gtk+-4.0 and gtkmm-4.0 are future API/ABI-breaking versions of gtk+ and
gtkmm.
gtk_init() in gtk+-4.0 does not take argc and argv arguments any more.
Therefore Gtk::Application::create() does not use those arguments. They
are just saved and used by Gtk::Application::run(). There are run()
overloads that also take argc and argv arguments. Removing that create()
overload and the corresponding constructor would result in the cleanest
and most logical API. A drawback is that it requires an extra change in
many (probably most) gtkmm applications when they are upgraded to
gtkmm-4.0. For instance in more than a hundred example programs in
gtkmm-documentation.
I suggest that we remove Gtk::Application::create(argc, argv,
application_id, flags) despite the drawback.
Comments?
