/**
* 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).
*
* Since: 2.80

/*
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 0.1:
- 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.

* 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

* (for languages that emit code at run-time).
