intro:
i have a simple c program that uses gtk (1.2) which in turn uses glib.
using the flag -Wall i get no warnings.
using -Wall -ansi no warnings.
using -Wall -ansi -pedantic I get these warnings
In file included from /usr/include/gtk-1.2/gdk/gdktypes.h:33,

/usr/include/glib-1.2/glib.h:1317:25: warning: ISO
C does not permit named variadic macros
In glib.h, line 1308 I find:
#define g_error(format. ..) g_log (G_LOG_DOMAIN, \
G_LOG_LEVEL_ERR OR, \
format)
the other lines are similar #define statements.
question: what is named variadic macros? should the glib guys fix this?
should I upgrade and face the newest problems? should I just don't care
because who uses glib/gtk will never respect the standard? did I miss
some useful information on this matter? thanks for any input on this.

It apparently refers to the way that the variadic portion of the macro's
arguments is named "format" here. The standard-compliant way of writing
that macro definition would be:
#define g_error(...) g_log (G_LOG_DOMAIN, \
G_LOG_LEVEL_ERR OR, \
__VA_ARGS__)
should the glib guys fix this?
Well, it doesn't seem to require much work to fix it, so I'd say "yes".
Especially if glib is intended to be compilable on non-gcc compilers.
should I upgrade and face the newest problems? should I just don't care because who uses glib/gtk will never respect the standard? did I miss some useful information on this matter? thanks for any input on this.
I think that's really up to you. It's trivial to fix those macros
yourself, if that's what you want to do.

news:pa******** *************** **********@iopl ex.com / comp.lang.c: Variadic macros are macros that accept a variable number of arguments. They are defined in the C99 standard but not many compilers impement them and I don't think gcc uses the defines C99 syntax anyway.
gcc handles at least all the example vararg macros from the C99
standard. Could you give an example of a C99 vararg macro that gcc
does not handle correctly? I don't doubt that there may be some.
Since I use the standard vararg mechanism for macros found in the
standard and do so with gcc, I would like to be sure that I don't
shot myself in the foot.

Since http://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-3.0/c99status.html claims that C99 macros
with a variable number of arguments are properly supported, it is
reasonable to assume that any 3.x version handles them properly.
OTOH, gcc also supports the GNU C syntax for vararg macros, which is
different from the C99 syntax.

Hello,
I would like to compile GLib as a static library on Windows XP with
MinGW if possible.
I downloaded GLib and needed librairies,
but only the .dll files are included in the zip file.
I manage to create a static lib project with CodeBlocks IDE.
and I manage to use Glib as a dynamic lib but not as a static one.

~~~"glib.h: No such file or directory. "~~~
I am using DevC++ to compile a program and it says
"glib.h: No such file or directory. "
I do not have any parameters set up, but it does appear that i have the glib files i would need in my compilers directory.
what would i change with my program to fix this?

Hi,
I want to serialize a glib data type (an hash), but I don't want to
access directly to the fields of the various structs, since it's an
opaque data type: there is one "more-or-less standard way to do it"
that it's more efficient than read all the fields with the iterator,
saves them on file and successively recreating the hash putting them
once per time?
Thanks in advice.

As anyone knows, the state of Python GUI programming is a little
fractured at this time, with many toolkits, wrappers and meta-wrappers
dead and alive, with or without documentation.
I've come across two projects that have the appeal of striving for
simple, pythonic APIs: PyGUI and wax. The latter is a wrapper around
wxPython. It is lacking documentation but actually quite usable and
concise. The other, PyGUI, has an even nicer API and...

Hi all,
I'm learning how to use some Glib-functions for simple linked list. I
wrote a small program that prepends 2 data (let's say to integers "1"
and "2") in list, display them, count total number of elements and
returns index of each element.
How to avoid these warnings?
warning: passing argument 1 of ‘g_list_nth’ from incompatible pointer

warning: format ‘%d’ expects type ‘int’, but argument 2 has type

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
