Re: gtk_tree_model_get() --> when to free results???

[Stefan Kost <ensonic hora-obscura de>]

Hi Olivier,

I am afraid this report is invalid. It is common behaviour in glib/gobject based 
applications that when returning data
* gobjects are reffed and need to be unreffed when done
* strings are strdup'ed and should be freed (unless they are marked as const)
such can't be done for pointers as they are opaque to the system.
