not by default, as adding a pointer to GObject would break ABI and would
probably collide with similarly named members of subclasses, not to tell
the waste of a sizeof(gpointer) even for classes without a private data
structure.
you have to add a pointer to the private data structure in your own
subclass:
typedef struct _YourFoo YourFoo;
typedef struct _YourFooPrivate YourFooPrivate;
typedef struct _YourFooClass YourFooClass;
struct _YourFoo
{
GObject parent_instance;
YourFooPrivate *priv;
};
and initialise it in the _init function:
static void
your_foo_init (YourFoo *foo)
{
YourFooPrivate *priv;
foo->priv = priv = YOUR_FOO_GET_PRIVATE (foo);
}
and then you can use foo->priv to access the private data structure from
any part of your program where YourFooPrivate is actually defined.
