<a name="gobject-Type-Information.description"></a><h2>Description</h2>
<p>The GType API is the foundation of the GObject system. It provides the
facilities for registering and managing all fundamental data types,
user-defined object and interface types.</p>
<p>For type creation and registration purposes, all types fall into one of
two categories: static or dynamic. Static types are never loaded or
unloaded at run-time as dynamic types may be. Static types are created
with <a class="link" href="gobject-Type-Information.html#g-type-register-static" title="g_type_register_static ()"><code class="function">g_type_register_static()</code></a> that gets type specific information passed
in via a <a class="link" href="gobject-Type-Information.html#GTypeInfo" title="struct GTypeInfo"><span class="type">GTypeInfo</span></a> structure.</p>
<p>Dynamic types are created with <a class="link" href="gobject-Type-Information.html#g-type-register-dynamic" title="g_type_register_dynamic ()"><code class="function">g_type_register_dynamic()</code></a> which takes a
<a class="link" href="GTypePlugin.html" title="GTypePlugin"><span class="type">GTypePlugin</span></a> structure instead. The remaining type information (the
<a class="link" href="gobject-Type-Information.html#GTypeInfo" title="struct GTypeInfo"><span class="type">GTypeInfo</span></a> structure) is retrieved during runtime through <a class="link" href="GTypePlugin.html" title="GTypePlugin"><span class="type">GTypePlugin</span></a>
and the g_type_plugin_*() API.</p>
<p>These registration functions are usually called only once from a
function whose only purpose is to return the type identifier for a
specific class. Once the type (or class or interface) is registered,
it may be instantiated, inherited, or implemented depending on exactly
what sort of type it is.</p>
<p>There is also a third registration function for registering fundamental
types called <a class="link" href="gobject-Type-Information.html#g-type-register-fundamental" title="g_type_register_fundamental ()"><code class="function">g_type_register_fundamental()</code></a> which requires both a <a class="link" href="gobject-Type-Information.html#GTypeInfo" title="struct GTypeInfo"><span class="type">GTypeInfo</span></a>
structure and a <a class="link" href="gobject-Type-Information.html#GTypeFundamentalInfo" title="struct GTypeFundamentalInfo"><span class="type">GTypeFundamentalInfo</span></a> structure but it is seldom used
since most fundamental types are predefined rather than user-defined.</p>
<p>Type instance and class structs are limited to a total of 64 KiB,
including all parent types. Similarly, type instances' private data
(as created by <a class="link" href="gobject-Type-Information.html#g-type-class-add-private" title="g_type_class_add_private ()"><code class="function">g_type_class_add_private()</code></a>) are limited to a total of
64 KiB. If a type instance needs a large static buffer, allocate it
separately (typically by using <a href="../glib-Arrays.html#GArray"><span class="type">GArray</span></a> or <a href="../glib-Pointer-Arrays.html#GPtrArray"><span class="type">GPtrArray</span></a>) and put a pointer
to the buffer in the structure.</p>
<p>As mentioned in the <a class="link" href="gtype-conventions.html" title="Conventions">GType conventions</a>, type names must
be at least three characters long. There is no upper length limit. The first
character must be a letter (a–z or A–Z) or an underscore (‘_’). Subsequent
characters can be letters, numbers or any of ‘-_+’.</p>

<p>A callback function used by the type system to do base initialization
of the class structures of derived types. It is called as part of the
initialization process of all derived classes and should reallocate
or reset all dynamic class members copied over from the parent class.
For example, class members (such as strings) that are not sufficiently
handled by a plain memory copy of the parent class into the derived class
have to be altered. See <a class="link" href="gobject-Type-Information.html#GClassInitFunc" title="GClassInitFunc ()"><code class="function">GClassInitFunc()</code></a> for a discussion of the class

<p>A callback function used by the type system to initialize the class
of a specific type. This function should initialize all static class
members.</p>
<p>The initialization process of a class involves:</p>
<div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" style="list-style-type: disc; ">
<li class="listitem"><p>Copying common members from the parent class over to the
derived class structure.</p></li>
<li class="listitem"><p>Zero initialization of the remaining members not copied

<li class="listitem"><p>Invocation of the <a class="link" href="gobject-Type-Information.html#GBaseInitFunc" title="GBaseInitFunc ()"><code class="function">GBaseInitFunc()</code></a> initializers of all parent

</ul></div>
<p>Since derived classes are partially initialized through a memory copy
of the parent class, the general rule is that <a class="link" href="gobject-Type-Information.html#GBaseInitFunc" title="GBaseInitFunc ()"><code class="function">GBaseInitFunc()</code></a> and
<a class="link" href="gobject-Type-Information.html#GBaseFinalizeFunc" title="GBaseFinalizeFunc ()"><code class="function">GBaseFinalizeFunc()</code></a> should take care of necessary reinitialization
and release of those class members that were introduced by the type
that specified these <a class="link" href="gobject-Type-Information.html#GBaseInitFunc" title="GBaseInitFunc ()"><code class="function">GBaseInitFunc()</code></a>/<a class="link" href="gobject-Type-Information.html#GBaseFinalizeFunc" title="GBaseFinalizeFunc ()"><code class="function">GBaseFinalizeFunc()</code></a>.
<a class="link" href="gobject-Type-Information.html#GClassInitFunc" title="GClassInitFunc ()"><code class="function">GClassInitFunc()</code></a> should only care about initializing static
class members, while dynamic class members (such as allocated strings
or reference counted resources) are better handled by a <a class="link" href="gobject-Type-Information.html#GBaseInitFunc" title="GBaseInitFunc ()"><code class="function">GBaseInitFunc()</code></a>
for this type, so proper initialization of the dynamic class members
is performed for class initialization of derived types as well.</p>
<p>An example may help to correspond the intend of the different class
initializers:</p>

Initialization of TypeBClass will first cause initialization of
TypeAClass (derived classes reference their parent classes, see
<a class="link" href="gobject-Type-Information.html#g-type-class-ref" title="g_type_class_ref ()"><code class="function">g_type_class_ref()</code></a> on this).</p>
<p>Initialization of TypeAClass roughly involves zero-initializing its fields,
then calling its <a class="link" href="gobject-Type-Information.html#GBaseInitFunc" title="GBaseInitFunc ()"><code class="function">GBaseInitFunc()</code></a> <code class="function">type_a_base_class_init()</code> to allocate
its dynamic members (dynamic_string), and finally calling its <a class="link" href="gobject-Type-Information.html#GClassInitFunc" title="GClassInitFunc ()"><code class="function">GClassInitFunc()</code></a>
<code class="function">type_a_class_init()</code> to initialize its static members (static_integer).
The first step in the initialization process of TypeBClass is then
a plain memory copy of the contents of TypeAClass into TypeBClass and
zero-initialization of the remaining fields in TypeBClass.
The dynamic members of TypeAClass within TypeBClass now need
reinitialization which is performed by calling <code class="function">type_a_base_class_init()</code>
with an argument of TypeBClass.</p>
<p>After that, the <a class="link" href="gobject-Type-Information.html#GBaseInitFunc" title="GBaseInitFunc ()"><code class="function">GBaseInitFunc()</code></a> of TypeBClass, <code class="function">type_b_base_class_init()</code>
is called to allocate the dynamic members of TypeBClass (dynamic_gstring),
and finally the <a class="link" href="gobject-Type-Information.html#GClassInitFunc" title="GClassInitFunc ()"><code class="function">GClassInitFunc()</code></a> of TypeBClass, <code class="function">type_b_class_init()</code>,
is called to complete the initialization process with the static members
(static_float).</p>
<p>Corresponding finalization counter parts to the <a class="link" href="gobject-Type-Information.html#GBaseInitFunc" title="GBaseInitFunc ()"><code class="function">GBaseInitFunc()</code></a> functions
have to be provided to release allocated resources at class finalization
time.</p>

<p>Creates and initializes an instance of <em class="parameter"><code>type</code></em>

is valid and
can be instantiated. The type system only performs basic allocation
and structure setups for instances: actual instance creation should

implementators of fundamental types only. E.g. instances of the

directly through <a class="link" href="gobject-Type-Information.html#g-type-create-instance" title="g_type_create_instance ()"><code class="function">g_type_create_instance()</code></a> which doesn't handle things
like singleton objects or object construction.</p>
<p>The extended members of the returned instance are guaranteed to be filled
with zeros.</p>
<p>Note: Do not use this function, unless you're implementing a
fundamental type. Also language bindings should not use this

<p>Ensures that the indicated <em class="parameter"><code>type</code></em>
has been registered with the
type system, and its <code class="function">_class_init()</code> method has been run.</p>
<p>In theory, simply calling the type's <code class="function">_get_type()</code> method (or using
the corresponding macro) is supposed take care of this. However,
<code class="function">_get_type()</code> methods are often marked <a href="../glib-Miscellaneous-Macros.html#G-GNUC-CONST:CAPS"><code class="literal">G_GNUC_CONST</code></a> for performance
reasons, even though this is technically incorrect (since
<a href="../glib-Miscellaneous-Macros.html#G-GNUC-CONST:CAPS"><code class="literal">G_GNUC_CONST</code></a> requires that the function not have side effects,
which <code class="function">_get_type()</code> methods do on the first call). As a result, if
you write a bare call to a <code class="function">_get_type()</code> macro, it may get optimized
out by the compiler. Using <a class="link" href="gobject-Type-Information.html#g-type-ensure" title="g_type_ensure ()"><code class="function">g_type_ensure()</code></a> guarantees that the
type's <code class="function">_get_type()</code> method is called.</p>

<p>The <code class="function">collect_value()</code> function is responsible for converting the
values collected from a variable argument list into contents
suitable for storage in a GValue. This function should setup
<em class="parameter"><code>value</code></em>
similar to <code class="function">value_init()</code>; e.g. for a string value that
does not allow <a href="../glib-Standard-Macros.html#NULL:CAPS"><code class="literal">NULL</code></a> pointers, it needs to either spew an error,
or do an implicit conversion by storing an empty string.
The <em class="parameter"><code>value</code></em>
passed in to this function has a zero-filled data
array, so just like for <code class="function">value_init()</code> it is guaranteed to not
contain any old contents that might need freeing.
<em class="parameter"><code>n_collect_values</code></em>
is exactly the string length of <em class="parameter"><code>collect_format</code></em>
,
and <em class="parameter"><code>collect_values</code></em>
is an array of unions <a class="link" href="gobject-Varargs-Value-Collection.html#GTypeCValue" title="GTypeCValue"><span class="type">GTypeCValue</span></a> with
length <em class="parameter"><code>n_collect_values</code></em>
, containing the collected values
according to <em class="parameter"><code>collect_format</code></em>
.
<em class="parameter"><code>collect_flags</code></em>
is an argument provided as a hint by the caller.
It may contain the flag <code class="literal">G_VALUE_NOCOPY_CONTENTS</code> indicating,
that the collected value contents may be considered "static"
for the duration of the <em class="parameter"><code>value</code></em>
lifetime.
Thus an extra copy of the contents stored in <em class="parameter"><code>collect_values</code></em>
is
not required for assignment to <em class="parameter"><code>value</code></em>
.

It should be noted, that it is generally a bad idea to follow the
<span class="type">G_VALUE_NOCOPY_CONTENTS</span> hint for reference counted types. Due to
reentrancy requirements and reference count assertions performed
by the signal emission code, reference counts should always be
incremented for reference counted contents stored in the value-&gt;data
array. To deviate from our string example for a moment, and taking
a look at an exemplary implementation for <code class="function">collect_value()</code> of

The reference count for valid objects is always incremented,
regardless of <em class="parameter"><code>collect_flags</code></em>
. For invalid objects, the example
returns a newly allocated string without altering <em class="parameter"><code>value</code></em>
.
Upon success, <code class="function">collect_value()</code> needs to return <a href="../glib-Standard-Macros.html#NULL:CAPS"><code class="literal">NULL</code></a>. If, however,
an error condition occurred, <code class="function">collect_value()</code> may spew an
error by returning a newly allocated non-<a href="../glib-Standard-Macros.html#NULL:CAPS"><code class="literal">NULL</code></a> string, giving
a suitable description of the error condition.
The calling code makes no assumptions about the <em class="parameter"><code>value</code></em>
contents being valid upon error returns, <em class="parameter"><code>value</code></em>
is simply thrown away without further freeing. As such, it is
a good idea to not allocate <a class="link" href="gobject-Generic-values.html#GValue" title="GValue"><span class="type">GValue</span></a> contents, prior to returning
an error, however, <code class="function">collect_values()</code> is not obliged to return
a correctly setup <em class="parameter"><code>value</code></em>
for error returns, simply because
any non-<a href="../glib-Standard-Macros.html#NULL:CAPS"><code class="literal">NULL</code></a> return is considered a fatal condition so further
program behaviour is undefined.</p>
