fully-qualified member function names in devhelp (2.16 KB, patch)

Description Jonathon Jongsma 2007-11-06 03:00:54 UTC
Right now, when you use the gtkmm API reference in devhelp, if you search for a function that is a member of many different classes ("add_interface()" for example), the devhelp results will show a whole bunch of results, but they all look the same, because the member function names are not fully qualified.  So your results list looks something like:
add_interface
add_interface
add_interface
add_interface
add_interface
add_interface
add_interface
add_interface
...


I'm attaching a patch which will prepend the namespace and classname to the functions so that you can tell what these functions are without clicking them blindly to see which class they belong to.  So you'll see something like this in your results:
Atk::Action::add_interface
Atk::Component::add_interface
...
Gtk::CellEditable::add_interface
Gtk::CellLayout::add_interface

etc.

fully-qualified member function names in devhelp

Opinions?  Shall I commit?

Sounds good. I find this annoying in devhelp too. Hopefully we can still find things easily by typing the unqualified name.

Thanks.
Comment 3 Jonathon Jongsma 2007-11-06 12:46:53 UTC
yes, searching by unqualified name still works fine.  committed.
