 * SECTION:objects
 * @short_description: The base object type
 * @see_also: #GParamSpecObject, g_param_spec_object()
 * @title: The Base Object Type
 *
 * GObject is the fundamental type providing the common attributes and
 * methods for all object types in GTK+, Pango and other libraries
 * based on GObject.  The GObject class provides methods for object
 * construction and destruction, property access methods, and signal
 * support.  Signals are described in detail in <xref
 * linkend="gobject-Signals"/>.
 *
 * <para id="floating-ref">
 * GInitiallyUnowned is derived from GObject. The only difference between
 * the two is that the initial reference of a GInitiallyUnowned is flagged
 * as a <firstterm>floating</firstterm> reference.
 * This means that it is not specifically claimed to be "owned" by
 * any code portion. The main motivation for providing floating references is
 * C convenience. In particular, it allows code to be written as:
 * |[
 * container = create_container ();
 * container_add_child (container, create_child());
 * ]|
 * If <function>container_add_child()</function> will g_object_ref_sink() the
 * passed in child, no reference of the newly created child is leaked.
 * Without floating references, <function>container_add_child()</function>
 * can only g_object_ref() the new child, so to implement this code without
 * reference leaks, it would have to be written as:
 * |[
 * Child *child;
 * container = create_container ();
 * child = create_child ();
 * container_add_child (container, child);
 * g_object_unref (child);
 * ]|
 * The floating reference can be converted into
 * an ordinary reference by calling g_object_ref_sink().
 * For already sunken objects (objects that don't have a floating reference
 * anymore), g_object_ref_sink() is equivalent to g_object_ref() and returns
 * a new reference.
 * Since floating references are useful almost exclusively for C convenience,
 * language bindings that provide automated reference and memory ownership
 * maintenance (such as smart pointers or garbage collection) should not
 * expose floating references in their API.
 * </para>
 *
 * Some object implementations may need to save an objects floating state
 * across certain code portions (an example is #GtkMenu), to achieve this,
 * the following sequence can be used:
 *
 * |[
 * /&ast; save floating state &ast;/
 * gboolean was_floating = g_object_is_floating (object);
 * g_object_ref_sink (object);
 * /&ast; protected code portion &ast;/
 * ...;
 * /&ast; restore floating state &ast;/
 * if (was_floating)
 *   g_object_force_floating (object);
 * g_object_unref (object); /&ast; release previously acquired reference &ast;/
 * ]|

 *
 * It's possible to work around this problem in a way that will
