Description Sebastian Dröge (slomo) 2016-01-16 09:57:36 UTC 
It's easy to get the type of properties wrong in the varargs functions, especially for 64 bit integers. We could provide helper functions that are typed and for one specific property, and also do checks in there if the types are matching with the one of the property.
Comment 1 Tim-Philipp Müller 2016-01-16 10:03:44 UTC 
I've been wanting this for ages, so +1 from me.

Should really be added to GObject, but last time I checked GLib people were indifferent at best, but perhaps we should ask again before we merge it on our end.
Comment 2 Thibault Saunier 2016-01-16 15:32:49 UTC 
Yeah that would be very useful but should definitely go into GObject!
Comment 3 Sebastian Dröge (slomo) 2016-01-16 15:37:41 UTC 
We'll have to check if they want it though, I remembered Tim saying that they were not too convinced.

So, if they don't want it (we should try that first of course), should we add it nonetheless in our namespace?
Comment 4 Tim-Philipp Müller 2016-01-16 15:42:02 UTC 
Well, things change, so might still be worth checking with them first. I'd say make the patch for GstObject, then we can ask and if they say no we push it on our end.
