Hi Christer, No particular reason - its just when I searched "Vector" and "HashTable" in Google, glib / GTK+ came up first. I tried using STL for insertions as well, but I came up with the same c_str() "addressing" problem. The issue seems to be that when I insert with a .c_str() into the hash table (both gtk's and STL's) it records the address(?). It seems like if I pass in a "string literal", it works. Is there some way, glib can convert variables into string literals? I do notice there is a "g_string(x)" macro but I'm not sure how to use it. Thank you. -Edward -----Original Message----- From: Christer Palm [mailto:palm@xxxxxxxx] Sent: Wednesday, April 14, 2004 3:32 AM To: edwardt Cc: gtk-list@xxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: GHashTable insertion problems (string literals, c_str(), etc.) Hi Edward! Is there a particular reason to why you, as a C++ programmer, want to use GTK+ and glib? IMHO, you should probably use STL and gtkmm. In that way you'd avoid many problems like this. edwardt wrote: > > Is there anyway I can store in / GHashTable takes in strings as **string > literals** ?
