  1. GTK+ Programming in C
GTK+ Programming in C
by Syd Logan
2002 Prentice Hall

All GTK+ code examples presented in this book had been tested in Ch on Solaris in June, 2003.

Here is a list of bugs existing in the examples of the book.

(1) book/chapter11/packer/packer.c Ch is powerful in detecting buffer overflow in arrays. Most C/C++ compilers cannot detect such an error. Program packer.c contains a buffer overflow bug. To fix this bug, change line 26 from char buf[10]; to char buf[20]; or use Variable Length Array in C99 as shown at http://www.softintegration.com/demos/chstandard/c99.html#3 (2) book/chapter11/packer/itemfactory.c Change line 54 from static gpointer foo=(gpointer0 0x12345678L; to static gpointer foo=(gpointer) 0x12345678L; (3) book/chapter9/menu/menu.c has a bug. It needs to be changed from myMenuItem = (GtkMenuItem *) menu_items = gtk_check_menu_item_new_with_label (buf); to menu_items = gtk_check_menu_item_new_with_label (buf); myMenuItem = (GtkMenuItem *) menu_items; (4) book/chapter9/itemfactory2/itemfactory.c will crash in both compiled C program or run in Ch when clicking menu inside the window after button is clicked and hold-on.
