[g-a-devel]atk table interface problem

[Bolian Yin <bolian yin sun com>]

Hi Bill,

I have a question about | get_selected_columns | in atktable interface, 
which has prototype:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
gint              (* get_selected_columns)     (AtkTable      *table,
                                                 gint          **selected);
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In at-spi,  the function is used like this:

---------------------------------
 gint *selectedColumns;
 ....
 length = atk_table_get_selected_columns (table, &selectedColumns);
 g_free ((gpointer) selectedColumns);
-----------------------------------

So I know, the implementation side of |get_selected_columns|, is 
reposible to malloc the memory, and user side free it.
My question is,  the implementation provider may not use matching mem 
new/delete methods with glib (e.g. in Mozilla will not use).  In this 
case, g_free may cause problem.

What about your point about this?

Thanks,
