<p>It just occurred to me while tinkering with this, if the <code>pdata</code> argument had come first, then one could use member functions directly in the <code>GeanyPluginFuncs</code> setup without the need for separate C wrapper boilerplate. It would probably require typedefs for the function pointer types to facilitate type casts. A basic wrapper plugin over a GObject could've looked like this:</p>

<div class="highlight highlight-source-vala"><pre><span class="pl-c">// some gobject in vala, to save typing</span>
<span class="pl-k">namespace</span> <span class="pl-en">Foo</span> {
  <span class="pl-k">public</span> <span class="pl-k">class</span> <span class="pl-en">Plugin</span> {

    <span class="pl-k">void</span> <span class="pl-en">cleanup</span>(<span class="pl-k">Geany</span>.<span class="pl-k">Plugin</span> <span class="pl-v">p</span>) {}
  }
}</pre></div>

<div class="highlight highlight-source-c"><pre><span class="pl-c">// the actual plugin implementation</span>

  p->info->name = <span class="pl-s"><span class="pl-pds">"</span>Foo<span class="pl-pds">"</span></span>;
  ...
  p->funcs->init = (GeanyInitFunc) foo_plugin_init;
  p->funcs->cleanup = (GeanyCleanupFunc) foo_plugin_cleanup;
  ...
  <span class="pl-c1">GEANY_PLUGIN_REGISTER_FULL</span> (p, <span class="pl-c1">42</span>, foo_plugin_new, g_object_unref);
}</pre></div>

<p>I don't know if it can be changed now or some alternative funcs with swapped arguments added, I just thought I'd mention it as I just coded 4 hook functions to do nothing but reverse the arguments to call another C function.</p>
