This method may only be called before tp_base_client_register() is called, and may only be called on objects whose class implements #TpBaseClientClass.observe_channels.

If the variant is floating (see g_variant_ref_sink()), ownership will be taken, allowing for uses like this:

|[ tp_base_client_add_observer_filter_vardict (client, g_variant_new_parsed ("{ %s: <%s>, %s: <%u>, ... }", TP_PROP_CHANNEL_CHANNEL_TYPE, TP_IFACE_CHANNEL_TYPE_TEXT, TP_PROP_CHANNEL_TARGET_HANDLE_TYPE, (guint32) TP_HANDLE_TYPE_CONTACT, ...));

@param filter a variant of type %G_VARIANT_TYPE_VARDICT

This method may only be called before tp_base_client_register() is called, and may only be called on objects whose class implements #TpBaseClientClass.handle_channels.

Whenever the source_property is changed the target_property is updated using the same value. For instance:

  g_object_bind_property (action, "active", widget, "sensitive", 0);

Will result in the "sensitive" property of the widget #GObject instance to be updated with the same value of the "active" property of the action #GObject instance.

If flags contains %G_BINDING_BIDIRECTIONAL then the binding will be mutual: if target_property on target changes then the source_property on source will be updated as well.

The binding will automatically be removed when either the source or the target instances are finalized. To remove the binding without affecting the source and the target you can just call g_object_unref() on the returned #GBinding instance.

Removing the binding by calling g_object_unref() on it must only be done if the binding, source and target are only used from a single thread and it is clear that both source and target outlive the binding. Especially it is not safe to rely on this if the binding, source or target can be finalized from different threads. Keep another reference to the binding and use g_binding_unbind() instead to be on the safe side.

A #GObject can have multiple bindings.

This function is the language bindings friendly version of g_object_bind_property_full(), using #GClosures instead of function pointers.

This is necessary for accessors that modify multiple properties to prevent premature notification while the object is still being modified.

The returned object's reference count is not incremented, so it is not necessarily valid after self is destroyed.

The value can be:

• an empty #GValue initialized by %G_VALUE_INIT, which will be automatically initialized with the expected type of the property (since GLib 2.60)
• a #GValue initialized with the expected type of the property
• a #GValue initialized with a type to which the expected type of the property can be transformed

In general, a copy is made of the property contents and the caller is responsible for freeing the memory by calling g_value_unset().

Note that g_object_get_property() is really intended for language bindings, g_object_get() is much more convenient for C programming.

When possible, eg. when signaling a property change from within the class that registered the property, you should use g_object_notify_by_pspec() instead.

Note that emission of the notify signal may be blocked with g_object_freeze_notify(). In this case, the signal emissions are queued and will be emitted (in reverse order) when g_object_thaw_notify() is called.

This function omits the property name lookup, hence it is faster than g_object_notify().

One way to avoid using g_object_notify() from within the class that registered the properties, and using g_object_notify_by_pspec() instead, is to store the GParamSpec used with g_object_class_install_property() inside a static array, e.g.:

  enum
  {
    PROP_0,
    PROP_FOO,
    PROP_LAST
  };

  static GParamSpec *properties[PROP_LAST];

  static void
  my_object_class_init (MyObjectClass *klass)
  {
    properties[PROP_FOO] = g_param_spec_int ("foo", "Foo", "The foo",
                                             0, 100,
                                             50,
                                             G_PARAM_READWRITE);
    g_object_class_install_property (gobject_class,
                                     PROP_FOO,
                                     properties[PROP_FOO]);
  }

and then notify a change on the "foo" property with:

  g_object_notify_by_pspec (self, properties[PROP_FOO]);

Since GLib 2.56, if GLIB_VERSION_MAX_ALLOWED is 2.56 or greater, the type of object will be propagated to the return type (using the GCC typeof() extension), so any casting the caller needs to do on the return type must be explicit.

In other words, if the object is floating, then this call "assumes ownership" of the floating reference, converting it to a normal reference by clearing the floating flag while leaving the reference count unchanged. If the object is not floating, then this call adds a new normal reference increasing the reference count by one.

Since GLib 2.56, the type of object will be propagated to the return type under the same conditions as for g_object_ref().

Methods that set the filters and other immutable state, such as tp_base_client_add_observer_filter(), cannot be called after this one.

This function should only be called from object system implementations.

If the object already had an association with that name, the old association will be destroyed.

Internally, the key is converted to a #GQuark using g_quark_from_string(). This means a copy of key is kept permanently (even after object has been finalized) — so it is recommended to only use a small, bounded set of values for key in your program, to avoid the #GQuark storage growing unbounded.

When receiving a request containing this hint, self will automatically delegate the channels to the preferred handler of the request and then call callback to inform the client that it is no longer handling those channels.

This method may only be called before tp_base_client_register() is called, and may only be called on objects whose class implements #TpBaseClientClass.handle_channels.

This method may only be called before tp_base_client_register() is called, and may only be called on objects whose class implements #TpBaseClientClass.handle_channels.

This is implemented by setting the value of the DelayApprovers D-Bus property.

This method may only be called before tp_base_client_register() is called, and may only be called on objects whose class implements #TpBaseClientClass.observe_channels.

Normally, Observers are only notified when new channels appear. If an Observer is set to recover, when it registers with tp_base_client_register(), it will also be told about any channels that already existed before it started.

For Observers that are activatable as a D-Bus service, if the Observer exits or crashes while there are any channels that match its filter, it will automatically be restarted by service-activation.

This method may only be called before tp_base_client_register() is called, and may only be called on objects whose class implements #TpBaseClientClass.observe_channels.

void
object_add_to_user_list (GObject     *object,
                         const gchar *new_string)
{
  // the quark, naming the object data
  GQuark quark_string_list = g_quark_from_static_string ("my-string-list");
  // retrieve the old string list
  GList *list = g_object_steal_qdata (object, quark_string_list);

  // prepend new string
  list = g_list_prepend (list, g_strdup (new_string));
  // this changed 'list', so we need to set it again
  g_object_set_qdata_full (object, quark_string_list, list, free_string_list);
}
static void
free_string_list (gpointer data)
{
  GList *node, *list = data;

  for (node = list; node; node = node->next)
    g_free (node->data);
  g_list_free (list);
}

Using g_object_get_qdata() in the above example, instead of g_object_steal_qdata() would have left the destroy function set, and thus the partial string list would have been freed upon g_object_set_qdata_full().

Duplicate notifications for each property are squashed so that at most one #GObject::notify signal is emitted for each property, in the reverse order in which they have been queued.

It is an error to call this function when the freeze count is zero.

If the pointer to the #GObject may be reused in future (for example, if it is an instance variable of another object), it is recommended to clear the pointer to %NULL rather than retain a dangling pointer to a potentially invalid #GObject instance. Use g_clear_object() for this.

If the object is not registered, this method may be called, but has no effect.

Releasing the last reference to the object also has the same effect as calling this method, but this method should be preferred, as it has more deterministic behaviour.

If the object still exists, tp_base_client_register() may be used to attempt to register it again.

When possible, eg. when signaling a property change from within the class that registered the property, you should use g_object_notify_by_pspec() instead.

Note that emission of the notify signal may be blocked with g_object_freeze_notify(). In this case, the signal emissions are queued and will be emitted (in reverse order) when g_object_thaw_notify() is called.
