- nm_clear_g_object() is like g_clear_object() but:
- it returns a boolean value, indicating that something was cleared.
- it includes an nm_assert() to check that the pointer is still
valid.
- it uses typeof() instead of blindly casting the argument.
- nm_g_object_ref_set() combines nm_clear_g_object() and resetting
the pointer to a new object, including taking a reference.
- also returns a boolean, indicating whether something changed.
- it gets the order of operations right: first it increses the
ref-count, before unrefing the old object.
- like nm_clear_g_object() and nm_clear_g_free() it first sets
the destination to NULL, instead of leaving a dangling pointer
for the duraction of the unref/free call.
- fix nm_clear_g_free() not to use a possibly dangling pointer.
Striclty speaking, that is undefined behavior.
