go-gir-generator

Description

Project go-gir-generator implements GObject-introspection based bindings generator for Go.

There are many Go bindings of GObject/Gtk libraries out there, but almost all of them are written by hand. It's boring and error-prone since the corresponding C library may change very often. go-gir-generator can adapt to the newest version of GObject without changing one single line of code, which makes it less painful to write Go code with GObject.

NOTE: Currently it only supports GObject-2.0, Glib-2.0, Gio-2.0, support of Gdk/Gtk is not completed.

Many thanks to the genius guys who created the GObject Introspection and the original author nsf.
