## Constructor & Destructor Documentation

Glib::Variant< Glib::ustring >::Variant | ( |  | ) |

Default constructor.

Glib::Variant< Glib::ustring >::Variant | ( | GVariant< Glib::ustring >* | castitem,
|  | bool | take_a_reference = `false`
| ) |  | `[explicit]`

GVariant constructor.

Parameters:

  castitem | The GVariant to wrap.
  take_a_reference | Whether to take an extra reference of the GVariant or not (not taking one could destroy the GVariant with the wrapper).
