g_variant_get_child(): flatten-first logic on '&' (1.18 KB, patch)

Description Allison Karlitskaya (desrt) 2015-09-21 20:57:50 UTC 
Copy the flatten-first logic from g_variant_get(), and for the same
reason: if the user is requesting a direct pointer access to a
tree-based child inside of argument to this function then that child
could disappear later.

Forcing serialisation means that the pointer will remain valid as long
as the passed-in instance exists, which is the usual expectation with
GVariant API.
