Re: glib question: static GStrings?

["Maher Awamy" <muhri muhri net>]

Hi Peter,

        in your function

my_func(some params)
{
        static GString my_String = NULL;
        if (my_String == NULL) my_String = g_string_new();
/* your code here */
}

or if your string maybe null sometimes because you might have tinkered with it

my_func(some params)
{
        static GString my_string = NULL;
        static gint GString_Initilized = 0;
        if (!GString_Initilized) { my_string = g_string_new();
                GString_Initilized = 1;
        }

}

hope this helps..

Maher
