public class TypeInfo : BaseInfo

`GITypeInfo` represents a type, including information about direction and transfer.

You can retrieve a type info from an argument (see [class@GIRepository.ArgInfo]), a function’s return value (see [ class@GIRepository.FunctionInfo]), a field (see [class@GIRepository.FieldInfo]), a property (see [class@GIRepository.PropertyInfo]), a constant (see [class@GIRepository.ConstantInfo]) or for a union discriminator (see [class@GIRepository.UnionInfo]).

A type can either be a of a basic type which is a standard C primitive type or an interface type. For interface types you need to call [ method@GIRepository.TypeInfo.get_interface] to get a reference to the base info for that interface.

Methods:

public void argument_from_hash_pointer (void* hash_pointer, Argument arg)
GLib data structures, such as List, SList, and GenericSet, all store data pointers.
public int get_array_fixed_size ()
Obtain the fixed array size of the type.
public int get_array_length ()
Obtain the position of the argument which gives the array length of the type.
public ArrayType get_array_type ()
Obtain the array type for this type.
public BaseInfo get_interface ()
For types which have INTERFACE such as GObjects and boxed values, this function returns full information about the referenced type.
public TypeInfo get_param_type (int n)
Obtain the parameter type n.
public TypeTag get_storage_type ()
Obtain the type tag corresponding to the underlying storage type in C for the type.
public TypeTag get_tag ()
Obtain the type tag for the type.
public void* hash_pointer_from_argument (Argument arg)
GLib data structures, such as List, SList, and GenericSet, all store data pointers.
public bool is_pointer ()
Obtain if the type is passed as a reference.
public bool is_zero_terminated ()
