Re: Catalog of GObject-specific design patterns?
Hi, The AgsApplicationContext acts as a base entry point to your application. It is an extensible singleton where functions are added by interfaces. In order to use libags-thread.so.0 you have to implement AgsConcurrencyProvider provider in your application context. Likewise for libags-audio.so.0 you have to implement AgsConcurrencyProvider provider and AgsSoundProvider because it depends on thread routines. Both library use the very same base class but you can use libags-thread.so.0 without ever knowing about audio. Here are some implementations: * AgsXorgApplicationContext * AgsAudioApplicationContext * AgsServerApplicationContext The advantage of having a application context is you can provide your very own extensions and you just have to derivate AgsApplicationContext and implement wished interfaces. There is another interface in development AgsServiceProvider if you do J2EE you might have seen such as using Spring. AgsRecallFactory is an advanced factory pattern as you put in a string you get a list of objects back. It does instantiate AgsRecall sub-types you can view it as a kind of effect processor. Managers are singletons, too. They usually keep track of objects. In general you can add, remove and lookup objects of it. It is really common to use hashmaps in its implementation.

A bad example in Devhelp: https://git.gnome.org/browse/devhelp/tree/src/dh-window.c?h=3.25.2#n1357 The function creates a new tab and appends it to the GtkNotebook. vbox is the content of the tab, which contains web_view and info_bar. In other DhWindow functions, we have access to the GtkNotebook, but from the GtkNotebook we have access only to the vbox. So with the vbox we can call g_object_get_data() to get the web_view and info_bar. This is a typical example where it is better to create a new class: called for example DhTab, a subclass of GtkBox or GtkGrid. The web_view and info_bar are simply stored as instance variables in DhTab. This would also have the nice benefit to have less code in DhWindow, because DhWindow would delegate some of its work to DhTab. For other use-cases, creating a subclass is a too heavy solution, or sometimes creating a subclass is even not possible/desirable as I explained in my blog post. An example where creating a subclass would be a too heavy solution: to implement a context/right-click menu, attaching some information to menu items, so when the ::activate signal is called we have the required info to implement the action. For instance for spell-checking: the context menu to choose another word: https://git.gnome.org/browse/gspell/tree/gspell/gspell-context-menu.c?h=1.5.3#n258 > At last, I take this opportunity to share my bookmark post on GObject.

Re: Catalog of GObject-specific design patterns?
Hi Sébastien, thx for this post ! I'm a newby with GObject, and I'm always happy to learn bits here and there. As for using the `g_object_set_data()` like you do, it's something I always tried to stay away from, because it seems to me that everything becomes possible with that, and there's probably plenty of mistakes to be made ;) On the other hand, there must be some situations where it's the only solution. I'd be curious to know what the old-timers think about it, when to use it and when to avoid it. At last, I take this opportunity to share my bookmark post on GObject. I collected all the interesting bits I found on the Net while learning from zero, plus added some personal thoughts, and in the end it's just a mess, but learners might find interesting bits there, who knows. https://github.com/elboulangero/goodvibes/wiki/GObject-Introduction Cheers, Arnaud On 08/10/2017 07:23 PM, Sébastien Wilmet wrote: > Hi, > > I've documented my first GObject design pattern: > https://blogs.gnome.org/swilmet/2017/08/09/gobject-design-pattern-attached-class-extension/ > > Question to the old-timers: do you know any other GObject-specific > design pattern?

Re: Catalog of GObject-specific design patterns?
Hi Sébastien, I use some patterns like: http://git.savannah.nongnu.org/cgit/gsequencer.git/tree/ags/audio/ags_recall_factory.h http://git.savannah.nongnu.org/cgit/gsequencer.git/tree/ags/plugin/ags_lv2_manager.h ... Or having an application context: http://git.savannah.nongnu.org/cgit/gsequencer.git/tree/ags/X/ags_xorg_application_context.h http://git.savannah.nongnu.org/cgit/gsequencer.git/tree/ags/thread/ags_concurrency_provider.h http://git.savannah.nongnu.org/cgit/gsequencer.git/tree/ags/audio/ags_sound_provider.h But what GObject makes really special are it's properties and events.
