- * The binding will automatically be removed when either the source or the
- * target instance is deleted. To remove the binding without affecting the
- * source and the target you can call unbind() on the returned Binding instance.
+ * The binding between the properties is broken when the Glib::Binding loses
+ * its last Glib::RefPtr, either source/target Glib::ObjectBase is deleted,
+ * or unbind() is called. If a Glib::RefPtr to the Glib::Binding remains
+ * after the binding is broken another way, then get_source() and get_target()
+ * return an empty Glib::RefPtr. So, you must keep a Glib::RefPtr to the
+ * Glib::Binding for as long as you want to bind, but that alone does not
+ * necessarily mean the binding between properties itself is still active.
*
* A Glib::ObjectBase instance can have multiple bindings.
