[Iup-users] Memory question again.

[Antonio Scuri]

  The IupSetAttribute just keeps a reference to the given pointer. So the
memory will not be freed.

  The IupStoreAttribute will duplicate the given string. So you can free it
just after the call.

  The code as it is, will result in a memory leak. 

Best,
scuri
