Knowing the ownership transfer for instance parameters is
necessary for correct memory management of functions which
"eat" their instance argument, such as g_dbus_method_invocation_return_*.
Parse this information from the gir file and store in the
typelib, and then provide new API on GICallableInfo to
retrieve this.

-Make code using libgirepository_internals relocatable on Windows,
like what is done in the GTK+ stack, and the girepository DLL.
-Remove C99isms
-"interface" is a reserved keyword on certain compilers, so change that to
"giinterface"

Virtual functions can definitely throw an error. Right now the
scanner omits the GError parameter for them and adds throws="1", but
g-ir-compiler ignores this.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=669332
This uses the same backcompat machinery that was introduced for static
methods for non-class types, so this change does not break users of the
existing presentations.
New libgirepository API:
g_enum_info_get_n_methods
g_enum_info_get_method
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=656499
Instead of storing the name of the function to call to get the
error quark, store the string form of the error quark, which
we derive from the introspection binary during scanning.
Update EnumBlob and GIEnumInfo to include the new information.
This will allow determining a back-mapping from error quark
to error domain without having to dlsym() and call all the
known error quark functions.
Based on earlier patches from Owen Taylor and Maxim Ermilov.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=602516
The previous ErrorDomain blob was never actually scanned or used, and
it was kind of a lame API conceptually.
To keep some compatibility, rather than removing the enumeration
values, rename them to _INVALID, and don't bump the typelib version.
This should in theory allow a new libgirepository to read an old
typelib.
Based on a patch from Colin Walters
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=602516
The C compiler will pick an enumeration type that accomodates the specified
values for the enumeration, so ignoring 64-bit enumerations, we can
have enumeration values from MININT32 to MAXUINT32. To handle this properly:
- Use gint64 for holding eumeration values when scanning
- Add a 'unsigned_value' bit to ValueBlob so we can distinguish the
int32 vs. uint32 cases in the typelib
- Change the return value of g_value_info_get_value() to gint64.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=629704
We never actually include multiple modules in the compiler,
so just nuke that. Also rather than passing around GIrModule
consistently pass around a GIrTypelibBuild structure which
has various things.
This lets us maintain a stack there which we can walk for
better error messages.
Also, fix up the node lookup in giroffsets.c; previously
it didn't really handle includes correctly. We really need to
switch to always using Foo.Bar (i.e. GIName) names internally...
This patch adds support for instantiable fundamental object types,
which are not GObject based. This is mostly interesting for being
able to support GstMiniObject's which are extensivly used in GStreamer.
Includes a big test case to the Everything module (inspired by
GstMiniObject) which should be used by language bindings who wishes to
test this functionallity.
This patch increases the size of the typelib and breaks compatibility
with older typelibs.

Rectify an assumption that nodes are ordered according to offset
- since this assumption was not true, attributes ended up being not
ordered either and the bsearch() when looking up attributes failed
mysteriously. Instead of making such assumptions, simply sort the
list of nodes we want to extract attributes from.
The total attribute size computation was wrong as we didn't properly
descend into subnodes. This resulted in memory access violations
when writing the typelib (because not enough data was allocated).
Instead of having a separate function for this, just include the
attribute size in the existing function.

People have wanted support for marking (out) on functions of the
form:
/**
* clutter_color_from_pixel:
* @pixel: A pixel
* @color: (out): Color to initialize with value of @pixel
*/
void
clutter_color_from_pixel (guint32 pixel, ClutterColor *color);
Where the caller is supposed to have allocated the argument; the
C function just initializes it. This patch adds support for this
argument passing style to introspection. In this case, we see the
(out), and notice that there's only a single indirection (*) on
the argument, and assume that this means (out caller-allocates).

Foreign structs are special in the sense that there might
be native bindings (for instance PyCairo for PyGI) that provides
the same functionallity as the introspected variant.

Broadly speaking, this change adds the concept of <vfunc> to the .gir.
The typelib already had most of the infrastructure for virtual functions,
though there is one API addition.
The scanner assumes that any class callback slot that doesn't match
a signal name is a virtual. In the .gir, we write out *both* the <method>
wrapper and a <vfunc>. If we can determine an association between
them (based on the names matching, or a new Virtual: annotation),
then we notate that in the .gir.
The typelib gains an association from the vfunc to the function, if
it exists. This will be useful for bindings since they already know
how to consume FunctionInfo.
We now support an extensible mechanism where arbitrary key-value
pairs may be associated with almost all items, including objects,
methods, and properties.
These attributes appear in both the .gir and the .typelib.
Similar to GObject class structs, we pair up GInterfaces with
their C structures.
Also, move some GLib-specific things into glibast.py, and make
the naming more generic.
Inside glibtransformer, we now look at structures ending in "Class" and
see if they have an associated GlibObject (i.e. a structure of the same
name without the "Class" suffix). If found, pair them up.
The .gir file for <class> gains an attribute denoting its associated
class struct. Any <record> many now have a glib:is-class-struct-for
annotation which tells which (if any) <class> for which it defines the
layout.
In the .typelib, we record the association between the class and
its structure. Generic structures however just have a boolean
saying whether they're a class struct. (Going from a generic class
struct to its class should not be necessary).
Finally, we expose GIRepository APIs to access both bits of information
from the .typelib.

In order to set and get enum and flag fields in structures, we need
to know the integral type that the enumeration is stored as. We are already
computing that at compile time in order to compute struct offsets, so the
easiest thing to do is to save that in the typelib.

girepository/gtypelib.h: Add 'storage_type' to the typelib format for EnumBlob

For some things, like computing structure offsets to put into the typelib

active set of modules and their includes.

Certain types like GIConv and GdkAtom are pointers internally but don't
look like pointers when referenced. They have the form.
typedef struct _X *X;
Parse these as structures/records but mark them in the gir with a 'disguised'
attribute so that we know that they need special handling.
In the typelib treat them like any other structure.
