This leads me to another question: how can I free (this is, completly deallocate) memory from my process using just Glib? > > In my opinion article publicated by osnews.com is unreliable because of > GLib's memory subsystem behavior. btw, are cario and pango based on GLib > too? Yes, from pango.org: "Pango depends on 2.x series of the GLib library; more information about GLib can be found at http://www.gtk.org/"; But I don't know about Cairo... _______________________________________________ gtk-app-devel-list mailing list gtk-app-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-app-devel-list
