Description Nathan Phillip Brink (binki) 2011-07-08 05:24:57 UTC

I see the following lines in xchat-2.8.8's src/common/dbus/dbus-plugin.c:init_dbus():

	dbus_g_object_type_install_info (REMOTE_TYPE_OBJECT,
					 &dbus_glib_remote_object_object_info);

But I can't find any documentation on this mysterious dbus_glib_remote_object_object_info variable. I would like to know why it exists and what legal uses it has.

It's part of XChat, not dbus-glib. It's the "glue" used to export an object (a struct describing the object's methods, signals and properties), which is typically generated by dbus-binding-tool (although telepathy-glib contains a reimplementation of dbus-binding-tool which may be better for complex projects).
