-<p>
-      C APIs are defined by a set of functions and global variables which are usually exported from a
-      binary. C functions have an arbitrary number of arguments and one return value. Each function is thus
-      uniquely identified by the function name and the set of C types which describe the function arguments
-      and return value. The global variables exported by the API are similarly identified by their name and
-      their type.
-    </p>
-<p>
-      A C API is thus merely defined by a set of names to which a set of types are associated. If you know the
-      function calling convention and the mapping of the C types to the machine types used by the platform you
-      are on, you can resolve the name of each function to find where the code associated to this function
-      is located in memory, and then construct a valid argument list for the function. Finally, all you have to
-      do is trigger a call to the target C function with the argument list.
-    </p>
-<p>
-      For the sake of discussion, here is a sample C function and the associated 32 bit x86
-      assembly code generated by GCC on my Linux box:
-</p>
-<pre class="programlisting">
-static void function_foo (int foo)
-{}
-int main (int argc, char *argv[])
-{
-        function_foo (10);
-        return 0;
-}
-push   $0xa
-call   0x80482f4 &lt;function_foo&gt;
-</pre>
-<p>
-      The assembly code shown above is pretty straightforward: the first instruction pushes
-      the hexadecimal value 0xa (decimal value 10) as a 32-bit integer on the stack and calls
-      <code class="function">function_foo</code>. As you can see, C function calls are implemented by
-      gcc by native function calls (this is probably the fastest implementation possible).
-    </p>
-<p>
-      Now, let's say we want to call the C function <code class="function">function_foo</code> from
-      a Python program. To do this, the Python interpreter needs to:
-      </p>
-<div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" type="disc">
-<li class="listitem"><p>Find where the function is located. This probably means finding the binary generated by the C compiler
-        which exports this function.</p></li>
-<li class="listitem"><p>Load the code of the function in executable memory.</p></li>
-<li class="listitem"><p>Convert the Python parameters to C-compatible parameters before calling
-        the function.</p></li>
-<li class="listitem"><p>Call the function with the right calling convention.</p></li>
-<li class="listitem"><p>Convert the return values of the C function to Python-compatible
-        variables to return them to the Python code.</p></li>
-</ul></div>
-<p>
-    </p>
-<p>
-      The process described above is pretty complex and there are a lot of ways to make it entirely automatic
-      and transparent to C and Python programmers:
-      </p>
-<div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" type="disc">
-<li class="listitem"><p>The first solution is to write by hand a lot of glue code, once for each function exported or imported,
-        which does the Python-to-C parameter conversion and the C-to-Python return value conversion. This glue code is then
-        linked with the interpreter which allows Python programs to call Python functions which delegate work to
-        C functions.</p></li>
-<li class="listitem"><p>Another, nicer solution is to automatically generate the glue code, once for each function exported or
-        imported, with a special compiler which
-        reads the original function signature.</p></li>
-<li class="listitem"><p>The solution used by GLib is to use the GType library which holds at runtime a description of
-        all the objects manipulated by the programmer. This so-called <span class="emphasis"><em>dynamic type</em></span>
-        <sup>[<a name="id353740" href="#ftn.id353740" class="footnote">1</a>]</sup>
-        library is then used by special generic glue code to automatically convert function parameters and
-        function calling conventions between different runtime domains.</p></li>
-</ul></div>
-<p>
-      The greatest advantage of the solution implemented by GType is that the glue code sitting at the runtime domain
-      boundaries is written once: the figure below states this more clearly.
-      </p>
-<div class="figure">
-<a name="id353758"></a><p class="title"><b>Figure 1. </b></p>
-<div class="figure-contents"><div class="mediaobject" align="center"><img src="glue.png" align="middle"></div></div>
-</div>
-<p><br class="figure-break">
-      Currently, there exist at least Python and Perl generic glue code which makes it possible to use
-      C objects written with GType directly in Python or Perl, with a minimum amount of work: there
-      is no need to generate huge amounts of glue code either automatically or by hand.
-    </p>
-<p>
-      Although that goal was arguably laudable, its pursuit has had a major influence on
-      the whole GType/GObject library. C programmers are likely to be puzzled at the complexity
-      of the features exposed in the following chapters if they forget that the GType/GObject library
-      was not only designed to offer OO-like features to C programmers but also transparent
-      cross-language interoperability.

-            There are numerous different implementations of dynamic type systems: all C++
-            compilers have one, Java and .NET have one too. A dynamic type system allows you
-            to get information about every instantiated object at runtime. It can be implemented
-            by a process-specific database: every new object created registers the characteristics
-            of its associated type in the type system. It can also be implemented by introspection
-            interfaces. The common point between all these different type systems and implementations
-            is that they all allow you to query for object metadata at runtime.

-<p>
-      To specify that an interface requires the presence of other interfaces
-      when implemented, GObject introduces the concept of
-      <span class="emphasis"><em>prerequisites</em></span>: it is possible to associate
-      a list of prerequisite interfaces to an interface. For example, if
-      object A wishes to implement interface I1, and if interface I1 has a
-      prerequisite on interface I2, A has to implement both I1 and I2.
-    </p>
-<p>
-      The mechanism described above is, in practice, very similar to
-      Java's interface I1 extends interface I2. The example below shows
-      the GObject equivalent:
-</p>
-<pre class="programlisting">
-  /* inside the GType function of the MamanIbar interface */
-  type = g_type_register_static (G_TYPE_INTERFACE, "MamanIbar", &amp;info, 0);
-  /* Make the MamanIbar interface require MamanIbaz interface. */
-  g_type_interface_add_prerequisite (type, MAMAN_TYPE_IBAZ);
-</pre>
-<p>
-      The code shown above adds the MamanIbaz interface to the list of
-      prerequisites of MamanIbar while the code below shows how an
-      implementation can implement both interfaces and register their
-      implementations:
-</p>
-<pre class="programlisting">
-static void
-maman_ibar_do_another_action (MamanIbar *ibar)
-{
-  MamanBar *self = MAMAN_BAR (ibar);
-  g_print ("Bar implementation of IBar interface Another Action: 0x%x.\n",
-           self-&gt;instance_member);
-}
-static void
-maman_ibar_interface_init (MamanIbarInterface *iface)

-maman_ibaz_do_action (MamanIbaz *ibaz)

-  MamanBar *self = MAMAN_BAR (ibaz);
-  g_print ("Bar implementation of IBaz interface Action: 0x%x.\n",
-           self-&gt;instance_member);
-}
-static void
-maman_ibaz_interface_init (MamanIbazInterface *iface)
-{
-  iface-&gt;do_action = maman_ibaz_do_action;
-}
-static void
-maman_bar_class_init (MamanBarClass *klass)
-{
-}
-static void
-maman_bar_init (MamanBar *self)
-{
-  self-&gt;instance_member = 0x666;
-}
-G_DEFINE_TYPE_WITH_CODE (MamanBar, maman_bar, G_TYPE_OBJECT,
-                         G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE (MAMAN_TYPE_IBAZ,
-                                                maman_ibaz_interface_init)
-                         G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE (MAMAN_TYPE_IBAR,
-                                                maman_ibar_interface_init));
-</pre>
-<p>
-      It is very important to notice that the order in which interface
-      implementations are added to the main object is not random:
-      <code class="function"><a class="link" href="gobject-Type-Information.html#g-type-add-interface-static" title="g_type_add_interface_static ()">g_type_add_interface_static</a></code>,
-      which is called by <code class="function">G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE</code>, must be
-      invoked first on the interfaces which have no prerequisites and then on
-      the others.

-    The two previous chapters discussed the details of GLib's Dynamic Type System
-    and its signal control system. The GObject library also contains an implementation
-    for a base fundamental type named <span class="type"><a class="link" href="gobject-The-Base-Object-Type.html#GObject">GObject</a></span>.
-  </p>

-    <span class="type"><a class="link" href="gobject-The-Base-Object-Type.html#GObject">GObject</a></span> is a fundamental classed instantiable type. It implements:

-      family of functions can be used to instantiate any GType which inherits
-      from the GObject base type. All these functions make sure the class and

-      and then invoke at one point or another the constructor class method
-      which is used to:

-     Although one can expect all class and instance members (except the fields

-     to explicitly set them.

-<p>
-      Objects which inherit from GObject are allowed to override this
-      constructor class method: they should however chain to their parent
-      constructor method before doing so:

-<pre class="programlisting">

-      is expected to override the object's class methods and setup the

-      constructor, we can use the <code class="literal">maman_bar_parent_class</code>
-      pointer that has been set up for us by the
-      <code class="literal">G_DEFINE_TYPE</code> macro.
-    </p>
-<p>
-      Finally, at one point or another, <code class="function">g_object_constructor</code> is invoked
-      by the last constructor in the chain. This function allocates the object's instance' buffer
-      through <code class="function"><a class="link" href="gobject-Type-Information.html#g-type-create-instance" title="g_type_create_instance ()">g_type_create_instance</a></code>
-      which means that the instance_init function is invoked at this point if one
-      was registered. After instance_init returns, the object is fully initialized and should be
-      ready to answer any user-request. When <code class="function"><a class="link" href="gobject-Type-Information.html#g-type-create-instance" title="g_type_create_instance ()">g_type_create_instance</a></code>
-      returns, <code class="function">g_object_constructor</code> sets the construction properties
-      (i.e. the properties which were given to <code class="function"><a class="link" href="gobject-The-Base-Object-Type.html#g-object-new" title="g_object_new ()">g_object_new</a></code>) and returns
-      to the user's constructor which is then allowed to do useful instance initialization...
-    </p>
-<p>
-      The process described above might seem a bit complicated, but it can be
-      summarized easily by the table below which lists the functions invoked
-      by <code class="function"><a class="link" href="gobject-The-Base-Object-Type.html#g-object-new" title="g_object_new ()">g_object_new</a></code>

-      <code class="function">g_object_constructor</code> which is the top-level class
-      constructor method and to which users are expected to chain to), the
-      user's code which runs in a user-provided constructor will always
-      run <span class="emphasis"><em>after</em></span> GType's instance_init function since the
