In ewl we are using _destroy() as the opposite of _new(). I think the _free() name can be misleading, because it's sounds like it's only going to free the memory, where as _destroy() describes what it really does, it calls the destructor. That can be more then freeing memory. Like destroying child objects, freeing or closing other resources, etc. Peter ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ enlightenment-devel mailing list enlightenment-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/enlightenment-devel
