37 * @short_description: A mechanism to wrap opaque C structures registered
39 * @see_also: #GParamSpecBoxed, g_param_spec_boxed()
42 * GBoxed is a generic wrapper mechanism for arbitrary C structures. The only
43 * thing the type system needs to know about the structures is how to copy and
44 * free them, beyond that they are treated as opaque chunks of memory.
46 * Boxed types are useful for simple value-holder structures like rectangles or
47 * points. They can also be used for wrapping structures defined in non-GObject
