GSignalFlags

The signal flags are used to specify a signal's behaviour.

Values

ValueMeaning
RunFirst1

Invoke the object method handler in the first emission stage.

RunLast2

Invoke the object method handler in the third emission stage.

RunCleanup4

Invoke the object method handler in the last emission stage.

NoRecurse8

Signals being emitted for an object while currently being in emission for this very object will not be emitted recursively, but instead cause the first emission to be restarted.

Detailed16

This signal supports "::detail" appendices to the signal name upon handler connections and emissions.

Action32

Action signals are signals that may freely be emitted on alive objects from user code via gobject.global.signalEmit and friends, without the need of being embedded into extra code that performs pre or post emission adjustments on the object. They can also be thought of as object methods which can be called generically by third-party code.

NoHooks64

No emissions hooks are supported for this signal.

MustCollect128

Varargs signal emission will always collect the arguments, even if there are no signal handlers connected. Since 2.30.

Deprecated256

The signal is deprecated and will be removed in a future version. A warning will be generated if it is connected while running with G_ENABLE_DIAGNOSTIC=1. Since 2.32.

AccumulatorFirstRun131072

Only used in #GSignalAccumulator accumulator functions for the #GSignalInvocationHint::run_type field to mark the first call to the accumulator function for a signal emission. Since 2.68.
