Comment 3 Sebastian Dröge (slomo) 2016-04-27 07:44:59 UTC 
I'm not 100% sure if this is the cleanest way though, GType is registered as a pointer type: https://git.gnome.org/browse/glib/tree/gobject/gvaluetypes.c#n1171

So collection from varargs functions for example would go through v_pointer anyway.


Should GType be registered as a new fundamental type? Should there be a uintptr fundamental type?
