float params of a gobject
Hi, I'm trying to define a gobject class with a floating number property. In the init class procedure I define the property the following way: param_spec = g_param_spec_float (width /* name */, _(Icon Width) /* nick */, _(The width of the svg icon) /* blurb */, G_MINFLOAT /* minimum */, G_MAXFLOAT /* maximum */, 0.0 /* default_value */, (GParamFlags)(G_PARAM_READABLE | G_PARAM_WRITABLE)); g_object_class_install_property (g_object_class, PROP_WIDTH, param_spec); This compiles fine, but when running the test program it raises a glib exception: (test:5073): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_param_spec_float: assertion `default_value = minimum default_value = maximum' failed (test:5073): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_class_install_property: assertion `G_IS_PARAM_SPEC (pspec)' failed But default value 0.0 is equal G_MINFLOAT and lesser than G_MAXFLOAT, isn't it? Please I need a bit of help: What am I doing wrong? Or is it a glib bug? By the way the object is being created with gob, but I believe that the generated code is ok.

GtkClipboard and MS Windows port
Hello, as I am trying to port a program written in C using Gtk+ on a Debian GNU/Linux to MS Windows (using the MingGW32 compiler set) I have a problem using GtkClipboard. The program should simply do copy/paste stuff with simple text. While I can happily use the X Window selection mechanisms (PRIMARY and CLIPBOARD) on my GNU/Linux box, the copy/paste stuff does not work with the MS Windows executable. This is the error message that I get before even trying to use the clipboard : Gdk-WARNING ** gdk_selection-win32.c:1068 OpenClipboard failed : Handle de fenêtre non valide which means that the window handle is not valid. Now, if I go to the gdk_selection-win32.c file at line 1068 I find the following (see arrow on the right-hand side margin below) : void gdk_win32_selection_add_targets (GdkWindow *owner, GdkAtom selection, gint n_targets, GdkAtom *targets) { HWND hwnd; guint formatid; gint i; GSList *convertable_formats, *format; gboolean has_set_dib = FALSE, has_real_dib = FALSE; #ifdef G_ENABLE_DEBUG if (_gdk_debug_flags GDK_DEBUG_DND) { gchar *sel_name = gdk_atom_name (selection); g_print (gdk_win32_selection_add_targets: %p: %s: , owner ? GDK_WINDOW_HWND (owner) : NULL, sel_name); g_free (sel_name); for (i = 0; i n_targets; i++) { gchar *tgt_name = gdk_atom_name (targets[i]); g_print (%s , tgt_name); g_free (tgt_name); } g_print (\n); } #endif if (selection != GDK_SELECTION_CLIPBOARD) return; if (owner != NULL) { if (GDK_WINDOW_DESTROYED (owner)) return; hwnd = GDK_WINDOW_HWND (owner); } if (!API_CALL (OpenClipboard, (hwnd))) -- line 1068 return; So it seems that the error message is produced upon execution of the API_CALL (OpenClipboard, (hwnd)) call, as if the hwnd handle returned by GDK_WINDOW_HWND (owner) were invalid. Does anybody encounter this problem ? How could I fix it ? Thank you for your ideas, Cheers, Filippo -- Please, deactivate the HTML mail feature: use simple text mail for me.

This would render the widgets newest-to-oldest, thus letting the older ones overpaint the newer.

Notes: * This is unstable development release. While it has had fairly extensive testing, there are likely bugs remaining to be found. This release should not be used in production. * Installing this version will overwrite your existing copy of Pango-1.12. If you have problems, you'll need to reinstall Pango-1.12 * Bugs should be reported to http://bugzilla.gnome.org. About Pango === Pango is a library for layout and rendering of text, with an emphasis on internationalization. Pango can be used anywhere that text layout is needed, though most of the work on Pango so far has been done in the context of the GTK+ widget toolkit. Pango forms the core of text and font handling for GTK+-2.x. Pango is designed to be modular; the core Pango layout engine can be used with different font backends. There are three basic backends, with multiple options for rendering with each. - Client side fonts using the FreeType and fontconfig libraries. Rendering can be with with Cairo or Xft libraries, or directly to an in-memory buffer with no additional libraries. - Native fonts on Microsoft Windows. (Optionally using Uniscribe for complex-text handling). Rendering can be done via Cairo or directly using the native Win32 API. - Native fonts on MacOS X, rendering via Cairo. The integration of Pango with Cairo (http://cairographics.org) provides a complete solution with high quality text handling and graphics rendering. Dynamically loaded modules then handle text layout for particular combinations of script and font backend. Pango ships with a wide selection of modules, including modules for Hebrew, Arabic, Hangul, Thai, and a number of Indic scripts. Virtually all of the world's major scripts are supported. As well as the low level layout rendering routines, Pango includes PangoLayout, a high level driver for laying out entire blocks of text, and routines to assist in editing internationalized text. More information about Pango is available from http://www.pango.org/. Pango 1.13.1 depends on version 2.10.0 or newer of the GLib library and version 1.1.2 or newer of the cairo library (if the cairo backend is desired); more information about GLib and cairo can be found at http://www.gtk.org/ and http://cairographics.org/ respectively. Overview of changes between 1.13.2 and 1.13.3 == * Improved build system. Using gnome-autogen.sh now. (gnome-common needed for bootstrapping) * Improved documentation.

I talked to nvidia driver developers about this issue and they told me that this is the case (I also saw a lot of time spent in malloc routines). This initially brought me to work in this a bit. They said that they'll include an option to disable pixmap-punting, however then a lot fo time will be spent inside the driver and the GPU for allocating the pixmap in VRAM. Its quite common that such surface-puntnig optimizations are in the drivers - I would not wonder if ATI would do the same in their propietary drivers. Thats why I would be really interrested about results on ATI chips (open and proprietary drivers) as well as onboard gpus. I think you misunderstood me; I'm not saying that time spent allocating pixmaps to video ram is a problem, I'm saying that the performance of Cairo will be very different to video ram as compared to system ram, and allocating many megabytes of persistent double-buffers, can easily change what gets in system ram and what in video ram. Now, maybe the nVidia drivers/hardware have problems with allocating pixmaps; my expectation and experience is that allocating a pixmap is much less expensive than the rest of an expose operation; but if the nvidia drivers do something heavyweight like flushing the GPU pipeline, who knows. (As a general philosophy: it's hard to optimize GTK+ for a black box like the proprietary nVidia drivers; I think GTK+ should do things that work well with the open source drivers, and let nVidia optimize for GTK+ if their drivers have problems with that.) But when keeping in mind that sexpose should happen in not more than 50-75ms I still think allocating and deallocating 12mb of pimaps (gftp) for a single expose is simply too expensive. I very much doubt that time for allocating pixmaps is proportional to the number of pixmaps in them. Also, many double-buffered toolkits do it the same way - Java Swing does not even release the pixmaps if windows are minimize. Not a convincing argument as to why GTK+ should do something. You have to keep in mind that many systems still don't have a lot of video memory, so if all windows in the system start keeping large back buffers, the effect may well be exhaustion of all available video memory. I would like to see a design which maybe would allow different approaches (maybe based on user descisions), so everybody would have the choice. While it's cool you are trying out different ways to do things, I think putting any code in GTK+ in advance of more careful performance investigation would be a mistake. Try some micro benchmarks: how long does allocating pixmaps take? Does that depend on size? Try your gtk-bench tests with no other windows open, then try them again after allocating 100MB of 100x100 pixmaps to run yourself out of video memory, etc. (Make sure to shut your browser before doing tests like this, Firefox is not shy about consuming video memory) Owen P.S. - using a single pixmap to do exposes for an entire set of subwindows of a toplevel window does have some advantages, like better redisplay, so it could be interesting to investigate, even if keeping persistent double buffers around is a bad idea. - in the composited architecture, there already *are* persistent double buffers for all toplevel windows, so investigating using those in some way could be interesting. What you have to avoid is the compositing manager doing tons of extra work in this case. signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part ___ gtk-devel-list mailing list gtk-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-devel-list
