Perhaps easiest to have the latest version (gtk3) be 'gtk' and the previous version 'gtk2'? -- Regards, Olav ___ gtk-devel-list mailing list gtk-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-devel-list
Re: [gobject-introspection] How should name collisions be resolved

Yeah, this fits into a general class of corner case restrictions from a language mapping. Similar to adding methods to a GObject interface is OK in C, but an API break in the obvious Java and .NET mapping. I think it'd be reasonable to add warnings for this to the introspection scanner, but that doesn't help all the existing code out there like GTK3 that just got released. Related to this is the issue of language keywords; for example you could call a method gtk_widget_switch () or something fine in C, but then you end up with mywidget.switch() which is a problem since it's a keyword. > What are peoples opinions on taking care of this in the gir format and > using the "renameto" feature to avoid the collision in all languages? > Is this feasible?

It has the compound problem that all of a sudden the *old* name isn't accessible, and there was a possibility something was using it. ___ gtk-devel-list mailing list gtk-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-devel-list

How about these two patches for GTK3 and GTK2 respectively? Not tested, building now.
