Package: libglib2.0-dev
Version: 2.16.3-2
Severity: wishlist
Hi,
glib currently provides g_dir_read_name for reading the contents of a
directory. It's a quite common operation to first get a directory entry
and stat() it directly afterwards. When using g_dir_read_name this
currently requires you build the full path name to the directory entry
using g_build_filename() (or something similar) and to call g_{,l}stat
for getting the file information.
This is not only unconvenient but also ineffective on platforms that
provide fstatat(). The patch at
http://files.perldition.org/g_dir_read_name_stat.patch
implements a g_dir_read_name_stat function that reads the name of the
next directory entry from a GDir, just like g_dir_read_name does, and
stats if afterwards. It uses fstatat() where available.
