57 * @short_description: Interface for settings backend implementations
58 * @include: gio/gsettingsbackend.h
59 * @see_also: #GSettings, #GIOExtensionPoint
61 * The #GSettingsBackend interface defines a generic interface for
62 * non-strictly-typed data that is stored in a hierarchy. To implement
63 * an alternative storage backend for #GSettings, you need to implement
64 * the #GSettingsBackend interface and then make it implement the
65 * extension point #G_SETTINGS_BACKEND_EXTENSION_POINT_NAME.
67 * The interface defines methods for reading and writing values, a
68 * method for determining if writing of certain values will fail
69 * (lockdown) and a change notification mechanism.
71 * The semantics of the interface are very precisely defined and
72 * implementations must carefully adhere to the expectations of
73 * callers that are documented on each of the interface methods.
75 * Some of the GSettingsBackend functions accept or return a #GTree.
76 * These trees always have strings as keys and #GVariant as values.
77 * g_settings_backend_create_tree() is a convenience function to create
81 * The #GSettingsBackend API is exported to allow third-party
82 * implementations, but does not carry the same stability guarantees
83 * as the public GIO API. For this reason, you have to define the
84 * C preprocessor symbol #G_SETTINGS_ENABLE_BACKEND before including
85 * <filename>gio/gsettingsbackend.h</filename>

211 * Our strategy to defend against the final reference dropping on the

213 * dispatching is as follows:
215 * 1) hold a GObject reference on the GSettings during an outstanding
216 * dispatch. This ensures that the delivery is always possible.
218 * 2) hold a weak reference on the GSettings at other times. This
219 * allows us to receive early notification of pending destruction
220 * of the object. At this point, it is still safe to obtain a
221 * reference on the GObject to keep it alive, so #1 will work up
222 * to that point. After that point, we'll have been able to drop

225 * Note, in particular, that it's not possible to simply have an

228 * possible to keep the object alive using g_object_ref() and we would

232 * context here since the GSettings instance does that for us and we
233 * will receive the weak notify long before it is dropped. We don't
234 * even need to hold it during dispatches because our reference on the
235 * GSettings will prevent the finalize from running and dropping the
236 * ref on the context.
