unexpected behaviour?

[Remco van de Meent <remco dnd utwente nl>]

Hi,

If I output this in GDB:

(gdb) print *(struct _GtkEntry *)list->data
$12 = {editable = {widget = {object = {klass = 0x8088350, flags = 69576, 
        ref_count = 1, object_data = 0x809c3f8}, private_flags = 0, 
      state = 0 '\000', saved_state = 0 '\000', name = 0x0, style = 0x80899e8, 
      requisition = {width = 158, height = 20}, allocation = {x = 186, y = 24, 
        width = 268, height = 20}, window = 0x80bc6d0, parent = 0x80b4810}, 
    current_pos = 9, selection_start_pos = 0, selection_end_pos = 0, 
    has_selection = 0, editable = 1, visible = 1, ic = 0x80bc288, 
    ic_attr = 0x80bc740, clipboard_text = 0x0}, text_area = 0x80bc708, 
  backing_pixmap = 0x80bd4f0, cursor = 0x80bc278, text = 0x80b4b88, 
  text_size = 128, text_length = 52, text_max_length = 0, scroll_offset = 4, 
  visible = 1, timer = 0, button = 0, char_offset = 0x80b4d90, 
  text_mb = 0x80bea28 "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA", 
  text_mb_dirty = 0, use_wchar = 0}

where list is a GList * and list->data pointing to a 
struct _GtkEntry *

why is gtk_entry_get_text() failing in this case:

(gdb) print gtk_entry_get_text((struct _GtkEntry *)list->data)
$13 = (gchar *) 0xb315 <Address 0xb315 out of bounds>

The program is segfaulting at this point in time (at this call:
gtk_entry_get_text(GTK_ENTRY(list->data)) ).

Am I missing something, or did I hit some unexpected behaviour?


Thanks,
Remco.
