GtkBuilderScope is an interface that provides the scope that a builder
instance operates in.
It creates closures and resolves types. Language bindings are meant to
use this interface to customize the behavior of builder files, in
particular when instantiating templates.
A default implementation for C is provided via GtkBuilderCScope (to keep
with the awkward naming that glib uses for closures). It is derivable on
purpose so that languages or extensions that extend C can use it.
The reftest code in fact does derive GtkBuilderCScope for its own scope
implementation that implements looking up symbols in modules.
gtk-widget-factory was updated to use the new GtkBuilderCScope to add
its custom callback symbols.
So it does it different from gtk-demo, which uses the normal way of
exporting symbols for dlsym() and thereby makes the 2 demos test the 2
ways GtkBuilder uses for looking up symbols.
Use it as the default object for expression binds and when connecting
signals. It is intended to work kind of as the "this" object while
parsing. In fact, the term "current object" was stolen from the Java
docs and various C++ tutorials for the this pointer.
Set the current object in gtk_widget_init_template() and
GtkListItemBuilder.
This more-or-less replaces the object passed to
gtk_builder_connect_signals() in GTK3.
gtk_builder_connect_signals() is no longer necessary, because all the
setup that made it necessary to have this extra step is now done
automatically via the closure functions.
This will be the future way to connect signals automatically (and be
used for other things, too).
For now, gtk_builder_connect_signals_default() is ported to use it.
This is pretty unused and gets in the way of the next steps.
A potential side effect is that for templates the widget was passed as
the user data argument. If that turns out to be important, we have to
special case that situation.
Remove all the old 2.x and 3.x version annotations.
GTK+ 4 is a new start, and from the perspective of a
GTK+ 4 developer all these APIs have been around since
the beginning.
Added GTK_BUILDER_ERROR_INVALID_PROPERTY and GTK_BUILDER_ERROR_INVALID_SIGNAL
error codes
ObjectInfo: Use a GType instead of a char * for the class name.
PropertyInfo: Use a GParamSpec instead of a char * for the property name.
SignalInfo: Use signal id and detail quark instead of a detailed signal name string.
This not only save us a few malloc in each case but lets us simplify the code
and report unknown properties and signals as a parsing error instead of just
printing a warning.
This commit implements the needed machinery for GtkWidget
to build it's composite content from GtkBuilder XML and
adds the following API:
o gtk_widget_init_template()
An api to be called in instance initializers of any
GtkWidget subclass that uses template XML to build it's components.
o gtk_widget_class_set_template()
API to associate GtkBuilder XML to a given GtkWidget subclass
o gtk_widget_class_automate_child()
API to declare an object built by GtkBuilder to be associated
with an instance structure offset and automatically set.
o gtk_widget_get_automated_child()
API for bindings to fetch a child declared to be automated by
gtk_widget_class_automate_child(), for the case where bindings
do not generate GObjects under the hood and cannot use structure
offsets to resolve composite object pointers.
o gtk_widget_class_declare_callback[s]()
Declare static functions to be used in signal callbacks from
a given class's template XML
o gtk_widget_class_set_connect_func()
API for bindings to override the signal connection machinery
for a given GtkWidget derived class.
This adds the definition of the <template> tag with some documentation
on the variant of the format.
_gtk_builder_extend_with_template() is to be used while GtkContainer
builds from composite templates. A couple of error codes are also added
to handle a few new possible failure cases.
DTD Files gtkbuilder.rnc and gtkbuilder.rng have been updated to include
the new <template> tag and it's attributes.
In preperation for composite objects, for better encapsulation
the following APIs are added to allow handling of signals declared
in the XML with callbacks declared statically.
o gtk_builder_add_callback_symbol[s]()
Adds a symbol to the internal symbol hash
o gtk_builder_lookup_symbol()
Looks up a symbol, exposed in case added symbols are used
in conjunction with gtk_builder_connect_signals_full()
The default implementation of gtk_builder_connect_signals() now
does not have a strong requirement on GModule (or a strong requirement
on symbols being declared in the global namespace). Instead GModule
is used as a fallback in the case that symbols are not declared
explicitly.
There are new calls to load ui files from resources, and
you can now read pixbufs by using relative paths in a ui
file read from a resource, or by using absolute resource:/// uris.
This commit does a number of things:
- remove some dead wchar configury from configure.ac and gdkconfig.h
- repurpose gdkconfig.h as header that contains GDK_WINDOWING_foo
macros for each included backend, include it in gdk.h and install
it in $includedir instead of below $libdir
- drop the backend from the library names
- build libgdk-3.0.la as a convenience lib and include it in libgtk-3.0.la
It does not yet enable building multiple backends at the same time.

Bug 447998 - GtkBuilder does not support building parts of the xml tree
* gtk/gtkbuilder.c:
* gtk/gtkbuilder.h:
* gtk/gtkbuilderprivate.h:
* gtk/gtkbuilderparser.c:
* gtk/gtk.symbols:
Add two new functions that allow cherry picking and construct
objects from a ui description file or string.
* gtk/tests/builder.c: tests for the above.
