i don't think that events really need to come from outside in most people's mind. but i do think that the observation about win32 programming and the term "event" is very relevant. its not a good word. > I would favour "sender", "publisher", "broadcaster" for the signal. For the > slot, why not "slot" or "receiver". my main object is that this entire mechanism is about using a callback programming style, something many programmers understand perfectly well. by using nomenclature like "slot", people don't grasp the basic model. --p _______________________________________________ libsigc-list mailing list libsigc-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/libsigc-list
