A lot of our data structures are reference counted these days. It can be useful to allow creating reference counted data without necessarily duplicating all the reference counting machinery — a field in the struct, reference and unreference functions, a GDestroyNotify-compatible function for destroying the contents. We can re-use the same overallocation and pointer offset trick we use when allocating a GTypeInstance in gobject, and add all the reference counting meta-information directly on top of the allocation size. https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=622721
This package contains the reference documentation for GLib. For more information about Glib, see: http://www.gtk.org For information about contributing to the GLib/GTK+ reference documentation project, see: http://www.gtk.org/rdp/ The GLib reference documentation is freely redistributable, see the file COPYING for details. REQUIREMENTS ============ To build the documentation, you must have the gtk-doc package installed. To rebuild the template files, you must have the current version of the GLib header files installed. BUILD ===== First, run configure to generate the makefiles for this module. There is one option specific to this package --with-html-dir=DIR top of installed HTML documentation tree The Makefiles for this module define three targets: templates: Scan the headers and merge the results with the current template files sgml: Generate SGML files using the DocBook DTD from the template files html: Generate HTML from the SGML files. To build the documentation, do: make sgml make html You should only run the 'make templates' step if you need to regenerate the templates for a more recent version of the GLib sources. INSTALLATION ============ make install
