Field Documentation

guint32 _GaimStringref::ref

The reference count of this string. Note that reference counts are only 31 bits, and the high-order bit indicates whether this string is up for GC at the next idle handler... But you aren't going to touch this anyway, right?

char _GaimStringref::value[1]

The string contained in this ref. Notice that it is simply "hanging off the end" of the ref ... this is to save an allocation.
