Add "n_field_callbacks" to ObjectBlob which represents the number of object
fields which are also callbacks. This a allows a constant time computation
for accessing sections after fields. Track writing of this field by passing
an extra argument through the girnode writers recursive call structure. This
essentally reverts a portion of commit 7027bb256d0d1ab which added a linear
time computation for accessing sections after fields.
Update typelib validator to also ensure n_field_callbacks is properly set.

Generalize "throws" attribute to SignatureBlob which can be used by all
callable blob types. Keep FunctionBlob and VFuncBlob throw attributes
around and functional for compatibility. Refactor girwriter.c to write
out throws attribute for all callable types.

Make it clear that both the dependencies field in the typelib, and the
include elements in the GIR AST, are for immediate dependencies, not
transitive ones.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=743782
This adds a header to the girepository library, which is then included
either directly or indirectly by the other headers so that all the public
symbols (and the 2 symbols in gitypelib-internal.h used by the tools) are
decorated by a macro, that can later be used to export the symbols and also
to be used to display compile-time warnings for usage of deprecated APIs,
which is like what is now being done in GLib (and GTK+, Clutter, and so
on).
This marks the first step that we begin to stop depending on the .symbols/
.def files to export the symbols.

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.

When g_irepository_find_by_gtype() doesn't succeed on a simple prefix
match (the current 'fastpass' mechanism), it ends up taking a
considerable amount of CPU time, traversing the contents of all typelibs.
I imagine that the reasons to have the exhaustive search fallback are
not as strong as they used to be. For example, the case mentioned
(Clutter including Cogl) no longer seems to be true.
Also, typelibs (as generated by g-ir-scanner) now provide
comma-separated C prefix info for cases when the typelib includes
introspection info for multiple prefixes. For example, the Sugar typelib
has a c_prefix string of Sugar,EggSM,Gsm,Acme. So I imagine there are
not many remaining justified cases where the exhaustive search is needed.
With that in mind, I found two ways to optimize this function:
1. Support comma-separated C prefixes
2. Don't bother with an exhaustive search if we did find a typelib
claiming support for the prefix. For example, if we're looking for
GdkDeviceManagerXI2 (currently non-introspectable) and we already found
typelib files providing the 'Gdk' prefix that didn't offer this, lets
not bother with the exhaustive search, we aren't going to find anything.
It appears that cmph library can return (n+1) when querying item not
present in its original n-item-sized set. Adjust code so that it
detects this condition and do not chase stray pointers resulting from
this bogus(?) hash result.

The current source has invalid assumptions about structure alignment
that break on platforms like m68k where 32-bit integers are aligned to
16-bit only. Fix this by introducing explicit structure padding for
32-bit quantities following odd numbers of 16-bit quantities and
structure trail padding, to make the binary representation generated
by the compiler match the text of the specification exactly.

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.

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.

Use the internal perfect hashing API to add an index to the directory.
To support this, add the notion of additional "sections" to the
typelib. A section index is inserted between the header and the
directory.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=554943
In multiple places in the typelib, but most importantly the directory,
we need some fast indexing. Perfect hashing, as implemented by CMPH
(previous commit), is an exact fit for the problem domain.
Add an API built on top of CMPH which maps strings->guint16 (we just
need a guint16 for the typelib index).
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=554943
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
This is a cleanup patch in preparation for future indexing
patches.
The lookup code was a mess trying to mash in the 3 different
cases of name, GType, and index into one mega-function.
Split it up properly, and move the core typelib internal-scanning
bits into gitypelib.c where it belongs.
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.

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.
