[GTK] data pointer change when passed to callback function

[liquidator87]

Hi, I'm doing some tests with GTK, I'm stuck with this problem:

Here's my code:



typedef struct
{
...
} album_info;

static gboolean free_all(GtkWidget *window, gpointer data)
{
album_info *info = data;
printf("%p\n", info);
gtk_widget_destroy(window);
return FALSE;
}

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
album_info *info = malloc(sizeof(album_info));
...
GtkWidget *window = gtk_window_new(GTK_WINDOW_TOPLEVEL);
printf("%p\n", (gpointer)info);
g_signal_connect(window, "delete-event", G_CALLBACK(free_all), (gpointer) info);
...
}


The result of the two printf should be the same, shouldn't it?
It is different, so I'm not able to manipulate the data inside the callback function.
Am I missing something?

EDIT:

SOLVED: changed the callback definition to "static gboolean free_all(GtkWidget *window, GdkEventKey *e, gpointer data)"

Yes, that's a tricky part of GTK+ programming. Each signal has its own peculiar interface for callbacks. You should always take a look at the signal's entry on the GTK+ API docs (if you haven't, install devhelp from the repos and libgtk2.0-doc... it's very handy).
