Re: [gnome-love] New file selector?

[Jeramy Rutley <jrutley gmail com>]

Thanks for that.
I now have another memory-related question.

I'm just wondering how to safely remove things out of a GSList without
having a memory leak.  I didn't find the documentation explicit.

So I have a block of code that looks like this:
GSList *gslist;

fileRequ = gtk_file_chooser_dialog_new(big list of options);
gtk_file_chooser_set_select_multiple ((GtkFileChooser *)fileRequ, TRUE);

g_signal_connect(GTK_FILE_CHOOSER (fileRequ), "destroy",
(GtkSignalFunc)fileSelDialogDestroyed, &fileRequ);

gtk_dialog_run(GTK_DIALOG(fileRequ);

/* here's where my question actually begins */
gslist = gtk_file_chooser_get_filenames(GTK_FILE_CHOOSER(fileRequ));
while(gslist)
{
   printf("%s\n",(char *)gslist->data);
   g_free(gslist->data);
   list = g_slist_remove(gslist, gslist->data);
}
g_slist_free(gslist);
gtk_widget_destroy(fileRequ);

What I want to do is remove an element off of the front of the GSList,
use it, and then free it.
In the code above, does the g_slist_remove free the list element, or
do I need to do a g_free on each individual element?  According to the
gtk_file_chooser_get_filenames documentation, it says that the g_free
is required for each element.  In that case, there's the g_free
followed by a g_slist_remove... does it care that it's pointing to an
already freed element?

Could somebody tell me the correct way to free each element?

Also, in the documentation, it says that gtk_clist_* is deprecated. 
Does anyone know the GTK 2.4 equivalent of it?

Thanks,
Jeramy
