Hi all, sorry if it's a FAQ but, searching the archives, I couldn't find any helpful pointers. When calling g_object_unref(), refcount is decremented. If it reaches 0, GObjectClass->finalize(Gobject *) is called. And that's a damn good thing ;) If I subclass GObject with a class containg dynamically allocated instance vars, I will need to provide my own finalize() to get rid of them, and chain the call to "GObjectClass->finalize()". The question is how to provide my own instance finalizer and register it... Thank you -- Cedric _______________________________________________ gtk-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
