<p>
      In order to help a GObject class developer, one obvious idea is
      to use some sort of templates for the skeletons and then run
      them through a special tool to generate the real C files.  <a class="ulink" href="http://www.5z.com/jirka/gob.html" target="_top">GOB</a> (or GOB2) is
      such a tool. It is a preprocessor which can be used to build
      GObjects with inline C code so that there is no need to edit the
      generated C code.  The syntax is inspired by Java and Yacc or
      Lex. The implementation is intentionally kept simple: the inline C
      code provided by the user is not parsed.
