Function

GObjectparam_value_convert

Declaration

gboolean
g_param_value_convert (
  GParamSpec* pspec,
  const GValue* src_value,
  GValue* dest_value,
  gboolean strict_validation
)

Description

Transforms src_value into dest_value if possible, and then validates dest_value, in order for it to conform to pspec. If strict_validation is TRUE this function will only succeed if the transformed dest_value complied to pspec without modifications.
