Description Kouhei Sutou 2008-04-07 12:47:19 UTC 
GEnumValue struct's third field is for nickname not description. (*) But GstIndexResolver uses the field for description.

(*): http://library.gnome.org/devel/gobject/stable/gobject-Enumeration-and-Flag-Types.html


Ruby/GLib's dynamic GEnum/GFlags definition routine uses a nickname field for generating constant name in Ruby. If a nickname field has description not nickname, Ruby/GLib can't generate reasonable constant name from it.

Could you use nickname field just for nickname not description?

Sure, thanks for pointing it out:

        * gst/gstindex.c: (gst_index_resolver_get_type):
          Don't put descriptions into the nick field of a GEnumValue: it's not
          meant for that and some language bindings rely on the nick field to
          construct constants and the like. Fixes #526705.
