signal handler id overflow possibility

["H. W. Wan" <hwwan80 gmail com>]

Hi list,

   In glib/gobject/gsignal.c, the sequence number of signal handler is
monotonic increasing , there is no code trying to decrement the
sequence number  or reusing the sequence id after the signal handler is
disconnected. It is assumed signal handler id won't be overflow ( from
looking at the first few line of handler_new() /zero is treating as
invalid id without setting handler id to 1 when it overflow back to
zero/doesn't try to check for duplicate handler id in case it overflow
and set to value which the handler_id is in used). It may be practical
impossible for GUI application which do not always do
g_signal_connect/g_signal_

disconnect repeatly. However, when gobject is more frequently used for long running network application, overflowing the handler id maybe possible. For example, an network server may try to do g_signal_connect/disconnect on "connection closed" signal everytime an client is connected/disconnect. Is there any plan to fix this?
