I guess the examples can be modified so that the plug-ins that don't exist on
Maemo are not used. That should fix the build. I wonder which plug-ins can be
used as an example "audio" player. Right now the ogg plug-ins are used.
Ultimately, we could remove the audio player examples if necessary.

Yes, there is other code that throws Glib::Exception. I think that #ifdefs
have already been included in those cases. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Again, the plugins are a _runtime_ dependency. So there's no need to use
different plugins in the example just to fix the build.

Are you using -fnoexceptions?

------- Comment #3 from Rolf Gebhardt 2009-05-13 21:39 UTC -------
It does not seem a bug to me at all. It's common practice in C++ to have
non-const member functions modifying an object and returning a reference to the
modified objects. This allows you to do additional calls to similar member
functions on the same object. Think of all the operator+=, operator-= and the
like. The typical pattern for such a member function is something like:
SomeClass &SomeClass::some_method (const SomeClass &other)
{
// modify *this depending on other
...
return *this;
}
The solution provided above would not work, because it returns a reference to
the local instance "intersection" which will be destroyed when the function
returns. The caller will not be able to savely use the return value of the
function.
A function behaving the way you want it to should have a signature like:
Rectangle Rectangle::intersect(const Rectangle& src2) const
That means: It should be const, because it does not modify the object and it
has to return a newly created Rectangle by value, because there is no surviving
Rectangle which could be returned by reference.

Ah, that's right. The source files for the plug-ins are included in the
tarball so building should be no problem.

I don't know so I'm probably wrong.

------- Comment #4 from Jonathon Jongsma (jonner) 2009-05-13 22:06 UTC -------
You're correct that my example code above would not compile because I
accidentally left the return type as a reference and forgot to add const. I
was not attempting to provide working code, i was simply trying to illustrate
an alternate API.
In addition, the point of this bug report was not really about whether the
current implementation is *wrong* (I know there are valid reasons for returning
a reference to a modified object in some situations), the point of the bug
report was about the fact that you *cannot* calculate an intersection without
modifying the calling object with the current API, and that this makes certain
things quite awkward. If you want to calculate an intersection of two
rectangles without changing the original rectangles, you need to do manual
copies like:
Gdk::Rectangle A(...);
Gdk::Rectangle B(...);
// now I want to calculate the intersection of A and B without
// changing either A or B, so I need to make a copy
Gdk::Rectangle C(A);
C.intersect (B); // now C is the intersection of A and B
That seems remarkably awkward for a simple use case. In addition, there is
currently no way to calculate an intersection of two const rectangles.

Sorry. I missunderstood your intention. I thought you wanted to change the code
without changing the return type (I think it would compile but it would crash
at runtime).
Of course your right, that there should be a way to do an intersection without
modifying the operands.

One thing I forgot, though, is that plug-ins that don't exist on the build
machine are not included in the build, so errors might come up in examples that
use a plug-in that does not exist on the build machine.
This was done in part because if a plug-in does not exist and it is included in
the build, no program would execute because when wrap_init() runs, it would
fail when it tries to initialize the missing plug-in (see the long-winded bug
#565454 : http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=565454).

Clarification: If this is a maemo option, I haven't had the time to try
building there yet, though I'll try later to get a sense of how building works
there and see if any errors can be fixed.
