Method

GObjectValuetransform

Declaration [src]

gboolean
g_value_transform (
  const GValue* src_value,
  GValue* dest_value
)

Description [src]

Tries to cast the contents of src_value into a type appropriate to store in dest_value.

If a transformation is not possible, dest_value is not modified.

For example, this could transform a G_TYPE_INT value into a G_TYPE_FLOAT value.

Performing transformations between value types might incur precision loss. Especially transformations into strings might reveal seemingly arbitrary results and the format of particular transformations to strings is not guaranteed over time.

Parameters

dest_value

Type: GValue

Target value.

The data is owned by the caller of the method.

Return value

Type: gboolean

True on success; false otherwise.
