Description huzheng 2003-07-28 06:11:21 UTC 
now TextBuffer::get_selection_bounds() return void, i think it is better
return bool just like gtk+ do.

I think you are probably correct.

The bool says whether the selection is greater than 0 characters:
http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/gtk/GtkTextBuffer.html#gtk-text-buffer-get-selection-bounds

We probably thought that the iters would be equal to end() if
something failed, but I think the iters could have valid equal values
even if the selection is 0.

It looks like we also need to add a
bool get_selection_bounds() overload, with no parameters, using NULL
values to GTK+.

Thank you.

By the way, you can check whether the iters are equal. It should give
the same information.

Fixed in cvs for gtkmm 2.4, though it is not really necessary. Thanks.
