Description Sebastian Dröge (slomo) 2010-04-01 07:02:20 UTC

Hi,
attached patch adds G_TYPE_ERROR as a boxed type for holding GErrors. This can be used for storing GError instances inside GValues for example.

See also bug 300610. That one was WONTFIXed, but that was before we added boxed types for all the other glib things (e.g. GRegex, GArray etc).

Comment 3 Sebastian Dröge (slomo) 2010-04-01 13:45:05 UTC

Right, that's exactly the reason why I want it: GST_TYPE_GERROR is ugly and really the wrong place for a GType for GError.

Comment 4 Matthias Clasen 2010-04-22 21:06:24 UTC

I have no objection to adding that type.

Comment 5 David Zeuthen (not reading bugmail) 2010-04-22 21:11:03 UTC

Sounds great + good time since I'd like to use in GDBus for the ::disconnected signal (to convey what caused the disconnection). Thanks.
