Improve struct freeing
See: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gobject-introspection/-/merge_requests/365
Use this to automatically generate a Copy
and Dispose
method.
this behavior must be implemented in an optional way. If it is missing there must be some fallback mechanic.
Those functions are especially useful if a record is not part of the type system (does not have a get_type
function) and thus is not boxed and can not be automatically copied / freed through the type system.
Nevertheless it should be implemented for all record types as copy / free via the type system is considered expensive as it requires a lookup of the type in the native type dictionary.
- [x] add method to verify format (parameter / return type) of record function as a duplicate must be rendered #1072
- [x] Support opaque untyped records #1072
- [ ] Support opaque typed records #1088
- [ ] Support typed records
- [ ] Support UntypedRecords
Consider for all implementations
- implement I disposable on all record types using
free-func
- generate info log for types which would benefit from an upstream annotation
