I have a GObject question that I hope someone can help me with. I
imagine this has been asked before, but a quick search of the
mailing-list archives didn't turn up any answers.
Regarding a GObject's constructor properties, is there a mechanism in
GObject or a generally accepted idiom for *requiring* certain properties
to be supplied at object construction?
There is no built-in support for that in GObject.
It is general practice is to write a function like:
my_object_new (Required *param1, Required *param2)
{
MyObject *obj;
g_return_val_if_fail (param1 != NULL, NULL);
/* ... */
obj = g_object_new (MY_TYPE_OBJECT,
"p1", param1,
"p2", param2, NULL);
/* ... */
return obj;
}
But that aproach doesnt bar public access to
g_object_new () ofcourse.
