Next part is reimplementing of what I call "standard directories API".
g_get_system_config_dirs g_get_user_config_dir g_get_home_dir g_get_user_special_dir(G_USER_DIRECTORY_MUSIC) Windows part looks easy there are plenty of standard functions with different levels of obsolescence for that. For Unix version I need some assistance. g_get_home_dir() works differently depending on GLib version. Newer GLib versions check $HOME first and if it's empty use getpwnam_r() to obtain home directory for currently user. Old versions go straight into using getpwnam_r(). What approach should we use? Second issue: GLib uses two flavors of getpwnam_r() (guarded by HAVE_POSIX_GETPWUID_R and HAVE_NONPOSIX_GETPWUID_R in the code). What should we do with that? https://developer.gnome.org/glib/2.38/glib-Miscellaneous-Utility-Functions.html#g-get-home-dir https://git.gnome.org/browse/glib/tree/glib/gutils.c For reimplementing g_get_user_special_dir(G_USER_DIRECTORY_MUSIC) I think we need to parse "user-dirs.dirs" file. I didn't any reference documentation on this. However I've found the source http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xdg/xdg-user-dirs/tree/xdg-user-dir-lookup.c I think this could be reused as-is, it does not look very efficient, but this function is going to be called at most once after all. One more question what encoding is this file supposed to have? Bonus question: In the MPD code AllocatedPath::FromUTF8() is called on the results of GLib calls, however I did not find any conversion of encoding in the GLib code (see gutils.c code above). Maybe I'm missing something or maybe this is a bug. -- Denis ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Sponsored by Intel(R) XDK Develop, test and display web and hybrid apps with a single code base.
