VariantBuilder

A utility type for constructing container-type #GVariant instances.

This is an opaque structure and may only be accessed using the following functions.

#GVariantBuilder is not threadsafe in any way. Do not attempt to access it from more than one thread.

class VariantBuilder {

GVariantBuilder* gVariantBuilder;

bool ownedRef;

GVariantBuilder* getVariantBuilderStruct(bool transferOwnership);

void* getStruct();

this(GVariantBuilder* gVariantBuilder, bool ownedRef);

this(VariantType type);

void addValue(Variant value);

void clear();

void close();

Variant end();

void init(VariantType type);

void open(VariantType type);

VariantBuilder doref();

void unref();

}

Constructors

this this(GVariantBuilder* gVariantBuilder, bool ownedRef): Sets our main struct and passes it to the parent class.
this this(VariantType type): Allocates and initialises a new #GVariantBuilder.

Destructor

~this ~this(): Undocumented in source.

Members

Functions

addValue void addValue(Variant value): Adds @value to @builder.
clear void clear(): Releases all memory associated with a #GVariantBuilder without freeing the #GVariantBuilder structure itself.
close void close(): Closes the subcontainer inside the given @builder that was opened by the most recent call to g_variant_builder_open().
doref VariantBuilder doref(): Increases the reference count on @builder.
end Variant end(): Ends the builder process and returns the constructed value.
getStruct void* getStruct(): the main Gtk struct as a void*
getVariantBuilderStruct GVariantBuilder* getVariantBuilderStruct(bool transferOwnership): Get the main Gtk struct
init void init(VariantType type): Initialises a #GVariantBuilder structure.
open void open(VariantType type): Opens a subcontainer inside the given @builder. When done adding items to the subcontainer, g_variant_builder_close() must be called. @type is the type of the container: so to build a tuple of several values, @type must include the tuple itself.
unref void unref(): Decreases the reference count on @builder.

Variables

gVariantBuilder GVariantBuilder* gVariantBuilder;: the main Gtk struct
ownedRef bool ownedRef;: Undocumented in source.
