I'm trying to understand the Signals in GObject and I have lot of questions not covered by the doc:
1) The text "when they register a closure to be invoked upon the signal emission" is not clear what is it a "closure" or what is the diference with a callback 2) if a signature for a callback is: return_type function_callback (gpointer instance, ... , gpointer user_data); How do I know If is it correct to have callback declaration: void function_callback (GObjectMyObject *object, gboolen val, MyType type), and how to create a new signal that sends the data needed by my callback 3) There's no more information about "c_marshaller" parameter, where they are defined or witch I can use on a given situation. Does I need to select a marshalled that fits my callback declaration to get the correct data? 4) On the "Detail" section the text: "Their detailed_signal parameter is a string which identifies the name of the signal to connect to", then when I create (g_signal_new) a signal name do I need to use a form: "signal_name::detail" not just "signal_name"? what about the text "signal named notify::cursor_position will actually connect to the signal named notify with the cursor_position name", this is redundant and unclear, what will be the correct name of my signal? 2007/2/8, Stefan Kost <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > hi, > > yesterday I committed a first batch of cleanups to the GObject docs. > http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/gobject/index.html > > IMHO this is a crucial documentation for the GNOME platform and it can > be improved further.
