Deprecate Object.Connect
This issue tracks the progress for deprecating the (*glib.Object).Connect and (*glib.Object).ConnectAfter methods, reason being that they're not needed anymore with autogenerated signal methods (which are more performant and correct).
- [ ] Find a way to specify
ConnectAfter- [ ] Consider generating
ConnectAftermethods instead, but that might bloat up documentation. - [ ] Consider explicit flags:
w.ConnectHide(0, func() {}) - [ ] Evaluate if function flags is a better idea:
- [ ] Consider generating
func (w *Widget) ConnectHide(f func(), flags ...externglib.ConnectFlags)
w.ConnectHide(func() {
// Might look too ugly.
}, glib.ConnectAfter)
- [ ] Consider autogenerating
Connectmethods that allow eliding arguments:- Will mostly help easing the transition from traditional
Connectmethods.
- Will mostly help easing the transition from traditional
func (w *Widget) ConnectHide()
switch f := getFunc().(type) {
case func():
f()
case func(label string):
f(label)
case func(label string, target *gdk.Drop):
f(label, target)
}
- [ ] Add a
Notifyfunction fornotify::signals:
// Notify connects f to the "notify" signal for the given property. f will be
// called every time the property's value is changed.
func (o *Object) Notify(property string, f func())
- [ ] Deduplicate the callback for signals with the signature
func()- These are super common, so doing this will remove lots of repetitive code.
- [ ] Remove pkg
gobject-introspection- We don't need this once we stop generating
_get_type()marshalers.
