.TH GLIB-GENMARSHAL 1 "18 Oct 2000"
.SH NAME
glib-genmarshal \- C code marshaller generation utility for GLib closures
.SH SYNOPSIS
\fBglib-genmarshal\fP [\fIoptions\fP] [\fIfiles...\fP]
.SH DESCRIPTION
\fBglib-genmarshal\fP is a small utility that generates C code marshallers
for callback functions of the GClosure mechanism in the GObject sublibrary
of GLib. The marshaller functions have a standard signature, they get passed
in the invoking closure, an array of value structures holding the callback
function parameters and a value structure for the return value of the
callback. The marshaller is then responsible to call the respective C code
function of the closure with all the parameters on the stack and to collect
its return value.
.SH INVOCATION
\fBglib-genmarshal\fP takes a list of marshallers to generate as input.
The marshaller list is either read from standard input or from files
passed as additional arguments on the command line.
.SS Options
.TP
\fI--header
Generate header file contents of the marshallers.
.TP
\fI--body
Generate C code file contents of the marshallers.
.TP
\fI--prefix=string, --prefix string
Specify marshaller prefix. The default prefix is `\fIg_cclosure_marshal\fP'.
.TP
\fI--skip-source
Skip source location remarks in generated comments.

fixed dealing with collection/lcopy of NULL values. Mon Dec 11 04:44:11 2000 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org> * gboxed.c: fixed dealing with collection/lcopy of NULL values. * gclosure.h: removed insane ramblings, added G_CALLBACK() a casting convenience macro. * Makefile.am: cleanups, marshaller generation rules. * gmarshal.[hc]: new files with GRuntime standard marshallers. * glib-genmarshal.c: fix log domain, support gruntime standard marshallers, suport G_TYPE_PARAM, come with extern "C" and #include gmarshal.h. * glib-genmarshal.1: reflect glib-genmarshal.c updates. * gobject.[hc]: implement object constructor. rework parameter changed notification queueing, we support queue freezes now and don't dispatch from an idle handler anymore. parameter->property rename hassle. implemented ::properties_changed and ::notify::* signals for property change notification (the later supports property names as details). added signal connection and named data properties.

Tue Feb 27 18:35:15 2001 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org> * gobject.c (g_object_get_valist): urg, pass G_VALUE_NOCOPY_CONTENTS into G_VALUE_LCOPY(), this needs proper documenting. * gparam.c: fixed G_PARAM_USER_MASK. * gtype.c (type_data_make_W): (type_data_last_unref_Wm): fixed invalid memory freeing. * gobject.c (g_object_last_unref): destroy signal handlers associated with object, right before finalization. * gsignal.c (g_signal_parse_name): catch destroyed nodes or signals that don't actually support details. * gobject.[hc]: got rid of property trailers. nuked GObject properties "data" and the "signal" variants. (g_object_connect): new convenience function to do multiple signal connections at once. (g_object_disconnect): likewise, for disconnections. * gparam.[hc] (g_param_spec_pool_lookup): took out trailer support. * gvalue.[hc]: marked g_value_fits_pointer() and g_value_peek_pointer() as private (the latter got renamed from g_value_get_as_pointer()). Wed Mar 7 09:32:06 2001 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org> * glib-object.h: add gvaluearray.h. * gstring.[hc]: fixup naming of g_string_sprint*. * gtypes.h: fixed GCompareDataFunc naming.

.SH EXAMPLE
To generate marshallers for the following callback functions:
.PP
.RS
.nf
void foo (gpointer data1,
gpointer data2);
void bar (gpointer data1,
gint param1,
gpointer data2);
gfloat baz (gpointer data1,
gboolean param1,
guchar param2,
gpointer data2);
.fi
.RE
.PP
The marshaller list has to look like this:
.PP
.RS
.nf
VOID:VOID
VOID:INT
FLOAT:BOOLEAN,UCHAR
.fi
.RE
.PP
The generated marshallers have the arguments encoded
in their function name. For this particular list, they
are
g_cclosure_marshal_VOID__VOID(),
g_cclosure_marshal_VOID__INT(),
g_cclosure_marshal_FLOAT__BOOLEAN_UCHAR().
.PP
They can be used directly for GClosures or be passed in as
the GSignalCMarshaller c_marshaller; argument upon creation
of signals:
.PP
.nf
GClosure *cc_foo, *cc_bar, *cc_baz;
cc_foo = g_cclosure_new (NULL, foo, NULL);
g_closure_set_marshal (cc_foo, g_cclosure_marshal_VOID__VOID);
cc_bar = g_cclosure_new (NULL, bar, NULL);
g_closure_set_marshal (cc_bar, g_cclosure_marshal_VOID__INT);
cc_baz = g_cclosure_new (NULL, baz, NULL);
g_closure_set_marshal (cc_baz, g_cclosure_marshal_FLOAT__BOOLEAN_UCHAR);
