Description Danielle Madeley 2010-06-25 00:25:11 UTC
It would be really great to do a bindable version of tp_proxy_has_interface().
Comment 1 Simon McVittie 2010-07-13 03:48:33 UTC
Fixed in my trivia branch, please review.
Comment 2 Danielle Madeley 2010-07-13 19:11:26 UTC
All 6 ++

Although why (skip) the getters? Seems a little inconsistent since in general they're not skipped throughout the rest of the API.

Sorry, forgot to close this; Guillaume reviewed the branch and also approved it. Fixed in git for 0.11.11.

If we have properties, is there much/any value in having getters too, for g-i? For instance, in Python (assuming we bound this file at all):

    my_base_client.props.dbus_daemon
    my_base_client.get_dbus_daemon()

I basically consider these duplicate getters to be "C bindings" for the properties, rather than a feature in their own right. Is that appropriate?

(This is more of a concern for getters that are called borrow_foo or dup_foo because of their C semantics, which should basically be turned into "get" by bindings anyway - if we keep these visible, we need to be careful to have the g-i name for these be appropriate, perhaps with the "Rename to:" annotation, if that works these days.)
