*** Bug 69605 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
I'm less keen on this than I am on cleaning up more closely Telepathy-related things. Having extra code in util.c doesn't cost us much, it doesn't "paint us into a corner" in the same way that actual Telepathy APIs might, and it doesn't make subtle bugs more likely in the same way that not using TpClientFactory can.

Does it cost us anything? If you want to get rid of it, step 1 is to implement it in terms of its replacement or analyze why that isn't safe, IMO. > * tp_value_array_build, tp_value_array_unpack, tp_value_array_free: Not > useful with GVariant.

Its semantics aren't quite the same and having the user-data is pretty convenient. It doesn't cost us much. Many things that are using TpWeakRef should ideally be using GTask, if anything. A large part of the motivation for TpWeakRef working the way it does was "be able to implement our deprecated pre-GAsyncResult APIs in terms of a GAsyncResult". Hopefully most of that has gone away. > * tp_clear_pointer: Can be deprecated/removed if we don't mind the extra > threadsafeness of g_clear_pointer. What does it cost us? We could turn it into a #define for g_clear_pointer. > * tp_clear_object: Can be deprecated/removed. What does it cost us? But, yes. > * tp_simple_async_report_success_in_idle: We should deprecate/remove in > favor of GTask API. One day, but that day is not today IMO.

No, this is Telepathy-API-specific. > * tp_utf8_make_valid: Still not in glib: > https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=610969 Keep it. > We also have util-internal that can be cleaned: > > * _tp_implement_finish_*: We should use GTask instead which is easier to > implement _finish() functions. Please don't spend a lot of time on it, or block 1.0 on it. I agree that new code should be GTask. > * _tp_object_list_copy: I think g_list_copy_deep(list, g_object_ref) should > be good enough now.

I'm taking this off the list of blockers. Having these bits and pieces of API doesn't constrain our design: at worst, it makes our shared library fractionally larger than it needs to be.
