callback registry code - working - needs review...

ok, with a bit of help from free(1) and gdb, I finaly worked out how to get it working.. The first part of the patch illustrates it's usage in gtkextra to handle callbacks for traverse, which has 2 pointers to integers which would normally just be blank using the standard callback handlers. The example does raise an interesting issue, as 2 of the arguments are Read/Write, but I've no idea how to deal with fetching their values at the end of the function call.. To define a module specific callback a) define the C code to recieve the data - convert the arguments into a Hash array. - call php_gtk_simple_signal_callback with the right values.. b) add a line php_gtk_register_callback( "GtkSheet::traverse", (GtkSignalFunc) php_gtk_sheet_callback_traverse); to the initialization section of the module. The patch a) replaces the standard gtk_signal_connect_impl with a method that checks the registry before assigning the handler. b) registers an extra global hash table to store the registry. c) provides a php_simple_signal_callback to do all the hard work of guessing the callback and handling any user data. Let me know if you can find any obvious mistakes, like not freeing memory (very likely).. Regards Alan -- Can you help out? Need Consulting Services or Know of a Job? http://www.akbkhome.com
