Hi all, I've today compiled my program with recent valac (from git master), and just from curiosity I've compared generated C sources with my previous ones. Vala now makes all *get_type() functions const using G_GNUC_CONST. I don't know at which version was this feature added (previously I used 0.9.2), but I've found some potential trouble with this. In glib doc for G_GNUC_CONST macro: "A const function doesn't examine any values except its parameters, and has no effects except its return value." In 10-years-old mail: http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gtk-devel-list/2001-May/msg00174.html "_get_type() functions do have side effects, that of registering a type upon first invocation." So... as far as I can remember get_type() functions still has effect of registering a type in the type system upon first call? So is G_GNUC_CONST in vala-generated code valid? best regards, -- Mój klucz publiczny o identyfikatorze 1024D/E12C5A4C znajduje się na serwerze hkp://keys.gnupg.net My public key with signature 1024D/E12C5A4C is on the server hkp://keys.gnupg.net
