We commonly don't use the glib typedefs for char/short/int/long,
but their C types directly.
$ git grep '\<g\(char\|short\|int\|long\|float\|double\)\>' | wc -l

$ git grep '\<\(char\|short\|int\|long\|float\|double\)\>' | wc -l

One could argue that using the glib typedefs is preferable in
public API (of our glib based libnm library) or where it clearly
is related to glib, like during
g_object_set (obj, PROPERTY, (gint) value, NULL);
However, that argument does not seem strong, because in practice we don't
follow that argument today, and seldomly use the glib typedefs.
Also, the style guide for this would be hard to formalize, because
"using them where clearly related to a glib" is a very loose suggestion.
Also note that glib typedefs will always just be typedefs of the
underlying C types. There is no danger of glib changing the meaning
of these typedefs (because that would be a major API break of glib).
A simple style guide is instead: don't use these typedefs.
No manual actions, I only ran the bash script:
FILES=($(git ls-files '*.[hc]'))
sed -i \
-e 's/\<g\(char\|short\|int\|long\|float\|double\)\>\( [^ ]\)/\1\2/g' \
-e 's/\<g\(char\|short\|int\|long\|float\|double\)\> /\1 /g' \
-e 's/\<g\(char\|short\|int\|long\|float\|double\)\>/\1/g' \
"${FILES[@]}"

With some manual adjustments on spots that Cocci didn't catch for
reasons unknown.
Thanks to the marvelous effort of the GNU compiler developer we can now
spare a couple of bits that could be used for more important things,
like this commit message. Standards commitees yet have to catch up.
We commonly only allow tabs at the beginning of a line, not
afterwards. The reason for this style is so that the code
looks formated right with tabstop=4 and tabstop=8.
Originally, the "callouts" directory contained various programs
that NetworkManager would call, for example the dhcp helper.
For a while, it only contains nm-dispatcher. Thus rename the directory
to indicate that it's for dispatcher.
