Object

open class Object : ObjectProtocol

The base object type.

All the fields in the GObject structure are private to the implementation and should never be accessed directly.

The Object type acts as a reference-counted owner of an underlying GObject instance. It provides the methods that can operate on this data type through ObjectProtocol conformance. Use Object as a strong reference or owner of a GObject instance.

  • ptr
    Untyped pointer to the underlying `GObject` instance.
    

    For type-safe access, use the generated, typed pointer object_ptr property instead.

    Declaration

    Swift

    public let ptr: UnsafeMutableRawPointer!
  • Designated initialiser from the underlying C data type. This creates an instance without performing an unbalanced retain i.e., ownership is transferred to the Object instance.

    Declaration

    Swift

    @inlinable
    public init(_ op: UnsafeMutablePointer<GObject>)

    Parameters

    op

    pointer to the underlying object

  • Designated initialiser from a constant pointer to the underlying C data type. This creates an instance without performing an unbalanced retain i.e., ownership is transferred to the Object instance.

    Declaration

    Swift

    @inlinable
    public init(_ op: UnsafePointer<GObject>)

    Parameters

    op

    pointer to the underlying object

  • Optional initialiser from a non-mutating gpointer to the underlying C data type. This creates an instance without performing an unbalanced retain i.e., ownership is transferred to the Object instance.

    Declaration

    Swift

    @inlinable
    public init!(gpointer op: gpointer?)

    Parameters

    op

    gpointer to the underlying object

  • Optional initialiser from a non-mutating gconstpointer to the underlying C data type. This creates an instance without performing an unbalanced retain i.e., ownership is transferred to the Object instance.

    Declaration

    Swift

    @inlinable
    public init!(gconstpointer op: gconstpointer?)

    Parameters

    op

    pointer to the underlying object

  • Optional initialiser from a constant pointer to the underlying C data type. This creates an instance without performing an unbalanced retain i.e., ownership is transferred to the Object instance.

    Declaration

    Swift

    @inlinable
    public init!(_ op: UnsafePointer<GObject>?)

    Parameters

    op

    pointer to the underlying object

  • Optional initialiser from the underlying C data type. This creates an instance without performing an unbalanced retain i.e., ownership is transferred to the Object instance.

    Declaration

    Swift

    @inlinable
    public init!(_ op: UnsafeMutablePointer<GObject>?)

    Parameters

    op

    pointer to the underlying object

  • Designated initialiser from the underlying C data type. Will retain GObject. i.e., ownership is transferred to the Object instance.

    Declaration

    Swift

    @inlinable
    public init(retaining op: UnsafeMutablePointer<GObject>)

    Parameters

    op

    pointer to the underlying object

    public init<T>(_ other: T) where T : ObjectProtocol

    Parameters

    other

    an instance of a related type that implements ObjectProtocol
