Notice the header decl says 'padding' is private hence why it is
not documented.
struct _GActionEntry
{
const gchar *name;
void (* activate) (GSimpleAction *action,
GVariant *parameter,
gpointer user_data);
const gchar *parameter_type;
const gchar *state;
void (* change_state) (GSimpleAction *action,
GVariant *value,
gpointer user_data);
/*< private >*/
gsize padding[3];
};
The purpose of this 'padding' entry is to reserve space in the struct
for future usage. Apps should never touch the padding field, since it
can change in future. ie that 3 element array can turn into three
separate public fields later, and then the compound initializer above
would be invalid.
The right way to declare this is using named initializers:
{ .name = "shutdown", .activate = activate_action },
{ .name = "reboot", .activate = activate_action },
With regards,
Daniel
