Re: Troubles with containers

Hi guys,
sorry but I'm not yet used to mailing lists :)
Now I'm reporting here what Michael Hasselmann sent me and what I
answered and asked ( I added the mailing list as cc. so that you can
read it ).


Well at the moment I solved it by getting all these variables as static.
Is it sick to get them as static variables? Should I get them as class-members?
Currently I've chosen for the first one since anything is
event-driven, hence, currently, I don't need to directly handle these
objects; anyway I'm just a beginner with gtkmm and then I'd like to be
advised.
Last, I've downloaded a simple gtkmm project from the ubuntu
repository, is called gip, here is the situation I found in all the
window's constructors :

GUIMainwindow::GUIMainwindow()
{
 VBox*     vbox     = new VBox;
 Notebook* notebook = new Notebook;
 /* using vbox and notebook withoute deleting */
}

He is not deleting vbox and notebook in this constructor since this
would lead to my same problem.
Anyway isn't this leading to memory leaks ? Or is gtkmm deleting them
( I don't think so ) ?
