728 * and release of those class members that were introduced by the type
729 * that specified these GBaseInitFunc()/GBaseFinalizeFunc().

1002 * the #GValue passed into this function was zero-filled
1003 * with <function>memset()</function>, so no care has to
1004 * be taken to free any
1005 * old contents. E.g. for the implementation of a string
1006 * value that may never be %NULL, the implementation might
1009 * value->data[0].v_pointer = g_strdup ("");
1011 * @value_free: Free any old contents that might be left in the
1012 * data array of the passed in @value. No resources may
1013 * remain allocated through the #GValue contents after
1014 * this function returns. E.g. for our above string type:
1016 * // only free strings without a specific flag for static storage
1017 * if (!(value->data[1].v_uint & G_VALUE_NOCOPY_CONTENTS))
1018 * g_free (value->data[0].v_pointer);
1020 * @value_copy: @dest_value is a #GValue with zero-filled data section
1021 * and @src_value is a properly setup #GValue of same or
1023 * The purpose of this function is to copy the contents of
1024 * @src_value into @dest_value in a way, that even after
1025 * @src_value has been freed, the contents of @dest_value
1026 * remain valid. String type example:
1028 * dest_value->data[0].v_pointer = g_strdup (src_value->data[0].v_pointer);
1030 * @value_peek_pointer: If the value contents fit into a pointer, such as objects
1031 * or strings, return this pointer, so the caller can peek at
1032 * the current contents. To extend on our above string example:
1034 * return value->data[0].v_pointer;
1036 * @collect_format: A string format describing how to collect the contents of
1037 * this value bit-by-bit. Each character in the format represents
1038 * an argument to be collected, and the characters themselves indicate
1039 * the type of the argument. Currently supported arguments are:
1041 * <varlistentry><term /><listitem><para>
1042 * 'i' - Integers. passed as collect_values[].v_int.
1043 * </para></listitem></varlistentry>
1044 * <varlistentry><term /><listitem><para>
1045 * 'l' - Longs. passed as collect_values[].v_long.
1046 * </para></listitem></varlistentry>
1047 * <varlistentry><term /><listitem><para>
1048 * 'd' - Doubles. passed as collect_values[].v_double.
1049 * </para></listitem></varlistentry>
1050 * <varlistentry><term /><listitem><para>
1051 * 'p' - Pointers. passed as collect_values[].v_pointer.
1052 * </para></listitem></varlistentry>
1054 * It should be noted that for variable argument list construction,
1055 * ANSI C promotes every type smaller than an integer to an int, and
1056 * floats to doubles. So for collection of short int or char, 'i'
1057 * needs to be used, and for collection of floats 'd'.
1058 * @collect_value: The collect_value() function is responsible for converting the
1059 * values collected from a variable argument list into contents
1060 * suitable for storage in a GValue. This function should setup
1061 * @value similar to value_init(); e.g. for a string value that
1062 * does not allow %NULL pointers, it needs to either spew an error,
1063 * or do an implicit conversion by storing an empty string.
1064 * The @value passed in to this function has a zero-filled data
1065 * array, so just like for value_init() it is guaranteed to not
1066 * contain any old contents that might need freeing.
1067 * @n_collect_values is exactly the string length of @collect_format,
1068 * and @collect_values is an array of unions #GTypeCValue with
1069 * length @n_collect_values, containing the collected values
1070 * according to @collect_format.
1071 * @collect_flags is an argument provided as a hint by the caller.
1072 * It may contain the flag %G_VALUE_NOCOPY_CONTENTS indicating,
1073 * that the collected value contents may be considered "static"
1074 * for the duration of the @value lifetime.
1075 * Thus an extra copy of the contents stored in @collect_values is
1076 * not required for assignment to @value.
1077 * For our above string example, we continue with:
1079 * if (!collect_values[0].v_pointer)
1080 * value->data[0].v_pointer = g_strdup ("");
1081 * else if (collect_flags & G_VALUE_NOCOPY_CONTENTS)
1083 * value->data[0].v_pointer = collect_values[0].v_pointer;
1084 * // keep a flag for the value_free() implementation to not free this string
1085 * value->data[1].v_uint = G_VALUE_NOCOPY_CONTENTS;
1088 * value->data[0].v_pointer = g_strdup (collect_values[0].v_pointer);
1091 * It should be noted, that it is generally a bad idea to follow the
1092 * #G_VALUE_NOCOPY_CONTENTS hint for reference counted types. Due to
1093 * reentrancy requirements and reference count assertions performed
1094 * by the #GSignal code, reference counts should always be incremented
1095 * for reference counted contents stored in the value->data array.
1096 * To deviate from our string example for a moment, and taking a look
1097 * at an exemplary implementation for collect_value() of #GObject:
1099 * if (collect_values[0].v_pointer)
1101 * GObject *object = G_OBJECT (collect_values[0].v_pointer);
1102 * // never honour G_VALUE_NOCOPY_CONTENTS for ref-counted types
1103 * value->data[0].v_pointer = g_object_ref (object);
1107 * return g_strdup_printf ("Object passed as invalid NULL pointer");
1110 * The reference count for valid objects is always incremented,
1111 * regardless of @collect_flags. For invalid objects, the example
1112 * returns a newly allocated string without altering @value.
1113 * Upon success, collect_value() needs to return %NULL. If, however,
1114 * an error condition occurred, collect_value() may spew an
1115 * error by returning a newly allocated non-%NULL string, giving
1116 * a suitable description of the error condition.
1117 * The calling code makes no assumptions about the @value
1118 * contents being valid upon error returns, @value
1119 * is simply thrown away without further freeing. As such, it is
1120 * a good idea to not allocate #GValue contents, prior to returning
1121 * an error, however, collect_values() is not obliged to return
1122 * a correctly setup @value for error returns, simply because
1123 * any non-%NULL return is considered a fatal condition so further
1124 * program behaviour is undefined.
1125 * @lcopy_format: Format description of the arguments to collect for @lcopy_value,
1126 * analogous to @collect_format. Usually, @lcopy_format string consists
1127 * only of 'p's to provide lcopy_value() with pointers to storage locations.
1128 * @lcopy_value: This function is responsible for storing the @value contents into
1129 * arguments passed through a variable argument list which got
1130 * collected into @collect_values according to @lcopy_format.
1131 * @n_collect_values equals the string length of @lcopy_format,
1132 * and @collect_flags may contain %G_VALUE_NOCOPY_CONTENTS.
1133 * In contrast to collect_value(), lcopy_value() is obliged to
1134 * always properly support %G_VALUE_NOCOPY_CONTENTS.
1135 * Similar to collect_value() the function may prematurely abort
1136 * by returning a newly allocated string describing an error condition.
1137 * To complete the string example:
1139 * gchar **string_p = collect_values[0].v_pointer;
1141 * return g_strdup_printf ("string location passed as NULL");
1142 * if (collect_flags & G_VALUE_NOCOPY_CONTENTS)
1143 * *string_p = value->data[0].v_pointer;
1145 * *string_p = g_strdup (value->data[0].v_pointer);
1147 * And an illustrative version of lcopy_value() for
1148 * reference-counted types:
1150 * GObject **object_p = collect_values[0].v_pointer;
1152 * return g_strdup_printf ("object location passed as NULL");
1153 * if (!value->data[0].v_pointer)
1155 * else if (collect_flags & G_VALUE_NOCOPY_CONTENTS) // always honour
1156 * *object_p = value->data[0].v_pointer;
1158 * *object_p = g_object_ref (value->data[0].v_pointer);
1162 * The #GTypeValueTable provides the functions required by the #GValue implementation,
1163 * to serve as a container for values of a type.
