Autoconnect does not work in GTK 1.2 on Windows. I ported libglade 0.17The manual signal connection functions do not make use of dynamic symbol export, so manual connect working and autoconnect failing would indicate that there _is_ a signal export problem. Whether it can be solved or not, is another matter.
to Windows, and manual connect worked, so I know it wasn't a symbol export
problem, but autoconnect never worked. I don't know what works in GTK
2.x on Windows.
The code for performing signal autoconnection hasn't changed substantially since 0.17, so if things work with 2.0 it is more likely due to improvements in glib's gmodule code.
There is no plan to remove the manual connect functions. If libglade could only perform connections based on dynamic symbol lookup, then it would be useless to language bindings (and as it happens, I care about language bindings :)If it is reliable, are the other glade_xml_connect_* functions really
necessary any more? Why would you use them? I think this needs to be
documented better.
Quite aside from the not-working-on-all-platforms problem, I've seen
applications that modified callback chains on the fly to change
application behavior. This technique has some advantages and depends on
glade_xml_connect_*, so those functions should not be removed.
