/**
* g_set_object: (skip)
* @object_ptr: a pointer to a #GObject reference
* @object_ptr: (inout) (not optional) (nullable): a pointer to a #GObject reference
* @new_object: (nullable) (transfer none): a pointer to the new #GObject to
* assign to it, or %NULL to clear the pointer
* assign to @object_ptr, or %NULL to clear the pointer
*
* Updates a #GObject pointer to refer to @new_object. It increments the
* reference count of @new_object (if non-%NULL), decrements the reference
* count of the current value of @object_ptr (if non-%NULL), and assigns
* @new_object to @object_ptr. The assignment is not atomic.
*
* @object_ptr must not be %NULL.
* @object_ptr must not be %NULL, but can point to a %NULL value.
*
* A macro is also included that allows this function to be used without
* pointer casts. The function itself is static inline, so its address may vary
