Method

GObjectObjectset_qdata

Declaration [src]

void
g_object_set_qdata (
  GObject* object,
  GQuark quark,
  gpointer data
)

Description [src]

This sets an opaque, named pointer on an object. The name is specified through a GQuark (retrieved e.g. via g_quark_from_static_string()), and the pointer can be gotten back from the object with g_object_get_qdata() until the object is finalized. Setting a previously set user data pointer, overrides (frees) the old pointer set, using NULL as pointer essentially removes the data stored.

This method is not directly available to language bindings.

Parameters

quark

Type: GQuark

A GQuark, naming the user data pointer.

data

Type: gpointer

An opaque user data pointer.

The argument can be NULL.

The data is owned by the caller of the method.
