Description Claudio Saavedra 2011-07-02 15:31:47 UTC 
There is http://burtonini.com/cgi/gobject.py and probably others out there, but I was wondering whether it might make sense to have such a tool shipped together with GLib, in the shape of a command-line tool.

FWIW Ross' script above has been enhanced and is maintained as http://git.gnome.org/browse/turbine these days

I'm not sure we're going to add a boilerplate generator script to GObject, but it's worth thinking about an IDL for GObject instead.

in the meantime, we are discussing the addition of a header boilerplate generation macro in bug 389585. there's also GProperty, which adds macros to declare accessors for properties.
Comment 4 Philip Withnall 2017-10-11 09:11:32 UTC 
Since this bug was filed, we’ve gained GNOME Builder, which has template support for GObjects; and the boilerplate has been reduced through the addition of G_DECLARE_{FINAL,DERIVABLE}_TYPE macros.

I think that’s sufficient.
