TypeClass

An opaque structure used as the base of all classes.

class TypeClass {

GTypeClass* gTypeClass;

GTypeClass* getTypeClassStruct();

void* getStruct();

this(GTypeClass* gTypeClass);

void* getPrivate(GType privateType);

TypeClass peekParent();

void unref();

void unrefUncached();

static void addPrivate(void* gClass, size_t privateSize);

static void adjustPrivateOffset(void* gClass, int* privateSizeOrOffset);

static int getInstancePrivateOffset(void* gClass);

static TypeClass peek(GType type);

static TypeClass peekStatic(GType type);

static TypeClass doref(GType type);

}

Constructors

this this(GTypeClass* gTypeClass): Sets our main struct and passes it to the parent class.

Members

Functions

getPrivate void* getPrivate(GType privateType)
getStruct void* getStruct(): the main Gtk struct as a void*
getTypeClassStruct GTypeClass* getTypeClassStruct(): Get the main Gtk struct
peekParent TypeClass peekParent(): This is a convenience function often needed in class initializers. It returns the class structure of the immediate parent type of the class passed in. Since derived classes hold a reference count on their parent classes as long as they are instantiated, the returned class will always exist.
unref void unref(): Decrements the reference count of the class structure being passed in. Once the last reference count of a class has been released, classes may be finalized by the type system, so further dereferencing of a class pointer after g_type_class_unref() are invalid.
unrefUncached void unrefUncached(): A variant of g_type_class_unref() for use in #GTypeClassCacheFunc implementations. It unreferences a class without consulting the chain of #GTypeClassCacheFuncs, avoiding the recursion which would occur otherwise.

Static functions

addPrivate void addPrivate(void* gClass, size_t privateSize): Registers a private structure for an instantiatable type.
adjustPrivateOffset void adjustPrivateOffset(void* gClass, int* privateSizeOrOffset)
doref TypeClass doref(GType type): Increments the reference count of the class structure belonging to @type. This function will demand-create the class if it doesn't exist already.
getInstancePrivateOffset int getInstancePrivateOffset(void* gClass): Gets the offset of the private data for instances of @g_class.
peek TypeClass peek(GType type): This function is essentially the same as g_type_class_ref(), except that the classes reference count isn't incremented. As a consequence, this function may return %NULL if the class of the type passed in does not currently exist (hasn't been referenced before).
peekStatic TypeClass peekStatic(GType type): A more efficient version of g_type_class_peek() which works only for static types.

Variables

gTypeClass GTypeClass* gTypeClass;: the main Gtk struct
