Currently (2011-05), include/report/*.h are:

dump_dir.h
event_config.h
problem_data.h
report.h
run_event.h

and we wrap all of them except event_config.h.

Python wrappers for C types and functions declared in include/report/FOO.h
should be implemented in corresponding FOO.c file in this directory.

Their (C-level) declarations should go to common.h.

Note that methods don't have to be declared in common.h:
they can be static functions inside FOO.c, and exposed to the rest
of the world via PyTypeObject instance. In FOO.c:

static PyObject *p_method_name(PyObject *pself, PyObject *args)
...
static PyMethodDef p_FOO_methods[] = {
{ "method_name", p_method_name, METH_VARARGS, NULL }
...
};
PyTypeObject p_FOO_type = {
    .tp_methods = p_FOO_methods,
...
};

and only p_FOO_type needs to be declared in common.h.

Similarly, (de)allocators, attr getters/setters also can be static functions
and be hooked into p_FOO_type.

However, non-method functions can't be static.


File reportmodule.c contains the initialization function which should
initialize types (p_FOO_type objects) and hook up finctions from every
FOO.c so that they are usable from python code.

Python wrappers for C constants (enums, defines) are created directly
by reportmodule.c.
