This two-step destruction process is very useful to break reference counting cycles.
While the detection of the cycles is up to the external code, once the cycles have been
- detected, the external code can invoke <code class="function">g_object_dispose</code> which

will indeed break any existing cycles since it will run the dispose handler associated
to the object and thus release all references to other objects.
</p>
we stated a bit sooner: the dispose handler can be invoked multiple times. Let's say we
have a reference count cycle: object A references B which itself references object A.
Let's say we have detected the cycle and we want to destroy the two objects. One way to
- do this would be to invoke <code class="function">g_object_dispose</code> on one of the

objects.
