gtk+-4.0 and gtkmm-4.0 are future
API/ABI-breaking versions of gtk+ and gtkmm. gtk_init() in gtk+-4.0 does not take argc and argv arguments any more. Therefore Gtk::Application::create() does not use those arguments. They are just saved and used by Gtk::Application::run(). There are run() overloads that also take argc and argv arguments. Removing that create() overload and the corresponding constructor would result in the cleanest and most logical API. A drawback is that it requires an extra change in many (probably most) gtkmm applications when they are upgraded to gtkmm-4.0. For instance in more than a hundred example programs in gtkmm-documentation. I suggest that we remove
Gtk::Application::create(argc, argv, application_id, flags)
despite the drawback. Kjell |
