Instead, use "! test || cmd" which has more the semantics

Most of the caller won't require a deep-clone of the attribute
names. Likely, the fetch the name, so they can lookup the attributes.
In that common case, there is no need to clone the strings themself.

libnm/fake-typelib/meson.build:23:0: ERROR: The "dependencies" argument of gnome.compile_resources() can not
be used with the current version of glib-compile-resources due to
<https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=774368>
The fake-typelib is not really essential. Don't fix it, just print
a warning that we are unable to build it.
With glib < 2.51.3, gdbus-codegen does not understand "--output-directory" [1].
Hence, the generated files are like
"build/dbus-org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.Device.WifiP2P.xml"
instead of
"build/introspection/dbus-org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.Device.WifiP2P.xml"
But gnome.gdbus_codegen() returns a path as if it would be inside
"build/introspection". Hack around that, by patching the correct path
otherwise. This is still ugly, because repeated "ninja -C build" calls
will always try to rebuild this target (because the wrong file name
is considered).

The library is called "libnm_core". So the dependency should be called
"libnm_core_dep", like in all other cases.
(cherry picked from commit c27ad37c27)
"libnm-core" implements common functionality for "NetworkManager" and
"libnm".
Note that clients like "nmcli" cannot access the internal API provided
by "libnm-core". So, if nmcli wants to do something that is also done by
"libnm-core", , "libnm", or "NetworkManager", the code would have to be
duplicated.
Instead, such code can be in "libnm-libnm-core-{intern|aux}.la".
Note that:
0) "libnm-libnm-core-intern.la" is used by libnm-core itsself.
On the other hand, "libnm-libnm-core-aux.la" is not used by
libnm-core, but provides utilities on top of it.
1) they both extend "libnm-core" with utlities that are not public
API of libnm itself. Maybe part of the code should one day become
public API of libnm. On the other hand, this is code for which
we may not want to commit to a stable interface or which we
don't want to provide as part of the API.
2) "libnm-libnm-core-intern.la" is statically linked by "libnm-core"
and thus directly available to "libnm" and "NetworkManager".
On the other hand, "libnm-libnm-core-aux.la" may be used by "libnm"
and "NetworkManager".
Both libraries may be statically linked by libnm clients (like
nmcli).
3) it must only use glib, libnm-glib-aux.la, and the public API
of libnm-core.
This is important: it must not use "libnm-core/nm-core-internal.h"
nor "libnm-core/nm-utils-private.h" so the static library is usable
by nmcli which couldn't access these.
Note that "shared/nm-meta-setting.c" is an entirely different case,
because it behaves differently depending on whether linking against
"libnm-core" or the client programs. As such, this file must be compiled
twice.

From the files under "shared/nm-utils" we build an internal library
that provides glib-based helper utilities.
Move the files of that basic library to a new subdirectory
"shared/nm-glib-aux" and rename the helper library "libnm-core-base.la"
to "libnm-glib-aux.la".
Reasons:
- the name "utils" is overused in our code-base. Everything's an
"utils". Give this thing a more distinct name.
- there were additional files under "shared/nm-utils", which are not
part of this internal library "libnm-utils-base.la". All the files
that are part of this library should be together in the same
directory, but files that are not, should not be there.
- the new name should better convey what this library is and what is isn't:
it's a set of utilities and helper functions that extend glib with
funcitonality that we commonly need.
There are still some files left under "shared/nm-utils". They have less
a unifying propose to be in their own directory, so I leave them there
for now. But at least they are separate from "shared/nm-glib-aux",
which has a very clear purpose.
(cherry picked from commit 80db06f768)
We built (among others) two libraries from the sources in "shared/nm-utils":
"libnm-utils-base.la" and "libnm-utils-udev.la".
It's confusing. Instead use directories so there is a direct
correspondence between these internal libraries and the source files.
(cherry picked from commit 2973d68253)
"shared/nm-utils" contains general purpose utility functions that only
depend on glib (and extend glib with some helper functions).
We will also add code that does not use glib, hence it would be good
if the part of "shared/nm-utils" that does not depend on glib, could be
used by these future projects.
Also, we use the term "utils" everywhere. While that covers the purpose
and content well, having everything called "nm-something-utils" is not
great. Instead, call this "nm-std-aux", inspired by "c-util/c-stdaux".

There should be little difference here, because the priority list is
(and was) never serialized with special characters like backslashes or
delimiters that require escaping.
Likewise, no working code actually tried to set such characters.
Still, drop the plain VALUE_STRSPLIT_MODE_STRIPPED and use
VALUE_STRSPLIT_MODE_ESCAPED_TOKENS_WITH_SPACES instead. We should have
a small set of modes that we use for splitting strings.
(cherry picked from commit 7f01da917e)
- merge the pointless helper function vlan_priorities_to_string()
into the only caller _get_fcn_vlan_xgress_priority_map().
- minor cleanups, like setting out-is-default if num==0, not
based on whether we have a non-empty string. There is not difference
in practice, because nm_setting_vlan_get_priority() never fails.
Hence they are identical. But nm_setting_vlan_get_priority() has
an API that allows it to fail, so we should declare the default
depending on the number of vlan priorities.
- don't allocate the temporary GString instance if we won't need it.
- only append the delimiter if needed, and not truncate it afterwards.
It might have even worse performance this way, but it feels more
correct to me.
- also cache the result of nm_setting_vlan_get_num_priorities().
NMSettingVlan's implementation is horrible and uses a GSList to
track the list of priorities. This makes it relatively expensive
to call get-num-priorities repeatedly (and pointless).
(cherry picked from commit bbfd366805)
the only change in behaviour is for VALUE_STRSPLIT_MODE_MULTILIST.
Previously, we would split at " \t,", now we will also split at
the white space characters "\n\r\f".

... and the "unescape" variants.
This is replaced by nm_utils_escaped_tokens_split()
and nm_utils_escaped_tokens_escape*() API.
(cherry picked from commit 304eab8703)
For one, use NM_ASCII_SPACES as delimiter when reading
"MATCH_INTERFACE_NAME". Previously, it was only " \t".
I think there is no change in behavior otherwise.
(cherry picked from commit 941f27d350)
We had %VALUE_STRSPLIT_MODE_MULTILIST_WITH_ESCAPE, which was used
by "match.interface-names". This uses nm_utils_strsplit_set_full()
with %NM_UTILS_STRSPLIT_SET_FLAGS_ALLOW_ESCAPING and
_nm_utils_unescape_plain().
We want eventually to use nm_utils_escaped_tokens_split() everywhere.
We already have %VALUE_STRSPLIT_MODE_ESCAPED_TOKENS, which splits the
list at ',' (and strips whitespaces at the around the delimiter). That
differs from what %VALUE_STRSPLIT_MODE_MULTILIST_WITH_ESCAPE did, which
also considered whitespace a delimiter.
So, we need a new mode %VALUE_STRSPLIT_MODE_ESCAPED_TOKENS_WITH_SPACES
which replaces the previous mode.
Note that the previous implementation did almost the same thing. In
fact, I cannot imagine examples where they behaved differently, but
my feeling is that there might be some edge cases where this changes
behavior.
(cherry picked from commit 6093f49304)
The reminder of the function only does (something akin to) g_strstrip().
As we split the strings are spaces to begin with, there is nothing to
strip and we can return right away.
(cherry picked from commit b74d9a0bd5)
When splitting (and concatenating) list-typed properties,
we really should use nm_utils_escaped_tokens_split()
and nm_utils_escaped_tokens_escape*().
Make that the default, and mark all properties to opt-in to the
legacy behavior.
(cherry picked from commit 5a71592087)
The modes VALUE_STRSPLIT_MODE_OBJLIST* and VALUE_STRSPLIT_MODE_MULTILIST* are
different. We must use the right mode.
For example, _get_fcn_match_interface_name() concatenates the interface-names
with space. So, the tokenizer of the setter must also use space as delimiter.
VALUE_STRSPLIT_MODE_MULTILIST_WITH_ESCAPE does that correctly,
VALUE_STRSPLIT_MODE_OBJLIST_WITH_ESCAPE does not.
