tp_verify()

#define tp_verify(R)            G_STATIC_ASSERT (R)

Make an assertion at compile time, like C++0x's proposed static_assert keyword. If R is determined to be true, there is no overhead at runtime; if R is determined to be false, compilation will fail.

This macro can be used at file scope (it expands to a dummy extern declaration).

(This is gnulib's verify macro, written by Paul Eggert, Bruno Haible and Jim Meyering.)

This macro will be deprecated in a future telepathy-glib release. Please use GLib 2.20's G_STATIC_ASSERT() macro in new code.

Since: 0.7.34

tp_verify_true()

#define tp_verify_true(R)       (((void) G_STATIC_ASSERT_EXPR (R)), 1)

Make an assertion at compile time, like C++0x's proposed static_assert keyword. If R is determined to be true, there is no overhead at runtime, and the macro evaluates to 1 as an integer constant expression; if R is determined to be false, compilation will fail.

This macro can be used anywhere that an integer constant expression would be allowed.

(This is gnulib's verify_true macro, written by Paul Eggert, Bruno Haible and Jim Meyering.)

This macro will be deprecated in a future telepathy-glib release. Please use GLib 2.20's G_STATIC_ASSERT() macro in new code.

Since: 0.7.34

tp_verify_statement()

#define tp_verify_statement(R)  ((void) G_STATIC_ASSERT_EXPR (R))

Make an assertion at compile time, like C++0x's proposed static_assert keyword. If R is determined to be true, there is no overhead at runtime; if R is determined to be false, compilation will fail.

This macro can be used anywhere that a statement would be allowed; it is equivalent to ((void) tp_verify_true (R)).

This macro will be deprecated in a future telepathy-glib release. Please use GLib 2.20's G_STATIC_ASSERT() macro in new code.

                        GBoxedCopyFunc value_dup);

Add each item in source to target , replacing any existing item with the same key. key_dup and value_dup are used to duplicate the items; in principle they could also be used to convert between types.

tp_g_ptr_array_extend ()

void
tp_g_ptr_array_extend (GPtrArray *target,
                       GPtrArray *source);

Appends all elements of source to target . Note that this only copies the pointers from source ; any duplication or reference-incrementing must be performed by the caller.

After this function has been called, it is safe to call g_ptr_array_free() on source and also free the actual pointer array, as long as doing so does not free the data pointed to by the new items in target .

tp_mixin_offset_cast ()

gpointer
tp_mixin_offset_cast (gpointer instance,
                      guint offset);

Extend a pointer by an offset, provided the offset is not 0. This is used to cast from an object instance to one of the telepathy-glib mixin classes.

tp_mixin_class_get_offset ()

guint
tp_mixin_class_get_offset (gpointer klass,

If the type of klass , or any of its ancestor types, has had an offset attached using qdata with the given quark , return that offset; if not, return 0.

In older telepathy-glib versions, calling this function on an instance that did not have the mixin was considered to be a programming error. Since version 0.13.9, 0 is returned, without error.

This is used to implement the telepathy-glib mixin classes.

tp_escape_as_identifier ()

gchar *
tp_escape_as_identifier (const gchar *name);

Escape an arbitrary string so it follows the rules for a C identifier, and hence an object path component, interface element component, bus name component or member name in D-Bus.

Unlike g_strcanon this is a reversible encoding, so it preserves distinctness.

The escaping consists of replacing all non-alphanumerics, and the first character if it's a digit, with an underscore and two lower-case hex digits:

"0123abc_xyz\x01\xff" -> _30123abc_5fxyz_01_ff

i.e. similar to URI encoding, but with _ taking the role of %, and a smaller allowed set. As a special case, "" is escaped to "_" (just for completeness, really).

                         GError **error);

Returns the value associated with key under group_name as a signed 64-bit integer. This is similar to g_key_file_get_integer() but can return 64-bit results without truncation.

                          GError **error);

tp_g_signal_connect_object ()

gulong
tp_g_signal_connect_object (gpointer instance,

                            GConnectFlags connect_flags);

Connects a GCallback function to a signal for a particular object, as if with g_signal_connect(). Additionally, arranges for the signal handler to be disconnected if gobject is destroyed.

This is similar to g_signal_connect_data(), but uses a closure which ensures that the gobject stays alive during the call to c_handler by temporarily adding a reference count to gobject .

This is similar to g_signal_connect_object(), but doesn't have the documented bug that everyone is too scared to fix. Also, it does not allow you to pass in NULL as gobject

This is intended to be a convenient way for objects to use themselves as user_data for callbacks without having to explicitly disconnect all the handlers in their finalizers.

Changed in 0.10.4 and 0.11.3: G_CONNECT_AFTER is now respected.

tp_weak_ref_destroy ()

void
tp_weak_ref_destroy (TpWeakRef *self);

[skip]

Since: 0.11.3

tp_clear_pointer()

#define             tp_clear_pointer(pp, destroy)

Set a variable holding a pointer to NULL. If it was not already NULL, unref or destroy the object it previously pointed to with destroy .

More precisely, if *pp is non-NULL, set *pp to NULL, then call destroy on the object that *pp previously pointed to.

This is analogous to g_clear_error() for non-error objects, but also ensures that pp is already NULL before the destructor is run.

Typical usage is something like this:

tp_clear_boxed (G_TYPE_HASH_TABLE, &foo->table);
tp_clear_pointer (&foo->misc, my_struct_destroy);

Since: 0.11.7

tp_clear_object()

#define tp_clear_object(op) tp_clear_pointer ((op), g_object_unref)

Set a variable holding a GObject to NULL. If it was not already NULL, unref the object it previously pointed to.

This is exactly equivalent to calling tp_clear_pointer() on op , with destroy = g_object_unref(). See tp_clear_pointer() for example usage.

Since: 0.11.7

tp_clear_boxed()

#define             tp_clear_boxed(gtype, pp)

Set a variable holding a boxed object to NULL. If it was not already NULL, destroy the boxed object it previously pointed to, as appropriate for gtype .

More precisely, if *pp is non-NULL, set *pp to NULL, then call g_boxed_free() on the object that *pp previously pointed to.

This is similar to tp_clear_pointer(); see that function's documentation for typical usage.

Since: 0.11.7

tp_simple_async_report_success_in_idle ()

                                gpointer source_tag);

Create a new GSimpleAsyncResult with no operation result, and call g_simple_async_result_complete_in_idle() on it.

This is like a successful version of g_simple_async_report_error_in_idle(), suitable for asynchronous functions that (conceptually) either succeed and return nothing, or raise an error, such as tp_proxy_prepare_async().

The corresponding finish function should not call a function that attempts to get a result, such as g_simple_async_result_get_op_res_gpointer().

Since: 0.11.9

tp_user_action_time_from_x11 ()

gint64
tp_user_action_time_from_x11 (guint32 x11_time);

Convert an X11 timestamp into a user action time as used in Telepathy.

This also works for the timestamps used by GDK 2, GDK 3 and Clutter 1.0; it may or may not work with other toolkits or versions.

Since: 0.11.13

tp_user_action_time_should_present ()

                                    guint32 *x11_time);

Interpret a Telepathy user action time to decide whether a Handler should attempt to gain focus. If TRUE is returned, it would be appropriate to call gtk_window_present_with_time() using x11_time as input, for instance.

x11_time is used to return a timestamp in the right format for X11, GDK 2, GDK 3 and Clutter 1.0; it may or may not work with other toolkits or versions.

Since: 0.11.13

tp_utf8_make_valid ()

gchar *
tp_utf8_make_valid (const gchar *name);

Validate that the provided string is valid UTF8. If not, replace all invalid bytes with unicode replacement character (U+FFFD).

This method is a verbatim copy of glib's internal _g_utf8_make_valid() function, and will be deprecated as soon as the glib one becomes public.

Since: 0.13.15

TpWeakRef

typedef struct _TpWeakRef TpWeakRef;

A simple wrapper for a weak reference to a GObject, suitable for use in asynchronous calls which should only affect the object if it hasn't already been freed.

As well as wrapping a weak reference to an object, this structure can contain an extra pointer to arbitrary data. This is useful for asynchronous calls which act on an object and some second piece of data, which are quite common in practice.

If more than one piece of auxiliary data is required, the user_data argument to the constructor can be a struct or a GValueArray.
