Struct

GLibArray

Description [src] 

struct GArray {
  gchar* data;
  guint len;
}

Contains the public fields of a GArray.

Structure members
data

A pointer to the element data. The data may be moved as elements are added to the GArray.

len

The number of elements in the GArray not including the possible terminating zero element.

Functions

g_array_append_vals

Adds len elements onto the end of the array.

g_array_binary_search

Checks whether target exists in array by performing a binary search based on the given comparison function compare_func which get pointers to items as arguments. If the element is found, TRUE is returned and the element’s index is returned in out_match_index (if non-NULL). Otherwise, FALSE is returned and out_match_index is undefined. If target exists multiple times in array, the index of the first instance is returned. This search is using a binary search, so the array must absolutely be sorted to return a correct result (if not, the function may produce false-negative).

since: 2.62

g_array_copy

Create a shallow copy of a GArray. If the array elements consist of pointers to data, the pointers are copied but the actual data is not.

since: 2.62

g_array_free

Frees the memory allocated for the GArray. If free_segment is TRUE it frees the memory block holding the elements as well. Pass FALSE if you want to free the GArray wrapper but preserve the underlying array for use elsewhere. If the reference count of array is greater than one, the GArray wrapper is preserved but the size of array will be set to zero.

g_array_get_element_size

Gets the size of the elements in array.

since: 2.22

g_array_insert_vals

Inserts len elements into a GArray at the given index.

g_array_new

Creates a new GArray with a reference count of 1.

g_array_new_take

Creates a new GArray with data as array data, len as length and a reference count of 1.

since: 2.76

g_array_new_take_zero_terminated

Creates a new GArray with data as array data, computing the length of it and setting the reference count to 1.

since: 2.76

g_array_prepend_vals

Adds len elements onto the start of the array.

g_array_ref

Atomically increments the reference count of array by one. This function is thread-safe and may be called from any thread.

since: 2.22

g_array_remove_index

Removes the element at the given index from a GArray. The following elements are moved down one place.

g_array_remove_index_fast

Removes the element at the given index from a GArray. The last element in the array is used to fill in the space, so this function does not preserve the order of the GArray. But it is faster than g_array_remove_index().

g_array_remove_range

Removes the given number of elements starting at the given index from a GArray. The following elements are moved to close the gap.

since: 2.4

g_array_set_clear_func

Sets a function to clear an element of array.

since: 2.32

g_array_set_size

Sets the size of the array, expanding it if necessary. If the array was created with clear_ set to TRUE, the new elements are set to 0.

g_array_sized_new

Creates a new GArray with reserved_size elements preallocated and a reference count of 1. This avoids frequent reallocation, if you are going to add many elements to the array. Note however that the size of the array is still 0.

g_array_sort

Sorts a GArray using compare_func which should be a qsort()-style comparison function (returns less than zero for first arg is less than second arg, zero for equal, greater zero if first arg is greater than second arg).

g_array_sort_with_data

Like g_array_sort(), but the comparison function receives an extra user data argument.

g_array_steal

Frees the data in the array and resets the size to zero, while the underlying array is preserved for use elsewhere and returned to the caller.

since: 2.64

g_array_unref

Atomically decrements the reference count of array by one. If the reference count drops to 0, all memory allocated by the array is released. This function is thread-safe and may be called from any thread.

since: 2.22
