hey guys,
i've started porting neko-systools to GTK for linux (and other OSs). In
contrast to win/mac desktops, GTK has to be initialized once (gtk_init). I'm
proposing an initialization method in the "misc" module, and a static variable
in api.c a la:
> static int _systools_is_initialized = 0;
> static value misc_initialize() {
> if( _systools_is_initialized==0 ) {
> systools_misc_initialize();
> _systools_is_initialized = 1;
> }
> return val_null;
> }
> DEFINE_PRIM(misc_initialize,0);
any systools class requiring initialization would get an __init__ method like:
> private static function __init__() : Void {
> Misc.initialize();
> }
windows and mac's sytools_misc_initialize() would be an empty stub. is that a
proper way to do this? any thoughts about it? if ok, i'd check this into svn.
