Description Dan Winship 2009-01-31 01:20:37 UTC 
Johan and I discussed this on IRC but then he disappeared...

GObject-2.0.gir has:

    <class name="Object"
           c:type="GObject"
           abstract="1"
           glib:type-name="GObject"
           glib:get-type="intern">

but g_registered_type_info_get_g_type() expects glib:get-type to always be a function name.

Looks good; my one comment is that I'm a big fan of comments for magic constants.  The comment could just be a link to this bug.

Or maybe in the python code that generates that? But it will eventually go away anyway; once gobject-introspection moves into glib, it will automatically be depending on a version of gobject new enough to have g_object_get_type(), so the special case can go away...
