Exclamation GTK+3 - Gtk Entry - Seg Fault? - Please help! :S


Hi,

I am writing a program in C++ which creates a GTK Window and should get input from the user. (But it's not working!)

The line which is causing the problem is:
Code:
textP = gtk_entry_get_text(GTK_ENTRY(entry_name));
textP is a tempoary variable which I created for debugging.
The terminal output looks like this:
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

Process returned 139 (0x8B) execution time : 2.252 s
Press ENTER to continue.
(I am working in Code::Blocks or with g++ command line.)

Other relevent pieces of code:
Code:
GtkEntryBuffer *entry_name_buffer; // Entry buffer for user input
const gchar* textP; // The string to hold the entry text
GtkWidget *entry_name; // The entry widget which will hold the persons name

entry_name_buffer = gtk_entry_buffer_new(NULL, 0); 
entry_name = gtk_entry_new_with_buffer(entry_name_buffer);
And I want to be able to do something like:

std::string any_old_string = gtk_entry_get_text(GTK_ENTRY(entry_name));

A button calls a function which is supposed to transfer the text in the gtk entry (textbox thing) to a string which can be used elsewhere in my program.

Please help!

Thanks, Edward Bird.

Talking Callback Functions must be static?

Ah, I think I have found the problem.

Problem:
Apparently all callback functions have to be static.
Solution: Make callback functions static.

New Problem:
Apparently static functions cannot access/modify any NON-STATIC data.
Solution: Declare all required data as static, and declare static data members ABOVE main for use.

All problems fixed!

Code:
To do these things: (examples)
   Put "static" infront of callback functions.
   Change "bool boolean_member_name" To "static bool boolean_member_name"
   Put "bool boolean_member_name" OR "bool class_name::boolean_member_name" above int main(...)
