Window::setIcon copying?
« on: July 03, 2014, 12:17:05 pm »
Is it safe to assume that Window::setIcon always copies the pixel data, so I do not have to keep them?
Looking into a few implementations (OS X, Unix, Windows) this appears to be the case, but I cannot find a definitive statement in the documentation.

Yes, you don't need to keep the icon data on your side.

We should state this in the documentation. Laurent, do you want to adapt it correspondingly, or should I?

I'll never say "I'll do it" if you propose to do it 8)

Who knows, maybe you had a very concise and perfectly fitting wording in mind that you wanted to use at all costs :D

Thanks for clarifying that  :)
