<p>
This section outlines porting tasks that you need to tackle when
you get to the point that you actually build your application against
GTK+ 3. Making it possible to prepare for these in GTK+ 2.24 would
have been either impossible or impractical.

<a name="id-1.6.3.4.3"></a>Replace size_request by get_preferred_width/height</h3></div></div></div>
<p>
The request-phase of the traditional GTK+ geometry management
has been replaced by a more flexible height-for-width system,
which is described in detail in the API documentation
(see <a class="xref" href="GtkWidget.html#geometry-management" title="Height-for-width Geometry Management">the section called “Height-for-width Geometry Management”</a>). As a consequence,
the ::size-request signal and vfunc has been removed from
<a class="link" href="GtkWidget.html#GtkWidgetClass" title="struct GtkWidgetClass"><span class="type">GtkWidgetClass</span></a>. The replacement for <code class="function">size_request()</code> can
take several levels of sophistication:
</p>
<div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" style="list-style-type: disc; ">
<li class="listitem">
<p>
As a minimal replacement to keep current functionality,
you can simply implement the <a class="link" href="GtkWidget.html#GtkWidgetClass.get-preferred-width"><code class="function">GtkWidgetClass.get_preferred_width()</code></a> and
<a class="link" href="GtkWidget.html#GtkWidgetClass.get-preferred-height"><code class="function">GtkWidgetClass.get_preferred_height()</code></a> vfuncs by calling your existing
<code class="function">size_request()</code> function. So you go from

<p>If your widget can cope with a small size,
but would appreciate getting some more space (a common
example would be that it contains ellipsizable labels),
you can do that by making your <a class="link" href="GtkWidget.html#GtkWidgetClass.get-preferred-width"><code class="function">GtkWidgetClass.get_preferred_width()</code></a> /
<a class="link" href="GtkWidget.html#GtkWidgetClass.get-preferred-height"><code class="function">GtkWidgetClass.get_preferred_height()</code></a>
functions return a smaller value for <em class="parameter"><code>minimal</code></em> than for <em class="parameter"><code>natural</code></em>.
For <em class="parameter"><code>minimal</code></em>, you probably want to return the same value
that your <code class="function">size_request()</code> function returned before (since
<code class="function">size_request()</code> was defined as returning the minimal size
a widget can work with). A simple way to obtain good
values for <em class="parameter"><code>natural</code></em>, in the case of containers, is to use
<a class="link" href="GtkWidget.html#gtk-widget-get-preferred-width" title="gtk_widget_get_preferred_width ()"><code class="function">gtk_widget_get_preferred_width()</code></a> and
<a class="link" href="GtkWidget.html#gtk-widget-get-preferred-height" title="gtk_widget_get_preferred_height ()"><code class="function">gtk_widget_get_preferred_height()</code></a> on the children of the
container, as in the following example:

Starting with version 1.10, cairo provides a region API that is
equivalent to the GDK region API (which was itself copied from
the X server). Therefore, the region API has been removed in GTK+ 3.

<p>
One advantage of using an event filter is that you can actually
remove the filter when you don't need it anymore, using
<a href="http://developer.gnome.org/gdk3/gdk4-Windows.html#gdk-window-remove-filter"><code class="function">gdk_window_remove_filter()</code></a>.
</p>
<p>
The other difference to be aware of when working with event filters
in GTK+ 3 is that GDK now uses XI2 by default when available. That
means that your application does not receive core X11 key or button
events. Instead, all input events are delivered as XIDeviceEvents.
As a short-term workaround for this, you can force your application
to not use XI2, with <a href="http://developer.gnome.org/gdk3/GdkDeviceManager.html#gdk-disable-multidevice"><code class="function">gdk_disable_multidevice()</code></a>. In the long term,
you probably want to rewrite your event filter to deal with
XIDeviceEvents.

In GTK+ 3, GDK can be built with multiple backends, and currently
used backend has to be determined at runtime, typically using
type-check macros on a <a href="http://developer.gnome.org/gdk3/GdkDisplay.html#GdkDisplay-struct"><span class="type">GdkDisplay</span></a> or <a href="http://developer.gnome.org/gdk3/gdk4-Windows.html#GdkWindow-struct"><span class="type">GdkWindow</span></a>. You still need
to use the GDK_WINDOWING macros to only compile code referring
to supported backends:

If you used the pkg-config variable <code class="varname">target</code> to
conditionally build part of your project depending on the GDK backend,
for instance like this:

<p>
The GtkWidget <span class="type">“expose-event”</span> signal has been replaced by
a new <a class="link" href="GtkWidget.html#GtkWidget-draw" title="The “draw” signal"><span class="type">“draw”</span></a> signal, which takes a <span class="type">cairo_t</span> instead of
an expose event. The cairo context is being set up so that the origin
at (0, 0) coincides with the upper left corner of the widget, and
is properly clipped.
</p>
<div class="note"><p>In other words, the cairo context of the draw signal is set
up in 'widget coordinates', which is different from traditional expose
event handlers, which always assume 'window coordinates'.
</p></div>
<p>
The widget is expected to draw itself with its allocated size, which
is available via the new <a class="link" href="GtkWidget.html#gtk-widget-get-allocated-width" title="gtk_widget_get_allocated_width ()"><code class="function">gtk_widget_get_allocated_width()</code></a> and
<a class="link" href="GtkWidget.html#gtk-widget-get-allocated-height" title="gtk_widget_get_allocated_height ()"><code class="function">gtk_widget_get_allocated_height()</code></a> functions. It is not necessary to
check for <a class="link" href="GtkWidget.html#gtk-widget-is-drawable" title="gtk_widget_is_drawable ()"><code class="function">gtk_widget_is_drawable()</code></a>, since GTK+ already does this check
before emitting the <a class="link" href="GtkWidget.html#GtkWidget-draw" title="The “draw” signal"><span class="type">“draw”</span></a> signal.
</p>
<p>
There are some special considerations for widgets with multiple windows.
Expose events are window-specific, and widgets with multiple windows
could expect to get an expose event for each window that needs to be
redrawn. Therefore, multi-window expose event handlers typically look
like this:

<p>
In contrast, the <a class="link" href="GtkWidget.html#GtkWidget-draw" title="The “draw” signal"><span class="type">“draw”</span></a> signal handler may have to draw multiple
windows in one call. GTK+ has a convenience function
<a class="link" href="GtkWidget.html#gtk-cairo-should-draw-window" title="gtk_cairo_should_draw_window ()"><code class="function">gtk_cairo_should_draw_window()</code></a> that can be used to find out if
a window needs to be drawn. With that, the example above would look
like this (note that the 'else' is gone):

Another convenience function that can help when implementing
::draw for multi-window widgets is <a class="link" href="GtkWidget.html#gtk-cairo-transform-to-window" title="gtk_cairo_transform_to_window ()"><code class="function">gtk_cairo_transform_to_window()</code></a>,
which transforms a cairo context from widget-relative coordinates
to window-relative coordinates. You may want to use <code class="function">cairo_save()</code> and
<code class="function">cairo_restore()</code> when modifying the cairo context in your draw function.
</p>
<p>
All GtkStyle drawing functions (<a class="link" href="GtkStyle.html#gtk-paint-box" title="gtk_paint_box ()"><code class="function">gtk_paint_box()</code></a>, etc) have been changed
to take a <span class="type">cairo_t</span> instead of a window and a clip area. ::draw
implementations will usually just use the cairo context that has been
passed in for this.

<p>
The behaviour of expanding widgets has changed slightly in GTK+ 3,
compared to GTK+ 2.x. It is now 'inherited', i.e. a container that
has an expanding child is considered expanding itself. This is often
the desired behaviour. In places where you don't want this to happen,
setting the container explicity as not expanding will stop the
expand flag of the child from being inherited. See
<a class="link" href="GtkWidget.html#gtk-widget-set-hexpand" title="gtk_widget_set_hexpand ()"><code class="function">gtk_widget_set_hexpand()</code></a> and <a class="link" href="GtkWidget.html#gtk-widget-set-vexpand" title="gtk_widget_set_vexpand ()"><code class="function">gtk_widget_set_vexpand()</code></a>.

GtkObject has been removed in GTK+ 3. Its remaining functionality,
the ::destroy signal, has been moved to GtkWidget. If you have non-widget
classes that are directly derived from GtkObject, you have to make
them derive from <a href="https://developer.gnome.org/gobject/unstable/gobject-The-Base-Object-Type.html#GInitiallyUnowned"><span class="type">GInitiallyUnowned</span></a> (or, if you don't need the floating
functionality, <a href="https://developer.gnome.org/gobject/unstable/gobject-The-Base-Object-Type.html#GObject-struct"><span class="type">GObject</span></a>). If you have widgets that override the
destroy class handler, you have to adjust your class_init function,
since destroy is now a member of GtkWidgetClass:

<p>
In the unlikely case that you have a non-widget class that is derived
from GtkObject and makes use of the destroy functionality, you have
to implement ::destroy yourself.
</p>
<p>
If your program used functions like gtk_object_get or gtk_object_set,
these can be replaced directly with g_object_get or g_object_set. In
fact, most every gtk_object_* function can be replaced with the
corresponding g_object_ function, even in GTK+ 2 code. The one exception
to this rule is gtk_object_destroy, which can be replaced with
gtk_widget_destroy, again in both GTK+ 2 and GTK+ 3.

<code class="function">gtk_statusbar_set_has_resize_grip()</code> and <code class="function">gtk_statusbar_get_has_resize_grip()</code>
have disappeared, and instead there are now
<a class="link" href="GtkWindow.html#gtk-window-set-has-resize-grip" title="gtk_window_set_has_resize_grip ()"><code class="function">gtk_window_set_has_resize_grip()</code></a> and <a class="link" href="GtkWindow.html#gtk-window-get-has-resize-grip" title="gtk_window_get_has_resize_grip ()"><code class="function">gtk_window_get_has_resize_grip()</code></a>.
</p>
<p>
In more recent versions of GTK+ 3, the resize grip functionality has
been removed entirely, in favor of invisible resize borders around the
window. When updating to newer versions of GTK+ 3, you should simply
remove all code dealing with resize grips.

<a name="id-1.6.3.4.18"></a>Prevent mixed linkage</h3></div></div></div>
<p>
Linking against GTK+ 2.x and GTK+ 3 in the same process is problematic
and can lead to hard-to-diagnose crashes. The <a class="link" href="gtk3-General.html#gtk-init" title="gtk_init ()"><code class="function">gtk_init()</code></a> function in
both GTK+ 2.22 and in GTK+ 3 tries to detect this situation and abort
with a diagnostic message, but this check is not 100% reliable (e.g. if
the problematic linking happens only in loadable modules).
</p>
<p>
Direct linking of your application against both versions of GTK+ is
easy to avoid; the problem gets harder when your application is using
libraries that are themselves linked against some version of GTK+.
In that case, you have to verify that you are using a version of the
library that is linked against GTK+ 3.
</p>
<p>
If you are using packages provided by a distributor, it is likely that
parallel installable versions of the library exist for GTK+ 2.x and
GTK+ 3, e.g for vte, check for vte3; for webkitgtk look for webkitgtk3,
and so on.

<div class="section">
<div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title">
<a name="id-1.6.3.4.19"></a>Install GTK+ modules in the right place</h3></div></div></div>
<p>
Some software packages install loadable GTK+ modules such as theme engines,
gdk-pixbuf loaders or input methods. Since GTK+ 3 is parallel-installable
with GTK+ 2.x, the two GTK+ versions have separate locations for their
loadable modules. The location for GTK+ 2.x is
<code class="filename"><em class="replaceable"><code>libdir</code></em>/gtk-2.0</code>
(and its subdirectories), for GTK+ 3 the location is
<code class="filename"><em class="replaceable"><code>libdir</code></em>/gtk-3.0</code>
(and its subdirectories).
</p>
<p>
For some kinds of modules, namely input methods and pixbuf loaders,
GTK+ keeps a cache file with extra information about the modules.
For GTK+ 2.x, these cache files are located in
<code class="filename"><em class="replaceable"><code>sysconfdir</code></em>/gtk-2.0</code>.
For GTK+ 3, they have been moved to
<code class="filename"><em class="replaceable"><code>libdir</code></em>/gtk-3.0/3.0.0/</code>.
The commands that create these cache files have been renamed with a -3
suffix to make them parallel-installable.
</p>
<p>
Note that GTK+ modules often link against libgtk, libgdk-pixbuf, etc.
If that is the case for your module, you have to be careful to link the
GTK+ 2.x version of your module against the 2.x version of the libraries,
and the GTK+ 3 version against hte 3.x versions. Loading a module linked
against libgtk 2.x into an application using GTK+ 3 will lead to
unhappiness and must be avoided.
