 * @instance_align: The required alignment of the object.  If @instance_align

 *   for initializing its own members.
 * @instance_post_init: This function is called to finish initialization of

 * @class_size: The size of the class object (derivative of #ObjectClass)

 *   assumed to be the size of the parent class.  This allows a type to avoid
 *   implementing an explicit class type if they are not adding additional
 *   virtual functions.
 * @class_init: This function is called after all parent class initialization
 *   has occurred to allow a class to set its default virtual method pointers.
 *   This is also the function to use to override virtual methods from a parent
 *   class.
 * @class_base_init: This function is called for all base classes after all
 *   parent class initialization has occurred, but before the class itself
 *   is initialized.  This is the function to use to undo the effects of
 *   memcpy from the parent class to the descendants.
 * @class_data: Data to pass to the @class_init,
 *   @class_base_init. This can be useful when building dynamic
 *   classes.
