## Enumeration Type Documentation

anonymous enum

Enumerator
PRIORITY_HIGH | Use this for high priority event sources. It is not used within GLib or GTK+.
PRIORITY_DEFAULT | Use this for default priority event sources. In glibmm this priority is used by default when installing timeout handlers with SignalTimeout::connect(). In GDK this priority is used for events from the X server.
PRIORITY_HIGH_IDLE | Use this for high priority idle functions. GTK+ uses `PRIORITY_HIGH_IDLE + 10` for resizing operations, and `PRIORITY_HIGH_IDLE + 20` for redrawing operations. (This is done to ensure that any pending resizes are processed before any pending redraws, so that widgets are not redrawn twice unnecessarily.)
PRIORITY_DEFAULT_IDLE | Use this for default priority idle functions. In glibmm this priority is used by default when installing idle handlers with SignalIdle::connect().
PRIORITY_LOW | Use this for very low priority background tasks. It is not used within GLib or GTK+.

enum Glib::NotLock

Deprecated:
  Use Glib::Threads::NotLock instead.

## Function Documentation

sigc::connection Glib::add_exception_handler | ( | const sigc::slot< void > & | slot | ) |

Specify a slot to be called when an exception is thrown by a signal handler.

void Glib::file_set_contents | ( | const std::string & | filename,
|  | const gchar * | contents,
|  | gssize | length
| ) |  |

Writes all of contents to a file named filename, with good error checking.

Parameters

  filename | name of a file to write contents to, in the GLib file name encoding
  contents | string to write to the file
  length | length of contents, or -1 if contents is a nul-terminated string

If a file called filename already exists it will be overwritten.

This write is atomic in the sense that it is first written to a temporary file which is then renamed to the final name. Notes:

1. On Unix, if filename already exists hard links to filename will break. Also since the file is recreated, existing permissions, access control lists, metadata etc. may be lost. If filename is a symbolic link, the link itself will be replaced, not the linked file.
2. On Windows renaming a file will not remove an existing file with the new name, so on Windows there is a race condition between the existing file being removed and the temporary file being renamed.
3. On Windows there is no way to remove a file that is open to some process, or mapped into memory. Thus, this function will fail if filename already exists and is open.

If the call was not successful, an exception is thrown. Possible error codes are those in the FileError enumeration.

Since glibmm 2.22:

void Glib::file_set_contents | ( | const std::string & | filename,
|  | const std::string & | contents
| ) |  |

A variant of file_set_contents which accepts a standard C++ string.

Since glibmm 2.22:

gunichar Glib::get_unichar_from_std_iterator | ( | std::string::const_iterator | pos | ) |

Extract a UCS-4 character from UTF-8 data.

Convert a single UTF-8 (multibyte) character starting at `pos` to a UCS-4 wide character. This may read up to 6 bytes after the start position, depending on the UTF-8 character width. You have to make sure the source contains at least one valid UTF-8 character.

This is mainly used by the implementation of Glib::ustring::iterator, but it might be useful as utility function if you prefer using std::string even for UTF-8 encoding.

void Glib::init | ( |  | ) |

Initialize glibmm.

Call it before you use other parts of glibmm. You may call it more than once. Calls after the first one have no effect.

You do not need to call Glib::init() if you are using Gtk::Application or Gio::init(), because they call Glib::init() for you.

Examples:
  thread/dispatcher.cc, and thread/thread.cc.

void Glib::thread_init | ( | GThreadFunctions * | vtable = `nullptr` | ) |

Initializes the GLib thread system.

Deprecated:
  Calling thread_init() is no longer necessary and no longer has any effect.

bool Glib::thread_supported | ( |  | ) |

Returns whether the thread system is initialized.

Returns
  `true`, if the thread system is initialized.

Deprecated:
  This is no longer useful, because the thread system is always initialized.

template <class T >

T::BaseObjectType* Glib::unwrap | ( | T * | ptr | ) |

template <class T >

T::BaseObjectType* Glib::unwrap_copy | ( | const T & | obj | ) |

Get the underlying C instance from the C++ instance and acquire a reference or copy.

This is just like calling gobj_copy(), but it does its own check for a NULL pointer to the underlying C instance.

template <class T >

T::BaseObjectType* Glib::unwrap_copy | ( | const Glib::RefPtr< T >& | ptr | ) |
| inline

Get the underlying C instance from the C++ instance and acquire a reference.

This is just like calling gobj_copy(), but it does its own check for a NULL pointer.

template <class T >

const T::BaseObjectType* Glib::unwrap_copy | ( | const Glib::RefPtr< const T >& | ptr | ) |

void Glib::usleep | ( | unsigned long | microseconds | ) |
