source: set.h @ a2b99ec

Last change on this file since a2b99ec was f9756bd, checked in by Wilmer van der Gaast <wilmer@…>, at 2008-03-30T21:26:16Z

Changed charset handling: irc_t keeps two iconv structures, which are just
used for every line sent and received, so now there's no need to use
g_iconv_open() every time a message comes in/out. Also, fixed a small
memory leak that was there for a long time but somehow never caught my
attention.

35   In short, it just keeps a linked list of settings/variables and it also
36   remembers a default value for every setting. And to prevent the user
37   from setting invalid values, you can write an evaluator function for
38   every setting, which can check a new value and block it by returning
39   NULL, or replace it by returning a new value. See struct set.eval.
40   One thing that is really missing here is additional data for the
41   evaluator. This could be useful to add minimum and maximum values for
