Lots of people have variously asked for APIs like g_variant_new_string_printf() in order to avoid having to use g_strdup_printf(), create a GVariant using g_variant_new_string(), then free the temporary string. Instead of supporting that, plus a million other potential cases, introduce g_variant_new_take_string() as a compromise. It's not possible to write: v = g_variant_new_take_string (g_strdup_printf (....)); to get the desired result and avoid the extra copies. In addition, it works with many other functions. https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=698455
This package contains the reference documentation for GLib. For more information about Glib, see: http://www.gtk.org For information about contributing to the GLib/GTK+ reference documentation project, see: http://www.gtk.org/rdp/ The GLib reference documentation is freely redistributable, see the file COPYING for details. REQUIREMENTS ============ To build the documentation, you must have the gtk-doc package installed. To rebuild the template files, you must have the current version of the GLib header files installed. BUILD ===== First, run configure to generate the makefiles for this module. There is one option specific to this package --with-html-dir=DIR top of installed HTML documentation tree The Makefiles for this module define three targets: templates: Scan the headers and merge the results with the current template files sgml: Generate SGML files using the DocBook DTD from the template files html: Generate HTML from the SGML files. To build the documentation, do: make sgml make html You should only run the 'make templates' step if you need to regenerate the templates for a more recent version of the GLib sources. INSTALLATION ============ make install
