Description Stephan Sundermann 2013-10-11 11:33:38 UTC 
GList can provide this:

<type name="GLib.List" c:type="GList*">
  <type name="TreePath"/>
</type>

It would be nice that Iterators also do. This is what is currently being generated, for instance, for gstreamer's bin class, iterator function :

<return-value transfer-ownership="full">
  <doc xml:whitespace="preserve">a #GstIterator of #GstElement, or NULL</doc>
   <type name="Iterator" c:type="GstIterator*"/>
</return-value>
