gtk_tree_view_column_get_cell_renderers implicitly converted to pointer
Last modified: 2009-08-20 18:45:49 UTC
this report has been filed here: https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnumeric/+bug/402175 "Function `gtk_tree_view_column_get_cell_renderers' implicitly converted to pointer at ../../../src/dialogs/dialog-stf-preview.c:300 Our automated build log filter[1] detected the problem(s) above that will likely cause your package to segfault on 64-bit architectures (where the size of a pointer is greater than the size of an integer.) This is often due to a missing function prototype definition. For more information, see [2]. Since use of implicitly converted pointers is always (eventually and/or itermittantly) fatal to the application, they are errors. Please correct them for your next upload.

If you take away a function prototype that we use then this is what happens. In this case, the gtk developers did it for you. I am not a great fan of automatically generated bug reports when fail to mention basic things such as version numbers, in this case for Gnumeric and GTK+. If I didn't already see a (proper) report for this, what would you expect me to do with this? The current version doesn't even use gtk_tree_view_column_get_cell_renderers. Finally, "critical" does not mean "it happened to me". *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 589105 ***
