set_dispose_function
Description:
Set dispose
as dispose function on this.
dispose
will be called once the reference count of this reaches 0 but before any of the state
of the source is freed, especially before the finalize function is called.
This means that at this point this is still a valid
SignalSource and it is allow for the reference count to increase again until
dispose
returns.
The dispose function can be used to clear any "weak" references to the this in other data structures in a thread-safe way where it is possible for another thread to increase the reference count of this again while it is being freed.
The finalize function can not be used for this purpose as at that point this is already partially freed and not valid anymore.
This should only ever be called from SignalSource implementations.
Parameters:
this |
A SignalSource to set the dispose function on |
dispose |
SourceDisposeFunc to set on the source |
