GList

[Tristan Sloughter <kungfooguru gmail com>]

I am using GLists and want to make sure I am freeing all the memory, and 
not twice or course.

There are three possible functions for removing an element from the list:

g_list_remove (GList *list, gconstpointer data);
g_list_remove_link (GList *list, GList *llink);
g_list_delete_link (GList *list, GList *link_);

typedef struct {
 gpointer data;
 GList *next;
 GList *prev;
} GList;

So, I want to be sure that /gpointer data/ is freed when I remove the 
element from the list. If I call/ g_list_remove(...)/ will that take 
care of freeing data? If so should I use glib allocating functions for 
allocating the memory that /data/ points to, since it'll probably use 
/g_free/ to free the /data/, or does it matter?

What is the difference between /remove_link/ and /delete_link/? If I 
used /remove_link (...)/ I assume I'd have to free the memory pointed to 
by /data/ on my own, that being the difference between /remove/ and 
/remove_link/.

Thanks in advance,
Tristan
