2.3.1 Constants

On introspection, when a typelib file defines a constant, Guile-GI creates a variable. The variable name is in MACRO_CASE, capital letters separated by underscores. Note that the variables created are not themselves constants: one could set! them to another value, with likely detrimental effects.

The names of the variables created will be the same as the native API, with the namespace removed.

;; In C, the constant G_BIG_ENDIAN
BIG_ENDIAN
