I am trying to writing a network server using gio, gobject-introspection
and gjs. I am using the Gio async calls such as g_input_stream_read_async.
I have managed to map the "void *buffer" to an array. However I do not
believe this is safe because g_input_stream_read_async does not ref the
buffer. If the caller does not keep a reference to the array / buffer
it could be free'd before the async call returns which might write over
something.
It seemed like I might be able to add a variation of
g_input_stream_read_async that took a GBytes instead of a void*.
Howerver GBytes is supposed to be immutable. That kindof confuses me
because I see no reason why it must be that way.
My question (and sorry it took so long to get to it) ...
Why is GBytes documented as being immutable?
