It would be useful to have some smart pointers to be used in the GTK port to reduce memory leaks and code complexity. We should need at least a OwnPtr-like class for pointers and a ref ptr for gobjects.
I can see two possibilities: modifying OwnPtr and RefPtr for our needs or add new classes. The first solution could be a bit tricky so I think we could add something like:
template <typename T, freeFunction=g_free> class GOwnPtr : Noncopyable { ... };
typedef GOwnPtr<gchar*> GCharPtr; // most of the times we are dealing with chars
template <typename T=GObject*> class GObjectPtr { ... };
What do you think? Before starting to write anything I would like to hear the opinion of people more expert than me on C++.
