1This file documents various major decisions which affect GLib development, 2giving a brief rationale of each decision, plus a link to further discussion. 3 4 5 * Compiler attributes: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=113075#c46 6 7 GLib uses GIR annotations instead of compiler attributes. They are tidier, 8 already supported by GLib and GNOME tools, and accomplish the same task as 9 compiler attributes. GLib does not provide macros for attributes like 10 nonnull because it would not use them. 11 12 * Main loop API: 13 14 The ID-based mainloop APIs (g_idle_add, g_timeout_add, etc) are considered 15 legacy, and new features (such as g_source_set_static_name) will only be 16 added to the explicit GSource APIs. 17
