<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">Hello, <br>
<br>
I have a dbus implementation which is implementing multiple Interfaces inside a single object beside the standard dbus interfaces. I have 2 questions.<br>
<br>
1) The get_all() function takes the interface_name as an input. But this input seems to be optional (at-least according to the qdbusviewer). According to the specification is it in fact true (for multiple interface usecase).<br>
<br>
2) If the input is infact optional and If some of the properties are not always valid. In the situation can the get_all() just skip those properties? I tried this and maybe it’s just my implementation but it crashed. Has anyone done something similar? I couldn’t
find any examples of multiple interface in a single object at all. <br>
<br>
PS: By valid I mean it is not always relevant. <br>
<br>
Example to clarify the doubt. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">//standard Interface each needs to implement<br>
Object 1-> Object1.Dbus.Introspectable<br>
Object 1-> Object1.Dbus.Properties<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">//implementation specific interfaces.<br>
Object 1 -> Object1.Interface.<span style="color:#1F497D">A</span><br>
Object 1-> Object1.Interface.<span style="color:#1F497D">B</span><br>
Object 1 -> Object1.Interface.<span style="color:#1F497D">C</span><br>
<br>
During introspection I am passing a structure with all the properties belonging to all the interfaces.<br>
<br>
Each interface has a set of properties which are not always valid for the object. So in the above example for a particular run time scenario properties of Interface<span style="color:#1F497D">.B</span> may not valid. What is the get all supposed to do then.<o:p></o:p></p>
