Sorry, I don't understand what you mean.

gdome_str_unref() will call the unref function provided by the 
gdome_str_mkref*() functions.

If you use gdome_str_mkref(), no free() on ptr->str.

If you use gdome_str_mkref_own() or gdome_str_mkref_dup(), g_free( ptr->str ) 
will be used.

If you use gdome_str_mkref_xml(), xmlFree( ptr->str ) will be used.


Yes, they're different because libxml and glib uses different allocator and if 
you misuse them you can get things like double-free or memory leaks.
