gobject-introspection

Description

GObject Introspection is a project for providing machine readable introspection data of the API of C libraries. This introspection data can be used in several different use cases, for example automatic code generation for bindings, API verification and documentation generation.

GObject Introspection contains tools to generate and handle the introspection data.

This package contains tools for extracting introspection data from libraries and transforming it to different formats. The versions of these tools with architecture name prefixes, such as powerpc64le-linux-gnu-g-ir-scanner, can be used during cross-compilation.

Although this package includes the pkg-config metadata for both the tools and the libgirepository-1.0 library, it does not guarantee to provide the library itself (currently it does provide the libgirepository-1.0.so symlink as a workaround for a Meson issue, but this should not be relied on). Packages that explicitly link to libgirepository-1.0.so, mainly dynamic language bindings like GJS and PyGI, will need to build-depend on libgirepository-1.0-dev in addition to this package.
