> The code seams to work correctly on Linux No it doesn't, not for me at least. Hangs in the same way. You use a (by default) buffered GIOChannel, and in that case g_io_channel_read_chars() wants to read exactly the number of bytes you ask for. So it blocks waiting for more to be written to the pipe than just the "\nHello World\n". Add this to your code and it works fine: g_io_channel_set_encoding(iochannel, NULL, NULL); g_io_channel_set_buffered(iochannel, FALSE); (In general writing and reading the same pipe inside one thread means there is a possibility of deadlock unless you are very careful and know exactly how much is being written and that is is also read soon enough. Change the hello() function to write a couple of kilobytes (on Windows; on Linux some tens of kilobytes seem to be required because the default pipe buffer is larger, or something) and watch the program hang again.) --tml _______________________________________________ gtk-list mailing list gtk-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
