dbus-glib-0.76-private.patch

dbus_bus_get_private is not exposed in dbus-glib.
Comment 1 Colin Walters 2009-01-27 15:52:35 UTC
* Small typo, should be "returns DBusGConnection".  
* Could use at least one test too.
Comment 2 Stian Skjelstad 2009-01-27 16:01:20 UTC
I now see that the documentation part was a bit too hasty:

+ * Returns a connection to the given bus. The connection is a global variable
+ * shared with other callers of this function.

Should probably have stated that

+ * Returns a connection to the given bus. The connection will be a private
+ * non-shared connection, that the caller should close when not used anymore.


I spent more time in testing the wrapper than finewriting the documentation

    Bug 19623 - Add dbus_g_bus_get_private
    
    Useful for cases where you have to get a private connection, among
    them to work around threading issues.
