internStaticString

fun internStaticString(string: String? = null): String

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++.
