Re: [Gexiv2] Hello?

Hi Robert,

I don't have a lot of experience with GObject introspection, so please
don't take my thoughts on it here as gold.  But, I will point out that
gexiv2 isn't technically a C++ library in the sense that it offers a
strictly C interface.  All the C++ code is in the implementation and hidden
from the caller.  I think this will make it much easier to bind gexiv2 to
Python.

As far as g-ir-scanner only working on C-based code, I would take that
exactly as it sounds: it only works on C code, not C++.  I also suspect
libchamplain's annotations in the C code is merely for the coder's benefit
(or consistency) and not for the use of g-ir-scanner.
