Folks,
I'm no longer able to run PyGtk scripts from gdb under some circumstances. I am using the CVS HEAD of glib, atk, pango, gtk+ and pygtk. The following simple Python script works fine when run from gdb:
#!/usr/bin/env python
import gtk
w = gtk.Window() w.connect("destroy", gtk.mainquit) #lbl = gtk.Label("hi") #w.add(lbl)
w.show_all() gtk.mainloop()
with the following output:
(gdb) r basic.py Starting program: /usr/local/bin/python basic.py [New Thread 1024 (LWP 19044)] Gtk-Message: YOU ARE USING THE DEVEL BRANCH 1.3.x OF GTK+ WHICH IS CURRENTLY UNDER HEAVY DEVELOPMENT AND FREQUENTLY INTRODUCES INSTABILITIES. if you don't know why you are getting this, you probably want to use the stable branch which can be retrieved from ftp://ftp.gtk.org/pub/gtk/v1.2/ or via CVS with cvs checkout -r glib-1-2 glib; cvs checkout -r gtk-1-2 gtk+
Just curious: does the proposed stable branch show the same behaviour ? If so, I'd suggest to ask the GTK guys for help. If not, then perhaps you have to rebuild the Python extensions involved and make sure that they match the Python version you are using. What you're seeing looks like there are some buffer overruns going on...
