gobject-subclass

Infrastructure for writing GObject subclasses in the Rust programming language, and (in the future) bindings for GObject and GIO classes.

Example usage of this can be found here

• gst-plugin-rs: GStreamer plugin writing infrastructure
• gtk-subclass: GTK class bindings

This is different to gnome-class as it does not require usage of a C#-like DSL in a heavy procedural macro, but instead works directly with Rust traits. Both are built on top of the user-level GLib/GObject/GTK gtk-rs bindings.

It will likely not support all features gnome-class will support. For example it is not easily possible to create new GObject subclasses and expose them to C with the whole instance/class struct and allow adding new virtual methods. Subclassing and overriding of existing GObject virtual methods from C however is perfectly possible.
