Description

This is a collection of back ported API from GLib. This is only for API that is actually useful. The backported API will not be built when compiling against the version of GLib when it was introduced, and just a wrapper will be used.

Details

gf_type_module_register_enum ()

GType       gf_type_module_register_enum    (GTypeModule *module,
                                             const gchar *name,
                                             const GEnumValue *values);

Looks up or registers an enumeration that is implemented with a particular type plugin. If a type with name name was previously registered, the GType identifier for the type is returned, otherwise the type is newly registered, and the resulting GType identifier returned.

As long as any instances of the type exist, the type plugin will not be unloaded.

`module` :	A GTypeModule.
`name` :	The name for the type.
`values` :	An array of GEnumValue structs for the possible enumeration values. The array is terminated by a struct with all members being 0.
Returns :	The new or existing type ID.

gf_type_module_register_flags ()

GType       gf_type_module_register_flags   (GTypeModule *module,
                                             const gchar *name,
                                             const GFlagsValue *values);

Looks up or registers a flags type that is implemented with a particular type plugin. If a type with name name was previously registered, the GType identifier for the type is returned, otherwise the type is newly registered, and the resulting GType identifier returned.

As long as any instances of the type exist, the type plugin will not be unloaded.

`module` :	A GTypeModule.
`name` :	The name for the type.
`values` :	An array of GFlagsValue structs for the possible flags values. The array is terminated by a struct with all members being 0.
Returns :	THe new or existing type ID.
