Sorry, I think you didn't get my point.


My question is that in a callback, where last parameter is an error, who
should be in charge of freeing that error? The callback caller? Or the
callback itself?

Here is an example:

static void
my_callback(..., GError *error)
{
  if (error) {
    g_print ("error: %s\n", error->message);
    /* Should I free error here? Or is a caller duty? */
  }
}

main()
{
  process_my_request(..., my_callback);
}
