Function

GObjectboxed_type_register_static

Declaration

GType
g_boxed_type_register_static (
  const gchar* name,
  GBoxedCopyFunc boxed_copy,
  GBoxedFreeFunc boxed_free
)

Description

This function creates a new G_TYPE_BOXED derived type id for a new boxed type with name name.

Boxed type handling functions have to be provided to copy and free opaque boxed structures of this type.

For the general case, it is recommended to use G_DEFINE_BOXED_TYPE() instead of calling g_boxed_type_register_static() directly. The macro will create the appropriate *_get_type() function for the boxed type.

Parameters

name

Type: const gchar*

Name of the new boxed type.

The data is owned by the caller of the function.

The value is a NUL terminated UTF-8 string.

boxed_copy

Type: GBoxedCopyFunc

Boxed structure copy function.

boxed_free

Type: GBoxedFreeFunc

Boxed structure free function.

Return value

Type: GType

New G_TYPE_BOXED derived type id for name.
