Freeing all memory on exit can be useful as a debugging exercise (e.g. if you get a segfault that tells you something), but aside from that it's a pure waste of CPU cycles. And the fact that so many shared library hackers have this view is the reason modern desktops need to ship with four gigs of RAM minimum and still can't stay up for more than a week.

Notebooks and page numbers
Reading the docs, it looks like every page of a notebook has a zero-based index number I can easily retrieve. It also look like there are ways to re-order the pages in a notebook which may, or may not, change the indexes of these pages. What are the rules as to how these pages are numbered and how those numbers can be altered? If I have four pages and the second one gets removed, do I now have pages with indexes 0, 1 and 2? Are there any situations where the numbers of these pages would be changed out from under me? Any guidance here would be great.

Are there situations where something internal to GTK will change this? To be more specific, if I'm interested in page 2 (and have that page number in a variable somewhere) and *I* don't make any changes to the page order, delete or add any pages, is it safe to assume it will *always* be page 2? It's not so hard a concept, and is the only way that makes any sense when you think about it from a development / implementation point of view. I'm don't recall saying it's hard, but the docs don't answer my specific questions. As for this being the only way that makes any sense, we'll see how hard I get shafted by it. Does GTK perhaps have another way to represent what most people call tabs in an application?

Do you have a handy link to where this would be documented or otherwise further explained? It sounds precisely like what I was looking for earlier but couldn't find (library.gnome.org is not so much with the working for me right now). For what it's worth, I'm not using Glade. Thanks!

Re: problem with compiling different C files with a global structure
Debmalya Sinha sunnywiz...@gmail.com writes: Hello, Though this might not be the place for this type of query, this problem I'm giving here is a simplest scale version of a problem when I am trying to split up a large gtk source code of mine. First... http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html Second... Every piece of your code that wants to fondle that global needs two things. It needs to know the structure's definition and it needs to know that the global exists. Does every piece of your code have access to this information? Are you getting compilation errors or linking errors? Which you are getting and where they are comming from will tell you precisely why your build is failing. Maybe you should hack out a minimal test-case with two .c files and one common header and see if your assumptions about how this works are correct. It will be easier for you to debug the problem if you boil it down. This *is* a very basic C question you should already know the answer to before you start playing with something like gtk. If your understanding of extern et al is sketchy, I can't imagine life being happier for you once you start getting into the pointers, callbacks and signal/event handling that forms the core of gtk.
