/**
 * SECTION:gclosure
 * @short_description: Functions as first-class objects
 * @title: Closures
 *
 * A #GClosure represents a callback supplied by the programmer. It
 * will generally comprise a function of some kind and a marshaller
 * used to call it. It is the responsibility of the marshaller to
 * convert the arguments for the invocation from #GValues into
 * a suitable form, perform the callback on the converted arguments,
 * and transform the return value back into a #GValue.
 *
 * In the case of C programs, a closure usually just holds a pointer
 * to a function and maybe a data argument, and the marshaller
 * converts between #GValue and native C types. The GObject
 * library provides the #GCClosure type for this purpose. Bindings for
 * other languages need marshallers which convert between #GValue<!--
 * -->s and suitable representations in the runtime of the language in
 * order to use functions written in that languages as callbacks.
 *
 * Within GObject, closures play an important role in the
 * implementation of signals. When a signal is registered, the
 * @c_marshaller argument to g_signal_new() specifies the default C
 * marshaller for any closure which is connected to this
 * signal. GObject provides a number of C marshallers for this
 * purpose, see the g_cclosure_marshal_*() functions. Additional C
 * marshallers can be generated with the [glib-genmarshal][glib-genmarshal]
 * utility.  Closures can be explicitly connected to signals with
 * g_signal_connect_closure(), but it usually more convenient to let
 * GObject create a closure automatically by using one of the
 * g_signal_connect_*() functions which take a callback function/user
 * data pair.
 *
 * Using closures has a number of important advantages over a simple
 * callback function/data pointer combination:
 * 
 * - Closures allow the callee to get the types of the callback parameters,
 *   which means that language bindings don't have to write individual glue
 *   for each callback type.
 *
 * - The reference counting of #GClosure makes it easy to handle reentrancy
 *   right; if a callback is removed while it is being invoked, the closure
 *   and its parameters won't be freed until the invocation finishes.
 *
 * - g_closure_invalidate() and invalidation notifiers allow callbacks to be
 *   automatically removed when the objects they point to go away.

 * Takes over the initial ownership of a closure.  Each closure is
 * initially created in a "floating" state, which means that the initial
 * reference count is not owned by any caller. g_closure_sink() checks
 * to see if the object is still floating, and if so, unsets the
 * floating state and decreases the reference count. If the closure
 * is not floating, g_closure_sink() does nothing. The reason for the
 * existence of the floating state is to prevent cumbersome code
 * sequences like:
 * |[<!-- language="C" --> 
 * closure = g_cclosure_new (cb_func, cb_data);
 * g_source_set_closure (source, closure);
 * g_closure_unref (closure); // GObject doesn't really need this
 * ]|
 * Because g_source_set_closure() (and similar functions) take ownership of the
 * initial reference count, if it is unowned, we instead can write:
 * |[<!-- language="C" --> 
 * g_source_set_closure (source, g_cclosure_new (cb_func, cb_data));
 * ]|
 *
 * Generally, this function is used together with g_closure_ref(). Ane example
 * of storing a closure for later notification looks like:
 * |[<!-- language="C" --> 
 * static GClosure *notify_closure = NULL;
 * void
 * foo_notify_set_closure (GClosure *closure)

 *       g_closure_ref (notify_closure);
 *       g_closure_sink (notify_closure);
 *     }
 * }
 * ]|
 *
 * Because g_closure_sink() may decrement the reference count of a closure
 * (if it hasn't been called on @closure yet) just like g_closure_unref(),
 * g_closure_ref() should be called prior to this function.
