Hi claws-mail devs,
When I was working on getting Claws Mail 3.16 to compile against GTK3, one of the most common errors I found was with code like this:
> "+" GTK_STOCK_YES
It appears that pre-GTK3, GTK_STOCK_YES and co. were simply string constants, so this would just prepend a plus character to that string,
which Claws Mail uses in alertpane_create to set up some custom behavior for the corresponding labels.
In GTK3, however, those constants are GtkStock* (just casted from string constants, but this still makes the compiler unhappy). In my patch,
I just expanded GTK_STOCK_YES and co. to the underlying string constant where needed to get claws to compile. Obviously this isn't really viable
going forward, so I was wondering how this change should be made instead. Should we set up our own CM_STOCK_* constants?
