<para>
Several useful developer tools have been build around GObject
technology. The next sections briefly introduce them and link to
the respective project pages.
</para>
<para>
For example, writing GObjects is often seen as a tedious task. It
requires a lot of typing and just doing a copy/paste requires a
great deal of care. A lot of projects and scripts have been
written to generate GObject skeleton form boilerplate code, or
even translating higher-level language into plain C.

translates Vala into GObject C code. It can also compile

In order to help a GObject class developper, one obvious idea is

them through a special tool to generate the real C files. <ulink

such a tool. It is a preprocessor which can be used to build
GObjects with inline C code so that there is no need to edit the
generated C code. The syntax is inspired by Java and Yacc or
Lex. The implementation is intentionally kept simple: the inline C
code provided by the user is not parsed.

<title>Debugging reference count problems</title>
<para>
The reference counting scheme used by GObject does solve quite
a few memory management problems but also introduces new sources of bugs.
In large applications, finding the exact spot where the reference count
of an Object is not properly handled can be very difficult. Hopefully,
there exist a tool named <ulink url="http://refdbg.sf.net/">refdbg</ulink>
which can be used to automate the task of tracking down the location
of invalid code with regard to reference counting. This application
intercepts the reference counting calls and tries to detect invalid behavior.
It supports a filter-rule mechanism to let you trace only the objects you are
interested in and it can be used together with GDB.

Note that if GObject has been compiled with <option>--enable-debug=yes</option>,
it exports a trap variable

<title>Writing API docs</title>
<para>The API documentation for most of the GLib, GObject, GTK+ and GNOME
libraries is built with a combination of complex tools. Typically, the part of
the documentation which describes the behavior of each function is extracted
from the specially-formatted source code comments by a tool named gtk-doc which
generates DocBook XML and merges this DocBook XML with a set of master XML
DocBook files. These XML DocBook files are finally processed with xsltproc
(a small program part of the libxslt library) to generate the final HTML
output. Other tools can be used to generate PDF output from the source XML.
The following code excerpt shows what these comments look like.
