Hello, I maybe didn't express myself well enough. I could understand that a reference to an object is taken in order to not have it disappearing (/destroyed). But what I actually meant to ask, is : what's the use of first adding a reference, (because that's what's happening in my eyes), for removing the reference /just the statement after/. Because that's what's happening in my understanding.
Beware : I'm not-too-GTK-familiar, so maybe (/probably) I misunderstand the meaning of it all.
