Description makuchaku (Mayank) 2007-03-03 12:53:51 UTC 
Devhelp spits a MEMORY-WARNING when invoked from gedit plugin

***MEMORY-WARNING***: devhelp[12881]: GSlice: g_thread_init() must be called before all other GLib functions; memory corruption due to late invocation of g_thread_init() has been detected; this program is likely to crash, leak or unexpectedly abort soon...


Test case
---------
1) Run gedit (gedit-2.17.4-1.fc7) from command line
2) Enable Devhelp plugin from the preferences
3) Write any small C program
4) Highlight "main" & press F7 to invoke devhelp
5) Check the MEMORY-WARNING on the gnome-terminal

Do you get that warning when running devhelp in a terminal as well?
Comment 4 Richard Hult 2007-04-17 16:33:04 UTC 
I can't reproduce and there is no further info, setting as NEEDINFO.
Comment 5 Mikael Hallendal 2007-04-18 20:05:17 UTC 
I can reproduce it, will try to track it down.
Comment 6 Mikael Hallendal 2007-04-18 20:13:03 UTC 
Fixed in trunk.
