There's more of a problem in non-gtk+ libraries, where we see lots of signals with pointer args, callbacks but no closures, etc. Still, even in gtk+, even new APIs sometimes are added which place additional problems on language bindings. In particular, int* parameters are truly problematic, as they contain no in/out/inout semantic information attached. For example, see GtkCellRendererClass.get_size. I hope the new introspection API will solve this issue finally, since it is clear that external libraries will never help support language bindings. Regards. -- Gustavo J. A. M.
