GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 647357
consider making atkrelationtype a simple C enum
Last modified: 2021-06-10 11:27:07 UTC
it doesn't seem to be clear that there is a use case for adding new atkrelationtypes at run time. Without a use case it would be simpler and less code to just have a C enum and array of strings for when we need a string name not an integer.
ATK Hackfest conclusions: * The current code does not cause any problems. * We do not see any compelling reason to change this. * However, we'll keep this bug open for now for later consideration.
[Mass-reassigning open atk bug reports for better trackability as requested in https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=653179 . PLEASE NOTE: If you have watched the previous assignee of this bug report as a workaround for actually getting notified of changes in atk bugs, you yourself will now have to add atk-maint@gnome.bugs to your watchlist at the bottom of https://bugzilla.gnome.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email to keep watching atk bug reports in GNOME Bugzilla. Sorry for the noise: Feel free to filter for this comment in order to mass-delete the triggered bugmail.]
GNOME is going to shut down bugzilla.gnome.org in favor of gitlab.gnome.org. As part of that, we are mass-closing older open tickets in bugzilla.gnome.org which have not seen updates for a longer time (resources are unfortunately quite limited so not every ticket can get handled). If you can still reproduce the situation described in this ticket in a recent and supported software version of atk, then please follow https://wiki.gnome.org/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines and create a ticket at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/atk/-/issues/ Thank you for your understanding and your help.
