Hi all, (Please keep me explicitly CCed, since I’m not subscribed to the list.)
Christian is proposing changing g_object_ref() to be a wrapper macro around the actual function, which propagates type information using GCC’s typeof() extension. https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=790697 It eliminates a class of bugs which are rarely seen, but a pain to detect manually. (Passing one type into g_object_ref() and then assigning the result to a completely unrelated type: essentially an invalid cast which is indirected through g_object_ref() so the compiler doesn’t detect it.) This turns out to work quite well on C, but we’re unsure how it will affect C++ and gtkmm. If it’s going to cause problems for gtkmm, please let us know (on the bug report) in the next couple of weeks, otherwise it’ll land. Thanks! Philip
