support conditional GLib sized deallocation. Cleanup paths use centralized deallocation macros, and initialization resolves the required GLib symbols.

Changes

GLib sized deallocation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Deallocation contract and symbol loading
config_gnome2.c, config_gnome3.c
Both modules define HAVE_G_FREE_SIZED, evaluate cleanup arguments once, and select g_free_sized when object size is known. Initialization resolves and validates the sized deallocator when enabled.
Cleanup call-site migration
config_gnome2.c, config_gnome3.c
Proxy modes, auto-configuration URLs, and proxy hosts use the centralized deallocation macro. GNOME 2 bypass-list destruction uses the regular loaded callback.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 4a624

This change updates GNOME proxy-configuration cleanup to use GLib sized deallocation where available. The fallback configuration may still fail to build or load because it can reference a GLib deallocator outside the existing dynamic-loading path, so it should be resolved before merge.

🟡 Changes recommended

A new g_slist_free_full(..., g_free) call passes a function-like macro where a function pointer is required, and the new g_free(mem) macro also introduces unsafe multiple-evaluation of its argument.

Pull request overview

This PR updates the GNOME2 proxy configuration implementation to be compatible with GLib 2.78+ by dynamically loading g_free_sized and redefining g_free so it routes through the dlsym-loaded function pointers (avoiding conflicts with GLib’s g_free macro changes).

Changes:

  • Adds a g_free_sized function pointer to the GNOME2 config’s GLib symbol table and loads it via dlsym when available.
  • Undefines and redefines g_free to dispatch to the dynamically loaded GLib free function(s), and updates call sites to use g_free(...).
  • Updates list cleanup to use g_slist_free_full with a free callback.

File Description
config_gnome2.c Adds dynamic loading for g_free_sized and reworks g_free usage to be compatible with GLib 2.78+ macro behavior.

40-50: 🩺 Stability & Availability | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Route cleanup through the loaded function pointer.

When GLib does not define its conditional g_free macro, the outer guard skips the project macro. The cleanup calls then use the declared GLib g_free symbol instead of g_proxy_config_gnome2.g_free, despite the function pointer being resolved with dlsym. Define the project-local cleanup macro unconditionally. The current CMake target already links glib-2.0, so this does not add a new link dependency in current builds.

g_free_sized does not cause initialization failure: retain the dynamically
resolved g_free_sized when available, otherwise resolve and use the existing
g_free symbol as a fallback. Keep the fallback compatible with older GLib
runtimes and remove the unconditional error path for absent g_free_sized.

Is this #if even necessary? If it is available it will just use it right?

It should fail if can't bind the function in GLIB_VERSION_2_78+. It should not fail in older Glibs.
