I don't think completely eliminating GLib is a project for 2.0 (or whatever the version number of the Qt-as-the-default Wireshark will be). That might happen in the future, but that means changing a lot more of Wireshark to C++ code. I don't have a problem with doing that, but I do note, for what it's worth, that I can see the compile process notably slow down once it hits the ui/qt directory. :-)
Now that we've gone ahead and allowed C++ code into Wireshark after years of resistance:), will we always require the user to have a C++ compiler available? That would simplify refactoring the code to call GTK vs. Qt vs. any other UI-toolkit code. We could have a single main.cpp that displays common things like -h usage and -v version information and then call the UI-toolkit specific code as necessary. ___________________________________________________________________________ Sent via: Wireshark-dev mailing list <wireshark-dev () wireshark org> Archives: http://www.wireshark.org/lists/wireshark-dev Unsubscribe: https://wireshark.org/mailman/options/wireshark-dev mailto:wireshark-dev-request () wireshark org?subject=unsubscribe
