Patch from sjokkis (not reviewed): http://cgit.freedesktop.org/~sjokkis/telepathy-glib/log/?h=presence-changed

Quick review:

Use tp_value_array_unpack() to unpack the value array. Don't look up offsets into the array (I know that's what the old code does, but it's nasty).

+ if (contact->priv->presence_type != type) {
+ contact->priv->presence_type = type;
+ g_object_notify ((GObject *) contact, "presence-type");
+ }

Not in Telepathy style. Telepathy style is documented in http://telepathy.freedesktop.org/wiki/Style -- also applies to the other if blocks.

+ gchar *status = g_value_dup_string (presence->values+1);
+ if (tp_strdiff(contact->priv->presence_status, status)) {
+ g_free (contact->priv->presence_status);
+ contact->priv->presence_status = status;
+ g_object_notify ((GObject *) contact, "presence-status");
+ }
+ g_free(status);

Memory management is incorrect here. If you use tp_value_array_unpack() you'll be given a const char * that you don't need to free, so you can just do:

+ g_free (contact->priv->presence_status);
+ contact->priv->presence_status = g_strdup (status);

Adds TpContact::presence-changed signal

Changed the criticisms above. Should be fine now. Let me know if it isn't, and I'll get on it ASAP.

Review of attachment 36205 [details] [review]:

This mostly looks good; I'd like a few minor changes.

I'd prefer "Emitted when this contact's presence changes"; then it's meaningful even if you haven't read the Telepathy D-Bus API recently.

I don't think this comment actually adds much value, though, so I'd be inclined to just delete it.

Use a literal "3" for the second argument; it's used as a sanity check (to be able to warn/abort the number of arguments that follow it doesn't match presence->n_values), and using presence->n_values defeats that.

Make TpContact emit a presence-changed signal

   g_object_notify ((GObject *) contact, "presence-type");

I have one remaining concern here, which is that this changes the behaviour of notify::presence-* - previously, all three properties were updated before emitting any of the notification signals (which seems most useful to me), but now, they're updated one at a time.

If you have time to correct this before I do a telepathy-glib 0.19.7 release today, great; if not, I'll probably apply your patch, make the change myself, and get someone else to review it.

Thanks for your patience!
