GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 570797
gtk_activatable_reset has a very generic name
Last modified: 2009-03-03 17:27:53 UTC
gtk_activatable_reset() has a very generic name for an interface method. In language with some support for OO it will be wrapped as a method named just reset(). This has a lot of potential for conflicting with other methods in the hierarchy, and for confusing the reader. All the other GtkActivatable methods carry "action" in their name, making conflicts much less likely. Can gtk_activatable_reset() be renamed to, say, gtk_activatable_reset_action()?
I second that concern. Not only for the sake of object oriented languages but also for consistency and clarity of the API.
Matthias fixed this by renaming gtk_activatable_reset to gtk_activatable_sync_action_properties with r22389.
