G-Golf
GNOME: (Guile Object Library for)
G-Golf is a Guile Object Library for GNOME.
G-Golf is tool to develop fast and feature-rich graphical applications,
with a recognizable look and feel.
* Install
Dependencies and complete installation instructions are given in the
distributed INSTALL file, or here:
https://www.gnu.org/software/g-golf/install.html
* Noteworthy changes in 0.8.0
Here is a summary of the noteworthy changes in this release, also
available in NEWS file and on the G-Golf website.
** New interfaces
g-boxed-copy
scm->gi-struct, scm->gi-struct-field
gi-struct->scm, gi-struct-field->scm
in-out->clb-c-arg-list
The GError struct is now imported, and can be retreived calling by
(gi-cache-ref 'boxed 'g-error).
** Examples
*** Adwaita Demo
The adwaita-1-demo script has been fixed, so its compile-g-resource
procedure calls system, not system* (which was reported to (currently)
fail on homebrew).
AdwNavigationSplitView updated (upstream changes port(s)).
*** Gtk-4
The revealer example was fixed, as the (add-from-file builder ui) call
returns a boolean, not an integer.
** Bug fixing
Note: The GIMarshallingTests upstream test-suite for languae bindings is
now implemented in G-Golf, as a separate git repo, as I still have to
think about what would be the best way to make it either part of G-Golf,
or as a seprate project.
But the good news is, that this GIMarshallingTests upstream test-suite
port to G-Golf has triggered numerous (unrevealed) bugs (so far), and
largely contributed to making this release the first G-Golf stable
release.
However, not all fix can easily been reported in a noteworthy changes
summary, so, as said above, those deeply interested may consult the
[[http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/g-golf.git][git
summary]] and [[http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/g-golf.git/log/][git log]] for
a complete list and description.
*** G-Golf <-> GI strings
Enforce all strings to be UTF-8 encoded/decoded
*** gi-argument->scm, scm->gi-argument
[-] enhanced struct support

[-] enhanced array support
[-] enhanced array of struct(s) support
[-] enhanced enum/flags support
[-] enhanced gparam support

*** gi-type-tag->ffi-type
The corresponding ffi type for gtype is size_t, not unsigned-long.
*** initialize-callable-arguments
Updated to also calculate al-pos (array length position) for inout and
out arguments.
*** gi-type-tag->bv-acc
Adding support for unichar
Thanks!
