Description Evan Nemerson 2010-12-08 21:16:31 UTC 
There is currently no way to annotate the callback contained in a GClosure, which limits the usefulness of methods with GClosure arguments.

For example, gtk_accel_group_connect's closure argument should contain a GtkAccelGroupActivate.

Using element-type seems logical.

Comment 2 Emmanuele Bassi (:ebassi) 2018-01-24 19:11:29 UTC 
Unlikely to happen; typically, the arguments in GClosures are marshalled via GValues anyway, and it's up to the language binding to turn GValues into real types before dispatching the native callback.
