location of a datalist
the GQuark identifying a data element
the old value to compare against
the new value to replace it with
destroy notify for the new value
destroy notify for the existing value
TRUE if the existing value for key_id was replaced by newval, FALSE otherwise.
2.34
Compares the member that is associated with key_id in datalist to oldval, and if they are the same, replace oldval with newval.
This is like a typical atomic compare-and-exchange operation, for a member of datalist.
If the previous value was replaced then ownership of the old value (oldval) is passed to the caller, including the registered destroy notify for it (passed out in old_destroy). Its up to the caller to free this as he wishes, which may or may not include using old_destroy as sometimes replacement should not destroy the object in the normal way.
