Yes, you are right: https://developer.gnome.org/gdk-pixbuf/unstable/gdk-pixbuf-The-GdkPixbuf-Structure.html#gdk-pixbuf-get-pixels I don't think the function's return value ever changed in gdk-pixbuf and I can't find any reason why we used guint8* in Gdk::Pixbuf::get_pixels(). Maybe way back in 2003 we made some kind of decision to do so - if we did then we didn't add a comment about it. By the way, gdk_pixbuf_read_pixels(), which we don't wrap yet, does return guint8*. They are the same, so we could change it in gdkmm without breaking API or ABI: https://developer.gnome.org/glib/stable/glib-Basic-Types.html#guint8 https://developer.gnome.org/glib/stable/glib-Basic-Types.html#guchar -- Murray Cumming murr...@murrayc.com www.murrayc.com _______________________________________________ gtkmm-list mailing list gtkmm-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtkmm-list
