Hi Costantino,

- Why would you bother with returning a String from
native_gtk_check_version()? It is effectively ignored later, so you
could as well return a boolean value from the native function.
Sometime modifying native code may be annoying, therefore I return the
same output as the original C function "gtk_check_version(..)" for the
case that in the future we need these additional information also in
our java Toolkit.
Anyway if you find this disturbing, I can return in the java method a
string as well as in the C function.
I think there's no use for this string on the Java side. I'd rather
return a jboolean from the native method.
- Note that g_thread_get_initialized() is available since glib-2.20
only. Is there a way to enable the new filechooser on older systems?
I missed that particular... We could use "g_thread_supported()" that
does exactly the same and exists longer.
But it's a macro, not a function and I wasn't able to dynamically load
it with dlsym.
Do you know if it's possible to do that?
Definitely it's not possible to load a macro with dlsym(). You could try
and see what function call(s) the macro expands to, and load pointers
to those functions.
Alternatively, we could check the GTK version before to call this
function and for the older versions the shortcut "Search" will
disapper.
This is quite acceptable, too.
Thanks!
