1This file documents various major decisions which affect GLib development,
2giving a brief rationale of each decision, plus a link to further discussion.

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.

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.
