#include <gio/gio.h>
void
gfile_add_watch (const char *file)
{
GFile *gfile = g_file_new_for_path (file);
GFileMonitor *monitor;
GFileMonitorFlags gflags = G_FILE_MONITOR_NONE;
monitor = g_file_monitor (gfile, gflags, NULL, NULL);
if (! monitor)
printf ("Can't watch file %s\n", file);
else
printf ("Watching file %s\n", file);
}
int
main ()
{
const char *file = "gfile-test.c";
gfile_add_watch (file);
}
$ gcc -g -O0 -o gfile-test $(pkg-config --cflags gio-2.0) gfile-test.c
$(pkg-config --libs gio-2.0)
In the 64-bit case, this behaves as expected:
$ ./gfile-test.exe
Watching file gfile-test.c
In the 32-bit case, however, it crashes. Running it under gdb shows
that the call to g_file_monitor leads to a SEGV, but I can't tell
exactly where; when I try to single step through the Glib code, I
eventually hit an assertion violation in gdb. strace shows lots of
exceptions, but I can't make much sense out of it otherwise.
I rebuilt glib and gamin without optimization so that I could step
through the code in gdb. But stepping through the code turned out to be
unnecessary, because the bug was gone after the rebuilds. I don't know
if optimization was really the issue or whether just rebuilding with the
latest tools is what fixed it.
My builds can be obtained from
http://sanibeltranquility.com/cygwin/
if anyone else wants to try to reproduce this without rebuilding the
packages themselves.
Yaakov, could you take a look?
