Er, is nobody supposed to allocate GErrors statically? That's the first I'd heard of it... In code using dbus-glib to implement async methods, it's very convenient to do things like this: if (!check_permission(...)) { GError e = { TP_ERRORS, TP_ERROR_PERMISSION_DENIED, "no you can't have a pony" }; dbus_g_method_return_error (context, &e); } to avoid a pointless allocate/free when using functions like dbus_g_method_return_error (or g_error_copy), which take a const error... is this forbidden, and if so, by what?
