/**
 * SECTION:objects
 * @title: GObject
 * @short_description: The base object type
 * @see_also: #GParamSpecObject, g_param_spec_object()
 *
 * GObject is the fundamental type providing the common attributes and
 * methods for all object types in GTK+, Pango and other libraries
 * based on GObject.  The GObject class provides methods for object
 * construction and destruction, property access methods, and signal
 * support.  Signals are described in detail [here][gobject-Signals].
 *
 * ## Floating references # {#floating-ref}
 *
 * GInitiallyUnowned is derived from GObject. The only difference between
 * the two is that the initial reference of a GInitiallyUnowned is flagged
 * as a "floating" reference. This means that it is not specifically
 * claimed to be "owned" by any code portion. The main motivation for
 * providing floating references is C convenience. In particular, it
 * allows code to be written as:
 * |[<!-- language="C" --> 
 * container = create_container ();
 * container_add_child (container, create_child());
 * ]|
 * If container_add_child() calls g_object_ref_sink() on the passed-in child,
 * no reference of the newly created child is leaked. Without floating
 * references, container_add_child() can only g_object_ref() the new child,
 * so to implement this code without reference leaks, it would have to be
 * written as:
 * |[<!-- language="C" --> 
 * Child *child;
 * container = create_container ();
 * child = create_child ();
 * container_add_child (container, child);
 * g_object_unref (child);
 * ]|
 * The floating reference can be converted into an ordinary reference by
 * calling g_object_ref_sink(). For already sunken objects (objects that
 * don't have a floating reference anymore), g_object_ref_sink() is equivalent
 * to g_object_ref() and returns a new reference.
 *
 * Since floating references are useful almost exclusively for C convenience,
 * language bindings that provide automated reference and memory ownership
 * maintenance (such as smart pointers or garbage collection) should not
 * expose floating references in their API.
 *
 * Some object implementations may need to save an objects floating state
 * across certain code portions (an example is #GtkMenu), to achieve this,
 * the following sequence can be used:
 *
 * |[<!-- language="C" --> 
 * // save floating state
 * gboolean was_floating = g_object_is_floating (object);
 * g_object_ref_sink (object);
 * // protected code portion
 *
 * ...
 *
 * // restore floating state
 * if (was_floating)
 *   g_object_force_floating (object);
 * else
 *   g_object_unref (object); // release previously acquired reference
 * ]|
