 * 
 * A callback function used by the type system to initialize the class
 * of a specific type.
 *
 * This function should initialize all static class members.
 *
 * The initialization process of a class involves:
 * 
 * - Copying common members from the parent class over to the
 *   derived class structure.
 * - Zero initialization of the remaining members not copied
 *   over from the parent class.
 * - Invocation of the GBaseInitFunc() initializers of all parent
 *   types and the class' type.
 * - Invocation of the class' GClassInitFunc() initializer.
 *
 * Since derived classes are partially initialized through a memory copy
 * of the parent class, the general rule is that GBaseInitFunc() and
 * GBaseFinalizeFunc() should take care of necessary reinitialization
 * and release of those class members that were introduced by the type
 * that specified these GBaseInitFunc()/GBaseFinalizeFunc().
 * GClassInitFunc() should only care about initializing static
 * class members, while dynamic class members (such as allocated strings
 * or reference counted resources) are better handled by a GBaseInitFunc()
 * for this type, so proper initialization of the dynamic class members
 * is performed for class initialization of derived types as well.

 * ]|
 *
 * Initialization of TypeBClass will first cause initialization of
 * TypeAClass (derived classes reference their parent classes, see
 * g_type_class_ref() on this).
 *
 * Initialization of TypeAClass roughly involves zero-initializing its fields,
 * then calling its GBaseInitFunc() type_a_base_class_init() to allocate
 * its dynamic members (dynamic_string), and finally calling its GClassInitFunc()
 * type_a_class_init() to initialize its static members (static_integer).
 * The first step in the initialization process of TypeBClass is then
 * a plain memory copy of the contents of TypeAClass into TypeBClass and 
 * zero-initialization of the remaining fields in TypeBClass.
 * The dynamic members of TypeAClass within TypeBClass now need
 * reinitialization which is performed by calling type_a_base_class_init()
 * with an argument of TypeBClass.
 *
 * After that, the GBaseInitFunc() of TypeBClass, type_b_base_class_init()
 * is called to allocate the dynamic members of TypeBClass (dynamic_gstring),
 * and finally the GClassInitFunc() of TypeBClass, type_b_class_init(),
 * is called to complete the initialization process with the static members
 * (static_float).
 *
 * Corresponding finalization counter parts to the GBaseInitFunc() functions
 * have to be provided to release allocated resources at class finalization

 * 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

 * This function is responsible for storing the `value`

 *
 * #include <gtk/gtk.h>

 * This results in the following things happening:

 * - the usual `my_app_window_get_type()` function is declared with a return type of #GType
 *
 * - the `MyAppWindow` type is defined as a `typedef` of `struct _MyAppWindow`.  The struct itself is not

 *
 * - the `MY_APP_WINDOW()` cast is emitted as `static inline` function along with the `MY_APP_IS_WINDOW()` type

 *
 * - the `MyAppWindowClass` type is defined as a struct containing `GtkWindowClass`.  This is done for the
 *   convenience of the person defining the type and should not be considered to be part of the ABI.  In
 *   particular, without a firm declaration of the instance structure, it is not possible to subclass the type

 * 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

 * @OBJ_NAME: The bare name of the type, in all caps (like `WIDGET`)
 * @PrerequisiteName: the name of the prerequisite type, in camel case (like `GtkWidget`)
 *
 * A convenience macro for emitting the usual declarations in the header file for a #GInterface type.
 *
 * You might use it in a header as follows:
 *
 * |[<!-- language="C" -->
 * #ifndef _my_model_h_
 * #define _my_model_h_
 *
 * #define MY_TYPE_MODEL my_model_get_type ()
 * GDK_AVAILABLE_IN_3_12
 * G_DECLARE_INTERFACE (MyModel, my_model, MY, MODEL, GObject)
 *
 * struct _MyModelInterface
 * {
 *   GTypeInterface g_iface;
 *
 *   gpointer (* get_item)  (MyModel *model);
 * };
 *
 * gpointer my_model_get_item (MyModel *model);
 *
 * ...
 *
 * #endif
 * ]|
 *
 * And use it as follow in your C file:
 *
 * |[<!-- language="C" -->
 * G_DEFINE_INTERFACE (MyModel, my_model, G_TYPE_OBJECT);
 *
 * static void
 * my_model_default_init (MyModelInterface *iface)
 * {
 *   ...
 * }
 * ]|
 *
 * This results in the following things happening:
 *
 * - the usual `my_model_get_type()` function is declared with a return type of #GType
 *
 * - the `MyModelInterface` type is defined as a typedef to `struct _MyModelInterface`,
 *   which is left undefined. You should do this from the header file directly after
 *   you use the macro.
 *
 * - the `MY_MODEL()` cast is emitted as `static inline` functions along with
 *   the `MY_IS_MODEL()` type checking function and `MY_MODEL_GET_IFACE()` function.
 *
 * - g_autoptr() support being added for your type, based on your prerequisite type.
 *
 * You can only use this function if your prerequisite type also supports g_autoptr().
 *
 * Because the type macro (`MY_TYPE_MODEL` 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.
 *
 * Since: 2.44

 * G_DEFINE_BOXED_TYPE:

 *  separated by `_`
 * @copy_func: the #GBoxedCopyFunc for the new type
 * @free_func: the #GBoxedFreeFunc for the new type
 *
 * A convenience macro for defining a new custom boxed type. 
 *
 * Using this macro is the recommended way of defining new custom boxed
 * types, over calling g_boxed_type_register_static() directly. It defines 
 * a `type_name_get_type()` function which will return the newly defined
 * #GType, enabling lazy instantiation.
 *
 * You might start by putting declarations in a header as follows:
 *
 * |[<!-- language="C" -->
 * #define MY_TYPE_STRUCT my_struct_get_type ()
 * GType my_struct_get_type (void) G_GNUC_CONST;
 *
 * MyStruct *    my_struct_new (void);
 * void          my_struct_free (MyStruct *self);
 * MyStruct *    my_struct_copy (MyStruct *self);
 * ]|
 *
 * And then use this macro and define your implementation in the source file as
 * follows:
 *
 * |[<!-- language="C" --> 
 * MyStruct *
 * my_struct_new (void)
 * {
 *   // ... your code to allocate a new MyStruct ...
 * }
 *
 * void
 * my_struct_free (MyStruct *self)
 * {
 *   // ... your code to free a MyStruct ...
 * }
 *
 * MyStruct *
 * my_struct_copy (MyStruct *self)
 * {
 *   // ... your code return a newly allocated copy of a MyStruct ...
 * }
 *
 * G_DEFINE_BOXED_TYPE (MyStruct, my_struct, my_struct_copy, my_struct_free)
 *
 * void 
 * foo ()
 * {
 *   MyStruct *ms;
 *
 *   ms = my_struct_new ();
 *   // ... your code ...
 *   my_struct_free (ms);
 * }
 * ]|

 *                                register_rectangle_transform_funcs (g_define_type_id))
 * ]|
 *
 * Similarly to the `G_DEFINE_TYPE_*` family of macros, the #GType of the newly
