How can I see what the current reference count is, so I can be sure I'm using g_object_ref() and g_object_unref() correctly?
You can check G_OBJECT (object)->ref_count, note that it is fundementally wrong to do any conditional code based on this (for the same reason you cant check if any free'd memory is actually free'd) but it may help you debug. Also, there is a debugging mechanism built into GObject, I've seen traces in the code suggesting that. You can set an object to have its reference count watched (see gobject.c I guess to try to work with that), otherwise, you might want to simply: (gdb) watch ((GObject *)object)->ref_count Many a time have I found myself trying to balance out these references and finding my error (a typical error is to overlook the incremented reference on an object obtained through `g_object_get ("name", &object, NULL);' ).
