In the copy of gtkclist.c I have, cell_set_text cell_set_pixtext, and
perhaps others all free the current string before storing the new
one. This makes the following code segfault:
gtk_clist_get_text(cl, row, col, &text);
...
gtk_clist_set_text(cl, row, col, text);
Is this intentional? It seems reasonable to have gtk_clist_set*text()
check to see if the string argument is the same pointer the one
already in the cell. If so, then it shouldn't try to free it.
Now I know that the above code is just a no-op, but aside from making
the interface more robust, and keeping the user from having to check
all the pointers carefully, what about the case where you're trying to
change a cell from text to pixtext like this:
gtk_clist_get_text(cl, row, col, &text);
gtk_clist_set_pixtext(cl, row, col, text, spacing, pixmap, mask);
I believe this will also segfault.
Thanks.
