TypeValueTable

class TypeValueTable(*args, **kwargs)

The TypeValueTable provides the functions required by the Value implementation, to serve as a container for values of a type.

Fields

class TypeValueTable

collect_format

A string format describing how to collect the contents of this value bit-by-bit. Each character in the format represents an argument to be collected, and the characters themselves indicate the type of the argument. Currently supported arguments are:

• 'i': Integers, passed as collect_values[].v_int

• 'l': Longs, passed as collect_values[].v_long

• 'd': Doubles, passed as collect_values[].v_double

• 'p': Pointers, passed as collect_values[].v_pointer

It should be noted that for variable argument list construction, ANSI C promotes every type smaller than an integer to an int, and floats to doubles. So for collection of short int or char, 'i' needs to be used, and for collection of floats 'd'.

collect_value

Function to initialize a GValue from the values collected from variadic arguments

lcopy_format

Format description of the arguments to collect for lcopy_value, analogous to collect_format. Usually, lcopy_format string consists only of 'p'’s to provide lcopy_value() with pointers to storage locations.

lcopy_value

Function to store the contents of a value into the locations collected from variadic arguments

value_copy

Function to copy a GValue

value_free

Function to free a GValue

value_init

Function to initialize a GValue

value_peek_pointer

Function to peek the contents of a GValue if they fit into a pointer
