GObject usage in libsyncml

Hi,

actually I prepare the plans for the 0.6.x series of libsyncml. My idea
was to make the code ready for servers. Nevertheless I check the API
before I do this.

Do you think it is a good idea to use GObject for the libsyncml 0.6.x
series? I already plan to replace SmlBool and SmlError by gboolean and
GError. libsyncml should be more "object oriented" and glib is already
used by libsyncml. So perhaps GObject would help the people who like
more object oriented code even if it is still plain C.

It's just an idea ... so please give comments.

Best regards

Michael

Hi Michael,

It's going to be great to see GError in use (will work much nicer with
Vala, for a start).

One big advantage of a move to GOjbect is automatic binding generation
through gobject-introspection.

http://live.gnome.org/GObjectIntrospection/

This project also benefits Qt users:

http://www.kdedevelopers.org/node/3878
http://www.kdedevelopers.org/node/3894

And even without g-i, there are established (easy) ways to bind to
python, java, c# and i guess c++.

John
