NAME

Glib::Ex::SignalBits -- miscellaneous Glib signal helpers

SYNOPSIS

 use Glib::Ex::SignalBits;

FUNCTIONS

Accumulators

The following functions are designed for use as the "accumulator" in a signal created by Glib::Object::Subclass or Glib::Type->register_object(). The functions are trivial, but giving them names gets the right sense and order for the return values.

($cont, $ret) = Glib::Ex::SignalBits::accumulator_first ($hint, $acc, $ret)

Stop at and return the value from the first handler.

($cont, $ret) = Glib::Ex::SignalBits::accumulator_first_defined ($hint, $acc, $ret)

Stop at and return the first defined value, in the Perl sense. This means the first non-NULL Glib::Object, Glib::String, etc, or first non-undef Glib::Scalar.

Example

    use Glib::Object::Subclass
      'Gtk2::Widget',
      signals => {
        'make-title' => {
          param_types   => ['Glib::Int'],
          return_type   => 'Glib::String',
          flags         => ['run-last'],
          class_closure => \&my_default_make_title,
          accumulator   => \&Glib::Ex::SignalBits::accumulator_first_defined,
        },
      };

Don't forget to use Glib::Ex::SignalBits because a non-existent function in a signal accumulator will cause an abort() from Perl-Glib (as of version 1.220).

EXPORTS

Nothing is exported by default, but each function can be requested in usual Exporter style,

    use Glib::Ex::SignalBits 'accumulator_first';
    
    use Glib::Object::Subclass
      ... accumulator => \&accumulator_first
