I can't see what possible use this function has: /** * gda_value_stringify * @value: a #GValue. * * Converts a GValue to its string representation which is a human readable value. Note that the * returned string does not take into account the current locale of the user (on the contrary to the * #GdaDataHandler objects). * * Dates are converted in a YYYY-MM-DD format. * * Returns: a new string, or %NULL if the conversion cannot be done. Free the value with a g_free() when you've finished * using it. */ It says that string is meant to be human-readable, but it ignores the current locale, and it makes assumptions about the numeric formatting wanted. So it's no use for actually showing to a human. I suggest that it be marked as "useful only for debugging, and not for showing values in your user interface." > Meanwhile, i made a function wich does the same BUT it uses a static > buffer for the return and the format is parametrizable.
