I won't mix them, depending on circumstance, see below. > For example, right now I have a structure coming from Libmtp for > playlists.

This won't be a problem if you deallocate the structure and its content yourself (even then it looks strange). > Is this going to cause problems? Should I make sure to use: > > free (playlist->name); > playlist->name = strdup (new_name); If the library frees the allocated playlist structure, this is right. I would prefer the later one. The first one can easily lead to errors, especially if the glib allocators don't use libc malloc implementation sometime.
