Description

Currently the compiler for c_glib doesn't fully support service inheritance (i.e. the extends keyword in service definitions) when generating a service client: It is smart enough to include the necessary header file, but not yet smart enough to

• Make the generated client class a subclass of the parent service's client class, and

• Omit the definition of properties inherited from the parent class.

Once this support is added I can submit a client tutorial for c_glib that duplicates all the functionality of the C++ one.
