Declaration [src]
void
g_source_set_dispose_function (
GSource* source,
GSourceDisposeFunc dispose
)
Description [src]
Set dispose
as dispose function on source
.
The dispose
function will be called once the reference count of source
reaches zero but before any of the state of the source is freed, especially
before the finalize function (set as part of the GSourceFuncs
) is called.
This means that at this point source
is still a valid GSource
and it is allow for the reference count to increase again until dispose
returns.
The dispose function can be used to clear any ‘weak’ references to
the source
in other data structures in a thread-safe way where it is
possible for another thread to increase the reference count of source
again
while it is being freed.
The finalize function can not be used for this purpose as at that
point source
is already partially freed and not valid any more.
This should only ever be called from GSource
implementations.
Available since: 2.64
