If you’re using the GLib reference on docs.gtk.org and you’re missing the documentation for various C pre-processor macros, you can now find it here:

- https://docs.gtk.org/glib/conversion-macros.html
- https://docs.gtk.org/glib/auto-cleanup.html

GLib’s API is fairly low level, and it’s hard to introspect completely as it is mainly meant to be consumed by C developers. Since the generated documentation is extracted from the introspection data, we need to use extra content files in order to represent it.

Thanks Emmanuele, having precise descriptions of those C macros is very useful for people working on GTK bindings.
