Question binding gtk_text_mark_new

Desktop Ruby-Gnome 2
1

http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/gtk/GtkTextMark.html#id3010285

This function looks like a good candidate for a mandatory argument and
an optional argument: the name can be NULL, so should be optional in
Ruby constructor, and there is no real good default for the
left_gravity parameter, so it makes sense to have it mandatory.

However, in the C form the optional argument comes first (name) and
the mandatory comes second (left_gravity). So it might be confusing to
reverse the parameters order in the Ruby constructor (first: mandatory
left_gravity; second: optional name).

WDYT?

Hi,

I think Gtk::TextMark.new(nil, true) is not bad idea.

“name” is more important than left_gravity, but if you
want to use it as anonymous, can use nil instead.

So I think we don’t need to change the parameter in this case.
