Is there some equivalent of a > g_object_get_ref_count function that I just haven't spotted? Looking at an object's reference count is _generally_ a sign of doing something wrong [*]... after all, only some of the reference count represents references you own, other parts of the reference count reperesent references other people own. It's hard to say more without knowing what you are doing in detail. Regards, Owen [*] The one exception I'm aware of is that sometimes when writing language bindings, you want to explicitly catch: ----------------------\/ Language proxy object Gobject /\----------------------- cycles, which, if both sides are refcounted, can be detected as a refcount of 1 for both objects. _______________________________________________ gtk-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
