Function

GLibdatalist_id_dup_data

since: 2.34

Declaration [src] 

gpointer
g_datalist_id_dup_data (
  GData** datalist,
  GQuark key_id,
  GDuplicateFunc dup_func,
  gpointer user_data
)

Description [src]

This is a variant of g_datalist_id_get_data() which returns a ‘duplicate’ of the value. dup_func defines the meaning of ‘duplicate’ in this context, it could e.g. take a reference on a ref-counted object.

If the key_id is not set in the datalist then dup_func will be called with a NULL argument.

Note that dup_func is called while the datalist is locked, so it is not allowed to read or modify the datalist.

This function can be useful to avoid races when multiple threads are using the same datalist and the same key.

Available since: 2.34

This function is not directly available to language bindings.
