GIRegisteredTypeInfo

GIRegisteredTypeInfo — Struct representing a struct with a GType

Synopsis

#define             GI_IS_REGISTERED_TYPE_INFO          (info)
typedef             GIRegisteredTypeInfo;
const gchar *       g_registered_type_info_get_type_name
                                                        (GIRegisteredTypeInfo *info);
const gchar *       g_registered_type_info_get_type_init
                                                        (GIRegisteredTypeInfo *info);
GType               g_registered_type_info_get_g_type   (GIRegisteredTypeInfo *info);

Description

GIRegisteredTypeInfo represents an entity with a GType associated. Could be either a GIEnumInfo, GIInterfaceInfo, GIObjectInfo, GIStructInfo or a GIUnionInfo.

A registered type info struct has a name and a type function. To get the name call g_registered_type_info_get_type_name(). Most users want to call g_registered_type_info_get_g_type() and don't worry about the rest of the details.

Details

GI_IS_REGISTERED_TYPE_INFO()

#define             GI_IS_REGISTERED_TYPE_INFO(info)

info :


GIRegisteredTypeInfo

typedef GIBaseInfo GIRegisteredTypeInfo;

Represent a registered type.


g_registered_type_info_get_type_name ()

const gchar *       g_registered_type_info_get_type_name
                                                        (GIRegisteredTypeInfo *info);

Obtain the type name of the struct within the GObject type system. This type can be passed to g_type_name() to get a GType.

info :

a GIRegisteredTypeInfo

Returns :

the type name

g_registered_type_info_get_type_init ()

const gchar *       g_registered_type_info_get_type_init
                                                        (GIRegisteredTypeInfo *info);

Obtain the type init function for info. The type init function is the function which will register the GType within the GObject type system. Usually this is not called by langauge bindings or applications, use g_registered_type_info_get_g_type() directly instead.

info :

a GIRegisteredTypeInfo

Returns :

the symbol name of the type init function, suitable for passing into g_module_symbol().

g_registered_type_info_get_g_type ()

GType               g_registered_type_info_get_g_type   (GIRegisteredTypeInfo *info);

Obtain the GType for this registered type or G_TYPE_NONE which a special meaning. It means that either there is no type information associated with this info or that the shared library which provides the type_init function for this info cannot be called.

info :

a GIRegisteredTypeInfo

Returns :

the GType.
