Re: guile_gi question: gtk+ interface object?

[Andy Tai]

Hi, thanks for the reply.   The interface in GObject level does not
necessarily translate as is to GOOPS at guile level...

the context of this question is

(let ((iter (make <GtkTreeIter>))
 (model (make <GtkTreeModel>)))
(define selected (tree-selection:get-selected! selection model iter))

get_selected(GtkTreeModel out model, GtkTreeeIter out iter) has two
out parameters, model and iter, but I think GOOPS does type check on
arguments before invoking a method so  both parameters must be
initialized to the expected types.
The model parameter normally is instance of a GOBject class
"implementing" the GtkTreeModel interface (at the GOBject level), and
I cannot pass in a concrete GOBject class that implements GtkTreeModel
 as GOOPS will reject such calls--GOOPS does not understand "class
implementing an interface" at the GOBject level.  So I don't know how
to initialize the model parameter.
