Hi,

Is there a way to find which functions are not covered by a specific Perl
binding? For the moment I'm mainly concerned of bindings for C libraries
that are using Glib/GObject.

I've realized that Champlain.pm (the bindings  for libchamplain) is missing
coverage for a few methods defined in the public API. For now the best thing
that I could find was to use "nm" on the blib .so and on the C library and
to compare the results after transforming the output. This method is far
from being the best as it can't handle XS function aliases, but it's the
best that I can come up. This is a simplication of what I do now:

  nm --defined-only --extern-only blib/arch/auto/Champlain/Champlain.so |
grep XS
  nm --defined-only --extern-only /usr/lib/libchamplain-0.3.so | grep -v
'_get_type'

The python maintainer of the same library told me that he gets a warning for
symbols that are not covered by his bindings. Is there a way to do the same
for the Perl bindings?
