hey, While experimenting a bit with the really nice api of libsystemd-bus (seriously, I love it), I came across an idea that would probably make using the library even easier.
The idea is to be able to read "trough" a variant using sd_bus_message_read() f.ex you get a message with signature "sv" with the variant being supposed to be an other string (since it is a reply to a request requesting a string). now one has to: 1. read the first string 2. enter the variant 3. read the second string 4. exit the variant what I would like to be able to do is something like this: sd_bus_message_read(m, "sv+s", &first, &second); which will error out if the variant does not contain a string. of course the "+" can be decided to be something else, I also thought of using "[" and "]" around the inner signature, but the basic idea stays the same. One of the biggest uses would probably be for reading properties, since org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties.Get() always returns a variant, but the reader knows which type it is supposed to be. Anyways, thanks for the library (a welcome change from libdbus) Simon _______________________________________________ systemd-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/systemd-devel
