Constructor Details

ObjectExpression

public ObjectExpression(MemorySegment address)

Create a ObjectExpression proxy instance for the provided memory address.

Parameters:

address - the memory address of the native object

ObjectExpression

public ObjectExpression(GObject object)

Creates an expression evaluating to the given object with a weak reference.

Once the object is disposed, it will fail to evaluate.

This expression is meant to break reference cycles.

If you want to keep a reference to object, use ConstantExpression(org.gnome.glib.Type, java.lang.Object...).

Parameters:

object - object to watch

Method Details

getType

public static Type getType()

Get the GType of the ObjectExpression class

Returns:

the GType

asParent

protected ObjectExpression asParent()

Returns this instance as if it were its parent type. This is mostly synonymous to the Java super keyword, but will set the native typeclass function pointers to the parent type. When overriding a native virtual method in Java, "chaining up" with super.methodName() doesn't work, because it invokes the overridden function pointer again. To chain up, call asParent().methodName(). This will call the native function pointer of this virtual method in the typeclass of the parent type.

Overrides:

asParent in class Expression

getObject

public GObject getObject()

Gets the object that the expression evaluates to.

Returns:

the object, or NULL
