We should need at least a OwnPtr-like class for pointers and a ref ptr for gobjects. I can see two possibilities: modifying OwnPtr and RefPtr for our needs or add new classes. The first solution could be a bit tricky so I think we could add something like: template <typename T, freeFunction=g_free> class GOwnPtr : Noncopyable { ... }; typedef GOwnPtr<gchar*> GCharPtr; // most of the times we are dealing with chars template <typename T=GObject*> class GObjectPtr { ... }; What do you think? Before starting to write anything I would like to hear the opinion of people more expert than me on C++. 90267 1 marco.barisione 2008-09-05 08:08:44 -0700 *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 20483 ***
