Indeed gobject-introspection generates metadata at build-time. Though
GType/GObject have facilities to do simple introspection at runtime.
Those facilities precluded gir and only provide informations about
signals and properties of a "living" instance.
Have a look at:
* g_signal_list_ids
http://developer.gnome.org/gobject/unstable/gobject-Signals.html#g-signal-list-ids
lists all signals for a specified GType
* g_signal_query
http://developer.gnome.org/gobject/unstable/gobject-Signals.html#g-signal-query
gives info about a specified signal
* g_object_class_list_properties
http://developer.gnome.org/gobject/stable/gobject-The-Base-Object-Type.html#g-object-class-list-properties
returns a list of GParamSpec* describing properties (type, name,
usage...)
Also, you might want to do that introspection for all the type hierachy
for a specific instance. To climb up the tree, use
g_type_class_peek_parent
http://developer.gnome.org/gobject/unstable/gobject-Type-Information.html#g-type-class-peek-parent
and g_type_interface_peek/g_type_interface_peek_parent
http://developer.gnome.org/gobject/unstable/gobject-Type-Information.html#g-type-class-peek-parent
Hope this helps, Happy Coding !
