GIVFuncInfo

GIVFuncInfo — Struct representing a virtual function

Functions

Types and Values

Description

GIVfuncInfo represents a virtual function.

A virtual function is a callable object that belongs to either a GIObjectInfo or a GIInterfaceInfo.

Functions

g_vfunc_info_get_flags ()

GIVFuncInfoFlags
g_vfunc_info_get_flags (GIVFuncInfo *info);

Obtain the flags for this virtual function info. See GIVFuncInfoFlags for more information about possible flag values.

Parameters

info

a GIVFuncInfo

 

Returns

the flags


g_vfunc_info_get_offset ()

gint
g_vfunc_info_get_offset (GIVFuncInfo *info);

Obtain the offset of the function pointer in the class struct. The value 0xFFFF indicates that the struct offset is unknown.

Parameters

info

a GIVFuncInfo

 

Returns

the struct offset or 0xFFFF if it's unknown


g_vfunc_info_get_signal ()

GISignalInfo *
g_vfunc_info_get_signal (GIVFuncInfo *info);

Obtain the signal for the virtual function if one is set. The signal comes from the object or interface to which this virtual function belongs.

Parameters

info

a GIVFuncInfo

 

Returns

the signal or NULL if none set.

g_vfunc_info_get_invoker ()

GIFunctionInfo *
g_vfunc_info_get_invoker (GIVFuncInfo *info);

If this virtual function has an associated invoker method, this method will return it. An invoker method is a C entry point.

Not all virtuals will have invokers.

Parameters

info

a GIVFuncInfo

 

Returns

the GIVFuncInfo or NULL. Free it with g_base_info_unref() when done.

g_vfunc_info_get_address ()

gpointer
g_vfunc_info_get_address (GIVFuncInfo *info,
                          GType implementor_gtype,
                          GError **error);

This method will look up where inside the type struct of implementor_gtype is the implementation for info .

Parameters

info

a GIVFuncInfo

 

implementor_gtype

GType implementing this virtual function

 

error

return location for a GError

 

Returns

address to a function or NULL if an error happened


g_vfunc_info_invoke ()

gboolean
g_vfunc_info_invoke (GIVFuncInfo *info,
                     GType implementor,
                     const GIArgument *in_args,
                     int n_in_args,
                     const GIArgument *out_args,
                     int n_out_args,
                     GIArgument *return_value,
                     GError **error);

Invokes the function described in info with the given arguments. Note that inout parameters must appear in both argument lists.

Parameters

info

a GIVFuncInfo describing the virtual function to invoke

 

implementor

GType of the type that implements this virtual function

 

in_args

an array of GIArguments, one for each in parameter of info . If there are no in parameter, in_args can be NULL.

[array length=n_in_args]

n_in_args

the length of the in_args array

 

out_args

an array of GIArguments, one for each out parameter of info . If there are no out parameters, out_args may be NULL.

[array length=n_out_args]

n_out_args

the length of the out_args array

 

return_value

return location for the return value of the function. If the function returns void, return_value may be NULL

 

error

return location for detailed error information, or NULL

 

Returns

TRUE if the function has been invoked, FALSE if an error occurred.
