Re: CList memory management with C++ ...

[John Schmerge <schmerge cyber com>]

I was under the impression that the append function only looked at the 1st n
array elems, where n is controled by the number of columns specified in the
gtk_clist_new function... I have been writing code passing non-null terminated
arrays to gtk_clist_append w/o problems... Is this a new specification as of
1.2.8 or 2.0? ...I am currently using 1.2.6 b/c of several company policies
currently in place, but anticipate a shift over to newer versions of gtk in the
near future.
