Normally they are, though it's just an informal convention. It's easy for us to
workaround when they differ, by hand-coding the implementation in our .ccg
file, using the _CONSTRUCT() macro, as you'll see in many gtkmm .ccg files.

You can look at the implementation of the _new() functions, looking for the
call to g_object_new(). But when they do much more than call g_object_new()
then that's a bug in the C library. For instance:

I suggest that you close this bug unless you have a problem with a specific C
function. So far it's unlikely to make much sense to the gstreamer developers.
