GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 650122
Convert AtkHyperlink to an interface and get rid of AtkHyperlinkImpl
Last modified: 2021-06-10 11:27:12 UTC
As it was discussed during the ATK/AT-SPI hackfest at some point it would be good, thinking of ATK 2.0 (where breaking API/ABI will not be an issue), to clean up the AtkHypertext / AtkHyperlink / AtkHyperlinkImpl stuff, so AtkHyperlink could become an interface, finally, so we wouldn't need with yet another non-AtkObject plus an implementor interface. Some background on bugs 344284, bmo#343150 The conclusion reached during the hackfest, as it was written in the Agenda: "To go ahead and propose get rid of the AtkHyperlinkImpl implementor interface and makes AtkHyperlink just an interface (instead of a GObject) that would be implemented by subclasses of AtkObject as needed (those instances returned as 'hyperlinks' by AtkObjects implementing the AtkHypertext interface)"

[Mass-reassigning open atk bug reports for better trackability as requested in https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=653179 . PLEASE NOTE: If you have watched the previous assignee of this bug report as a workaround for actually getting notified of changes in atk bugs, you yourself will now have to add atk-maint@gnome.bugs to your watchlist at the bottom of https://bugzilla.gnome.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email to keep watching atk bug reports in GNOME Bugzilla. Sorry for the noise: Feel free to filter for this comment in order to mass-delete the triggered bugmail.]
GNOME is going to shut down bugzilla.gnome.org in favor of gitlab.gnome.org. As part of that, we are mass-closing older open tickets in bugzilla.gnome.org which have not seen updates for a longer time (resources are unfortunately quite limited so not every ticket can get handled). If you can still reproduce the situation described in this ticket in a recent and supported software version of atk, then please follow https://wiki.gnome.org/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines and create a ticket at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/atk/-/issues/ Thank you for your understanding and your help.
