This includes config.h in all the C-sources of girepository so that we can
get the correct export directive from config.h during compile time and
therefore export the symbols as necessary, like what GLib and GTK+ is
currently doing.

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.

Parse the 'nullable' attribute on parameters and function return types.
Additionally, tweak the meaning of the 'allow-none' attribute. We now
only treat it as equivalent to 'nullable' for non-out parameters. For
out parameters, we treat it to mean the same as the already-recognised
'optional' parameter (which we only recently started actually using).

Use ParseState enum instead of a boolean for the ParseContexts embedded_type
flag. This allows specific tracking of the embedded type currently being
parsed which can now either be STATE_STRUCT_FIELD or STATE_CLASS_FIELD (or
allow for future expansion). Add ParseState::STATE_NONE as the default for
this field.
Fix GObject FieldBlob validation to take into account the sizeof
CallbackBlobs (copied from the struct validator).
Add static g_object_info_get_field_offset which parallels
g_struct_info_get_field_offset which is needed since callback fields may
vary in size.

GTK-Doc description fields for tags can contain multiple lines and
even multiple paragraphs. Whitespace cannot be preserved in XML
attributes, so we move the "deprecated" description text into
a "<doc-deprecated />" element right next to where we already have
the "<doc />" element. Keep the "deprecated" attribute around for
backwards compatibility though, but set its value to "1" (analogous
to the "writable", "contruct", etc attributes) if the annotated
symbol is marked as deprecated.
While at it, add <doc-version /> and <doc-stability /> which
was not yet available in the .gir files...
This takes care of the "Since:", "Stability:" and "Deprecated:"
GTK-Doc tags. Nothing needs to be done for the "Returns:" tag as
as we already write a "<doc />" child element on "<return-value />".
Update parser to use g_ascii_strcasecmp instead of strcmp. This fixes
incorrect flags being set when the incomming gir is using lowercase values
for the "when" attribute.

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.

Algorithm which detects whether argument type is pointer checks for
trailing '*' characters in c:type .gir elements. This failed if ctype
is either 'gpointer' or 'gconstpointer'. Add specific check for
gpointer/gconstpointer types when deducing pointerness of the type.

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:

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

Flags and enums with a GType have a value_nick and value_name
strings available in the class struct. But for flags and enums
without GType, we need to get this information from introspection.
g_base_info_get_name() gives the string for value_nick. In the GIR,
the attribute "c:identifier" is the string neede for value_name.
This patch adds the "c:identifier" from GIR to the typelib for all
flags and enum values. It can be retireved using
g_base_info_get_attribute(info, "c:identifier").
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=642757
The argument was called 'ctx' but the macro was using 'context'.
This wasn't causing the build to fail because the variable
'context' was already defined in all the scopes where this macro
was used.
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.

Documentation says about g_vfunc_get_offset():
"Obtain the offset of the function pointer in the class struct.
The value 0xFFFF indicates that the struct offset is unknown."
But g-ir-compiler did set the value to 0 when the offset is unknown.
This patch fixes it.

One of the first big changes in this rewrite is changing the Type
object to have separate target_fundamental and target_giname properties,
rather than just being strings. Previously in the scanner, it was
awful because we used heuristics around strings.
The ast.py is refactored so that not everything is a Node - that
was a rather useless abstraction. Now, only things which can have
a GIName are Node. E.g. Type and Field are no longer Node.
More things were merged from glibast.py into ast.py, since it isn't
a very useful split.
transformer.py gains more intelligence and will e.g. turn GLib.List
into a List() object earlier. The namespace processing is a lot
cleaner now; since we parse the included .girs, we know the C
prefix for each namespace, and have functions to parse both
C type names (GtkFooBar) and symbols gtk_foo_bar into their
symbols cleanly. Type resolution is much, much saner because
we know Type(target_giname=Gtk.Foo) maps to the namespace Gtk.
glibtransformer.py now just handles the XML processing from the dump,
and a few miscellaneous things.
The major heavy lifting now lives in primarytransformer.py, which
is a combination of most of annotationparser.py and half of
glibtransformer.py.
annotationparser.py now literally just parses annotations; it's
no longer in the business of e.g. guessing transfer too.
finaltransformer.py is a new file which does post-analysis for
"introspectability" mainly.
girparser.c is fixed for some introspectable=0 processing.
Rather than have the scanner/parser handle both e.g. "glong" and
"long", simply use the GLib types everywhere.
This commit adds TYPE_LONG_LONG and TYPE_LONG_DOUBLE to the
scanner types; however, rather than add them to the typelib,
they're just marked as not-introspectable.
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...
Previously we had both e.g. GI_TYPE_TAG_LONG and GI_TYPE_TAG_INT64,
but in fact the typelib is already machine-specific, so it makes sense
to just encode this as a fixed type. The .gir remains abstract.
We also remove size_t from the typelib; one would never want to treat
it differently than an integer.
time_t is removed as well; while bindings like gjs had special handling
to turn it into e.g. a JS Date object, I don't think we should encourage
people to use these POSIX types in their API. Use GTimeVal or the like
instead.
Because the typelib is now really machine-specific, we need to remove
the -expected.tgirs from git. (We could potentially add a check
which wasn't just a literal diff later)

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.

Moving to <doc> allows us to better preserve whitespace. XML has no
facility for whitespace-preserving attributes.
Second, for arrays and lists, both types with unknown element_type can
occur in the current scanner; it's least wrong if we write out an
<any> type.
Any annotation where the key has a dot in the name will go into the
attribute list. For example
* @arg: (foo.bar baz): some arg
the parameter @arg will get the attribute with key foo.bar and value
baz. This also works for.
* Returns: (foo.bar2 baz2): the return value
Also add tests for this new feature.

This work allows us to move closer to replacing gtk-doc, among other
things. We add a generic attribute "introspectable", and inside the
typelib compiler if we see "introspectable=no", we don't put it in the
typelib. This replaces the hackish pre-filter for varargs with a much
more generic mechanism.
The varargs is now handled in the scanner, and we emit
introspectable=no for them.
Add generic metadata to Node with references to file/line/column,
which currently comes from symbols.
Add scanner options --warn-all and --warn-error.
