* #GVariant is reference counted using g_variant_ref() and

+ * in the gio library, for those.)
+ *
+ * For space-efficiency, the #GVariant serialisation format does not

+ * A #GVariant's size is limited mainly by any lower level operating

- * </para>
- * <para>
- * The memory allocated by #GVariant can be grouped into 4 broad
- * purposes: memory for serialised data, memory for the type

- * <title>Serialised Data Memory</title>
- * <para>
- * This is the memory that is used for storing GVariant data in
- * serialised form. This is what would be sent over the network or
- * what would end up on disk.
- * </para>
- * <para>
- * The amount of memory required to store a boolean is 1 byte. 16,
- * 32 and 64 bit integers and double precision floating point numbers
- * use their "natural" size. Strings (including object path and
- * signature strings) are stored with a nul terminator, and as such
- * use the length of the string plus 1 byte.
- * </para>
- * <para>
- * Maybe types use no space at all to represent the null value and
- * use the same amount of space (sometimes plus one byte) as the
- * equivalent non-maybe-typed value to represent the non-null case.
- * </para>
- * <para>
- * Arrays use the amount of space required to store each of their
- * members, concatenated. Additionally, if the items stored in an
- * array are not of a fixed-size (ie: strings, other arrays, etc)
- * then an additional framing offset is stored for each item. The
- * size of this offset is either 1, 2 or 4 bytes depending on the
- * overall size of the container. Additionally, extra padding bytes
- * are added as required for alignment of child values.
- * </para>
- * <para>
- * Tuples (including dictionary entries) use the amount of space
- * required to store each of their members, concatenated, plus one
- * framing offset (as per arrays) for each non-fixed-sized item in
- * the tuple, except for the last one. Additionally, extra padding
- * bytes are added as required for alignment of child values.
- * </para>
- * <para>
- * Variants use the same amount of space as the item inside of the
- * variant, plus 1 byte, plus the length of the type string for the
- * item inside the variant.
- * </para>
- * <para>
- * As an example, consider a dictionary mapping strings to variants.
- * In the case that the dictionary is empty, 0 bytes are required for
- * the serialisation.
- * </para>
- * <para>
- * If we add an item "width" that maps to the int32 value of 500 then
- * we will use 4 byte to store the int32 (so 6 for the variant
- * containing it) and 6 bytes for the string. The variant must be
- * aligned to 8 after the 6 bytes of the string, so that's 2 extra
- * bytes. 6 (string) + 2 (padding) + 6 (variant) is 14 bytes used
- * for the dictionary entry. An additional 1 byte is added to the
- * array as a framing offset making a total of 15 bytes.
- * </para>
- * <para>
- * If we add another entry, "title" that maps to a nullable string
- * that happens to have a value of null, then we use 0 bytes for the
- * null value (and 3 bytes for the variant to contain it along with
- * its type string) plus 6 bytes for the string. Again, we need 2
- * padding bytes. That makes a total of 6 + 2 + 3 = 11 bytes.
- * </para>
- * <para>
- * We now require extra padding between the two items in the array.
- * After the 14 bytes of the first item, that's 2 bytes required. We
- * now require 2 framing offsets for an extra two bytes. 14 + 2 + 11
- * + 2 = 29 bytes to encode the entire two-item dictionary.

- * <title>Type Information Cache</title>
- * <para>
- * For each GVariant type that currently exists in the program a type
- * information structure is kept in the type information cache. The
- * type information structure is required for rapid deserialisation.
- * </para>
- * <para>
- * Continuing with the above example, if a #GVariant exists with the
- * type "a{sv}" then a type information struct will exist for
- * "a{sv}", "{sv}", "s", and "v". Multiple uses of the same type
- * will share the same type information. Additionally, all
- * single-digit types are stored in read-only static memory and do
- * not contribute to the writable memory footprint of a program using
- * #GVariant.
- * </para>
- * <para>
- * Aside from the type information structures stored in read-only
- * memory, there are two forms of type information. One is used for
- * container types where there is a single element type: arrays and
- * maybe types. The other is used for container types where there
- * are multiple element types: tuples and dictionary entries.
- * </para>
- * <para>
- * Array type info structures are 6 * sizeof (void *), plus the
- * memory required to store the type string itself. This means that
- * on 32bit systems, the cache entry for "a{sv}" would require 30
- * bytes of memory (plus malloc overhead).
- * </para>
- * <para>
- * Tuple type info structures are 6 * sizeof (void *), plus 4 *
- * sizeof (void *) for each item in the tuple, plus the memory
- * required to store the type string itself. A 2-item tuple, for
- * example, would have a type information structure that consumed
- * writable memory in the size of 14 * sizeof (void *) (plus type
- * string) This means that on 32bit systems, the cache entry for
- * "{sv}" would require 61 bytes of memory (plus malloc overhead).
- * </para>
- * <para>
- * This means that in total, for our "a{sv}" example, 91 bytes of
- * type information would be allocated.
- * </para>
- * <para>
- * The type information cache, additionally, uses a #GHashTable to
- * store and lookup the cached items and stores a pointer to this
- * hash table in static storage. The hash table is freed when there
- * are zero items in the type cache.
- * </para>
- * <para>
- * Although these sizes may seem large it is important to remember
- * that a program will probably only have a very small number of
- * different types of values in it and that only one type information
- * structure is required for many different values of the same type.
- * </para>
- * </refsect3>
- * <refsect3>
- * <title>Buffer Management Memory</title>
- * <para>
- * #GVariant uses an internal buffer management structure to deal
- * with the various different possible sources of serialised data
- * that it uses. The buffer is responsible for ensuring that the
- * correct call is made when the data is no longer in use by
- * #GVariant. This may involve a g_free() or a g_slice_free() or
- * even g_mapped_file_unref().
- * </para>
- * <para>
- * One buffer management structure is used for each chunk of
- * serialised data. The size of the buffer management structure is 4
- * * (void *). On 32bit systems, that's 16 bytes.
- * </para>
- * </refsect3>
- * <refsect3>
- * <title>GVariant structure</title>
- * <para>
- * The size of a #GVariant structure is 6 * (void *). On 32 bit
- * systems, that's 24 bytes.
- * </para>
- * <para>
- * #GVariant structures only exist if they are explicitly created
- * with API calls. For example, if a #GVariant is constructed out of
- * serialised data for the example given above (with the dictionary)
- * then although there are 9 individual values that comprise the
- * entire dictionary (two keys, two values, two variants containing
- * the values, two dictionary entries, plus the dictionary itself),
- * only 1 #GVariant instance exists -- the one refering to the
- * dictionary.
- * </para>
- * <para>
- * If calls are made to start accessing the other values then
- * #GVariant instances will exist for those values only for as long
- * as they are in use (ie: until you call g_variant_unref()). The
- * type information is shared. The serialised data and the buffer
- * management structure for that serialised data is shared by the
- * child.
- * </para>
- * </refsect3>
- * <refsect3>
- * <title>Summary</title>
- * <para>
- * To put the entire example together, for our dictionary mapping
- * strings to variants (with two entries, as given above), we are
- * using 91 bytes of memory for type information, 29 byes of memory
- * for the serialised data, 16 bytes for buffer management and 24
- * bytes for the #GVariant instance, or a total of 160 bytes, plus
- * malloc overhead. If we were to use g_variant_get_child_value() to
- * access the two dictionary entries, we would use an additional 48
- * bytes. If we were to have other dictionaries of the same type, we

+ * now require 2 framing offsets for an extra two bytes. 14 + 2 + 11
+ * + 2 = 29 bytes to encode the entire two-item dictionary.
+ *
+ * ## Type Information Cache
+ *
+ * For each GVariant type that currently exists in the program a type
+ * information structure is kept in the type information cache. The
+ * type information structure is required for rapid deserialisation.
+ *

+ *
+ * Tuple type info structures are 6 * sizeof (void *), plus 4 *
+ * sizeof (void *) for each item in the tuple, plus the memory
+ * required to store the type string itself. A 2-item tuple, for

+ * GVariantDict: (skip)
+ *
+ * #GVariantDict is a mutable interface to #GVariant dictionaries.
+ *
+ * It can be used for doing a sequence of dictionary lookups in an
+ * efficient way on an existing #GVariant dictionary or it can be used
+ * to construct new dictionaries with a hashtable-like interface. It
+ * can also be used for taking existing dictionaries and modifying them
+ * in order to create new ones.
+ *
+ * #GVariantDict can only be used with %G_VARIANT_TYPE_VARDICT
+ * dictionaries.
+ *
+ * It is possible to use #GVariantDict allocated on the stack or on the
+ * heap. When using a stack-allocated #GVariantDict, you begin with a
+ * call to g_variant_dict_init() and free the resources with a call to
+ * g_variant_dict_clear().
+ *
+ * Heap-allocated #GVariantDict follows normal refcounting rules: you
+ * allocate it with g_variant_dict_new() and use g_variant_dict_ref()
+ * and g_variant_dict_unref().
+ *
+ * g_variant_dict_end() is used to convert the #GVariantDict back into a
+ * dictionary-type #GVariant. When used with stack-allocated instances,
+ * this also implicitly frees all associated memory, but for
+ * heap-allocated instances, you must still call g_variant_dict_unref()
+ * afterwards.
+ *
+ * You will typically want to use a heap-allocated #GVariantDict when
+ * you expose it as part of an API. For most other uses, the
+ * stack-allocated form will be more convenient.
+ *
+ * Consider the following two examples that do the same thing in each
+ * style: take an existing dictionary and look up the "count" uint32
+ * key, adding 1 to it if it is found, or returning an error if the
+ * key is not found. Each returns the new dictionary as a floating

+ *
+ * For example, if you are only looping over simple integer and string
