gtk:dialog-new-with-buttons missing

[daym]

dialog:new-with-buttons is missing. Maybe because of the varargs ?

It would be nice to have a list of all such varargs-functions in gi, which are missing in guile-gi. Does it exist ?

Reading Gtk source, this function does some extra stuff.

  dialog = GTK_DIALOG (gtk_dialog_new_empty (title, parent, flags));
  gtk_dialog_add_buttons_valist (dialog, first_button_text, args);

... where gtk_dialog_new_empty is not exported. It is:

  dialog = g_object_new (GTK_TYPE_DIALOG,
                         "use-header-bar", (flags & GTK_DIALOG_USE_HEADER_BAR) != 0,
                         NULL);

  if (title)
    gtk_window_set_title (GTK_WINDOW (dialog), title);

  if (parent)
    gtk_window_set_transient_for (GTK_WINDOW (dialog), parent);

  if (flags & GTK_DIALOG_MODAL)
    gtk_window_set_modal (GTK_WINDOW (dialog), TRUE);

  if (flags & GTK_DIALOG_DESTROY_WITH_PARENT)
    gtk_window_set_destroy_with_parent (GTK_WINDOW (dialog), TRUE);

  return GTK_WIDGET (dialog);

symbol->dialog-flags is missing, too.

Rather than trying to generate a list of functions, that are missing, you might want to try (gi documentation) for generating reference documentation for what does exist. Since you are already acquainted with require and load, you can also wrap some of your load calls in (apply peek 'some-debug-key [YOUR LOAD HERE]) to see what symbols get defined.

Alternatively, you can also enable debug messages to see what gets/doesn't get loaded in real time along with information on what goes wrong where.

symbol->dialog-flags is missing, too.

Because they're flags. You have list->dialog-flags and number->dialog-flags.

      <constructor name="new_with_buttons"
                   c:identifier="gtk_dialog_new_with_buttons"
                   introspectable="0">
      [...]
      </constructor>

Yeah, that seems to be a feature.

Implementing that myself, I need to read the gtk source code and do some arcane stuff:

(define (dialog:add-buttons dialog buttons-and-responses)
  (for-each
    (match-lambda
     ((text response)
      (dialog:add-button dialog text response)))
    buttons-and-responses)
  dialog)

(define (dialog:new-with-buttons title parent flags . buttons-and-responses)
  (let ((dialog (make <GtkDialog> #:use-header-bar (and (member 'use-header-bar flags) #t)))
    (set-title dialog title)
    (set-transient-for dialog parent)
    (when (member 'modal flags)
      (set-modal dialog #t))
    (when (member 'destroy-with-parent flags)
      (set-destroy-with-parent dialog #t))
    (dialog:add-buttons dialog buttons-and-responses)
    dialog))

Therefore, I filed a bug report upstream: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/-/issues/3311
