Fix GStrv as struct fields. (5.38 KB, patch)
2010-06-01 12:19 UTC, Tomeu Vizoso 		none Details | Review

Description Danielle Madeley 2010-04-26 03:29:00 UTC 
struct _TpAvatarRequirements
{
  GStrv supported_mime_types;
  guint minimum_width;
  guint minimum_height;
...
};

When running g-ir-compiler:

  ** WARNING **: field TelepathyGLib.AvatarRequirements.supported_mime_types has void type
  aborting...

GIR:

    <record name="AvatarRequirements"
            c:type="TpAvatarRequirements"
            doc="..."
            version="0.11.UNRELEASED"
            glib:type-name="TpAvatarRequirements"
            glib:get-type="tp_avatar_requirements_get_type">
      <field name="supported_mime_types" writable="1">
        <type name="GObject.Strv" c:type="GStrv"/>

Changing to using 'char **' works around this.

Fix GStrv as struct fields.

* gir/gimarshallingtests.[hc]: Add a test for struct fields of type GStrv

* girepository/giroffsets.c: Correctly compute the size of structs with
  array fields

* girepository/girparser.c: Set is_pointer to FALSE for arrays with
  fixed size inside structs.

* giscanner/glibtransformer.py: Special case GStrv fields as arrays
  of utf8.

Tested that patch with tp-glib API, and it indeed fix the compilation issue when I have GStrv in a struct.

I had to also apply the patch from bug #620247 to pygi to make it work in python code, otherwise it enters infinite loop.
