The mysterious constants follow the common usage pattern. For Bar in
package Foo, header:
#define FOO_BAR_ERROR foo_bar_error_quark()
GQuark foo_bar_error_quark(void) G_GNUC_CONST;
typedef enum {
FOO_BAR_ERROR_BAD_WHATEVER...
} FooBarError;
and code:
GQuark
foo_bar_error_quark(void)
{
return g_quark_from_static_string("foo-bar-error-quark");
}
You then do
g_set_error(error, FOO_BAR_ERROR, FOO_BAR_ERROR_BAD_WHATEVER, ...);
