Re: GHashTable ( Missing something ?) (Found what was missing)

[Harring Figueiredo <harringf yahoo com>]

 The g_hash_table_insert resues the key - I was deleting it.

 The source code says that the key is "reused"..

 from ghash.c

   297       /* do not reset node->key in this place, keeping
    298        * the old key is the intended behaviour.
    299        * g_hash_table_replace() can be used instead.
    300        */
    301
    302       /* free the passed key */
    303       if (hash_table->key_destroy_func)


 The docs says:"

If the key already exists in the GHashTable its current value is replaced with
the new value.

 Perhaps I should file a doc. bug ?

  Thanks,

Harring.
