Function

GLibtest_get_filename

since: 2.38

Declaration [src]

constgchar*
g_test_get_filename(
GTestFileTypefile_type,
constgchar*first_path,
...
)

Description [src]

Gets the pathname to a data file that is required for a test.

This is the same as g_test_build_filename() with two differences. The first difference is that you must only use this function from within a testcase function. The second difference is that you need not free the return value — it will be automatically freed when the testcase finishes running.

It is safe to use this function from a thread inside of a testcase but you must ensure that all such uses occur before the main testcase function returns (ie: it is best to ensure that all threads have been joined).

Available since: 2.38

This function is not directly available to language bindings.

Return value

Type: const gchar*

The path, automatically freed at the end of the testcase.
