Expand description

The central trait for defining a GObject interface.

Links together the type name, the empty instance and class structs for type registration and allows hooking into various steps of the type registration and initialization.

See register_interface for registering an implementation of this trait with the type system.

Required Associated Constants§

Source

const NAME: &'static str

GObject type name.

This must be unique in the whole process.

Provided Associated Constants§

Source

const ALLOW_NAME_CONFLICT: bool = false

Allow name conflicts for this class.

By default, trying to register a type with a name that was registered before will panic. If this is set to true then a new name will be selected by appending a counter.

This is useful for defining new types in Rust library crates that might be linked multiple times in the same process.

A consequence of setting this to true is that it’s not guaranteed that glib::Type::from_name(Self::NAME).unwrap() == Self::type_().

Note that this is not allowed for dynamic types. If a dynamic type is registered and a type with that name exists already, it is assumed that they’re the same.

Optional.

Required Associated Types§

Source

type Prerequisites: PrerequisiteList

Prerequisites for this interface.

Any implementer of the interface must be a subclass of the prerequisites or implement them in case of interfaces.

Source

type Instance

The C instance struct. This is usually either std::ffi::c_void or a newtype wrapper around it.

Optional

Source

type Interface: InterfaceStruct<Type = Self>

The C class struct.

Provided Methods§

Source

fn type_init(_type_: &mut InitializingType<Self>)

Additional type initialization.

This is called right after the type was registered and allows interfaces to do additional type-specific initialization.

Optional

Source

fn interface_init(_klass: &mut Self::Interface)

Interface initialization.

This is called after type_init and before the first implementor of the interface is created. Interfaces can use this to do interface- specific initialization, e.g. for installing signals on the interface, and for setting default implementations of interface functions.

Optional

Source

fn properties() -> &'static [ParamSpec]

Properties installed for this interface.

All implementors of the interface must provide these properties.

Source

fn signals() -> &'static [Signal]

Signals installed for this interface.

Dyn Compatibility§

This trait is not dyn compatible.

In older versions of Rust, dyn compatibility was called "object safety", so this trait is not object safe.
