Key functions
gboolean geany_load_module(GeanyPlugin *, GModule *)
What is the GModule* for? Is it a .dll that Geany opened on behalf of
the plugin based on selection in Plugin Manager?
That's the function exported by native (C/C++) plugins that want to
register as plugins with Geany. With my proposal that's the only
function of a plugin that Geany gets through g_module_open(). Since this
only applies to native shared libraries, the corresponding GModule is
passed.
This function is similar to libpeas' peas_register_types().
Is it where "resident" plugins should register their GTypes similar to Peas?
The main reason I asked about it is because it seems to have the same
call time, argument and similar return semantics as the existing GModule
hook `g_module_check_init()`. I get that it passes the plugin struct
too, and has a more useful name, mostly I was just curious about when to
use which one.
What is the expected use of the GModule parameter? I'm curious if it's
useful at all, or just exposing the loader's externals, and maybe
whether if it's only for special use-case, that it might be better to
just use `g_module_open(NULL)` in those place(s).
Cheers,
