[maemo-developers] [maemo-developers] A few questions about the development platforms internals

[From: Philip Van Hoof]

Hi there,

I was wondering 

o. Why isn't libosso created as a clean and correct GObject library?
This would have made it more easy to create language bindings. No?

I could imagine a GObject would be dangerous if you'd use a lot
threading (and then still it's manageable and are people working on
fixing those issues), but I don't see a lot other thread-safety related
code in the library. So I'm assuming that isn't an issue?

Because ... osso_context_t (and osso_af_context_t) isn't inheriting from
GObject. So that must mean that it isn't GObject? And if it would, I'd
rather make more objects in stead of only a context one (but, okay .. I
can live with that).

o. What is libmb?

freax at lort:~/cvs/maemo/trunk $ find . -name libmb.pc
freax at lort:~/cvs/maemo/trunk $ find . -name mb.pc
freax at lort:~/cvs/maemo/trunk $

o. What is libouto?

freax at lort:~/cvs/maemo/trunk $ find . -name outo
freax at lort:~/cvs/maemo/trunk $
