Subject: [Lablgtk] Webkitgtk bindings - returning a GType value ?

Hi,

I've discovered webkit a few months ago and love it. For those who do
not know what it is, basically, it's a very-fast and highly-compliant
html (+js,css,svg,...) rendering engine to be embedded in another
application. I recently started playing with it, trying to make some
bindings for ocaml. Since I don't have much free time, I am only
trying to display a webpage, without any control or capability. So
far, I've written the following code :
  #include <assert.h>
  #include <glib.h>
  #include <string.h>
  #include <gtk/gtk.h>
  #include <webkit/webkit.h>

  #include <caml/....h>
  #include "lablgtkstuff.h"

  CAMLprim value create_webview(value unit) {
    WebKitWebView* web_view = WEBKIT_WEB_VIEW (webkit_web_view_new ());
    return Val_GType(web_view);
  }

The c code compiles nicely but then I'm stuck when writing the type of
the corresponding ocaml function. I've taken a look at what lablgtk
currently does when dealing with Val_GType. Basically the caml
functions are of type 'unit -> unit' but that did not help me much.

So, how should I handle such a case ?  What would be the corresponding
caml type for the function ?


Thanks.
