How do I make a text view scroll to the end of the buffer automatically ?
Why are types not registered if I use their <literal>GTK_TYPE_BLAH;</literal> macro ?

<para>
The "insert" <link linkend="GtkTextMark">mark</link> marks the insertion point
where <link linkend="gtk-text-buffer-insert">gtk_text_buffer_insert()</link>
inserts new text into the buffer. The text is inserted
<emphasis>before</emphasis> the "insert" mark, so that it generally stays
at the end of the buffer. If it gets explicitly moved to some other position,
e.g. when the user selects some text,
use <link linkend="gtk-text-buffer-move-mark">gtk_text_buffer_move_mark()</link>
to set it to the desired location before inserting more text.
The "insert" mark of a buffer can be obtained with <link
linkend="gtk-text-buffer-get-insert">gtk_text_buffer_get_insert()</link>.
The <literal>GTK_TYPE_BLAH</literal> macros are defined as calls to
<literal>gtk_blah_get_type()</literal>, and the <literal>_get_type()</literal> functions
are declared as <literal>G_GNUC_CONST</literal> which allows the compiler to optimize
the call away if it appears that the value is not being used.
</para>
<para>
To ensure that the end of the buffer remains visible, use
<link
linkend="gtk-text-view-scroll-to-mark">gtk_text_view_scroll_to_mark()</link> to scroll to the "insert" mark after inserting new text.
<para>
A common workaround for this problem is to store the result in a volatile variable,
which keeps the compiler from optimizing the call away.

volatile GType dummy = GTK_TYPE_BLAH;
