Hi Jeff:
Not sure if you have a wishlish for 3.0 and if it's still open...
There are several function where it would be *really* helpful if they could pass extra error information, in
particular the stream-related ones where fs errors can occur. Example: for
g_mime_stream_file_new_for_path(), it would be nice if it was
GMimeStream *
g_mime_stream_file_new_for_path (const char *path,
const char *mode,
GError **error); // <------ !!
like most other GLib functions (I today spent some time before I noticed the file I wanted to read with this
function had bad permissions - the NULL response was not /that/ helpful!).
Yes, this would change the API. But the API changes anyway I guess, and there is a trivial upgrade path
(just use NULL as error location) for existing applications.
Thoughts?
Cheers,
