Ok, that explains that, at least.

Since I really want to use libevdocument in my app, what can I do?

Would a patch that adds a new method that is introspectable be considered for inclusion?

Is there some way for me to work around it, either indefinetly, or until above mentioned patch is written and merged?

Hi Hannes, 

the problem is that an EvMapping has a void pointer (meaning that it can hold whatever structure you want) so it cannot be introspected... To make it instrospectable, we need to change EvMapping return for a introspectable struct in a new method and mark the current one as deprecated.

Hi!

I was trying to use ev_document_synctex_forward_search() from python using introspection.

But that method is not exported to the introspection libraries (but ev_document_synctex_backward_search is!).

Just wondering what the reason is, and if it is possible to get this method exposed in the next release?
