PointerInterface
A #GClosure represents a callback supplied by the programmer.
It will generally comprise a function of some kind and a marshaller
used to call it. It is the responsibility of the marshaller to
convert the arguments for the invocation from #GValues into
a suitable form, perform the callback on the converted arguments,
and transform the return value back into a #GValue.
In the case of C programs, a closure usually just holds a pointer
to a function and maybe a data argument, and the marshaller
converts between #GValue and native C types. The GObject
library provides the #GCClosure type for this purpose. Bindings for
other languages need marshallers which convert between #GValues
and suitable representations in the runtime of the language in
order to use functions written in that language as callbacks. Use
g_closure_set_marshal() to set the marshaller on such a custom
closure implementation.
Within GObject, closures play an important role in the
implementation of signals. When a signal is registered, the
@c_marshaller argument to g_signal_new() specifies the default C
marshaller for any closure which is connected to this
signal. GObject provides a number of C marshallers for this
purpose, see the g_cclosure_marshal_*() functions. Additional C
marshallers can be generated with the [glib-genmarshal][glib-genmarshal]
utility. Closures can be explicitly connected to signals with
g_signal_connect_closure(), but it usually more convenient to let
GObject create a closure automatically by using one of the
g_signal_connect_*() functions which take a callback function/user
data pair.
Using closures has a number of important advantages over a simple
callback function/data pointer combination:
- Closures allow the callee to get the types of the callback parameters,
which means that language bindings don't have to write individual glue
for each callback type.
- The reference counting of #GClosure makes it easy to handle reentrancy
right; if a callback is removed while it is being invoked, the closure
and its parameters won't be freed until the invocation finishes.
- g_closure_invalidate() and invalidation notifiers allow callbacks to be
automatically removed when the objects they point to go away.

newObjectClosure
A variant of g_closure_new_simple() which stores @object in the
@data field of the closure and calls g_object_watch_closure() on
@object and the created closure. This function is mainly useful
when implementing new types of closures.- Parameters:
sizeof_closure
- the size of the structure to allocate, must be at least `sizeof (GClosure)`object
- a #GObject pointer to store in the @data field of the newly allocated #GClosure- Returns:
- a newly allocated #GClosure
-
newSimpleClosure
Allocates a struct of the given size and initializes the initial
part as a #GClosure.
This function is mainly useful when implementing new types of closures:
<!-- language="C" --> typedef struct _MyClosure MyClosure; struct _MyClosure { GClosure closure; // extra data goes here }; static void my_closure_finalize (gpointer notify_data, GClosure *closure) { MyClosure *my_closure = (MyClosure *)closure; // free extra data here } MyClosure *my_closure_new (gpointer data) { GClosure *closure; MyClosure *my_closure; closure = g_closure_new_simple (sizeof (MyClosure), data); my_closure = (MyClosure *) closure; // initialize extra data here g_closure_add_finalize_notifier (closure, notify_data, my_closure_finalize); return my_closure; }
- Parameters:
sizeof_closure
- the size of the structure to allocate, must be at least `sizeof (GClosure)`data
- data to store in the @data field of the newly allocated #GClosure- Returns:
- a floating reference to a new #GClosure
-
addFinalizeNotifier
Registers a finalization notifier which will be called when the
reference count of @closure goes down to 0.
Multiple finalization notifiers on a single closure are invoked in
unspecified order. If a single call to g_closure_unref() results in
the closure being both invalidated and finalized, then the invalidate
notifiers will be run before the finalize notifiers.- Parameters:
notify_data
- data to pass to @notify_funcnotify_func
- the callback function to register
-
addInvalidateNotifier
public void addInvalidateNotifier(@Nullable Pointer notify_data, Closure.OnClosureNotify notify_func) Registers an invalidation notifier which will be called when the
@closure is invalidated with g_closure_invalidate().
Invalidation notifiers are invoked before finalization notifiers,
in an unspecified order.- Parameters:
notify_data
- data to pass to @notify_funcnotify_func
- the callback function to register
-
addMarshalGuards
public void addMarshalGuards(@Nullable Pointer pre_marshal_data, Closure.OnClosureNotify pre_marshal_notify, @Nullable Pointer post_marshal_data, Closure.OnClosureNotify post_marshal_notify) Adds a pair of notifiers which get invoked before and after the
closure callback, respectively.
This is typically used to protect the extra arguments for the
duration of the callback. See g_object_watch_closure() for an
example of marshal guards.- Parameters:
pre_marshal_data
- data to pass to @pre_marshal_notifypre_marshal_notify
- a function to call before the closure callbackpost_marshal_data
- data to pass to @post_marshal_notifypost_marshal_notify
- a function to call after the closure callback
-
invalidate
public void invalidate()Sets a flag on the closure to indicate that its calling
environment has become invalid, and thus causes any future
invocations of g_closure_invoke() on this @closure to be
ignored.
Also, invalidation notifiers installed on the closure will
be called at this point. Note that unless you are holding a
reference to the closure yourself, the invalidation notifiers may
unref the closure and cause it to be destroyed, so if you need to
access the closure after calling g_closure_invalidate(), make sure
that you've previously called g_closure_ref().
Note that g_closure_invalidate() will also be called when the
reference count of a closure drops to zero (unless it has already
been invalidated before). -
ref
Increments the reference count on a closure to force it staying
alive while the caller holds a pointer to it.- Returns:
- The @closure passed in, for convenience
-
removeFinalizeNotifier
public void removeFinalizeNotifier(@Nullable Pointer notify_data, Closure.OnClosureNotify notify_func) Removes a finalization notifier.
Notice that notifiers are automatically removed after they are run.- Parameters:
notify_data
- data which was passed to g_closure_add_finalize_notifier() when registering @notify_funcnotify_func
- the callback function to remove
-
removeInvalidateNotifier
public void removeInvalidateNotifier(@Nullable Pointer notify_data, Closure.OnClosureNotify notify_func) Removes an invalidation notifier.
Notice that notifiers are automatically removed after they are run.- Parameters:
notify_data
- data which was passed to g_closure_add_invalidate_notifier() when registering @notify_funcnotify_func
- the callback function to remove
-
sink
public void sink()Takes over the initial ownership of a closure.
Each closure is initially created in a "floating" state, which means
that the initial reference count is not owned by any caller.
This function checks to see if the object is still floating, and if so,
unsets the floating state and decreases the reference count. If the
closure is not floating, g_closure_sink() does nothing.
The reason for the existence of the floating state is to prevent
cumbersome code sequences like:
<!-- language="C" --> closure = g_cclosure_new (cb_func, cb_data); g_source_set_closure (source, closure); g_closure_unref (closure); // GObject doesn't really need this
Because g_source_set_closure() (and similar functions) take ownership of the
initial reference count, if it is unowned, we instead can write:
<!-- language="C" --> g_source_set_closure (source, g_cclosure_new (cb_func, cb_data));
Generally, this function is used together with g_closure_ref(). An example
of storing a closure for later notification looks like:
<!-- language="C" --> static GClosure *notify_closure = NULL; void foo_notify_set_closure (GClosure *closure) { if (notify_closure) g_closure_unref (notify_closure); notify_closure = closure; if (notify_closure) { g_closure_ref (notify_closure); g_closure_sink (notify_closure); } }
Because g_closure_sink() may decrement the reference count of a closure
(if it hasn't been called on @closure yet) just like g_closure_unref(),
g_closure_ref() should be called prior to this function. -
unref
public void unref()Decrements the reference count of a closure after it was previously
incremented by the same caller.
If no other callers are using the closure, then the closure will be
destroyed and freed. -
