[Glade-devel] A (not so) little issue at gladeui/glade-project.c:1492

[Juan Manuel Mouriz]

To Glade developers

In gladeui/glade-project.c:1492, the call to g_free (required_lib) not
always leave required_lib in NULL, at least for me, so the condition
!required_lib fail in the remaining bucles. Of cource, this occurs when I
use more than one requires-tag and can't use my own plugins.

I believe that the more simple solution is to assign required_lib to NULL
just after g_free.

What they think about it?

I don't fully see your point. required_lib is free'd in the last else
branch and when the loop continues, the first thing is to initialize it
to NULL
(https://git.gnome.org/browse/glade/tree/gladeui/glade-project.c#n1443).
So it shouldn't be a problem that it isn't being set to NULL.

Sidenote: The correct way to free it and set it to NULL would be
g_clear_pointer (&required_lib, g_free) but that shouldn't be necessary
here.

Thanks Johannes,

I'm sorry, I made the mistake of watching a previous version and I see that the
code it's ok in GIT.

Thank you very much for pointing the correct way to free.
