Re: Re: How gvdb_table_is_valid works on glib/dconf??

Hi jcupitt,
I'm curious why gvdb_table_is_valid works. Here's the implementation
of gvdb_table_is_valid. 

/**                                                                                                         * gvdb_table_is_valid:                                                                                     * @table: a #GvdbTable                                                                                     * @returns: %TRUE if @table is still valid                                                                 *                                                                                                          * Checks if the table is still valid.                                                                      *                                                                                                          * An on-disk GVDB can be marked as invalid.  This happens when the
 file                                    
 * has been replaced.  The appropriate action is typically to reopen
 the                                    
 * file.                                                                                                    **/
gboolean
gvdb_table_is_valid (GvdbTable *table)
{
  return !!*table->data;
}

Best regards,
Joshua
