GTypePlugin — An interface for dynamically loadable types
GTypeModule — Type loading modules
GObject — The base object type
Enums and Flags — Enumeration and flags types
GBoxed — A mechanism to wrap opaque C structures registered by the type system
Generic Values — A polymorphic type that can hold values of any other type
Parameters and Values — Standard Parameter and Value Types
Varargs Value Collection — Converting varargs to generic values
GParamSpec — Metadata for parameter specifications
Signals — A means for customization of object behaviour and a general purpose notification mechanism
Closures — Functions as first-class objects
Value arrays — A container structure to maintain an array of generic values
