i don't think a function contract is anything worth if it depends on build time options. if there is any contract breach here, it was the introduction of G_DISABLE_ASSERT (Thu Feb 19 01:11:48 1998 in gtk+-0.99.4 ;) however, due to the g_warn_if_fail variant having quite a following, i intend to change my proposal anyway. so persuing this argument is moot. > - Owen --- ciaoTJ _______________________________________________ gtk-devel-list mailing list gtk-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-devel-list
