/**
* SECTION:Closures
* @Short_description: Functions as first-class objects
*
* 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
* reponsibility of the marshaller to convert the arguments for the invocation
* from #GValue<!-- -->s 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 <link linkend="glib-genmarshal"
* >glib-genmarshal</link> 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:
* <itemizedlist>
* <listitem><para>
* 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.
* </para></listitem>
* <listitem><para>
* 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 it's parameters won't be freed until the invocation finishes.
* </para></listitem>
* <listitem><para>
* g_closure_invalidate() and invalidation notifiers allow callbacks to be
* automatically removed when the objects they point to go away.
* </para></listitem>
* </itemizedlist>
