A number of libvlc +functions are currently blacklisted (search for `_blacklist` in the +generator code), mostly because of their signature complexity. They +would benefit some work. + +Longer terms goals include the rewriting of the generator to use a +proper parser for the C-syntax (for the moment, the parser relies on +regexp-based expression, which works thanks to the coding style +applied in the code, but remains very fragile). _______________________________________________ vlc-commits mailing list [email protected] https://mailman.videolan.org/listinfo/vlc-commits
