After the patches, this is qio_net_listener_set_client_func_full():

void qio_net_listener_set_client_func_full(QIONetListener *listener,
                                           QIONetListenerClientFunc func,
                                           gpointer data,
                                           GDestroyNotify notify,
                                           GMainContext *context)
{
    if (listener->io_notify) {
        listener->io_notify(listener->io_data);
    }
    listener->io_func = func;
    listener->io_data = data;
    listener->io_notify = notify;

    qio_net_listener_sources_clear(listener);
    qio_net_listener_sources_update(listener, context);
}

This is qio_net_listener_set_context():

void qio_net_listener_set_context(QIONetListener *listener,
                                  GMainContext *context)
{
    qio_net_listener_sources_clear(listener);
    qio_net_listener_sources_update(listener, context);
}

So... Basically qio_net_listener_set_context() is just a simplified
version of qio_net_listener_set_client_func_full(), but without
passing in the funcs again.  So do you mean that I can just avoid
introducing this function and call
qio_net_listener_set_client_func_full() directly?
