        If you have some string str1 which you need to free...

        char *str1;
        char *oldstr;

        /* Replace this with however str1 is allocated */
        str1 = g_strdup("Some random string");
        
        /* Save a copy */
        oldstr = str1;
        
        str1 = g_strstrip(str1);
        ...

        g_free(oldstr); /* str1 is now an invalid pointer */
        str1 = oldstr = NULL; /* sanity */
