[Gtk2hs-users] g_object_get_property.... Could it be changed to safe?

[J H]

Hi all-

I've used bindings-gobject to create a new widget with its own property...
And everything worked great with gtk2hs except one small thing. "get"
(which wraps g_object_get_property) is declared as an unsafe ffi call, so
when it tried to call my haskell getter function, it failed. Upon simply
deleting the word "unsafe" from line 126 in System/Glib/Properties.chs,
everything worked.

Is this something that could be changed in the official release?

thanks

Jamshid

Hm. At the moment, gtk2hs doesn't really support creating new widgets
from within Haskell. So it doesn't surprise me that something breaks if
you find a way to do that. I'm personally pretty happy turning unsafe
FFI calls to safe ones; but is this the only thing that will need to
change? I wonder what other unsafe calls assume that all widgets are
implemented in C?

So far, this is all I have run into, but admittedly I haven't done
extensive testing.

If you want, I can get my lib further along, and do more testing and give
you a summary of what I find. It might be easier to get a handle on how
big of a conversion project this will be at that time....
