Thread: GtkTreeView memory management question

hi,

have searched on net answer question me haven't had luck yet. hoping fine people here give me hand.

let me preface saying while know c new linux (and gtk) development. have followed tutorials can't seem nail down memory leak coming from. have 2 functions addrow , clearrows defined below:

/* adds row of dummy data filling each column element string */
void addrow{
//create iter add data from
gtktreeiter iter;
//the treeview store
gtkliststore *store = null;

//grab copy of existing store (if 1 exists)
store = (gtkliststore *)gtk_tree_view_get_model((gtktreeview *)mytreeview);

if(store == null)
{
//create gtype array number of columns want
gtype *types = g_new0(gtype, numcols);

//set of types string
for(int i=0; i<numcols; i++)
types[i] = g_type_string;

//create new store of above types
store = gtk_list_store_newv(numcols,types);

//free memory used gtypes
free(types);
}else
g_object_ref(store);

//configure iter append model
gtk_list_store_append(store, &iter);

//loop through array , populate columns
for(int i=0; i<numcols;i++)
{
gtk_list_store_set(store, &iter,i,"dummy data",-1);
}

//set model of treeview display new data
gtk_tree_view_set_model(gtk_tree_view(mytreeview), gtk_tree_model(store));

//free reference
g_object_unref(store);
}

/* rid of rows tree view */
void clearrows{

//grab copy of existing store (if 1 exists)
gtkliststore *store = (gtkliststore *)gtk_tree_view_get_model((gtktreeview *)mytreeview);

if(store != null)
{
gtk_list_store_clear(store);
}
}

when run above functions in loop this

/* test adding 1,000 rows , removing them see if leak memory */
void testaddandremove{
for(int i=0;i<1000;i++)
addrow();

clearrows();
}

memory increases never released. must missing simple. suggest fix or clue me in on problem is?

lot!
