Source.addChildSource

Adds @child_source to @source as a "polled" source; when @source is added to a #GMainContext, @child_source will be automatically added with the same priority, when @child_source is triggered, it will cause @source to dispatch (in addition to calling its own callback), and when @source is destroyed, it will destroy @child_source as well. (@source will also still be dispatched if its own prepare/check functions indicate that it is ready.)

If you don't need @child_source to do anything on its own when it triggers, you can call g_source_set_dummy_callback() on it to set a callback that does nothing (except return %TRUE if appropriate).

@source will hold a reference on @child_source while @child_source is attached to it.

This API is only intended to be used by implementations of #GSource. Do not call this API on a #GSource that you did not create.
