Now, I have learned that this doesn't mean that it is actually still allocated :] It is quite difficult though, to find out in gdb if an object is indeed still active or if it has been destroyed in the mean-time. Would be nice if the compiler could help us a bit there. Something like a --mark-deleted-objects flag. Cheers, Waldo -- KDE, Making The Future of Computing Available Today http://www.kde.org
