Description Danielle Madeley 2010-04-08 22:34:04 UTC 
Tp-GLib has a number of these in its TpProxy base class:

    const gchar *tp_proxy_get_object_path (gpointer self);

Where it was decided to use gpointer to save on the cast. It would be nice to be able to annotate these to say that @self is not a parameter.
Comment 1 Dan Winship 2010-04-09 02:14:49 UTC 
Does

 * @self: (type TpProxy): blah

work?
Comment 2 Danielle Madeley 2010-04-10 01:24:23 UTC 
I tried that, with no joy. It still puts a <parameter> field into the XML containing @self.

At the moment I'm cheating and have s/gpointer self/TpProxy *self/ into a fake header, but this seems suboptimal.

If you want to have a look at the branch adding g-i to tp-glib, it's here: http://git.collabora.co.uk/?p=user/danni/telepathy-glib.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/gobject-introspection
Comment 3 Dan Winship 2010-04-26 20:13:33 UTC 
ah, this is probably the same thing as the remaining part of bug 565147 then; the scanner has already decided that it's a static method before applying the (type) annotation.
