Please, how I avoid this leak?

I tried following, without success:

Glib::ustring win_NetworkInterface::get_name()
{
    Glib::RefPtr<gchar>  cname (g_utf16_to_utf8(
            (gunichar2*) this->ifinfo.FriendlyName, -1, NULL, NULL, NULL));
    Glib::ustring name(cname);
    return name;
}

Without even the need for you to tell me to define "without success" (yes this is far to vague to even be a useful statement), I can tell you that you should re-read the documentation for Glib::RefPtr<> as you are misusing it.

 

Glib::ustring accepts a "gchar*" but not a gchar wrapped by RefPtr.

*hint*: the doc for g_utf16_to_utf8() tells you that the pointer needs to be freed with g_free(). Why don't you just do that?

 

win_NetworkInterface class is a specialization of NetworkInterface abstract class.
The NetworkInterface class defines "get_name" to return "Glib::ustring".
And I want to keep this as is, to enjoy ustring facilities.

Thanks.
