Glueless wrapping status

[Andreas Rottmann]

Hi!

I just wanted to give an update on the status of my work on
implementing glueless function wrapping. I've now made all types that
are in g-wrap (excluding the glib wrappers, which are superceded by
the ones in guile-gobject) dynamic. This means all functions that use
only these types as argument and result types can be wrapped without
generating wrapper code for them (well, there *is* code produced per
function, but that's just information about the function,
e.g. argument types). 

I can now proceed to make all guile-gobject types dynamic. Since there
are not many of them (praise inheritance for this), this should be no
big task. I'll report back again once I have reached that goal and am
able to see how many lines the new GTK+ glue code will have (I bet
that it's at least one order of magnitude less than the ~140K lines we
have now). I hope Rob gets g-wrap into CVS this next week, so I can
start feeding patches to him.

Regards, Andy
