a string to identify the GMemChunk. It is not copied so it should be valid for the lifetime of the GMemChunk. It is only used in g_mem_chunk_print(), which is used for debugging.
the size, in bytes, of each element in the GMemChunk.
the size, in bytes, of each block of memory allocated to contain the atoms.
the type of the GMemChunk. G_ALLOC_AND_FREE is used if the atoms will be freed individually. G_ALLOC_ONLY should be used if atoms will never be freed individually. G_ALLOC_ONLY is quicker, since it does not need to track free atoms, but it obviously wastes memory if you no longer need many of the atoms.
ConstructionException GTK+ fails to create the object.
Warning g_mem_chunk_new has been deprecated since version 2.10 and should not be used in newly-written code. Use the slice allocator instead Creates a new GMemChunk.
