Pointer problems

[rhfreeman <rhfreeman micron com>]

Hi all,

Interesting one this - using signals my program appears to be getting
confused at to which pointers are being passed where! Here is a quick
overview of the code.

****

Globals:

#define MAX_WINDOWS 32

typedef struct _window_layout
{
// stuff (which includes a clist)
  gint id;
} window_layout;

static window_layout w_layout[MAX_WINDOWS];

****

Main:

gpointer ptr[MAX_WINDOWS];

// blah

for (i=0; i<MAX_WINDOWS; i++)
{
  // does stuff to each element of the array
    ptr[i]=&w_layout[i];
    gtk_signal_connect(GTK_OBJECT(w_layout[i].signal_lists),
"size_allocate", GTK_SIGNAL_FUNC(clist_size), ptr[i]);
}

****

void clist_size(GtkWidget *clist, GtkAllocation *allocation, gpointer
current_list)
{
  window_layout current_window;
  current_window=*(window_layout*) current_list;
  printf("ALLOC: %d ---- %d\n", allocation->width, current_window.id);
}

*****

The problem is the value of current_window.id in clist_size() seems to
wander. Every time you add a panel, it should count each panel, but it
starts to wander.

Panels added			current_window.id
	1					0
	2					0, 1 (this is correct, but
then something odd happens)
	3					0, 0, 2
	4					0, 0, 2, 3
	5					0, 0, 2, 0, 4

Help! This is driving me spare!
