Re: [Vala] Proposal for asynchronous DBus calls.

2008-10-18 Thread Yu Feng
My interest is more on using async calls than implementing libraries that support async calls. It is more close to Jurg's idea. Studying the framework of GIO async and DBus async, I found complexity there. Those two asyncs are already different and if we want to support more async libraries, the

Hi all, I would like to start a discussion about a small syntactic sugar addition to Vala, that would in my opinion slightly improve the situation with asynchronous code. The following code sample should be self explanatory about my proposal: delegate bool HttpResponseCallback (string response);

I like it. Might get confusing if someone wanted to mix direct delegates and anonymous ones though. -- Christian On Sat, Oct 18, 2008 at 4:14 PM, Yu Feng <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Sat, 2008-10-18 at 22:57 +0200, Ali Sabil wrote: >> Hi all, >> >> I would like to start a discussion about a sm
