[maemo-developers] Assertion failed unexpectedly OR BUG in maemo 3.x?

[From: Jakov]

Yes, that's so. The number of param passing depends on detailed signal which
is invoked. For instance, "clicked" is a signal that invokes

void user_function (GtkButton *button,  gpointer   user_data)   : Run
First / Action

so my func should be

void callback_do_test (GtkButton *button,  gpointer data )

instead of

void callback_do_test
(GtkWidget* widget,  GtkAction * action, gpointer data )


Type-casting is no problem but redundant param will lead to application
accessing arbitrary data as you said.

That's the reason why the app ran so unstably.

Hey, don't know why it ran well on Maemo 3.x. Is it a BUG? Don't know
if 3.xis open now.

Thanks a lot one more time, Markku Vire!

Have a nice day!
