Function

GLibSourcenew

Declaration

GSource*
g_source_new (
  GSourceFuncs* source_funcs,
  guint struct_size
)

Description

Creates a new GSource structure. The size is specified to allow creating structures derived from GSource that contain additional data. The size passed in must be at least sizeof (GSource).

The source will not initially be associated with any GMainContext and must be added to one with g_source_attach() before it will be executed.

Parameters

source_funcs

Type: GSourceFuncs

Structure containing functions that implement the sources behavior.

The data is owned by the caller of the function.

struct_size

Type: guint

Size of the GSource structure to create.

Return value

Type: GSource

The newly-created GSource.

The caller of the function takes ownership of the data, and is responsible for freeing it.
