Description Markus Gerwinski 2003-03-27 09:53:08 UTC 
The reference documentation for the method Gtk::TreeModel::get_path() tells
you to manually free the returned Gtk::TreePath instance using
gtk_tree_path_free(). This instruction is most probably obsolete and should
be removed from the documentation. Developers using Gtkmm can ignore it: The
get_path return value needn't be manually freed.

We should also search for other *_free() functions in our
documentation. I guess we could grep the HTML.
