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

Did you read the documentation of Glib::RefPtr<>?

What didn't you understand in the part that say:
"RefPtr<> can store any class that has reference() and unreference() methods. In gtkmm, that is anything derived from Glib::ObjectBase, such as Gdk::Pixmap."

Yes, I've read this, but I don't understood right. Please sorry.

 

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.

And? I never say don't use Glib::ustring. I just say to free you pointer using g_free() as told in the documentation.

Oh, below code worked well.
I thought (past of think?) that freeing the pointer, the ustring becomes to point to garbage.
The code below is right?

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

Thank you very much.
