Public Types

using CppType = T
- Public Types inherited from Glib::VariantBase
using BoolExpr = const void*
This typedef is just to make it more obvious that our operator const void* should be used like operator bool(). More...

Additional Inherited Members

- Public Member Functions inherited from Glib::VariantBase
VariantBase ()
Constructs an invalid object. More...

VariantBase (GVariant* castitem, bool make_a_copy=false)
VariantBase (const VariantBase & src)
VariantBase & operator= (const VariantBase & src)

~VariantBase () noexcept
void swap ( VariantBase & other) noexcept
GVariant* gobj ()
const GVariant* gobj () const
GVariant* gobj_copy () const
Provides access to the underlying C instance. The caller is responsible for freeing it. Use when directly setting fields in structs. More...

operator BoolExpr () const

void init (const GVariant* cobject, bool take_a_reference=false)
Replace the underlying GVariant. More...

VariantType get_type () const
Determines the type of value . More...

std::string get_type_string () const
Returns the type string of value . More...

bool is_floating () const
Checks whether value has a floating reference count. More...

bool is_of_type (const VariantType & type) const
Checks if a value has a type matching the provided type. More...

bool is_container () const
Checks if value is a container. More...

GVariantClass classify () const
Classifies value according to its top-level type. More...

gsize get_size () const
Determines the number of bytes that would be required to store value with g_variant_store(). More...

gconstpointer get_data ()
Returns a pointer to the serialised form of a Variant instance. More...

gconstpointer get_data () const
Returns a pointer to the serialised form of a Variant instance. More...

Glib::RefPtr < const Glib::Bytes > get_data_as_bytes () const
Returns a pointer to the serialised form of a Variant instance. More...

void store (gpointer data) const
Stores the serialised form of value at data . More...

Glib::ustring print (bool type_annotate=false) const
Pretty-prints value in the format understood by g_variant_parse(). More...

guint hash () const
Generates a hash value for a Variant instance. More...

bool equal (const VariantBase & other) const
Checks if *this and other have the same type and value. More...

void get_normal_form ( VariantBase & result) const
Gets a VariantBase instance that has the same value as this variant and is trusted to be in normal form. More...

bool is_normal_form () const
Checks if value is in normal form. More...

void byteswap ( VariantBase & result) const
Performs a byteswapping operation on the contents of this variant. More...

bool check_format_string (const std::string & format_string, bool copy_only=false) const
Checks if calling g_variant_get() with format_string on value would be valid from a type-compatibility standpoint. More...
