What's ownership of pixmap parameter for `SCI_MARKERDEFINEPIXMAP`?

[Victor T]

Hi,

Just a quick question, I was wondering whether `SCI_MARKERDEFINEPIXMAP` steals a reference to the pixmap passed in or if it makes a copy? I checked https://scintilla.org/ScintillaDoc.html#SCI_MARKERDEFINEPIXMAP and also looked at `MarkerDefinePixmap` in ScintillaCall.cxx but it wasn't really obvious what the expected convention is suppose to be.

Thanks

I mainly just need to know if it's okay for the caller to deallocate `pixmap` (xpm) after the call to ` SCI_MARKERDEFINEPIXMAP ` or will this result in undefined behavior?

Yes.

It makes a copy.
