Discover ref/unref methods (19.55 KB, patch)

Description Evan Nemerson 2011-12-24 10:00:25 UTC 
GIR doesn't support classes that are reference counted but not GObject-derived. The GIR parser should automatically detect ref/unref methods and use them.

Examples from GIO include DBus*Info, FileAttributeInfoList, and FileAttributeMatcher
