Method
GObjectTypeModuleregister_type
Declaration [src]
GType
g_type_module_register_type (
GTypeModule* module,
GType parent_type,
const gchar* type_name,
const GTypeInfo* type_info,
GTypeFlags flags
)
Description [src]
Looks up or registers a type that is implemented with a particular
type plugin. If a type with name type_name
was previously registered,
the GType
identifier for the type is returned, otherwise the type
is newly registered, and the resulting GType
identifier returned.
When reregistering a type (typically because a module is unloaded
then reloaded, and reinitialized), module
and parent_type
must
be the same as they were previously.
As long as any instances of the type exist, the type plugin will not be unloaded.
Since 2.56 if module
is NULL
this will call g_type_register_static()
instead. This can be used when making a static build of the module.
