valac --version output:

Vala 0.13.4.5-0497

vapigen --version output:

Vala API Generator 0.13.4.5-0497

Here you have Gda-4.0.gir headers:

And and example in GIR about the use of xmlNodePtr:

This a DataModel's method:

 <method name="add_data_from_xml_node"
              c:identifier="gda_data_model_add_data_from_xml_node"
              throws="1">
        <doc xml:whitespace="preserve">Adds the data from an XML node to the
given data model (see the DTD for that node
in the $prefix/share/libgda/dtd/libgda-array.dtd file).
Upon errors FALSE will be returned and @error will be assigned a
#GError from the #GDA_DATA_MODEL_ERROR domain.</doc>
        <return-value transfer-ownership="none">
          <doc xml:whitespace="preserve">%TRUE if successful, %FALSE
otherwise.</doc>
          <type name="gboolean" c:type="gboolean"/>
        </return-value>
        <parameters>
          <parameter name="node" transfer-ownership="none">
            <doc xml:whitespace="preserve">an XML node representing a
&amp;lt;gda_array_data&amp;gt; XML node.</doc>
            <type name="libxml2.NodePtr" c:type="xmlNodePtr"/>
          </parameter>
        </parameters>
      </method>
