Being new to both Vala and GObjects I hope you will forgive me if my questions are obvious.
Is it acceptable for a constructor to throw an error. ie. public ResourceFile.from_file (string rc_filename) throws GLib.FileError { string sz_data; if (FileUtils.test (rc_filename, FileTest.IS_REGULAR)) { if (!FileUtils.get_contents(rc_filename, out sz_data)) { throw new GLib.FileError.FAILED (_("could not load %s.\n".printf(rc_filename))); } ResourceFile.from_data(sz_data); // Is this OK to cascade? } } Also, it is acceptable to cascade the constructor from above. public ResourceFile.from_data (string rc_data) { GLib.Object (data: rc_data); } If there's a better way, I would appreciate the lesson. -- Regards, -Brian _______________________________________________ vala-list mailing list vala-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/vala-list
