I've an function which takes one argument(object) and return some string(gchar *). Becouse it's getting read-only propertis[1]) it shouldn't be the same as in object. Should I: - Always allocate new gchar * and mark it as gchar *object_get(const Object *) G_GNUC_MALLOC; - Keep gchar * inside and mark it as const gchar *object_get(const Object *) G_GNUC_PURE; - Always allocate new gchar * and mark it as gchar *object_get(const Object *) G_GNUC_MALLOC G_GNUC_PURE;
I'm not quite sure, but I think second is dangerous (if user cast it into gchar and for example free it). Thirt, I think, could allocate more strings then will be released. Am I right? [1] I'd like to double: getting by properties and functions.
