That would be qof-gobject.h. There's also qofgobj.[ch], which exports four 
functions, qof_gobject_init(), qof_gobject_shutdown(), 
qof_gobject_register(QofType, GobjectClass*), and qof_gobject_register_instance 
(QofBook*, QofType, GObject*). There aren't any references to those functions 
outside of those two files.

As for qof-gobject.h, exactly one of its macros (QOF_GOBJECT_IMPL) is used 6 
times in engine (and 4 of those are in tests) and once in qofbook.h. 
QOF_GOBJECT_GET_TYPE and QOF_GOBJECT_FINALIZE are used once each in 
qofinstance.c. The remainder are unused anywhere. In any case they're not 
candidates for unit tests regardless.

(QOF_GOBJECT_IMPL might be be useful to slightly reduce the drudgery of 
refactoring all of the modules to be proper Qof-derived GObject objects. As 
I've said before, I think that it would be more productive to refactor them 
into a proper OO language, but that proposal hasn't received the general 
acclamation that I'd hoped for.)
