GIR XML format ---------- - Document the format better - Add attributes to connect signals to their default handlers and wrappers to their vfuncs - Add a way to specify default values - Add a way to mark init functions like gtk_init - For argument/return values etc, store only c:identifier in the definition. Requires a link to the references type in the Type node. - replace gidl/gdk-pixbuf.gidl with something generated from headers, verify all information is available, possible to write Binary format ------------- - Sort arrays so that we can use bsearch for lookup - Maybe add hashes to lookup interfaces and functions in interfaces - Add default values - Make annotations more flexible (and typed) Compiler -------- - Cleanup, maybe turn the nodes in to objects to avoid the horrific type switches - Add thorough error checking Repository ---------- - Reconsider the current clunky API, maybe an iterator approach is better - Add thorough error checking - Use hashes - Maybe allow populating repositories at runtime - Think about a system-wide repository mapping namespace ids to libraries/metadata files - Fix extra indirection for out parameters in invoke Scanner ------ - Property.readable/writable, GLibProperty.blurb/nick - Constants - Annotations in external files which is not source code C API ------- - type SYMBOL is kind of inconvenient; would be nicer to go straight to boxed, etc. - no way to construct a boxed type - no way to access struct fields (should have a way to go field -> GArgument) - types namespaced GI, functions namespaced g_ - no way to get GType given a GIRegisteredTypeInfo
