This is part of an effort to rationalise our developer documentation a bit, putting it all in one directory rather than cluttering up the root directory. Signed-off-by: Philip Withnall <pwithnall@endlessos.org>

This file documents various major decisions which affect GLib development,
|
|
giving a brief rationale of each decision, plus a link to further discussion.
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Compiler attributes: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=113075#c46
|
|
|
|
GLib uses GIR annotations instead of compiler attributes. They are tidier,
|
|
already supported by GLib and GNOME tools, and accomplish the same task as
|
|
compiler attributes. GLib does not provide macros for attributes like
|
|
nonnull because it would not use them.
|
|
|
|
* Main loop API:
|
|
|
|
The ID-based mainloop APIs (g_idle_add, g_timeout_add, etc) are considered
|
|
legacy, and new features (such as g_source_set_static_name) will only be
|
|
added to the explicit GSource APIs.
