Description Andrew Cagney 2006-01-26 16:04:12 UTC
I will be sending this patch to LibGlade upstream.  The SEGV inside
LibGlade was due to a bug in jni/org_gnu_glade_LibGlade.c.  The file
does not include a prototype for gkt-java's getGObjectHandle, so the
compiler was assuming the function returns 'int'.

The function actually returns a 'void *', and since this is a 64bit
host, the returned value (assumed to be int by the compiler) was being
sign extended.  So, anyway, the fix is obvious.  The warnings were right
there and being ignored, as usual.

The actual difficult part of finding this was the multithreading and the
multitude of calls into JNI, pthread, dynamic casts and the rest of
Java's runtime.  Sigh.

I now get a different problem which I'll look at next:

I'm not sure what's the process of getting this from upstream.  I've
added to my local RPM for the time being.
