[cairo] How to free the memory allocated by cairo_image_surface_create_for_png?

[Charles Wang]

Hi Carl:

Thanks for you quickly reply, got your idea. :)

I think you let me to do the following things:
d = malloc(...);
sr = cairo_image_surface_create_for_data(d, CAIRO_FORMAT_XXX, w, h,
stride);
cairo_surface_set_user_data(sr, "IMG", d, free);

It should be complex than just call
'caior_image_surface_assume_ownershipt_of_data' and might encounter key
conflict problem, The prototype of user data destroy callback must also
compatible with 'free' in libc, otherwise we have to define a callback
for this common simple position.

So if the '_cairo_image_surface_assume_ownership_of_data' is a public
function, we will do simple/safe/straightforward thing to avoid memory
leak.

How about it? Thanks. :)
