Re: [clutter] ClutterScript item list
I've uploaded a proposed patch to bug #1099 that would add this function. I took your suggestion and made it a list of GObject pointers, not a list of IDs. I've done very basic testing on this patch, but nothing extensive. I'd have liked to do a diff versus the latest SVN version and just uploaded an SVN diff, but I'm having trouble building the latest SVN. I think I'm missing some kind of autoconf-related tools, but the error message is unhelpful. Anyway, it means I couldn't easily test if I did that. So this patch is against the very similar-looking 0.8.0 versions of clutter-script.[ch]. I apologize for my patch-fu being weak on this one :-) --- On Tue, 8/12/08, Noah Gibbs [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: From: Noah Gibbs [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [clutter] ClutterScript item list To: Emmanuele Bassi [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: clutter@o-hand.com Date: Tuesday, August 12, 2008, 12:25 PM --- On Mon, 8/11/08, Emmanuele Bassi [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On Mon, 2008-08-11 at 14:48 -0700, Noah Gibbs wrote: We're looking at a situation where we might get data that is more free-form.

I responded to you in private email about this, and mentioned that I knew some of these issues -- we'll need to be careful about what GObjects we allow to be instantiated, primarily. We're in a situation where we both write the ClutterScript files at my company, and have the ability to vet what type fields are allowed, so I believe that we're reasonably safe on this one. I'm hoping that if you disagree you'll let me know. I can add a method like: gchar **clutter_script_get_ids (ClutterScript *script, gsize *n_ids); which returns a newly allocated, NULL-terminated array of strings. but the ids alone will not give you any detail whatsoever on the object they are assigned to; you'll have to fetch the object and then check what it is. This is true. So it might be more useful to get an array of GObject pointers instead of an array of IDs. I'd be quite happy either way since either would allow me to do what I'm trying to. -- To unsubscribe send a mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To unsubscribe send a mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I hope you do realize the potential security issues that this would entail. We could require that the person writing the ClutterScript file add all of their objects to a named top-level container and ignore everything that isn't in the container, but we'd prefer not to. I still have doubts on the usefulness of this. the UI definition is integral part of an application; ClutterScript doesn't also provide any sort of logic inside the UI definition itself - it's just a definition. If we could get a list of IDs, that would let us get all the objects when/if we wanted them, so that would work. So yes, I mean get a list of all the object IDs currently loaded into a given ClutterScript. Basically, all the object IDs currently in priv-objects. I can add a method like: gchar **clutter_script_get_ids (ClutterScript *script, gsize *n_ids); which returns a newly allocated, NULL-terminated array of strings. but the ids alone will not give you any detail whatsoever on the object they are assigned to; you'll have to fetch the object and then check what it is. and even in that case you'll not know for sure unless you have some sort of introspection - or any way you can trust what you get out of a UI definition string or file. I'd suggest you open a bug on bugzilla.openedhand.com with the API request and a link to this email, so that we can get some discussion and keep track of this. ciao, Emmanuele. --- On Mon, 8/11/08, Emmanuele Bassi [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: From: Emmanuele Bassi [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [clutter] ClutterScript item list To: clutter@o-hand.com Date: Monday, August 11, 2008, 2:42 PM On Mon, 2008-08-11 at 14:34 -0700, Noah Gibbs wrote: Looking at clutter-script.c, it looks like there's a nice little internal hash table (priv-objects) with a list of the objects that were parsed from the file, but you have to know the name of all the objects to get at them. it's expected, since you must have written the UI definition or have control on what you're defining. you're surely not loading random data. or maybe I haven't understood your question.
