Hi,
I'm trying to wrap the new GtkPlacesSidebar api. I've run into a few
problems, so I've read a little bit how my problem has been resolved for
other classes. Still I'm not sure what to do about the following (maybe
it would have been better to split this email into more pieces, sorry):
- I thought that whenever a C pointer is used in the C api, a RefPtr
should be put in place in gtkmm. Is that true? Does it apply almost
everywhere? I've found widgets that do not follow this rule and they use
C++ plain pointers instead.
Objects of classes that derive from Gtk::Object are not put in
Glib::RefPtr<>s. I'm not sure why.
- The GtkPlacesSidebar struct is defined in the .c file. This forces me
to add the no_default_handler keyword at the end of the _WRAP_SIGNAL
macro. I've checked that not all Gtk classes are defined in the .c, and
most are defined in the .h. Should we notify this issue to the C folks?
I don't think it's a problem that GtkPlacesSidebar is defined in the .c
file. It *is* a problem that GtkPlacesSidebarClass is defined in the .c
file.
GtkAccelMapClass is also defined in the .c file, but it does not contain
signals or virtual functions, and then it's no problem.
GtkPlacesSidebarClass is probably worth a bug report or a question on
one of the gtk mailing lists. You might also ask them to put more
specific data types in the registration of the signals. It would make
life easier for you. E.g. in the registration of open_location the
parameter /location/ has type G_TYPE_OBJECT, but in
GtkPlacesSidebarClass::open_location() its type is GFile*. I don't
understand why it's not G_TYPE_FILE in the call to g_signal_new().
- What can be done when a signal handler declares one of its arguments
as a gpointer? I've found little information on this. The signal handler
I'm thinking of is in GtkPlacesSidebar and that argument is actually a
GSList.
- How can I create a const version of this:
#m4 _CONVERSION(`GSList*',`std::vector< Glib::RefPtr<Gio::File>
',`Glib::SListHandler< Glib::RefPtr<Gio::File> >::slist_to_vector($3,
Glib::OWNERSHIP_DEEP)')
_WRAP_METHOD(std::vector< Glib::RefPtr<Gio::File> > list_shortcuts(),
gtk_places_sidebar_list_shortcuts)
Thank you very much in advance. I hope not many of my questions are
solved in the docs; I've checked them, I promise.
Regards,
Juan.
