Re: libseed-list watching stdin

[Jonatan Liljedahl <lijon kymatica com>]

This worked:

GLib.io_add_watch(stdin, 0, GLib.IOCondition.IN, watch_func);

And I had to use GString as buffer when reading:

var linebuf = new GLib.String;
var codebuf = "";
var watch = function(source, condition, data) {
    GLib.io_channel_read_line_string(source, linebuf);
    codebuf += linebuf.str;
    ....
    return true;
}

It would be nice if also the other read-functions worked, those who take 
a gchar pointer. How does Seed handle pointer-arguments?

Also, why does some stuff work in OOP style and some not? I created the 
GString with "new GLib.String", but it doesn't seem to have any methods. 
The IOChannel is created with GLib.io_channel_unix_new(), since "new 
GLib.IOChannel" can't pass any filedescriptor. And the returned 
IOChannel doesn't have any methods either. Is this because both are only 
GLib and not GObject?
