Description Martin Schulze 2003-03-16 13:17:25 UTC 
To support for easy creation of language bindings, things in gstreamer
should be "GTK+-like". E.g. for the c++ language bindings we are using a
semi-automatic wrapper tool from gtkmm (gtkmmproc).

This tool makes assumptions about the GType API of the wrapped structures.
The problem is that all gstreamer boxed types are currently missing the
function gst_[typename]_get_type(). E.g. there is no gst_caps_get_type() or
gst_props_get_type().
Instead, there are macros to access the GType objects which we can't use
without changing gtkmmproc. To match GTK+'s boxed-type-API I suggest adding
the functions gst_caps_get_type(), gst_props_get_type(), etc.

Patches adding these functions will be attached gradually.
