GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 57691
check error conditions in backend read/write/seek
Last modified: 2013-11-24 01:33:55 UTC
Someone who understands the win32 backend needs to check that the GIOChannelError error messages which replaced the old GIOError error messages make sense.
Moving open 2.0.0 Win32 bugs to 2.0.1 milestone.
Moving 2.0.1 Win32 bugs to 2.0.2 milestone.
Would cause string changes, so best not done at this point. (The error messages really could use improvement though)
Could be done for 2.2.x once the GNOME-2.2 string freeze is over, but probably simplest to just do on HEAD.
I have forgotten what error messages (or status enum codes?) exactly this bug refers to. Ron, could you refresh my memory...?
Search for g_set_error() in giowin32.c; I think that's what this bug refers to. It turns out that the error strings in giowin32.c aren't currently marked for translation, but they actually should be for consistency with GError usage in the rest of GLib. (So, this shouldn't probably be changed before 2.4.1, which is going to be a only-bugs update of 2.4.0 but since we don't have a 2.4.2 milestone, I'm putting it on 2.4.1 for now.)
I don't think we will do anything here, after all these years.
