A way to determine tool type in gimp context

Hi,

Is there a better way than string comparison to determine tool type in gimpcontext.c?
The usual way of using a g_type enumerator is not available.

void
gimp_context_erase_toggle (GimpContext *context)
{
  GimpLayerMode  paint_mode;
  GimpToolInfo  *tool_info;
  GType          tool_type;
  gboolean       eraser_tool = FALSE;

  g_return_if_fail (GIMP_IS_CONTEXT (context));

  paint_mode = gimp_context_get_paint_mode (context);
  tool_info  = context->tool_info;
  tool_type  = tool_info->tool_type;

  if (! strcmp (tool_info->label, "Eraser"))
    {
      eraser_tool = TRUE;
    }

  if (! eraser_tool)
    {
      gimp_context_set_tool (context, gimp_get_tool_info (context->gimp, "gimp-eraser-tool"));
    }
  else
    {
      gimp_context_set_tool (context, context->prev_tool_info);
    }
}

You can check with GIMP_IS_ERASER_TOOL (). If it doesn’t work, then you’ll need to import tools/gimperasertool.h so it can recognize the GimpEraserTool type.

Hi,

That is the issue I’m having, it’s one of those cases where including other headers creates a chain reaction of further issues.
I try to resolve these up to a point, in this case I felt the code was resisting any attempt to include these types of headers for a reason unknown.
