GOB (GOB2 anyway) project is a preprocessor for making GObjects with inline C code so that generated files are not edited. Syntax is inspired by Java and Yacc or Lex. The implementation is intentionally kept simple, and no C actual code parsing is done.

Here are some key features of "GOB":
C is a perfect (well mostly) language, no need for another language
Writing a fully featured GObject is a hassle
GObject has little type safety, GOB improves on it.
Need for a generator that doesn't require changes to generated code
I like how Java writes method code directly into the class definition.

Requirements:
GOB requires Lex, Yacc and glib. If you make any GTK+ objects, you'll of course also need GTK+. If you make BonoboObjects you'll require bonobo.

What's New in This Release:
major segfault fixed
