//! `IMPL` The `glib_wrapper!` macro and miscellaneous wrapper traits.

/// Defines a wrapper type and implements the appropriate traits.
///
/// The basic syntax is
///
/// ```ignore
/// glib_wrapper! {
///     /// Your documentation goes here
///     pub struct $name($kind<$foreign>);
///
///     match fn {
///         $fn_name => /* a closure-like expression */,
///         ...
///     }
/// }
/// ```
///
/// This creates a wrapper named `$name` around the foreign type
/// `$foreign` of `$kind` — one of [`Boxed`][#boxed],
/// [`Shared`][#shared], or [`Object`][#object].
///
/// Inside the `match fn` block there are closure-like expressions to
/// provide ways of copying/freeing, or referencing/unreferencing the
/// value that you are wrapping.  These expressions will be evaluated
/// in an `unsafe` context, since they frequently invoke `extern`
/// functions from an FFI crate.
///
/// What follows is a description of each of the possible `$kind`:
/// [`Boxed`][#boxed], [`Shared`][#shared], and [`Object`][#object];
/// note that each supports different sets of `$fn_name` inside the
/// `match fn` block.  Also, `Object` may require you to specify
/// things like the class struct to wrap, plus any interfaces that the
/// class implements.
///
/// ### Boxed
///
/// Boxed records with single ownership.
///
/// With no registered `glib_ffi::GType`:
///
/// ```ignore
/// glib_wrapper! {
///     /// Text buffer iterator
///     pub struct TextIter(Boxed<ffi::GtkTextIter>);
///
///     match fn {
///         copy => |ptr| ffi::gtk_text_iter_copy(ptr),
///         free => |ptr| ffi::gtk_text_iter_free(ptr),
///     }
/// }
/// ```
///
/// `copy`: `|*const $foreign| -> *mut $foreign` creates a copy of the value.
///
/// `free`: `|*mut $foreign|` frees the value.
///
/// With a registered `glib_ffi::GType`:
///
/// ```ignore
/// glib_wrapper! {
///     /// Text buffer iterator
///     pub struct TextIter(Boxed<ffi::GtkTextIter>);
///
///     match fn {
///         copy     => |ptr| ffi::gtk_text_iter_copy(ptr),
///         free     => |ptr| ffi::gtk_text_iter_free(ptr),
///         get_type => ||    ffi::gtk_text_iter_get_type(),
///     }
/// }
/// ```
///
/// `get_type`: `|| -> glib_ffi::GType` (optional) returns the
/// `glib_ffi::GType` that corresponds to the foreign struct.
///
/// ### Shared
///
/// Records with reference-counted, shared ownership.
///
/// With no registered `glib_ffi::GType`:
///
/// ```ignore
/// glib_wrapper! {
///     /// Object holding timing information for a single frame.
///     pub struct FrameTimings(Shared<ffi::GdkFrameTimings>);
///
///     match fn {
///         ref   => |ptr| ffi::gdk_frame_timings_ref(ptr),
///         unref => |ptr| ffi::gdk_frame_timings_unref(ptr),
///     }
/// }
/// ```
///
/// `ref`: `|*mut $foreign|` increases the refcount.
///
/// `unref`: `|*mut $foreign|` decreases the refcount.
///
/// With a registered `glib_ffi::GType`:
///
/// ```ignore
/// glib_wrapper! {
///     /// Object holding timing information for a single frame.
///     pub struct FrameTimings(Shared<ffi::GdkFrameTimings>);
///
///     match fn {
///         ref      => |ptr| ffi::gdk_frame_timings_ref(ptr),
///         unref    => |ptr| ffi::gdk_frame_timings_unref(ptr),
///         get_type => ||    ffi::gdk_frame_timings_get_type(),
///     }
/// }
/// ```
///
/// `get_type`: `|| -> glib_ffi::GType` (optional) returns the
/// `glib_ffi::GType` that corresponds to the foreign struct.
///
/// ### Object
///
/// Objects -- classes and interfaces.  Note that the class name, if
/// available, must be specified after the $foreign type; see below
/// for [non-derivable classes][#non-derivable-classes].
///
/// The basic syntax is this:
///
/// ```ignore
/// glib_wrapper! {
///     /// Your documentation goes here
///     pub struct InstanceName(Object<ffi::InstanceStruct, ffi::ClassStruct>):
///         ParentClass, GrandparentClass, ...,
///         Interface1, Interface2, ...;
///
///     match fn {
///         get_type => || ffi::instance_get_type(),
///     }
/// }
/// ```
///
/// `get_type`: `|| -> glib_ffi::GType` returns the `glib_ffi::GType`
/// that corresponds to the foreign class.
///
/// #### All parent classes must be specified
///
/// In the example above, "`ParentClass, GrandparentClass, ...,`" is where you must specify all the
/// parent classes of the one you are wrapping.  It is not necessary to specify the uppermost
/// `GObject` or `GInitiallyUnowned` parent classes.
///
/// For example, `ffi::GtkWindowGroup` derives directly from
/// `GObject`, so it can be simply wrapped as follows:
///
/// ```ignore
/// glib_wrapper! {
///     pub struct WindowGroup(Object<ffi::GtkWindowGroup, ffi::GtkWindowGroupClass>);
///
///     match fn {
///         get_type => || ffi::gtk_window_group_get_type(),
///     }
/// }
/// ```
///
/// In contrast, `ffi::GtkButton` has a parent, grandparent, etc. classes, which must be specified:
///
/// ```ignore
/// glib_wrapper! {
///     pub struct Button(Object<ffi::GtkButton>): Bin, Container, Widget;
///         // see note on interfaces in the example below
///
///     match fn {
///         get_type => || ffi::gtk_button_get_type(),
///     }
/// }
/// ```
///
/// #### Objects which implement interfaces
///
/// The example above is incomplete, since `ffi::GtkButton` actually implements two interfaces,
/// `Buildable` and `Actionable`.  In this case, they must be specified after all the parent classes:
///
/// ```ignore
/// glib_wrapper! {
///     pub struct Button(Object<ffi::GtkButton>):
///         Bin, Container, Widget, // parent classes
///         Buildable, Actionable;  // interfaces
///
///     match fn {
///         get_type => || ffi::gtk_button_get_type(),
///     }
/// }
/// ```
///
/// #### Wrapping objects with parents/interfaces from different crates
///
/// Implementing types whose parents or interfaces come from different
/// crates requires specifying the wrapped names of the
/// parents/interfaces and their FFI counterparts as well.  Note that
/// these must be specified inside square brackets "`[]`", as
/// comma-delimited pairs like
/// "`crate_name::WrappedName => ffi_crate_name::Name`".
///
/// Here, note that the parent class for `ffi::GtkApplication` is
/// `gio::Application`, which is the Rust wrapper for
/// `gio_ffi::GApplication`.  Similarly, the `ActionGroup` and
/// `ActionMap` interfaces, and their corresponding ffi structs, come
/// from different crates.
///
/// ```ignore
/// glib_wrapper! {
///     pub struct Application(Object<ffi::GtkApplication, ffi::GtkApplicationClass>): [
///         gio::Application => gio_ffi::GApplication,
///         gio::ActionGroup => gio_ffi::GActionGroup,
///         gio::ActionMap   => gio_ffi::GActionMap,
///     ];
///
///     match fn {
///         get_type => || ffi::gtk_application_get_type(),
///     }
/// }
/// ```
///
/// #### Non-derivable classes
///
/// By convention, GObject implements "final" classes, i.e. those who
/// cannot be subclassed, by *not* exposing a public Class struct.
/// This way it is not possible to override any methods, as there are
/// no `klass.method_name` fields to overwrite.  In this case, don't
/// specify a class name at all in the `Object<>` part:
///
/// ```ignore
/// glib_wrapper! {
///     pub struct Clipboard(Object<ffi::GtkClipboard>);
///     ...
/// }
/// ```
///
/// [#boxed]: #boxed
/// [#shared]: #shared
/// [#object]: #object
/// [#non-derivable-classes]: #non-derivable-classes
