55 * @short_description: Interface for settings backend implementations
56 * @include: gio/gsettingsbackend.h
57 * @see_also: #GSettings, #GIOExtensionPoint
59 * The #GSettingsBackend interface defines a generic interface for
60 * non-strictly-typed data that is stored in a hierarchy. To implement
61 * an alternative storage backend for #GSettings, you need to implement
62 * the #GSettingsBackend interface and then make it implement the
63 * extension point #G_SETTINGS_BACKEND_EXTENSION_POINT_NAME.
65 * The interface defines methods for reading and writing values, a
66 * method for determining if writing of certain values will fail
67 * (lockdown) and a change notification mechanism.
69 * The semantics of the interface are very precisely defined and
70 * implementations must carefully adhere to the expectations of
71 * callers that are documented on each of the interface methods.
73 * Some of the #GSettingsBackend functions accept or return a #GTree.
74 * These trees always have strings as keys and #GVariant as values.
75 * g_settings_backend_create_tree() is a convenience function to create
78 * The #GSettingsBackend API is exported to allow third-party
79 * implementations, but does not carry the same stability guarantees
80 * as the public GIO API. For this reason, you have to define the
81 * C preprocessor symbol %G_SETTINGS_ENABLE_BACKEND before including
82 * `gio/gsettingsbackend.h`.

209 * dispatching is as follows:
211 * 1) hold a thread-safe GWeakRef on the GSettings during an outstanding
212 * dispatch. This ensures that the delivery is always possible while
213 * the GSettings object is alive.
215 * 2) hold a weak reference on the GSettings at other times. This
216 * allows us to receive early notification of pending destruction
217 * of the object. At this point, it is still safe to obtain a
218 * reference on the GObject to keep it alive, so #1 will work up
219 * to that point. After that point, we'll have been able to drop
220 * the watch from the list.
222 * Note, in particular, that it's not possible to simply have an
223 * "unwatch" function that gets called from the finalize function of
224 * the GSettings instance because, by that point it is no longer
225 * possible to keep the object alive using g_object_ref() and we would
226 * have no way of knowing this.
228 * Note also that we need to hold a reference on the main context here
229 * since the GSettings instance may be finalized before the closure runs.
