Re: possible bug

[Harring Figueiredo <harringf yahoo com>]

 If you post your coded snipet it would help us find the problem.

 What do you mean by initializing ?

 foo(){
 gchar*  c =  "something" ;
}

  foo(){
  gchar* c = strdup("something");

}

 Both initialize, but have different memory context.

 Again, posting the code would help.
