Review of attachment 206964 [details] [review]:

Thanks for the patch. Anyway, this warning is unfixable if one really wants to not export that class. What's the problem with silently bailing out?

Well, I'm trying to use GIR and I find it quite hard to find problems if vala is not complaining about some features that I didn't realize were not supported in GIR. So I think it's nice if users get more information on what could or could not be exported correctly in the GIR file.

Sorry, that patch is not actually updated, my mistake.

It may make sense to support something like [GIR (skip = true)].
