GMenuModel is an abstract object which represents a menu.
GMenu is a simple implementation of GMenuModel and a child object of GMenuModel.

"app" is a prefix and "quit" is the name of an action.
The prefix means that the action belongs to GtkApplication.
If the menu is clicked, then the corresponding action "quit" which belongs to GtkApplication will be activated.

- 3-7: `quit_activated` is a handler of an action `act_quit`.
Handlers of actions have three parameters.
1. The action object which has emitted the signal.
- 3-8: `quit_activated` is a handler of the "activate" signal on the action `act_quit`.
Handlers of the "activate" signal have three parameters.
1. The action instance on which the signal is emitted.
2. Parameter.
In this example it is `NULL` because the second argument of `g_simple_action_new` (line 15) is `NULL`.
You don' t need to care about it.
3. User data.
It is the fourth parameter in the `g_signal_connect` (line 17) that has connected the action and the handler.
- 6: A function `g_application_quit` immediately quits the application.
- 9-33: `on_activate` is a handler of "activate" signal on GtkApplication.
- 11-13: Generates a GtkApplicationWindow and assigns a pointer to it to `win`. And sets the title and default size.
- 15: Generates GSimpleAction `act_quit`.
It is the fourth parameter in the `g_signal_connect` (line 18) that connects the action and the handler.
- 7: A function `g_application_quit` immediately quits the application.
- 10-34: `app_activate` is a handler of "activate" signal on the GtkApplication instance.
- 12-14: Creates a GtkApplicationWindow `win`. And sets the title and the default size.
- 16: Creates GSimpleAction `act_quit`.
It is stateless.
The first argument of `g_simple_action_new` is a name of the action and the second argument is a parameter.
If you don't need the parameter, pass `NULL`.
Therefore, `act_quit` has a name "quit" and no parameter.
- 16: Adds the action to GtkApplication `app`.
- 17: Adds the action to GtkApplication `app`.
GtkApplication implements an interface GActionMap and GActionGroup.
And GtkApplication can have a group of actions and actions are added by the function `g_action_map_add_action`.
This function is described in GMenuModel section in GIO API reference.
- 17: Connects "activate" signal of the action and the handler `quit_activated`.
- 19-22: Generates GMenu and GMenuItem.
GtkApplication (GActionMap) can have a group of actions and the actions are added with the function `g_action_map_add_action`.
This function is described in [GMenuModel section in GIO API reference](https://developer.gnome.org/gio/stable/GActionMap.html#g-action-map-add-action).
- 18: Connects "activate" signal of the action and the handler `quit_activated`.
- 20-23: Creates GMenu and GMenuItem instances.
`menubar` and `menu` are GMenu.
`menu_item_menu` and `menu_item_quit` are GMenuItem.
`menu_item_menu` has a label "Menu" and no action.
`menu_item_quit` has a label "Quit".
The second argument "app.quit" is a combination of "app" and "quit".
`menu_item_quit` has a label "Quit" and an action "app.quit".
The action "app.quit" is a combination of "app" and "quit".
"app" is a prefix and it means that the action belongs to GtkApplication. "quit" is the name of the action.
Therefore, it points the action which belongs to GtkApplication and has the name "quit" -- it is `act_quit`.
- 23-24: Appends `act_quit` to `menu`.
As I mentioned before, all the attribute and link values are copied and used to form a new item within `menu`.
Therefore after the appending, `menu` has a copy of `act_quit` in itself and `act_quit` is no longer needed.
Therefore, "app.quit" points the action which belongs to the GtkApplication instance and is named "quit".
- 24-25: Appends `menu_item_quit` to `menu`.
As I mentioned before, all the attributes and links are copied and used to form a new item in `menu`.
Therefore after the appending, `menu_item_quit` is no longer needed.
It is freed by `g_object_unref`.
- 25: Sets a submenu link to `menu_item_menu`.
And the link points the GMenu `menu`.
- 26-27: Appends `menu_item_menu` to `menubar`.
- 26: Sets the submenu link in `menu_item_menu` to point `menu`.
- 27-28: Appends `menu_item_menu` to `menubar`.
Then frees `menu_item_menu`.
GMenu and GMenuItem are connected and finally a menu is made up.
The structure of the menu is shown in the diagram below.
- 29: The menu is inserted to GtkApplication.
- 30: Sets GtkApplicationWindow to show the menubar.
- 31: Shows the window.
- 30: The menu is inserted to GtkApplication.
- 31: Sets GtkApplicationWindow to show the menubar.
