Hello all, Yesterday I started reading the GLib documentation in-depth, and I was startled to find that the GLib core does not depend on the GObject system. So the string library, for example, is not reference-counted.
Furthermore, it appears that while the GLib type system (that is, the gobject library) provides an encapsulation method (GBoxed), it does not provide any kind of smart-pointer functionality. You can use a GBoxed string, or you can put a string in a GValue, but only GObjects have reference counts. So, 1) Please let me know if any of the foregoing is incorrect or misled. 2) Is there any (easy) way to fudge a smart-pointer in GLib?
