Typedef Documentation

◆ Pid

◆ TimeSpan

A value representing an interval of time, in microseconds.

As GTimeSpan, its underlying type is gint64.

Enumeration Type Documentation

◆ anonymous enum

Enumerator
PRIORITY_HIGH 

Use this for high priority event sources. It is not used within GLib or GTK+.

PRIORITY_DEFAULT 

Use this for default priority event sources. In glibmm this priority is used by default when installing timeout handlers with SignalTimeout::connect(). In GDK this priority is used for events from the X server.

PRIORITY_HIGH_IDLE 

Use this for high priority idle functions. GTK+ uses PRIORITY_HIGH_IDLE + 10 for resizing operations, and PRIORITY_HIGH_IDLE + 20 for redrawing operations. (This is done to ensure that any pending resizes are processed before any pending redraws, so that widgets are not redrawn twice unnecessarily.)

PRIORITY_DEFAULT_IDLE 

Use this for default priority idle functions. In glibmm this priority is used by default when installing idle handlers with SignalIdle::connect().

PRIORITY_LOW 

Use this for very low priority background tasks. It is not used within GLib or GTK+.

Function Documentation

◆ add_exception_handler()

sigc::connection Glib::add_exception_handler ( const sigc::slot< void()> &  slot)

Specify a slot to be called when an exception is thrown by a signal handler.

◆ file_set_contents() [1/2]

void Glib::file_set_contents ( const std::string filename,
const gchar contents,
gssize  length 
)

Writes all of contents to a file named filename, with good error checking.

Parameters
filenamename of a file to write contents to, in the GLib file name encoding
contentsstring to write to the file
lengthlength of contents, or -1 if contents is a nul-terminated string

If a file called filename already exists it will be overwritten.

This write is atomic in the sense that it is first written to a temporary file which is then renamed to the final name. Notes:

  1. On Unix, if filename already exists hard links to filename will break. Also since the file is recreated, existing permissions, access control lists, metadata etc. may be lost. If filename is a symbolic link, the link itself will be replaced, not the linked file.
  2. On Windows renaming a file will not remove an existing file with the new name, so on Windows there is a race condition between the existing file being removed and the temporary file being renamed.
  3. On Windows there is no way to remove a file that is open to some process, or mapped into memory. Thus, this function will fail if filename already exists and is open.

If the call was not successful, an exception is thrown. Possible error codes are those in the FileError enumeration.

Since glibmm 2.22:

◆ file_set_contents() [2/2]

void Glib::file_set_contents ( const std::string filename,
const std::string contents 
)

A variant of file_set_contents which accepts a standard C++ string.

Since glibmm 2.22:

◆ get_init_to_users_preferred_locale()

bool Glib::get_init_to_users_preferred_locale ( )

Get the state, set with set_init_to_users_preferred_locale().

Returns
The state, set with set_init_to_users_preferred_locale(); true if set_init_to_users_preferred_locale() has not been called.
Since glibmm 2.58:

◆ get_unichar_from_std_iterator()

gunichar Glib::get_unichar_from_std_iterator ( std::string::const_iterator  pos)

Extract a UCS-4 character from UTF-8 data.

Convert a single UTF-8 (multibyte) character starting at pos to a UCS-4 wide character. This may read up to 6 bytes after the start position, depending on the UTF-8 character width. You have to make sure the source contains at least one valid UTF-8 character.

This is mainly used by the implementation of Glib::ustring::iterator, but it might be useful as utility function if you prefer using std::string even for UTF-8 encoding.

◆ init()

void Glib::init ( )

Initialize glibmm.

Call it before you use other parts of glibmm. You may call it more than once. Calls after the first one have no effect. Glib::init() sets the global locale as specified by set_init_to_users_preferred_locale().

You do not need to call Glib::init() if you are using Gtk::Application or Gio::init(), because they call Glib::init() for you.

See also
set_init_to_users_preferred_locale()
Examples
thread/dispatcher.cc.

◆ make_refptr_for_instance()

template <class T_CppObject >
RefPtr< T_CppObject > Glib::make_refptr_for_instance ( T_CppObject object)

Create a RefPtr<> to an instance of any class that has reference() and unreference() methods, and whose destructor is noexcept (the default for destructors).

In gtkmm, that is anything derived from Glib::ObjectBase, such as Gdk::Pixbuf.

Normal application code should not need to use this. However, this is necessary when implementing create() methods for derived Glib::ObjectBase-derived (not Gtk::Widget-derived) classes, such as derived Gtk::TreeModels.

◆ set_init_to_users_preferred_locale()

void Glib::set_init_to_users_preferred_locale ( bool  state = true)

Instruct Glib::init() which global locale to set.

To have the intended effect, this function must be called before init() is called. Not calling it has the same effect as calling it with state = true.

Note the confusing difference between C locale and "C" locale. The C locale is the locale used by C code, set by std::setlocale(LC_ALL, locale_name). The "C" locale is the classic locale, set by std::setlocale(LC_ALL, "C") or std::locale::global(std::locale::classic()). It's the default global locale in a C or C++ program.

In a mixed C and C++ program, like a program using glibmm, having the C global locale differ from std::locale::global() is error prone. Glib::init() tries to avoid that.

Parameters
stateIf true, init() will set the C and C++ global locale to the user's preferred locale (std::locale::global(std::locale(""))). The user's preferred locale is set in the program's environment, usually with the LANG environment variable.
If false, init() will set the C++ global locale to the C global locale (std::locale::global(std::locale(std::setlocale(LC_ALL, nullptr)))).
Since glibmm 2.58:
