I don't know if anyone ever reads this journal. /. just doesn't seem to be that kind of place. I'm just writing to announce that Gt is on track and partly working. Signals and slots are there and the basic framework exists - now there are two things left polishing the framework and wrapping GTK+. Sounds like fun!

Ah, the link is: http://www.digitalfanatics.org/projects/gt.

Ok, it was a while since I entered something into my journal (I think that the new verb is "blogged"). This is just a small update.

Gt has a moc, it works, but the exception handing (and thus the error feedback) is not good. It will be available from http://www.digitalfanatics.org/projects/gt/.

After thinking alot about how to manage signals and slots in Gt I have decided to redo the project, but in a more Qt-like way.

The following issues have come up:

• A moc makes things easier and better looking.
• A moc can easily be implemented in Perl.
• A moc makes it easier to wrap GTK into Gt.

I've gotten some more time to fiddle with GObject/GWidget and to try getting the signal/slot mechanism to work properly.

Now it seems to work, you can test connections and actually call 'em. The pointer can be of another class, e.g. a GObject pointer can dispatch signals in a GWidget object without knowing of them.
