 * {
 * // Extra class init function.
 * static void my_extra_class_init_function(void* g_class, void* class_data)

 * // Extra instance init function.
 * static void my_instance_init_function(GTypeInstance* instance, void* g_class)
 * {
 *   g_return_if_fail(GTK_IS_WIDGET(instance));
 *
 *   // Nothing to do here.
 *   // This extra instance init function just shows how such a function can
 *   // be added to a custom widget, if necessary.
 * }
 * } // extern "C"

 *   m_css_name(css_name)
 *   { }
 *
 * private:
 *   Glib::ustring m_css_name;
 * };
 *
 * class MyWidget : public MyExtraInit, public Gtk::Widget
 * {
 * public:
 *   MyWidget()
 *   :

 *   Glib::ObjectBase("MyWidget"), // Unique class name

 * @endcode
 *
 * The callback functions (my_extra_class_init_function() and my_instance_init_function()
 * in the example) are called from GLib (a C library). They shall have C linkage.
 * (Many compilers accept callback functions with C++ linkage, but such a program
 * has undefined behavior.)
 *
 * If you want the functions with C linkage to have internal linkage, they must
 * be declared 'static', even if they are defined in an anonymous namespace.
 * The compiler respects namespace declarations of functions with C linkage,
 * but the linker does not.

 * @note Classes derived from %ExtraClassInit (MyExtraInit in the example)
 * must be listed before Glib::Object or a class derived from
 * %Glib::Object (Gtk::Widget in the example) in the list of base classes.
