/**
 * SECTION:gitypelib-internal
 * @title: GITypelib Internals
 * @short_description: Layout and accessors for typelib
 * @stability: Stable
 *
 * The "typelib" is a binary, readonly, memory-mappable database
 * containing reflective information about a GObject library.
 * What the typelib describes and the types used are the same for every
 * platform so, apart the endianness of its scalar values, the typelib
 * database must be considered architecture-independent.
 *
 * The format of GObject typelib is strongly influenced by the Mozilla XPCOM
 * format.
 *
 * Some of the differences to XPCOM include:
 * - Type information is stored not quite as compactly (XPCOM stores it inline
 *   in function descriptions in variable-sized blobs of 1 to n bytes. We store
 *   16 bits of type information for each parameter, which is enough to encode
 *   simple types inline. Complex (e.g. recursive) types are stored out of line
 *   in a separate list of types.
 * - String and complex type data is stored outside of typelib entry blobs,
 *   references are stored as offsets relative to the start of the typelib.
 *   One possibility is to store the strings and types in a pools at the end
 *   of the typelib.
 *
 * The typelib has the following general format:
 *
 *   typelib ::= header, section-index, directory, blobs, attributes, attributedata
 *
 *   directory ::= list of entries
 *
 *   entry ::= blob type, name, namespace, offset
 *   blob ::= function|callback|struct|boxed|enum|flags|object|interface|constant|union
 *   attribute ::= offset, key, value
 *   attributedata ::= string data for attributes
 *
 * Details
 *
 * We describe the fragments that make up the typelib in the form of C structs
 * (although some fall short of being valid C structs since they contain
 * multiple flexible arrays).

/*
TYPELIB HISTORY
-----

Version 1.1
- Add ref/unref/set-value/get-value functions to Object, to be able
  to support instantiatable fundamental types which are not GObject based.

Version 1.0
- Rename class_struct to gtype_struct, add to interfaces

Changes since 0.9:
- Add padding to structures

Changes since 0.8:
- Add class struct concept to ObjectBlob
- Add is_class_struct bit to StructBlob

Changes since 0.7:
- Add dependencies

Changes since 0.6:
- rename metadata to typelib, to follow xpcom terminology

Changes since 0.5:
- basic type cleanup:
  + remove GString
  + add [u]int, [u]long, [s]size_t
  + rename string to utf8, add filename
- allow blob_type to be zero for non-local entries

Changes since 0.4:
- add a UnionBlob

Changes since 0.3:
- drop short_name for ValueBlob

Changes since 0.2:
- make inline types 4 bytes after all, remove header->types and allow
  types to appear anywhere
- allow error domains in the directory

Changes since 0.1:

- drop comments about _GOBJ_METADATA
- drop string pool, strings can appear anywhere
- use 'blob' as collective name for the various blob types
- rename 'type' field in blobs to 'blob_type'
- rename 'type_name' and 'type_init' fields to 'gtype_name', 'gtype_init'
- shrink directory entries to 12 bytes
- merge struct and boxed blobs
- split interface blobs into enum, object and interface blobs
- add an 'unregistered' flag to struct and enum blobs
- add a 'wraps_vfunc' flag to function blobs and link them to
  the vfuncs they wrap
- restrict value blobs to only occur inside enums and flags again
- add constant blobs, allow them toplevel, in interfaces and in objects
- rename 'receiver_owns_value' and 'receiver_owns_container' to
  'transfer_ownership' and 'transfer_container_ownership'
- add a 'struct_offset' field to virtual function and field blobs
- add 'dipper' and 'optional' flags to arg blobs
- add a 'true_stops_emit' flag to signal blobs
- add variable blob sizes to header
- store offsets to signature blobs instead of including them directly
- change the type offset to be measured in words rather than bytes

 * to be embedded directly without taking up extra space.
 *
 * References to "interfaces" (objects, interfaces) are more complicated;

 * @caller_allocates: The parameter is a pointer to a struct or object that
 *   will receive an output of the function.
 * @nullable: Only meaningful for types which are passed as pointers. For an
 *   in parameter, indicates if it is ok to pass NULL in. Gor an out
 *   parameter, indicates whether it may return NULL. Note that NULL is a

 * @optional: For an out parameter, indicates that NULL may be passed in

 *   can be at most one per function call. If an out parameter is marked as
 *   return value, the actual return value of the function should be either
 *   void or a boolean indicating the success of the call.
 * @scope: A #GIScopeType. If the parameter is of a callback type, this denotes
 *   the scope of the user_data and the callback function pointer itself
 *   (for languages that emit code at run-time).
 * @skip: Indicates that the parameter is only useful in C and should be skipped.
