class: ValueArray

[23:7] extends: object

A GValueArray is a container structure to hold an array of generic values. The prime purpose of a GValueArray is for it to be used as an object property that holds an array of values. A GValueArray wraps an array of GValue elements in order for it to be used as a boxed type through G_TYPE_VALUE_ARRAY. GValueArray is deprecated in favour of GArray since GLib 2.32. It is possible to create a GArray that behaves like a GValueArray by using the size of GValue as the element size, and by setting [method@GObject.Value.unset] as the clear function using [func@GLib.Array.set_clear_func], for instance, the following code: c GValueArray *array = g_value_array_new (10); can be replaced by: c GArray *array = g_array_sized_new (FALSE, TRUE, sizeof (GValue), 10); g_array_set_clear_func (array, (GDestroyNotify) g_value_unset);

Methods

• ValueArray (Handle = null)

  Creates a new ValueArray by wrapping a native handle or another wrapper.

  • @p Handle is the native handle or another wrapper whose handle to adopt.

• toNativeHandle (Source)

  Normalizes a constructor argument into a raw pointer carrier. Accepts a raw NativeHandle, a raw NativeBuffer returned from fn.call(...), another generated wrapper exposing handle(), or null. Returns null when the argument carries no pointer.

  • @p Source is the raw handle, raw buffer, wrapper, or null.
  • @r A raw pointer carrier or null when no pointer is present.

• getLib ()

  Returns the opened native library for this generated wrapper.

  • @r The opened native library.

• handle ()

  Returns the wrapped NativeHandle.

  • @r The wrapped NativeHandle.

• isNull ()

  Returns true when the wrapped handle is null.

  • @r A bool.

• describe ()

  Returns a small string for debugging generated wrappers.

  • @r A string.
