 /**
+ * g_autofree:
+ *
+ * Macro to add an attribute to pointer variable to ensure automatic
+ * cleanup using g_free().
+ *
+ * This macro differs from g_autoptr() in that it is an attribute supplied
+ * before the type name, rather than wrapping the type definition.  Instead
+ * of using a type-specific lookup, this macro always calls g_free() directly.
+ *
+ * This means it's useful for any type that is returned from
+ * g_malloc().
+ *
+ * Otherwise, this macro has similar constraints as g_autoptr() - only
+ * supported on GCC and clang, the variable must be initialized, etc.
