Description [src]
Returns a canonical representation for string. Interned strings
can be compared for equality by comparing the pointers, instead of
using strcmp(). g_intern_static_string() does not copy the string,
therefore string must not be freed or modified.
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++.
