28 * @short_description: Type loading modules
29 * @see_also: #GTypePlugin, #GModule
30 * @title: GTypeModule
32 * #GTypeModule provides a simple implementation of the #GTypePlugin
33 * interface. The model of #GTypeModule is a dynamically loaded module
34 * which implements some number of types and interface implementations.
35 * When the module is loaded, it registers its types and interfaces
36 * using g_type_module_register_type() and g_type_module_add_interface().
37 * As long as any instances of these types and interface implementations
38 * are in use, the module is kept loaded. When the types and interfaces
39 * are gone, the module may be unloaded. If the types and interfaces
40 * become used again, the module will be reloaded. Note that the last
41 * unref cannot happen in module code, since that would lead to the
42 * caller's code being unloaded before g_object_unref() returns to it.
44 * Keeping track of whether the module should be loaded or not is done by
45 * using a use count - it starts at zero, and whenever it is greater than
46 * zero, the module is loaded. The use count is maintained internally by
47 * the type system, but also can be explicitly controlled by
48 * g_type_module_use() and g_type_module_unuse(). Typically, when loading
49 * a module for the first type, g_type_module_use() will be used to load
50 * it so that it can initialize its types. At some later point, when the
51 * module no longer needs to be loaded except for the type
52 * implementations it contains, g_type_module_unuse() is called.
54 * #GTypeModule does not actually provide any implementation of module
55 * loading and unloading. To create a particular module type you must
56 * derive from #GTypeModule and implement the load and unload functions
57 * in #GTypeModuleClass.
