[JDEV] move to glib before the code gets complicated?

[Kemal 'disq' Hadimli]

Hi.

  how about moving the entire project into glib?

  glib is General Library, runs on many platforms including windows and
many UNIXes, and has lots of useful functions. some of them are:
(cut-and-paste from glib.h :P )

 o Doubly and Singly linked linked lists
 o Hash tables
 o A lexical scanner
 o Caches and Balanced Binary Trees
 o N-way tree implementation
 o Callback functions
 o A logging mechanism
 o g_malloc() and other things (bugfixed string routines, etc), which are
different in some OSes
 o Timer functions
 o Easily-resizeable string functions (GString *)
 o Resizeable arrays
 o Quarks
 o Keyed data lists
 o Date functions, also a common date parser
 o Indexed relations
 o Easy to use modules (g_module_*)
 o Standardized threads (g_thread_*)
 o and some other cool things :P


current glib version is 1.2.1, and available in ftp.gtk.org and
several other mirrors. some extra documentation at glade.pn.org. (there's
also some documentation in the tarball)


yes, how about it?


bye,

NO (or Linux) is the answer.
