<a name="id3263198"></a><h2>Description</h2>
<p>
Pointer Arrays are similar to Arrays but are used only for storing pointers.
</p>
<div class="note" style="margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0.5in;">
<h3 class="title">Note</h3>
<p>
If you remove elements from the array, elements at the end of the array
are moved into the space previously occupied by the removed element.
This means that you should not rely on the index of particular elements
remaining the same. You should also be careful when deleting elements while
iterating over the array.
</p>
</div>
<p>
To create a pointer array, use <a href="glib-Pointer-Arrays.html#g-ptr-array-new"><code class="function">g_ptr_array_new()</code></a>.
</p>
<p>
To add elements to a pointer array, use <a href="glib-Pointer-Arrays.html#g-ptr-array-add"><code class="function">g_ptr_array_add()</code></a>.
</p>
<p>
To remove elements from a pointer array, use <a href="glib-Pointer-Arrays.html#g-ptr-array-remove"><code class="function">g_ptr_array_remove()</code></a>,
<a href="glib-Pointer-Arrays.html#g-ptr-array-remove-index"><code class="function">g_ptr_array_remove_index()</code></a> or <a href="glib-Pointer-Arrays.html#g-ptr-array-remove-index-fast"><code class="function">g_ptr_array_remove_index_fast()</code></a>.
</p>
<p>
To access an element of a pointer array, use <a href="glib-Pointer-Arrays.html#g-ptr-array-index"><code class="function">g_ptr_array_index()</code></a>.
</p>
<p>
To set the size of a pointer array, use <a href="glib-Pointer-Arrays.html#g-ptr-array-set-size"><code class="function">g_ptr_array_set_size()</code></a>.
</p>
<p>
To free a pointer array, use <a href="glib-Pointer-Arrays.html#g-ptr-array-free"><code class="function">g_ptr_array_free()</code></a>.
