/**
 * SECTION:gbinding
 * @Title: GBinding
 * @Short_Description: Bind two object properties
 *
 * #GBinding is the representation of a binding between a property on a
 * #GObject instance (or source) and another property on another #GObject
 * instance (or target). Whenever the source property changes, the same
 * value is applied to the target property; for instance, the following
 * binding:
 *
 * |[<!-- language="C" --> 
 *   g_object_bind_property (object1, "property-a",
 *                           object2, "property-b",
 *                           G_BINDING_DEFAULT);
 * ]|
 *
 * will cause the property named "property-b" of @object2 to be updated
 * every time g_object_set() or the specific accessor changes the value of
 * the property "property-a" of @object1.
 *
 * It is possible to create a bidirectional binding between two properties
 * of two #GObject instances, so that if either property changes, the
 * other is updated as well, for instance:
 *
 * |[<!-- language="C" --> 
 *   g_object_bind_property (object1, "property-a",
 *                           object2, "property-b",
 *                           G_BINDING_BIDIRECTIONAL);
 * ]|
 *
 * will keep the two properties in sync.
 *
 * It is also possible to set a custom transformation function (in both
 * directions, in case of a bidirectional binding) to apply a custom
 * transformation from the source value to the target value before
 * applying it; for instance, the following binding:
 *
 * |[<!-- language="C" --> 
 *   g_object_bind_property_full (adjustment1, "value",
 *                                adjustment2, "value",
 *                                G_BINDING_BIDIRECTIONAL,
 *                                celsius_to_fahrenheit,
 *                                fahrenheit_to_celsius,
 *                                NULL, NULL);
 * ]|
 *
 * will keep the "value" property of the two adjustments in sync; the
 * @celsius_to_fahrenheit function will be called whenever the "value"
 * property of @adjustment1 changes and will transform the current value
 * of the property before applying it to the "value" property of @adjustment2.
 *
 * Vice versa, the @fahrenheit_to_celsius function will be called whenever
 * the "value" property of @adjustment2 changes, and will transform the
 * current value of the property before applying it to the "value" property
 * of @adjustment1.
 *
 * Note that #GBinding does not resolve cycles by itself; a cycle like
 *
 * |[
 *   object1:propertyA -> object2:propertyB
 *   object2:propertyB -> object3:propertyC
 *   object3:propertyC -> object1:propertyA
 * ]|
 *
 * might lead to an infinite loop. The loop, in this particular case,
 * can be avoided if the objects emit the #GObject::notify signal only
 * if the value has effectively been changed. A binding is implemented
 * using the #GObject::notify signal, so it is susceptible to all the
 * various ways of blocking a signal emission, like g_signal_stop_emission()
 * or g_signal_handler_block().
 *
 * A binding will be severed, and the resources it allocates freed, whenever
 * either one of the #GObject instances it refers to are finalized, or when
 * the #GBinding instance loses its last reference.
 *
 * Bindings for languages with garbage collection can use
 * g_binding_unbind() to explicitly release a binding between the source
 * and target properties, instead of relying on the last reference on the
 * binding, source, and target instances to drop.
 *
 * #GBinding is available since GObject 2.26

/**
 * g_object_bind_property_with_closures: (rename-to g_object_bind_property_full)
 * @source: (type GObject.Object): the source #GObject
 * @source_property: the property on @source to bind
 * @target: (type GObject.Object): the target #GObject
 * @target_property: the property on @target to bind
 * @flags: flags to pass to #GBinding
 * @transform_to: a #GClosure wrapping the transformation function
 *     from the @source to the @target, or %NULL to use the default
 * @transform_from: a #GClosure wrapping the transformation function
 *     from the @target to the @source, or %NULL to use the default
 *
 * Creates a binding between @source_property on @source and @target_property
 * on @target, allowing you to set the transformation functions to be used by
 * the binding.
 *
 * This function is the language bindings friendly version of
 * g_object_bind_property_full(), using #GClosures instead of
 * function pointers.
 *
 * Returns: (transfer none): the #GBinding instance representing the
 *     binding between the two #GObject instances. The binding is released
 *     whenever the #GBinding reference count reaches zero.
 *
 * Since: 2.26
