ok, i agree that's good enough.
two minor things:
- g_static_private_set (&depth_private, depth_pointer, g_free);
wondering, is there really a scenariop where the location
could ever be freed?
- the reentrancy scenario:
* There is a temptation to use g_main_depth() to solve
* problems with reentrancy. For instance, while waiting for data
* to be received from the network in response to a menu item,
* the menu item might be selected again. It might seem that
* one could write:
*
* if (g_main_depth () > 1)
* return;
it's not entirely clear to me what you mean here, i.e. where
if (g_main_depth () > 1) return; would be inserted. so the docu
should be improved a bit to explain the scenario better.
