Hi Melvin,
   as you noticed, code generation has been removed completely in Glade 3,
code generation has also been widely discouraged for years because of
the dynamic libglade solution.

For C++ you should be able to use libglademm, note that for the
glade_xml_signal_autoconnect () construct to function properly - the 
functions
it will call must be exported properly, I'm not sure if that spells anything
different in C++ but in C that means that signal callbacks must be global -
and object code must be linked with "-Wl --export-dynamic".

Cheers,
