Method

GObjectObjectdup_data

since: 2.34

Declaration [src]

gpointer
g_object_dup_data (
  GObject* object,
  const gchar* key,
  GDuplicateFunc dup_func,
  gpointer user_data
)

Description [src]

This is a variant of g_object_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 is not set on the object then dup_func will be called with a NULL argument.

Note that dup_func is called while user data of object is locked.

This function can be useful to avoid races when multiple threads are using object data on the same key on the same object.

Available since: 2.34

This method is not directly available to language bindings.
