/**
 * SECTION:gtypelib
 * @short_description: Layout and accessors for typelib
 * @stability: Stable
 *
 * The "typelib" is a binary, readonly, memory-mappable database
 * containing reflective information about a GObject library.
 * 
 * The format of GObject typelib is strongly influenced by the Mozilla XPCOM 
 * format. 
 *
 * Some of the differences to XPCOM include:
 * - Type information is stored not quite as compactly (XPCOM stores it inline 
 * in function descriptions in variable-sized blobs of 1 to n bytes. We store 
 * 16 bits of type information for each parameter, which is enough to encode 
 * simple types inline. Complex (e.g. recursive) types are stored out of line 
 * in a separate list of types.
 * - String and complex type data is stored outside of typelib entry blobs, 
 * references are stored as offsets relative to the start of the typelib. 
 * One possibility is to store the strings and types in a pools at the end 
 * of the typelib. 
 * 
 * The typelib has the following general format.
 *
 * typelib ::= header, directory, blobs, annotations
 *
 * directory ::= list of entries
 *
 * entry ::= blob type, name, namespace, offset
 * blob ::= function|callback|struct|boxed|enum|flags|object|interface|constant|errordomain|union
 * annotations ::= list of annotations, sorted by offset 
 * annotation ::= offset, key, value
 *
 * Details
 * 
 * We describe the fragments that make up the typelib in the form of C structs 
 * (although some fall short of being valid C structs since they contain multiple
 * flexible arrays).

- rename 'type_name' and 'type_init' fields to 'gtype_name', 'gtype_init'
- shrink directory entries to 12 bytes 
- merge struct and boxed blobs
- split interface blobs into enum, object and interface blobs
- add an 'unregistered' flag to struct and enum blobs
- add a 'wraps_vfunc' flag to function blobs and link them to 
  the vfuncs they wrap
- restrict value blobs to only occur inside enums and flags again
- add constant blobs, allow them toplevel, in interfaces and in objects
- rename 'receiver_owns_value' and 'receiver_owns_container' to
  'transfer_ownership' and 'transfer_container_ownership'
- add a 'struct_offset' field to virtual function and field blobs
- add 'dipper' and 'optional' flags to arg blobs
- add a 'true_stops_emit' flag to signal blobs
- add variable blob sizes to header
- store offsets to signature blobs instead of including them directly
- change the type offset to be measured in words rather than bytes

 * @annotations: Offset of the list of annotations in the typelib. 
 * @dependencies: Offset of a single string, which is the list of

 * consuming a typelib check for an "Unresolved" type return
 * from every API call.
 * @size: The size in bytes of the typelib. 
 * @namespace: Offset of the namespace string in the typelib.
 * @nsversion: Offset of the namespace version string in the typelib.
 * @shared_library: This field is the set of shared libraries associated
 * with the typelib.  The entries are separated by the '|' (pipe) character.
 * @entry_blob_size: The sizes of fixed-size blobs. Recording this information here
 * allows to write parser which continue to work if the format is
 * extended by adding new fields to the end of the fixed-size blobs.

 * adding new fields before the first flexible array member in

 * takes an uint32*.
 * @dipper: The parameter is a pointer to a struct or object that will 
 * receive an output of the function. 
 * @allow_none: Only meaningful for types which are passed as pointers.
 * For an in parameter, indicates if it is ok to pass NULL in, for 
 * an out parameter, whether it may return NULL. Note that NULL is a 
 * valid GList and GSList value, thus allow_none will normally be set
 * for parameters of these types.
 * @optional: For an out parameter, indicates that NULL may be passed in
 * if the value is not needed.
 * @transfer_ownership: For an in parameter, indicates that the function takes over 
 * ownership of the parameter value. For an out parameter, it 
 * indicates that the caller is responsible for freeing the return 
 * value.
 * @transfer_container_ownership: For container types, indicates that the
 * ownership of the container,  but not of its contents is transferred. This is typically the case 
 * for out parameters returning lists of statically allocated things.
 * @is_return_value: The parameter should be considered the return value of the function. 
 * Only out parameters can be marked as return value, and there can be 
 * at most one per function call. If an out parameter is marked as 
 * return value, the actual return value of the function should be 
 * either void or a boolean indicating the success of the call.
 * @scope: A #GIScopeType. If the parameter is of a callback type, this denotes the scope
 * of the user_data and the callback function pointer itself
 * (for languages that emit code at run-time).
 * @closure: Index of the closure (user_data) parameter associated with the callback, 
 * or -1.
 * @destroy: Index of the destroy notfication callback parameter associated with 
 * the callback, or -1.
 * @arg_type: Describes the type of the parameter. See details below.
 *
 * Types are specified by four bytes. If the three high bytes are zero,
 * the low byte describes a basic type, otherwise the 32bit number is an
 * offset which points to a TypeBlob.
