About

gir2pascal is a program to convert gobject-introspection (*.gir) xml files into into pascal files which can be compiled (hopefully) without modification.

More information about gobject-introspection technology can be found here: http://live.gnome.org/GObjectIntrospection

Some of the features of gir2pascal are:

  • Converts the .gir file used as an argument into a .pas file
  • Also converts any .gir files required into .pas files.
  • GObject's are mapped to pascal objects(not classes) for easier use.
  • Creating an instance of an object is done through Foo := TSomeGObjectType.new(Parameters).
  • Bitfields are accessed using properties.
  • Can currently generate bindings for gtk3, glib2, atk1, pango1 and webkit without the resulting files needing to be modified to be compiled and linked.
  • Many other .gir files may work as well

gir2pascal is currently being used to generate the Gtk+3 bindings for pascal.
