⚠️ Deprecated ⚠️

This is deprecated since version 2.32.

Use GArray instead, if possible for the given use case, as described above.

A GValueArray is a container structure to hold an array of generic values.

The prime purpose of a GValueArray is for it to be used as an object property that holds an array of values. A GValueArray wraps an array of GValue elements in order for it to be used as a boxed type through G_TYPE_VALUE_ARRAY.

GValueArray is deprecated in favour of GArray since GLib 2.32. It is possible to create a GArray that behaves like a GValueArray by using the size of GValue as the element size, and by setting method@GObject.Value.unset as the clear function using func@GLib.Array.set_clear_func, for instance, the following code:

GValueArray *array = g_value_array_new (10);

can be replaced by:

GArray *array = g_array_sized_new (FALSE, TRUE, sizeof (GValue), 10);
g_array_set_clear_func (array, (GDestroyNotify) g_value_unset);
