Description Simon van der Linden 2010-01-08 21:00:59 UTC 
For the following fields, g_type_info_is_pointer returns False in both cases, making it impossible to tell them apart.

typedef struct {
	FooStruct struct_;
} FooStructWithStructValue;

and

typedef struct {
	FooStruct *struct_;
} FooStructWithStructPointer;

The bug doesn't seem to be valid in the last version of gobject-introspection.
