GObject 08: A class with a signal

5024 ワード

A GObject may emit signals to show that something have happened.  Signals can be connected to many "handlers"which are called when the signals are emitted.
Full code:
/* A subclass of GObject with a property. */

#include <stdio.h>
#include <glib-object.h>

typedef struct {
    GObject something_as_boilerplate;
    char *name;
} myinstance_t;

typedef struct {
    GObjectClass something_as_boilerplate;
} myclass_t;

GType get_my_typeid();

void my_instance_init_func(myinstance_t *instance, gpointer data) {
    instance->name = "AnInstance";
}

void my_class_init_func(myclass_t* klass, gpointer data) {
    int signal_id = g_signal_new(
            "my-signal",
            get_my_typeid(),
            G_SIGNAL_RUN_LAST,
            0,
            NULL,
            NULL,
            g_cclosure_marshal_VOID__STRING,
            G_TYPE_NONE,
            1,
            G_TYPE_STRING,
            NULL
            );
}

GType get_my_typeid() {
    static my_type_id = 0;
    if(my_type_id==0) {
        GTypeInfo my_type_info = {
            sizeof(myclass_t),  //class_size;

            NULL,               //base_init;
            NULL,               //base_finalize;

            /* classed types, instantiated types */
            (GClassInitFunc)my_class_init_func, //class_init;
            NULL,               //class_finalize;
            NULL,               //class_data;

            /* instantiated types */
            sizeof(myinstance_t),//instance_size;
            0,                  //n_preallocs;
            (GInstanceInitFunc)my_instance_init_func, //instance_init;

            /* value handling */
            NULL,               //value_table;
        };

        my_type_id = g_type_register_static(
                G_TYPE_OBJECT,
                "MyClass",
                &my_type_info,
                0
                );
    }
    return my_type_id;
}

void hello(GObject *sender, char* name, gpointer data) {
    printf("Hello world, [%s]!
",name); } void goodbye(GObject *sender, char* name, gpointer data) { myinstance_t *instance = G_TYPE_CHECK_INSTANCE_CAST( sender,get_my_typeid(),myinstance_t); printf("Goodbye world, [%s]! Message from [%s]. data is [%d]
", name, instance->name, *(int*)data); } int main() { g_type_init(); printf("Type id: %d
",get_my_typeid()); printf("Type name: %s
",g_type_name(get_my_typeid())); GValue *val = g_new0(GValue,1); // the first object myinstance_t *instance = (myinstance_t*)g_object_new(get_my_typeid(),NULL); int tmpvar = 42; g_signal_connect(instance,"my-signal",G_CALLBACK(hello),NULL); g_signal_connect(instance,"my-signal",G_CALLBACK(goodbye),&tmpvar); g_signal_emit_by_name(instance,"my-signal","cloverprince"); g_object_unref(instance); g_free(val); return 0; }

A signal is created using g_signal_new.
void my_class_init_func(myclass_t* klass, gpointer data) {
    int signal_id = g_signal_new(
            "my-signal",
            get_my_typeid(),
            G_SIGNAL_RUN_LAST,
            0,
            NULL,
            NULL,
            g_cclosure_marshal_VOID__STRING,
            G_TYPE_NONE,
            1,
            G_TYPE_STRING,
            NULL
            );
}

You need a name for it.  It should be a combination of lower-case letters and hyphens ('-').  You also need to specify the class it associtated to.  Then you tell it the type of the parameters as well as the return value of the signal handler.
A GSignalCMarshaller is required.  It is specific to each combination of parameter types and return-value type.  There are many such marshaller functions provided by default.  If there is not one for yours, you can create one with the glib-genmarshal command-line utility.
Signals are connected to functions with g_signal_connect and emitted with g_signal_emit or g_signal_emit_by_name.
Note that the first parameter of each signal handler function is always a GObject pointer pointing to the object which emitted the signal.  The last parameter is the custom data provided in g_signal_connedt.  The parameters in between are those specified in g_signal_new.
