Re: [PATCH] [RFC] Add g_*_deinit() API

[David Zeuthen <zeuthen gmail com>]

Hi,

This bug

 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=627423

is an attempt at making GLib valgrind friendly. It actually makes the
minimal GType program e.g.

 int main (int argc, char *argv[])
 {
   g_type_init ();
   g_mem_shutdown();
 }

not leak any memory. The idea is that we can use this in test cases
and automatically catch memory leaks that way. There's also links to
other related bugs in that bug (thanks mclasen for doing this). FWIW,
I haven't had time to work on this... not because I don't think it's
interesting or necessary - just that I've been busy with other stuff.

HTH,
David
