Replacements for GTK+ and GLib

There are several classes etc., which are used for tasks formerly (in the GTK+ version of dillo) achieved by GtkObject (in 1.2.x, this is part of Gtk+) and GLib. For an overview on all this, take a look at Lots of Useful Tools.

GtkObject is replaced by the following:

lout::object::Object is a common base class for many classes used dillo. In the namespace lout::object, there are also some more common classes and interfaces.
A sub class of lout::object::Object is lout::identity::IdentifiableObject, which allows to determine the class at run-time (equivalent to GTK_CHECK_CAST in GtkObject).
For signals, there is the namespace lout::signal.

Hash tables, linked lists etc. can be found in the lout::container namespace, several useful macros from GLib have been implemented as inline functions in the lout::misc namespace.

As an alternative to the macros defined in list.h, there is also a template class, lout::misc::SimpleVector, which does the same.
