Cloning the source file is a bad idea. If it's not possible to implement it all inside GSocket (or if it would add a ton of kdbus-specific stuff), then it should be done as a subclass of GSocket. > Put there ioctl's to communicate with kdbus, and > also make out version of objectc from gsocketclient.c and > gsocketconnection.c, especially of type GIOStream. You don't want to do anything with GSocketClient; that's just a helper for creating TCP connections. Depending on exactly what you need (I'm not really familiar with kdbus), it might be that GSocketConnection isn't a good match, and so making a new "GKdbusConnection" or something might make sense. There is also a bug open about adding control message support to the existing GSocketConnection (https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=618556, although the source code link from there is long-dead). -- Dan _______________________________________________ gtk-devel-list mailing list gtk-devel-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-devel-list
