<p>
The macros in this section provide the varargs parsing support needed
in variadic GObject functions such as <a class="link" href="gobject-The-Base-Object-Type.html#g-object-new" title="g_object_new ()"><code class="function">g_object_new()</code></a> or <a class="link" href="gobject-The-Base-Object-Type.html#g-object-set" title="g_object_set ()"><code class="function">g_object_set()</code></a>.
They currently support the collection of integral types, floating point
types and pointers.

Collects a variable argument value from a va_list. We have to

<p>
Note: If you are creating the <em class="parameter"><code>value</code></em> argument just before calling this macro,
you should use the <a class="link" href="gobject-Varargs-Value-Collection.html#G-VALUE-COLLECT-INIT:CAPS" title="G_VALUE_COLLECT_INIT()"><span class="type">G_VALUE_COLLECT_INIT</span></a> variant and pass the unitialized
