Yes, an argument to the collect_value() function of the GTypeValueTable.  Documented in the "Varargs Value Collection" page[1]; you almost certainly don't need to implement it.

Indeed, you almost certainly don't need to implement your own fundamental GValue types; what exactly are you trying to do here?

Thanks Ed. I just wanted to know how GValue works. Again thanks.
