This is because you didn't initialise the GError pointer variable to NULL 
before passing its address to g_io_channel_new_file():

  GError *err = NULL;
  ioc = g_io_channel_new_file ("foo.txt", "r", &err);

or

  ioc = g_io_channel_new_file ("foo.txt", "r", NULL);

but not:

  GError *err;
  ioc = g_io_channel_new_file ("foo.txt", "r", &err);
