Quark.quarkFromStaticString

Gets the #GQuark identifying the given (static) string. If the string does not currently have an associated #GQuark, a new #GQuark is created, linked to the given string.

Note that this function is identical to g_quark_from_string() except that if a new #GQuark is created the string itself is used rather than a copy. This saves memory, but can only be used if the string will continue to exist until the program terminates. It can be used with statically allocated strings in the main program, but not with statically allocated memory in dynamically loaded modules, if you expect to ever unload the module again (e.g. do not use this function in GTK+ theme engines).

This function must not be used before library constructors have finished running. In particular, this means it cannot be used to initialize global variables in C++.
