package Gtkada.Types is

   pragma Preelaborate;

   Data_Error : exception;

   subtype Chars_Ptr is Interfaces.C.Strings.chars_ptr;
   subtype Chars_Ptr_Array is Interfaces.C.Strings.chars_ptr_array;

   procedure g_free (Mem : Chars_Ptr);
   --  Free a C string returned from Gtk.

   Null_Ptr : Chars_Ptr renames Interfaces.C.Strings.Null_Ptr;

   -------------------------------------
   --  Handling of arrays of Strings  --
   -------------------------------------
   --  The following functions provide a very convenient way to create
   --  C arrays of null terminated strings in Ada.
   --
   --  You can either create such a String on the fly, or declare a variable:
   --
   --     Signals : Chars_Ptr_Array := "clicked" + "missed" + "new signal";
   --
   --  which corresponds to the C declaration:
   --
   --     char *signals[] = @{"clicked", "missed", "new signal"@};
   --
   --  Note that you still need to manually call Free (Signals) if you want to
   --  release the memory dynamically allocated by the "+" functions.

   function "+" (S1, S2 : String) return Chars_Ptr_Array;
   --  Create an array containing S1 and S2.
   --  Note that this function allocates memory to store S1 and S2 as null
   --  terminated Strings. The user is responsible for calling Free on the
   --  resulting array.

   function "+" (S1 : Chars_Ptr_Array; S2 : String) return Chars_Ptr_Array;
   --  Append S2 to S1.
   --  Note that this function allocates memory to store S2 as a null
   --  terminated Strings. The user is responsible for calling Free on the
   --  resulting array.

   function "+" (S1 : Chars_Ptr_Array; S2 : Chars_Ptr) return Chars_Ptr_Array;
   --  Append S2 to S1.
   --  Note that this function allocates memory to store S2 as a null
   --  terminated Strings. The user is responsible for calling Free on the
   --  resulting array.

   function "+" (S1 : Chars_Ptr; S2 : String) return Chars_Ptr_Array;
   --  Create an array containing S1 and S2.
   --  Note that this function allocates memory to store S2 as a null
   --  terminated string. The user is responsible for calling Free on the
   --  resulting array.

   procedure Free (A : in out Chars_Ptr_Array);
   --  Free all the strings in A.
