Crate gtypes [] [src]

Fundamental types for GLib and GObject introspection.

This crate provides definitions for types that are intrinsic in GObject introspection, unlike all other types that have a definition in a GIR file. All crates generated from GObject introspection data should use these shared definitions.

Some types are omitted because a suitable equivalent is readily available in Rust:

  1. Fixed-size integer types. These have straightforward built-in counterparts in Rust.
  2. Strings can have GI types utf8 or filename. In the FFI all string values are represented as raw pointers to gchar. A safe representation of C strings in idiomatic Rust bindings needs some wrapper types which are not defined here.
