reflection info in gtk?

[Robert Nikander <nikander mindspring com>]

Hi,

I have been working on a program that will help wrap GTK in another 
language by autogenerating a bunch of code.  My first attempt has 
followed in the footsteps of some other projects (like pygtk) and is 
using regular expressions to scan the headers.

But then I got to wondering... am I doing things the hard way? GObject 
has some functions to get it's properties at runtime.  Maybe I could 
use  this 'reflection' to get my information in a more reliable way 
from the GTK runtime...  does GTK offer this ability?  Looking at the 
GObject docs, it looks like I can get tons of info on 'properties' but 
none on the 'methods' of an object.  Is this true?  Any advice?

If something like obj->list_methods() and obj->list_signals() isn't 
possible, are there plans to offer this level of reflective info about 
an object's interface, or is that only going to happen in the 'higher'  
levels like Bonobo/Corba components, which I know nothing about.

Thanks,

Rob
