GtkObject in gnome-utils/Gnome-Calculator

["Yogeesh MB" <yogeeshappa mathighatta wipro com>]

Hi,

In gnome-utils/Gnome-calculator has both GTK_OBJECT_CLASS destroy call
:gnome_calc_destroy(GtkObject * gobject),  and G_OBJECT_CLASS finalize
:gnome_calc_finalize(GObject * gobject).
GTK_OBJECT_CLASS is deprecated and there is no destroy call in
G_OBJECT_CLASS.  I would like to know why the destroy call is still
retained. Isn't finalize a substitute for destroy?

Regards,
Yogeesh MB.

Hi Yogeesh. I hate to do this, but you should probably ask on the gtk-list
mailing list since this is a very general porting question. I'm not familiar
with the changes needed to port from GtkObject to GObject so the gtk list
will give a better answer.

Regards,
Kevin

  Hi Kevin,

  I was testing the ported gnome-utils/gnome-calculator,
  I found there is GtkObject function call gnome_calc_destroy(GtkObject *
gobject) used.
  In GTK_OBJECT_CALSS there is a destroy call. but in (deprecated)
  G_OBJECT_CLASS as such there is no destroy call (except finalize)
  I have build the gnome-calulator by commenting destroy call, Its working
fine.
  Let me know the reason why still GTK_OBJECT_CLASS(destroy) exists.
  I mailed Bastien Nocera in this regard,  below is the mail from him.
  Awaiting for ur reply,

  Regards,
  Yogeesh MB.
