GCC's manpage says that this flag does the following:
Do not store floating-point variables in registers, and inhibit other
options that might change whether a floating-point value is taken from
a register or memory.
This option prevents undesirable excess precision on machines such as
the 68000 where the floating registers (of the 68881) keep more
precision than a "double" is supposed to have. Similarly for the x86
architecture. For most programs, the excess precision does only good,
but a few programs rely on the precise definition of IEEE floating
point.
We rely on this behaviour in our fork of clutter. When performing
floating point computations on x86, we are getting the wrong results
because of this architecture's use of the CPU's extended (x87, non-IEEE
confirming) precision by default. If we enable `-ffloat-store` here,
then we'll get the same results everywhere by storing into variables
instead of registers. This does not remove the need to be correct when
handling floats, but it does mean we don't need to be more correct than
the IEEE spec requires.

Since the API version was added, we've bumped it at some point late-ish in
the cycle when enough changes had accumulated (but way after the first ABI
break). Automate that process by computing the API version automatically
from the project version:
With this commit, the new API version will be 5 for the remaining 3.33.x
releases and all 3.34.x stable versions; 3.35.1 will then bump it to 6 and
so forth.

The include <sys/random.h> was added to glibc-2.25, previously was
<linux/random.h>.
Adjust meson build and code to accomodate both.
Fixes: a8984a81c "xwayland: Generate a Xauth file and pass this to
Xwayland when starting it"
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/merge_requests/633
Before this commit, sudo x11-app, e.g. sudo gvim /etc/some-file, fails
when running a Wayland session. Where as doing this under a "GNOME on Xorg"
session works fine. For a user switching from the Xorg session to the
Wayland session, this is regression, which we want to avoid.
This commit fixes this by creating and passing an xauth file to Xwayland when
mutter starts it. Just like gdm or startx pass a xauth file to Xorg when they
start Xorg.

`cogl_util_memmem` was used as a wrapper in case `memmem` wasn't
defined, but since commit 46942c24 these are required. In case of
`memmem`, we didn't explicitly require this in the meson build files, so
add that as well.

Add the ability to add tracing instrumentation to the code. When
enabled, trace entries will generate a file with timing information
that will be processable by sysprof for generating visualization of
traces over time.
While enabled by default at compile time, it is possible to disable the
expansion of the macros completely by passing --disable-tracing to
./configure.
Tracing is so far only actually done if actually enabled on explicitly
specified threads.
This will be used by Mutter passing the write end of a pipe, where the
read end is sent to Sysprof itself via the D-Bus method 'Capture()'.
By passing that, we have to detect EPIPE that is sent when Sysprof stops
recording. Fortunately, we already ignore the signal at meta_init(), so
no need to add a custom signal handler.

Add debug flags based on meson's `debug` option instead of `buildtype`.
This allows custom build configurations to behave like a debug or release build.
Add `-fno-omit-frame-pointer` to Mutter/Cogl. Not to Clutter though, as that would
require more changes to how Clutter's gir is created
Remove `-DG_DISABLE_CAST_CHECKS` from Clutter in debug builds
Add `-DG_DISABLE_CHECKS`, `-DG_DISABLE_ASSERT` and `-DG_DISABLE_CAST_CHECKS` to all
non-debug builds but `plain`, which explicitly should not have any compile flags
Use `cc.get_supported_arguments`, so it becomes more obvious to the user which flags
are set during compilation

We've been using configure_file's `install` property for some time now, but this
has been officially supported and works as expected only since meson 0.50, so,
bump version to avoid warnings and ensure the behavior is the one we want.

Pango functions pango_unichar_direction() and pango_find_base_dir() have been
deprecated in pango 1.44, since these are used mostly clutter and gtk, copy the
code from pango and use fribidi dependency explicitly.
This is the same strategy used by Gtk.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/merge_requests/583
Clutter exports symbols explicitly using `CLUTTER_EXPORT`, so everything should
be hidden by default, unless exposed.
Usage of `gnu_symbol_visibility` needs a version bump to meson 0.48.0

cogl-path uses types from glu.h, but to avoid a build dependency on glu,
it kept a minified copy of glu.h in tree. Drop this file and just use
the actual glu.h. To avoid linking to libGLU.so, just use the
includepath, instead of actually adding glu as a real dependency.
This means we can remove an includepath meant to make it possible to
include <GL/glu.h>.
The 'cursor-mode', which currently is limited to RecordMonitor(), allows
the user to either do screen casts where the cursor is hidden, embedded
in the framebuffer, or sent as PipeWire stream metadata.
The latter allows the user to get cursor updates sent, including the
cursor sprite, without requiring a stage paint each frame. Currently
this is done by using the cursor sprite texture, and either reading
directly from, or drawing to an offscreen framebuffer which is read from
instead, in case the texture is scaled.

If a library is provided in the positional arguments, then meson
defaults to installing the .pc file in a 'pkgconfig' subdirectory
in the library's install location. We want the files in the regular
$libdir/pkgconfig rather than $libdir/mutter-$api/pkgconfig, so
specify the location explicitly in the parameters.

This makes the build less verbose, as all .gir generation except for
clutters didn't pass --quiet to g-ir-scanner, making it output long
linking commands. Do this by adding a common introspection_args
variable.
While at it, put -U_GNU_SOURCE in there too, as it was always passed
everywhere as without it the scanner would log warnings.
This is the last remaining feature necessary to achieve
parity with the Autotools build.
A few changes were made to the install locations of the
tests, in order to better acomodate them in Meson:
* Tests are now installed under a versioned folder (e.g.
/usr/share/installed-tests/mutter-4)
* The mutter-cogl.test file is now generated from an .in
file, instead of a series of $(echo)s from within Makefile.
Notice that those tests need very controlled environments
to run correctly. Mutter installed tests, for example, will
failed when running under a regular session due to D-Bus
failing to acquire the ScreenCast and/or RemoteScreen names.
It cuts out some of the GObject boilerplate, and gives us g_autoptr()
support for free.
Since this changes the ABI, we also need to bump the libmutter API
version.
