### Method

# GObject Closure invalidate

#### Declaration

    void
    g_closure_invalidate (
      GClosure* closure
    )

#### Description

Sets a flag on the closure to indicate that its calling environment has become invalid, and thus causes any future invocations of `g_closure_invoke()` on this `closure` to be ignored.

Also, invalidation notifiers installed on the closure will be called at this point. Note that unless you are holding a reference to the closure yourself, the invalidation notifiers may unref the closure and cause it to be destroyed, so if you need to access the closure after calling g_closure_invalidate(), make sure that you’ve previously called g_closure_ref().

Note that `g_closure_invalidate()` will also be called when the reference count of a closure drops to zero (unless it has already been invalidated before).
