Making deep copies of glib structures

[Ariel Burbaickij mni fh-giessen de]

Hello mailing list participants,

Of the shelf  glib provides the capability of making "shallow" copies
only. Sometimes one want to do deep copies also , say of 1 or 2 level
of indirection (i.e. one stores just pointers or pointers to pointers
which in their part point to data structures or in case of pointers
to pointers to one less level of indirection). How one can manage such
a task with glib ? Outsketch of relevant functions (say for doubly-linked
list as "bearer" of whole construction ) will be appreciated. 

Yours sincerely
