Description Evan Nemerson 2010-10-22 04:09:11 UTC 
An easy to use syntax for dealing with GClosures would be very useful. There are currently a couple of places where delegates can't be used; arrays and generic arguments come to mind. The syntax currently used in the vapis ([CCode (name = "GClosure*")] owned DelegateType func) is ugly and, AFAIK, only works for function arguments.

Something like GLib.Closure<DelegateType> (suggested in IRC on 2010-10-18 by Jürg) would probably make sense.
