There are other ways, but they have shortcomings, too -> the other 2 approaches that I sent to this ML have the shortcoming that in C it's not possible to initialize flexible array members in a nested context. > > I wonder how other binding works in this regard, or they always have > to depend on a xml file that describes the interface? iirc that used > to be the case for GTK and QT, perhaps python is the only one that can > really make use of this in runtime as d-feet seems to be able to use > this information already. As far as I checked, what glib does is to maintain the arguments in a separate array (http://developer.gnome.org/gio/stable/gio-D-Bus-Introspection-Data.html#GDBusMethodInfo-struct). This implies that for each method we need to declare the arguments in a separate structure, not nested as we are doing now.
