I have an object with a string property as such:
class My:Example from G:Object
{
..
private char *databasePath destroywith g_free;
..
property STRING databasePath
( nick = "databasePath",
blurb = "Full path to database",
default_value = "/tmp/database.db" )
set
{
g_free (selfp->databasePath);
selfp->databasePath = g_value_dup_string (VAL);
}
get
{
g_value_set_string (VAL, selfp->databasePath);
};
..
From the documentation, I am assuming this will be set after GET_NEW:
> Almost all types also have a 'default_value' attribute which sets
> the initial value of this property (on object initialization, the
> set handler will be run automatically with this value). This value
> will be overriden if the user sets a value of this property on the
> call to g_object_new.
The set handler is never getting called and selfp->databasePath is
NULL after GET_NEW.
I can set the property during g_object_new () or once instantiated
with g_object_set ().
Why aren't the default values being properly set?
