Then glib is not the right tool. Just use the standard STL types vector 
and hashtable.

This is a basic C++ programming issue, so you would probably be better 
off looking for answers elsewhere, but if I understand you correcly you 
should probably just do something like:

vector<string> v;
string s;

s = "foo";
v.push_back(s);
s = "bar";
v.push_back(s);
