/**
 * SECTION:gstminiobject
 * @title: GstMiniObject
 * @short_description: Lightweight base class for the GStreamer object hierarchy
 *
 * #GstMiniObject is a simple structure that can be used to implement refcounted
 * types.
 *
 * Subclasses will include #GstMiniObject as the first member in their structure
 * and then call gst_mini_object_init() to initialize the #GstMiniObject fields.
 *
 * gst_mini_object_ref() and gst_mini_object_unref() increment and decrement the
 * refcount respectively. When the refcount of a mini-object reaches 0, the
 * dispose function is called first and when this returns %TRUE, the free
 * function of the miniobject is called.
 *
 * A copy can be made with gst_mini_object_copy().
 *
 * gst_mini_object_is_writable() will return %TRUE when the refcount of the
 * object is exactly 1 and there is no parent or a single parent exists and is
 * writable itself, meaning the current caller has the only reference to the
 * object. gst_mini_object_make_writable() will return a writable version of
 * the object, which might be a new copy when the refcount was not 1.
 *
 * Opaque data can be associated with a #GstMiniObject with
 * gst_mini_object_set_qdata() and gst_mini_object_get_qdata(). The data is
 * meant to be specific to the particular object and is not automatically copied
 * with gst_mini_object_copy() or similar methods.
 *
 * A weak reference can be added and remove with gst_mini_object_weak_ref()
 * and gst_mini_object_weak_unref() respectively.
