+ * @collect_flags: optional flags
+ *
+ * This function is responsible for converting the values collected from
+ * a variadic argument list into contents suitable for storage in a #GValue.
+ *
+ * This function should setup @value similar to #GTypeValueInitFunc; e.g.
+ * for a string value that does not allow `NULL` pointers, it needs to either
+ * emit an error, or do an implicit conversion by storing an empty string.
+ *
+ * The @value passed in to this function has a zero-filled data array, so
+ * just like for #GTypeValueInitFunc it is guaranteed to not contain any old
+ * contents that might need freeing.
+ *
+ * The @n_collect_values argument is the string length of the `collect_format`
+ * field of #GTypeValueTable, and `collect_values` is an array of #GTypeCValue
+ * with length of @n_collect_values, containing the collected values according
+ * to `collect_format`.
+ *
+ * The @collect_flags argument provided as a hint by the caller. It may
+ * contain the flag %G_VALUE_NOCOPY_CONTENTS indicating that the collected
+ * value contents may be considered ‘static’ for the duration of the @value
+ * lifetime. Thus an extra copy of the contents stored in @collect_values is
+ * not required for assignment to @value.
+ *
+ * For our above string example, we continue with:
+ *
+ * |[<!-- language="C" -->
+ * if (!collect_values[0].v_pointer)
+ *   value->data[0].v_pointer = g_strdup ("");
+ * else if (collect_flags & G_VALUE_NOCOPY_CONTENTS)
+ *   {
+ *     value->data[0].v_pointer = collect_values[0].v_pointer;
+ *     // keep a flag for the value_free() implementation to not free this string
+ *     value->data[1].v_uint = G_VALUE_NOCOPY_CONTENTS;
+ *   }
+ * else
+ *   value->data[0].v_pointer = g_strdup (collect_values[0].v_pointer);
+ * return NULL;
+ * ]|
+ *
+ * It should be noted, that it is generally a bad idea to follow the
+ * %G_VALUE_NOCOPY_CONTENTS hint for reference counted types. Due to
+ * reentrancy requirements and reference count assertions performed
+ * by the signal emission code, reference counts should always be
+ * incremented for reference counted contents stored in the `value->data`
+ * array. To deviate from our string example for a moment, and taking
+ * a look at an exemplary implementation for `GTypeValueTable.collect_value()`
+ * of `GObject`:
+ *
+ * |[<!-- language="C" -->
+ * GObject *object = G_OBJECT (collect_values[0].v_pointer);
+ * g_return_val_if_fail (object != NULL,
+ *    g_strdup_printf ("Object %p passed as invalid NULL pointer", object));
+ * // never honour G_VALUE_NOCOPY_CONTENTS for ref-counted types
+ * value->data[0].v_pointer = g_object_ref (object);
+ * return NULL;
+ * ]|
+ *
+ * The reference count for valid objects is always incremented, regardless
+ * of `collect_flags`. For invalid objects, the example returns a newly
+ * allocated string without altering `value`.
+ *
+ * Upon success, `collect_value()` needs to return `NULL`. If, however,
+ * an error condition occurred, `collect_value()` should return a newly
+ * allocated string containing an error diagnostic.
+ *
+ * The calling code makes no assumptions about the `value` contents being
+ * valid upon error returns, `value` is simply thrown away without further
+ * freeing. As such, it is a good idea to not allocate `GValue` contents
+ * prior to returning an error; however, `collect_values()` is not obliged
+ * to return a correctly setup @value for error returns, simply because
+ * any non-`NULL` return is considered a fatal programming error, and
+ * further program behaviour is undefined.
+ *
+ * Returns: (transfer full) (nullable): `NULL` on success, otherwise a
+ *   newly allocated error string on failure

+ *   a private structure from your .c file to store your instance variables.
+ *
+ * - the `GtkFrobberClass` type is defined as a typedef to `struct _GtkFrobberClass`, which is left undefined.
+ *   You should do this from the header file directly after you use the macro.
+ *
+ * - the `GTK_FROBBER()` and `GTK_FROBBER_CLASS()` casts are emitted as `static inline` functions along with
+ *   the `GTK_IS_FROBBER()` and `GTK_IS_FROBBER_CLASS()` type checking functions and `GTK_FROBBER_GET_CLASS()`
+ *   function.
+ *
+ * - g_autoptr() support being added for your type, based on the type of your parent class
+ *
+ * You can only use this function if your parent type also supports g_autoptr().
+ *
+ * Because the type macro (`GTK_TYPE_FROBBER` in the above example) is not a callable, you must continue to
+ * manually define this as a macro for yourself.
+ *
+ * The declaration of the `_get_type()` function is the first thing emitted by the macro.  This allows this macro
+ * to be used in the usual way with export control and API versioning macros.
+ *
+ * If you are writing a library, it is important to note that it is possible to convert a type from using
+ * G_DECLARE_FINAL_TYPE() to G_DECLARE_DERIVABLE_TYPE() without breaking API or ABI.  As a precaution, you
+ * should therefore use G_DECLARE_FINAL_TYPE() until you are sure that it makes sense for your class to be
+ * subclassed.  Once a class structure has been exposed it is not possible to change its size or remove or
+ * reorder items without breaking the API and/or ABI.  If you want to declare your own class structure, use
+ * G_DECLARE_DERIVABLE_TYPE().  If you want to declare a class without exposing the class or instance
+ * structures, use G_DECLARE_FINAL_TYPE().
+ *
+ * If you must use G_DECLARE_DERIVABLE_TYPE() you should be sure to include some padding at the bottom of your
