What I don't understand is why you want to end up with a list or array
of GString.
gchar **names = g_strsplit(namelist, ",");
gchar **p;
for (p = names; *p; p++) {
GString *praise = g_string_new(*p);
g_string_append(praise, " is a great person);
g_printf("%s", praise->str);
g_string_free(praise);
}
g_strfreev(names);
Or whatever. If I *really* want a GList of GString, then:
gchar **names = g_strsplit(namelist, ",");
gchar **p;
GList *l = NULL;
for (p = names; *p; p++)
g_list_prepend(l, g_string_new(*p));
g_strfreev(names);
return g_list_reverse(l);
Isn't a lot of code; if it was a common operation, then sure
I'd get annoyed writing it over and over again. But unless you are
using GString as your string type (which I think is wrong), it
strikes me as quite rare.
