MultiSorter

open class MultiSorter : Sorter, MultiSorterProtocol

GtkMultiSorter combines multiple sorters by trying them in turn.

If the first sorter compares two items as equal, the second is tried next, and so on.

The MultiSorter type acts as a reference-counted owner of an underlying GtkMultiSorter instance. It provides the methods that can operate on this data type through MultiSorterProtocol conformance. Use MultiSorter as a strong reference or owner of a GtkMultiSorter instance.

  • Designated initialiser from the underlying `C` data type.
    

    This creates an instance without performing an unbalanced retain i.e., ownership is transferred to the MultiSorter instance.

    Declaration

    Swift

    @inlinable
    public init(_ op: UnsafeMutablePointer<GtkMultiSorter>)

    Parameters

    op

    pointer to the underlying object

  • Designated initialiser from a constant pointer to the underlying C data type. This creates an instance without performing an unbalanced retain i.e., ownership is transferred to the MultiSorter instance.

    Declaration

    Swift

    @inlinable
    public init(_ op: UnsafePointer<GtkMultiSorter>)

    Parameters

    op

    pointer to the underlying object

  • Optional initialiser from a non-mutating gpointer to the underlying C data type. This creates an instance without performing an unbalanced retain i.e., ownership is transferred to the MultiSorter instance.

    Declaration

    Swift

    @inlinable
    override public init!(gpointer op: gpointer?)

    Parameters

    op

    gpointer to the underlying object

  • Optional initialiser from a non-mutating gconstpointer to the underlying C data type. This creates an instance without performing an unbalanced retain i.e., ownership is transferred to the MultiSorter instance.

    Declaration

    Swift

    @inlinable
    override public init!(gconstpointer op: gconstpointer?)

    Parameters

    op

    pointer to the underlying object

  • Optional initialiser from a constant pointer to the underlying C data type. This creates an instance without performing an unbalanced retain i.e., ownership is transferred to the MultiSorter instance.

    Declaration

    Swift

    @inlinable
    public init!(_ op: UnsafePointer<GtkMultiSorter>?)

    Parameters

    op

    pointer to the underlying object

  • Optional initialiser from the underlying C data type. This creates an instance without performing an unbalanced retain i.e., ownership is transferred to the MultiSorter instance.

    Declaration

    Swift

    @inlinable
    public init!(_ op: UnsafeMutablePointer<GtkMultiSorter>?)

    Parameters

    op

    pointer to the underlying object

  • Designated initialiser from the underlying C data type. Will retain GtkMultiSorter. i.e., ownership is transferred to the MultiSorter instance.

    Declaration

    Swift

    @inlinable
    public init(retaining op: UnsafeMutablePointer<GtkMultiSorter>)

    Parameters

    op

    pointer to the underlying object

  • Reference intialiser for a related type that implements MultiSorterProtocol Will retain GtkMultiSorter.

    Declaration

    Swift

    @inlinable
    public init<T>(multiSorter other: T) where T : MultiSorterProtocol

    Parameters

    other

    an instance of a related type that implements MultiSorterProtocol

    p

    opaque pointer to the underlying object

  • Unsafe untyped, retaining initialiser. Do not use unless you know the underlying data type the pointer points to conforms to MultiSorterProtocol.

  • Creates a new multi sorter.

    This sorter compares items by trying each of the sorters in turn, until one returns non-zero. In particular, if no sorter has been added to it, it will always compare items as equal.

    Declaration

    Swift

    @inlinable
    public init()
