Function to be called when starting a critical initialization
section. The argument @location must point to a static
0-initialized variable that will be set to a value other than 0 at
the end of the initialization section. In combination with
g_once_init_leave() and the unique address @value_location, it can
be ensured that an initialization section will be executed only once
during a program's life time, and that concurrent threads are
blocked until initialization completed. To be used in constructs
like this:
