Using g_mem_profiler_table

[Robert Schroll <rschroll gmail com>]

Hi all,

I'm trying to use g_mem_profile to get a comparison of memory usage for 
several approaches in a GTK application.  But I get a realloc error if 
I set things up by calling g_mem_set_vtable(glib_mem_profiler_table).  
Any ideas why?

Here's a basic C program:
> #include <gtk/gtk.h>
> #include <glib.h>
>
> int main( int argc, char** argv )
> {
>   g_mem_set_vtable( glib_mem_profiler_table );
>   gtk_init( &argc, &argv );
>
>   return 0;
> }

I compile with:
$ gcc `pkg-config gtk+-3.0 --cflags` mem-basic.c -o mem-basic 
`pkg-config gtk+-3.0 --libs`

But when I run it:
$ ./mem-basic
*** Error in `./mem-basic': realloc(): invalid pointer: 
0x0000000001af7e80 ***
Aborted (core dumped)

This is on Ubuntu 14.04 (GTK 3.10.8, glib 2.40.2).  This is my first 
time attempting to g_mem_profile, so don't assume I've done any of the 
obvious things yet.

Thanks,
Robert
