GObject.Object.new
Description: Reference for GObject.Object.new

### Constructor

# GObject Objectnew

#### Declaration [src]

    GObject*
    g_object_new (
      GType object_type,
      const gchar* first_property_name,
      ...
    )

#### Description [src]

Creates a new instance of a `GObject` subtype and sets its properties.

Construction parameters (see `G_PARAM_CONSTRUCT`, `G_PARAM_CONSTRUCT_ONLY`) which are not explicitly specified are set to their default values. Any private data for the object is guaranteed to be initialized with zeros, as per g_type_create_instance().

Note that in C, small integer types in variable argument lists are promoted up to `gint` or `guint` as appropriate, and read back accordingly. `gint` is 32 bits on every platform on which GLib is currently supported. This means that you can use C expressions of type `gint` with `g_object_new()` and properties of type `gint` or `guint` or smaller. Specifically, you can use integer literals with these property types.

When using property types of `gint64` or `guint64`, you must ensure that the value that you provide is 64 bit. This means that you should use a cast or make use of the `G_GINT64_CONSTANT` or `G_GUINT64_CONSTANT` macros.

Similarly, `gfloat` is promoted to `gdouble`, so you must ensure that the value you provide is a `gdouble`, even for a property of type `gfloat`.

Since GLib 2.72, all `GObjects` are guaranteed to be aligned to at least the alignment of the largest basic GLib type (typically this is `guint64` or `gdouble`). If you need larger alignment for an element in a `GObject`, you should allocate it on the heap (aligned), or arrange for your `GObject` to be appropriately padded.

This constructor is not directly available to language bindings.

#### Parameters

`object_type`

  Type: `GType`

  The type id of the `GObject` subtype to instantiate.

`first_property_name`

  Type: `const gchar*`

  The name of the first property.

  The data is owned by the caller of the function.
  The value is a NUL terminated UTF-8 string.

`...`

  Type: ``

  The value of the first property, followed optionally by more name/value pairs, followed by `NULL`.

#### Return value

Type: `GObject`

A new instance of `object_type`.

The caller of the function takes ownership of the data, and is responsible for freeing it.
