Generate boilerplate code for a GObject descendant in Emacs.

1. Execute M-x gobgen
2. Specify a class name in snake_case
3. Specify a parent class name in snake_case
4. If the guessed prefixes are not OK, fix them
5. Check GLib >= 2.38 if you are building for new(ish) GLib versions. This puts some optimalizations in the code, like makes use of macros like g_object_get_private
6. Check Has private members if you want to add a private struct to your object

1. Clone this repository and add it to your load-path
2. (require 'gobgen)

If you have a feature idea or find a bug, feel free to issue a pull request. If you need any help with the code, find me on Matrix as @gergely.polonkai.eu

This package is heavily based on Gustavo Sverzut Barieri’s gobject-class.el.

There are tons of features I plan, here is a brief list:

• Properties
• Signals
• Pre-define methods, virtual or not
• Add GTK-Doc blocks for for the generated code
• Widget specialization ** Standalone with custom render() method ** Composite ** Templated composite, that should also create a GtkBuilder template
• Add some help text for fields
• GLib requirement check (if 2.38 is turned on)
• Possibly add a GET_PRIV macro for 2.38+

gobgen.el depends only on the Emacs widget library.

Tested on Emacs 24.3 and 25.1, please report if you succeed (or fail) on other versions!
