Description

GValue provides an abstract container structure which can be copied, transformed and compared while holding a value of any (derived) type, which is registered as a GType with a GTypeValueTable in its GTypeInfo structure. Parameter specifications for most value types can be created as GParamSpec derived instances, to implement e.g. GObject properties which operate on GValue containers.

Parameter names need to start with a letter (a-z or A-Z). Subsequent characters can be letters, numbers or a '-'. All other characters are replaced by a '-' during construction.

g_value_set_object ()

void                g_value_set_object                  (GValue *value,
                                                         gpointer v_object);

Set the contents of a G_TYPE_OBJECT derived GValue to v_object.

g_value_set_object() increases the reference count of v_object (the GValue holds a reference to v_object). If you do not wish to increase the reference count of the object (i.e. you wish to pass your current reference to the GValue because you no longer need it), use g_value_take_object() instead.

It is important that your GValue holds a reference to v_object (either its own, or one it has taken) to ensure that the object won't be destroyed while the GValue still exists).

value :

a valid GValue of G_TYPE_OBJECT derived type

v_object :

object value to be set

g_value_take_object ()

void                g_value_take_object                 (GValue *value,
                                                         gpointer v_object);

Sets the contents of a G_TYPE_OBJECT derived GValue to v_object and takes over the ownership of the callers reference to v_object; the caller doesn't have to unref it any more (i.e. the reference count of the object is not increased).

If you want the GValue to hold its own reference to v_object, use g_value_set_object() instead.

value :

a valid GValue of G_TYPE_OBJECT derived type

v_object :

object value to be set

Since 2.4


g_value_set_object_take_ownership ()

void                g_value_set_object_take_ownership   (GValue *value,
                                                         gpointer v_object);

Warning

g_value_set_object_take_ownership has been deprecated since version 2.4 and should not be used in newly-written code. Use g_value_take_object() instead.

This is an internal function introduced mainly for C marshallers.

value :

a valid GValue of G_TYPE_OBJECT derived type

v_object :

object value to be set

gpointer            g_value_get_object                  (const GValue *value);

Get the contents of a G_TYPE_OBJECT derived GValue.

value :

a valid GValue of G_TYPE_OBJECT derived type

Returns :

object contents of value

g_value_dup_object ()

gpointer            g_value_dup_object                  (const GValue *value);

Get the contents of a G_TYPE_OBJECT derived GValue, increasing its reference count.

value :

a valid GValue whose type is derived from G_TYPE_OBJECT

Returns :

object content of value, should be unreferenced when no longer needed.
