Philip Withnall d951db4236 gobject: Add g_set_object() convenience function to set GObject pointers ... Along the same lines as g_clear_object(), g_set_object() is a convenience function to update a GObject pointer, handling reference counting transparently and correctly. Specifically, it handles the case where a pointer is set to its current value. If handled naïvely, that could result in the object instance being finalised. In the following code, that happens when (my_obj == new_value) and the object has a single reference: g_clear_object (&my_obj); my_obj = g_object_ref (new_value); It also simplifies boilerplate code such as set_property() implementations, which are otherwise long and boring. Test cases included. https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=741589		2014-12-18 11:32:56 +00:00
