Re: gtk_main_quit() as button callback?



If you're calling g_application_run() then you don't need to call gtk_main() as well: the run() method will spin the main loop for you.

You also don't use gtk_main_quit() to stop the application's main loop: you should use g_application_quit() instead.

hi,

I'm in the process of converting my app from v2 to v3 and have come across something strange:

Attaching gtk_main_quit() to a button's click callback does not result in the application quitting.

What I see:
  1. attaching gtk_main_quit() to the to the top window destroy signal works fine, i.e., quit the app using the WM 'x'
  2. attaching gtk_main_quit() to a button does not work:
    2.1) first click - nothing happens
    2.2) each subsequent click - warning message is written to the cmd line:

        gtk_main_quit: assertion 'main_loops != NULL' failed

  3. gdb tells me that gtk_main_quit() is correctly invoked on the button click
  4. I will also deduce from the warning message that the main loop is actually gone after the first click
So why does gtk_main() not return?

This worked as expected in GTK2.

The following minimal program (top window + quit button) demonstrates this strangeness.  Could this be platform-specific somehow?  (Ubuntu 14.04)

any insights appreciated,

richard

return status;
}
