I want to fill in an entry text with a double value from an variable named som.stepsize, for example this value is som.stepsize = 0,001 and is defined as global so always available.
To add text I need a string so I use g_snprintf to create this string and then add it to the entry.
All kind of straightforward, but I have real big difficulties getting it right. I keep getting Segmentation errors.
Oh, I also tried sprintf (from stdio.h), but this did not help. Also tried g_strdup_printf but then I got more problems with not being UTF-8 text, so I got strange ASCII-letters.
I think it must be some combination that gives the error, because when I g_print("%f \n",labeltext1) after the g_snprintf this gives the correct value (before Segmentation error occurs). But when I delete g_snprintf then the problem is solved ?
Also it seems that compiling sometimes does function, and not a next time, or am I getting paranoid over this. It has been bothering me for all day and evening.
By the way, I am using gtk+-2.0.
g_snprintf(labeltext1, 6, "%f", sim.stepsize);
void Create_tab_sim (GtkWidget *tabnumber)
GtkWidget *stepsz; gchar *labeltext1;
// defined table and other widgets here, cropped it
stepsz = gtk_entry_new ();
gtk_table_attach_defaults (GTK_TABLE (table), stepsz, 1, 2, 0, 1);
g_signal_connect (GTK_OBJECT(stepsz), "activate", (GCallback) simulation_event, GINT_TO_POINTER (STEPSIZE));
gtk_entry_set_max_length ((GtkEntry *)stepsz, 6); g_snprintf(labeltext1, 6, "%f", sim.stepsize); <---------- gtk_entry_set_text (( GtkEntry *)stepsz, labeltext1); <----------
// more data here , cropped it g_free(labeltext1); }
