Re: Use of Memory Slices in N-ary Trees

[Manu Kaul <manu kaul gmail com>]

Ok I understand that its using g_slice_new0, but does this mean that it does it just for a single GNode, one at a time?

What I was after was more like say being able to allocate 100 such GNodes at a time upfront if I had a tree with say 5000 nodes in it or something, so I am able to get a whole chunk of GNodes at the one time! 

Maybe I am misunderstanding something?

Yes, nodes are allocated using g_slice_new0(GNode) (unless you have
G_SLICE env variable set to "always-malloc").
