GFC-Core is a C++ interface that allows access to the GLib library, providing developers with a powerful set of tools for building applications.
At the heart of this library is the GFC-Core object and utility library. This incredibly versatile library provides support for a range of applications, including the likes of GFC-UI. One of the key features of GFC-Core is its C++ wrapper for the GLib object system and utility libraries. This means that developers can use GLib and GFC-Core together to create applications that are both powerful and flexible.
Additional features include a typesafe system of C++ signal and slots, automatic memory management, and an optimized virtual signal handler system. These tools help to make GFC-Core a major asset to developers of all levels.
Of course, as with any powerful tool, there are requirements. To use GFC-Core effectively, you will need to have gcc-3.2 or higher, libsigc++ 2.0.0 or higher, glib-2.4.0 or higher, and gthread-2.4.0 or higher installed on your system.
Recent updates to the library have further enhanced its functionality. The latest version of GFC-Core comes with a new virtual signal handler system, which is optimized for speed and performance. It also uses the libsigc2 C++ callback library to implement a typesafe system of C++ signals and slots, and GFC objects can now be created dynamically or on the stack.
Other updates include the removal of GObject properties from classes that provide getter and setter functions, the addition of G::Module (a C++ wrapper for GModule), and a change to the C++ header file extension from .h to .hh to avoid confusion with C header files.
All of these changes and improvements have been implemented to make GFC-Core even more user-friendly and efficient than before. Whether you are a seasoned developer or just starting out, GFC-Core has everything you need to create top-quality GTK+ applications on Linux systems.
