Known issues and limitations
Parsing more than 750 .h header files is not an easy task. So gtk-fortran can not implement 100% of GTK functions and constants and have some limitations:
- Around 135 functions with optional arguments (variadic fuctions) are not implemented. But these functions are often also available with an array argument to solve binding problems (for example
gtk_list_store_new/gtk_list_store_newv). See http://live.gnome.org/GObjectIntrospection/WritingBindingableAPIs - Very few GTK types are not yet implemented.
- Macro functions and constants (
#define) are not implemented. - Structures (
struct) are not implemented. - Some enums are excluded by cfwrapper.py: "GSocketFamily", "GSocketMsgFlags", "GdkPixdataType", "GIOCondition", "GDBusInterfaceSkeletonFlags", "GdkSeatCapabilities", "GdkAxisFlags".
- Fortran has no unsigned integers, so problems could occur if you pass great values between Fortran and GTK. See the
tests.f90file.
