[Inkscape-devel] C++ificiation and GTKMM

Hello everyone,

C++ification of inkscape has been a long term planned goal for inkscape. To the same accordance I would like to ask a few questions: 1. Does the dependency on GObject need to be removed?? The current code is huge and based on GObject as inheritance, increasing the complexity further. But if we wish to use the functionalities of GTK+ and remove GObject from the picture, wouldn't it be possible and feasible to instead use GTKMM to suffice for the same??? 2. While c++ifying what is going to be the fate of the inkscape's own implementation of garbage collection?? 3. What are your views regarding GTKMM to be introduced in the codebase for c++ification??

Expecting replies from the developers.

Thank You.
