g_threads problem.

[Martin Klaffenboeck <martin klaffenboeck gmx at>]

Hello,

I have got a problem.  I get the following error:


** (gports:47984): WARNING **: Invalid UTF8 string passed to 
pango_layout_set_text()
The program 'gports' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadRequest (invalid request code or no such operation)'.
  (Details: serial 39922 error_code 1 request_code 229 minor_code 0)
  (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
   that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
   To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
   option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
   backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() 
function.)

But I think (not really sure) I'm doing everything correct.

I attached the file I use for this.  The main things are:

void update_ports_treestore (void)
{
  GThread* thread;
    if (gports_search.running == TRUE)
    gports_search.stop = TRUE;
      if (!g_thread_supported ()) g_thread_init (NULL);
  thread = g_thread_create ((gpointer) update_ports_treestore_run,
                            NULL, TRUE, NULL);
}

That should be correct.  In the function update_ports_treestore_run I 
have at the beginning:

static GStaticMutex mutex_lock = G_STATIC_MUTEX_INIT;

  g_static_mutex_lock (&mutex_lock);

and before every return:
g_static_mutex_unlock (&mutex_lock);

That sould work, but that gives mit this trouble.

Thanks for every help.

Martin
