Declaration [src]

guint
g_type_get_type_registration_serial (
  void
)

Description [src]

Returns an opaque serial number that represents the state of the set of registered types. Any time a type is registered this serial changes, which means you can cache information based on type lookups (such as g_type_from_name()) and know if the cache is still valid at a later time by comparing the current serial with the one at the type lookup.

Available since: 2.36

Return value

Type: guint

An unsigned int, representing the state of type registrations.
