| This file documents various major decisions which affect GLib development, |
| giving a brief rationale of each decision, plus a link to further discussion. |
| |
| |
| * Compiler attributes: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=113075#c46 |
| |
| GLib uses GIR annotations instead of compiler attributes. They are tidier, |
| already supported by GLib and GNOME tools, and accomplish the same task as |
| compiler attributes. GLib does not provide macros for attributes like |
| nonnull because it would not use them. |
| |
| * Main loop API: |
| |
| The ID-based mainloop APIs (g_idle_add, g_timeout_add, etc) are considered |
| legacy, and new features (such as g_source_set_static_name) will only be |
| added to the explicit GSource APIs. |
