Subject: G-Golf - <g-simple-action> with custom parameter type
Date: Fri, 17 Nov 2023 19:44:17 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <253f3e43-59a6-4119-9aa6-9fbfcf02366e@gmail.com> (raw)

I'd like to ask a question regarding composite parameter types in
<g-simple-action>.

I'm trying to port my simple pygobject/gtk4 app into g-golf; & it's
been going pretty well; however, I've hit a roadblock. In the python
version, I define several `Gio.SimpleAction`s to attach to my
`Gtk.Application` with explicitly specified GVariantTypes, so that I
can activate them with arguments over D-Bus. The following works just
fine, allowing me to activate this action over the CLI via gdbus:

``` python
class OwnGtkApplication(Gtk.Application):
     def __init__(self, **kwargs):
         ## etc.
         new_simple_action = Gio.SimpleAction.new(
             "the_name", GLib.VariantType.new("(uus)")
             )
         self.add_action(new_simple_action)
         ## etc.

     ## later on
     def do_activate(self):
         ## etc.
         self.lookup_action("new_simple_action").connect(
             "activate", self.the_callback)
         ## etc.

     ## later on
     def the_callback(self, the_obj, the_param):
         one_uint32 = the_param.get_child_value(0).get_uint32()
         one_more = the_param.get_child_value(1).get_uint32()
         a_string = the_param.get_child_value(2).get_string()

         ## -- now use the extracted values
```

Under g-golf, however, I can't define a <g-simple-action> with
parameters. So the following runs:

``` guile
(define (activate app)
   (let* ;; etc., etc.,
     ((a-new-simple (make <g-simple-action> #:name "the_name")))

     (add-action app a-new-simple)
     (connect a-new-simple 'activate (lambda (s-action g-variant)
       (log-msg 'WARN g-variant)))
     )
)
```

& the log message just prints `#f`; but whenever I try to add the
`#:parameter_type` keyword to `(make <g-simple-action>)`, I get an
unbound variable error. `glib-variant-type-new` doesn't seem to exist;
and I don't understand what `g-type-param-variant` does -- or whether
it's relevant to my case.

I've tried:
```
#:parameter-type `(,g-type-param-uint ,g-type-param-uint
,g-type-param-string)
```

But this gives me:
```
In procedure primitive-call-ip: Wrong type argument in position 1 
(expecting PRIMITIVE_P): #<procedure 7f5412336940 (_ _ _ _ _ _ _)>

ERROR: In procedure foreign-call: Wrong type argument in position 1 
(expecting POINTER_P): (#<procedure 7f5412e5b280 ()> #<procedure 
7f5412e5b280 ()> #<procedure 7f5412e5b160 ()>)
```

... but then I'm back to square one; because I don't know how to
package a '(uus)' type, and return only the pointer to it.

I really hope that it's possible to do what I'm trying to do under 
Guile, because
I've really been enjoying my learning experience so far.

Thanks,

Alptekin Sanlı
