Historical

Replacements for GTK+ and GLib

There are several classes etc., which are used for tasks formerly (in the GTK+ version of dillo) achieved by GtkObject (in 1.2.x, this is part of Gtk+) and GLib. For an overview on all this, take a look at Lots of Useful Tools.

GtkObject is replaced by the following:

• object::Object is a common base class for many classes used dillo. In the namespace object, there are also some more common classes and interfaces.

• A sub class of object::Object is identity::IdentifiableObject, which allows to determine the class at run-time (equivalent to GTK_CHECK_CAST in GtkObject).

• For signals, there is the namespace signal.

Hash tables, linked lists etc. can be found in the container namespace, several useful macros from GLib have been implemented as inline functions in the misc namespace.

As an alternative to the macros defined in list.h, there is also a template class, misc::SimpleVector, which does the same.
