GLib.VariantBuilder.clear

### Method

# GLib VariantBuilderclear

since: 2.24

#### Declaration

    void
    g_variant_builder_clear (
      GVariantBuilder* builder
    )

#### Description

Releases all memory associated with a `GVariantBuilder` without freeing the `GVariantBuilder` structure itself.

It typically only makes sense to do this on a stack-allocated `GVariantBuilder` if you want to abort building the value part-way through. This function need not be called if you call `g_variant_builder_end()` and it also doesn’t need to be called on builders allocated with `g_variant_builder_new()` (see `g_variant_builder_unref()` for that).

This function leaves the `GVariantBuilder` structure set to all-zeros. It is valid to call this function on either an initialised `GVariantBuilder` or one that is set to all-zeros but it is not valid to call this function on uninitialised memory.
