Description Murray Cumming 2005-07-13 14:23:32 UTC 
This patch changes the use of gpointer to guint8* for binary data in GdaValue. I
don't know if this really works anyway, and I chose guint8 arbitrarily, but
surely void* is unnecessary because the data does have some structure.

Comment 3 Rodrigo Moya 2005-07-13 16:39:12 UTC 
hmm, wouldn't it be better to use guchar?
Comment 4 Murray Cumming 2005-08-21 12:31:52 UTC 
Possibly. Maybe they are the same thing. I wouldn't object. I just wanted
something that's the same on all platforms.
Comment 5 malerba 2005-09-15 11:32:08 UTC 
Corrected using guchar*.
