Removes the source with the given id from the default main context.
The id of a SocketSource is given by
get_id, or will be returned by the functions
attach, g_idle_add,
add_full, g_timeout_add, add_full, g_child_watch_add
, add_full,
add_watch, and add_watch_full.
See also destroy. You must use destroy for sources added to a non-default main context.
It is a programmer error to attempt to remove a non-existent source.
More specifically: source IDs can be reissued after a source has been destroyed and therefore it is never valid to use this function with
a source ID which may have already been removed. An example is when scheduling an idle to run in another thread with g_idle_add
: the idle may already have run and been removed by the time this function is called on its (now invalid) source ID. This source ID
may have been reissued, leading to the operation being performed against the wrong source.
