 * @class_data: The @class_data member supplied via the #GTypeInfo structure.
 * 
 * A callback function used by the type system to initialize the class
 * of a specific type. This function should initialize all static class
 * members.
 *
 * The initialization process of a class involves:
 * 
 * - Copying common members from the parent class over to the

 * - Zero initialization of the remaining members not copied
 *   over from the parent class.
 * - Invocation of the GBaseInitFunc() initializers of all parent
 *   types and the class' type.
 * - Invocation of the class' GClassInitFunc() initializer.
 *
 * Since derived classes are partially initialized through a memory copy
 * of the parent class, the general rule is that GBaseInitFunc() and
 * GBaseFinalizeFunc() should take care of necessary reinitialization
 * and release of those class members that were introduced by the type
 * that specified these GBaseInitFunc()/GBaseFinalizeFunc().
 * GClassInitFunc() 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 GBaseInitFunc()
 * for this type, so proper initialization of the dynamic class members
 * is performed for class initialization of derived types as well.
 *
 * An example may help to correspond the intend of the different class
 * initializers:

 * Initialization of TypeBClass will first cause initialization of

 * g_type_class_ref() on this).
 *
 * Initialization of TypeAClass roughly involves zero-initializing its fields,
 * then calling its GBaseInitFunc() type_a_base_class_init() to allocate
 * its dynamic members (dynamic_string), and finally calling its GClassInitFunc()
 * type_a_class_init() 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 type_a_base_class_init()
 * with an argument of TypeBClass.
 *
 * After that, the GBaseInitFunc() of TypeBClass, type_b_base_class_init()
 * is called to allocate the dynamic members of TypeBClass (dynamic_gstring),
 * and finally the GClassInitFunc() of TypeBClass, type_b_class_init(),
 * is called to complete the initialization process with the static members
 * (static_float).

 *  look like:
 *  |[<!-- language="C" -->
 *  value->data[0].v_pointer = g_strdup ("");
 *  ]|
 * @value_free: Free any old contents that might be left in the
 *  data array of the passed in @value. No resources may
 *  remain allocated through the #GValue contents after
 *  this function returns. E.g. for our above string type:
 *  |[<!-- language="C" -->

 *  ]|
 * @value_copy: @dest_value is a #GValue with zero-filled data section
 *  and @src_value is a properly setup #GValue of same or
 *  derived type.
 *  The purpose of this function is to copy the contents of
 *  @src_value into @dest_value in a way, that even after
 *  @src_value has been freed, the contents of @dest_value
 *  remain valid. String type example:
 *  |[<!-- language="C" -->
 *  dest_value->data[0].v_pointer = g_strdup (src_value->data[0].v_pointer);
 *  ]|
 * @value_peek_pointer: If the value contents fit into a pointer, such as objects
 *  or strings, return this pointer, so the caller can peek at
 *  the current contents. To extend on our above string example:
 *  |[<!-- language="C" -->
 *  return value->data[0].v_pointer;
 *  ]|
 * @collect_format: A string format describing how to collect the contents of
 *  this value bit-by-bit. Each character in the format represents
 *  an argument to be collected, and the characters themselves indicate
 *  the type of the argument. Currently supported arguments are:
 *  - 'i' - Integers. passed as collect_values[].v_int.
 *  - 'l' - Longs. passed as collect_values[].v_long.
 *  - 'd' - Doubles. passed as collect_values[].v_double.
 *  - 'p' - Pointers. passed as collect_values[].v_pointer.
 *  It should be noted that for variable argument list construction,
 *  ANSI C promotes every type smaller than an integer to an int, and
 *  floats to doubles. So for collection of short int or char, 'i'
 *  needs to be used, and for collection of floats 'd'.
 * @collect_value: The collect_value() 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
 *  @value similar to value_init(); e.g. for a string value that
 *  does not allow %NULL pointers, it needs to either spew an error,
 *  or do an implicit conversion by storing an empty string.
 *  The @value passed in to this function has a zero-filled data
 *  array, so just like for value_init() it is guaranteed to not
 *  contain any old contents that might need freeing.
 *  @n_collect_values is exactly the string length of @collect_format,
 *  and @collect_values is an array of unions #GTypeCValue with
 *  length @n_collect_values, containing the collected values
 *  according to @collect_format.
 *  @collect_flags is an argument provided as a hint by the caller.
 *  It may contain the flag %G_VALUE_NOCOPY_CONTENTS indicating,
 *  that the collected value contents may be considered "static"
 *  for the duration of the @value lifetime.
 *  Thus an extra copy of the contents stored in @collect_values is
 *  not required for assignment to @value.
 *  For our above string example, we continue with:
 *  |[<!-- language="C" -->
 *  if (!collect_values[0].v_pointer)
 *    value->data[0].v_pointer = g_strdup ("");
 *  else if (collect_flags & G_VALUE_NOCOPY_CONTENTS)
 *  {
 *    value->data[0].v_pointer = collect_values[0].v_pointer;
 *    // keep a flag for the value_free() implementation to not free this string
 *    value->data[1].v_uint = G_VALUE_NOCOPY_CONTENTS;
 *  }
 *  else
 *    value->data[0].v_pointer = g_strdup (collect_values[0].v_pointer);
 *  return NULL;
 *  ]|
 *  It should be noted, that it is generally a bad idea to follow the
 *  #G_VALUE_NOCOPY_CONTENTS 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->data
 *  array.  To deviate from our string example for a moment, and taking
 *  a look at an exemplary implementation for collect_value() of
 *  #GObject:
 *  |[<!-- language="C" -->
 *  if (collect_values[0].v_pointer)
 *  {
 *    GObject *object = G_OBJECT (collect_values[0].v_pointer);
 *    // never honour G_VALUE_NOCOPY_CONTENTS for ref-counted types
 *    value->data[0].v_pointer = g_object_ref (object);
 *    return NULL;
 *  }
 *  else
 *    return g_strdup_printf ("Object passed as invalid NULL pointer");
 *  }
 *  ]|
 *  The reference count for valid objects is always incremented,
 *  regardless of @collect_flags. For invalid objects, the example
 *  returns a newly allocated string without altering @value.
 *  Upon success, collect_value() needs to return %NULL. If, however,
 *  an error condition occurred, collect_value() may spew an
 *  error by returning a newly allocated non-%NULL string, giving
 *  a suitable description of the error condition.
 *  The calling code makes no assumptions about the @value
 *  contents being valid upon error returns, @value
 *  is simply thrown away without further freeing. As such, it is
 *  a good idea to not allocate #GValue contents, prior to returning
 *  an error, however, collect_values() is not obliged to return
 *  a correctly setup @value for error returns, simply because
 *  any non-%NULL return is considered a fatal condition so further
 *  program behaviour is undefined.
 * @lcopy_format: Format description of the arguments to collect for @lcopy_value,
 *  analogous to @collect_format. Usually, @lcopy_format string consists
 *  only of 'p's to provide lcopy_value() with pointers to storage locations.
 * @lcopy_value: This function is responsible for storing the @value contents into
 *  arguments passed through a variable argument list which got
 *  collected into @collect_values according to @lcopy_format.
 *  @n_collect_values equals the string length of @lcopy_format,
 *  and @collect_flags may contain %G_VALUE_NOCOPY_CONTENTS.
 *  In contrast to collect_value(), lcopy_value() is obliged to
 *  always properly support %G_VALUE_NOCOPY_CONTENTS.
 *  Similar to collect_value() the function may prematurely abort
 *  by returning a newly allocated string describing an error condition.
 *  To complete the string example:
 *  |[<!-- language="C" -->
 *  gchar **string_p = collect_values[0].v_pointer;
 *  if (!string_p)
 *    return g_strdup_printf ("string location passed as NULL");
 *  if (collect_flags & G_VALUE_NOCOPY_CONTENTS)
 *    *string_p = value->data[0].v_pointer;
 *  else
 *    *string_p = g_strdup (value->data[0].v_pointer);
 *  ]|
 *  And an illustrative version of lcopy_value() for
 *  reference-counted types:
 *  |[<!-- language="C" -->
 *  GObject **object_p = collect_values[0].v_pointer;
 *  if (!object_p)
 *    return g_strdup_printf ("object location passed as NULL");
 *  if (!value->data[0].v_pointer)
 *    *object_p = NULL;
 *  else if (collect_flags & G_VALUE_NOCOPY_CONTENTS) // always honour
 *    *object_p = value->data[0].v_pointer;
 *  else
 *    *object_p = g_object_ref (value->data[0].v_pointer);
 *  return NULL;
 *  ]|
 * 
 * The #GTypeValueTable provides the functions required by the #GValue
 * implementation, to serve as a container for values of a type.

 * @MODULE: The name of the module, in all caps (like 'GTK')
 * @OBJ_NAME: The bare name of the type, in all caps (like 'WIDGET')
 * @ParentName: the name of the parent type, in camel case (like GtkWidget)
 *
 * A convenience macro for emitting the usual declarations in the header file for a type which is not (at the
 * present time) intended to be subclassed.
 *
 * You might use it in a header as follows:
 *
 * |[
 * #ifndef _myapp_window_h_
 * #define _myapp_window_h_
 *
 * #include <gtk/gtk.h>
 *
 * #define MY_APP_TYPE_WINDOW my_app_window_get_type ()

 *
 * MyAppWindow *    my_app_window_new    (void);
 *
 * ...
 *
 * #endif
 * ]|
 *
 * This results in the following things happening:
 *
 * - the usual my_app_window_get_type() function is declared with a return type of #GType
 *
 * - the MyAppWindow types is defined as a typedef of struct _MyAppWindow.  The struct itself is not
 *   defined and should be defined from the .c file before G_DEFINE_TYPE() is used.
 *
 * - the MY_APP_WINDOW() cast is emitted as static inline function along with the MY_APP_IS_WINDOW() type
 *   checking function
 *
 * - the MyAppWindowClass type is defined as a struct containing GtkWindowClass.  This is done for the
 *   convenience of the person defining the type and should not be considered to be part of the ABI.  In
 *   particular, without a firm declaration of the instance structure, it is not possible to subclass the type
 *   and therefore the fact that the size of the class structure is exposed is not a concern and it can be
 *   freely changed at any point in the future.
 *
 * - g_autoptr() support being added for your type, based on the type of your parent class
 *
 * You can only use this function if your parent type also supports g_autoptr().
 *
 * Because the type macro (MY_APP_TYPE_WINDOW in the above example) is not a callable, you must continue to
 * manually define this as a macro for yourself.
 *
 * The declaration of the _get_type() function is the first thing emitted by the macro.  This allows this macro
 * to be used in the usual way with export control and API versioning macros.
 *
 * If you want to declare your own class structure, use G_DECLARE_DERIVABLE_TYPE().
 *
 * If you are writing a library, it is important to note that it is possible to convert a type from using
 * G_DECLARE_FINAL_TYPE() to G_DECLARE_DERIVABLE_TYPE() without breaking API or ABI.  As a precaution, you
 * should therefore use G_DECLARE_FINAL_TYPE() until you are sure that it makes sense for your class to be
 * subclassed.  Once a class structure has been exposed it is not possible to change its size or remove or
 * reorder items without breaking the API and/or ABI.
