Re[5]: argv revisited

(Approximate repost of a message I sent with a wrong From address; looks 
like the mods haven't delivered nor rejected it, hence the repost, but I 
don't have the original message so this will break the thread. Sorry for 
that.)


Andrew Robinson:
So is that how to actually get help on the GTK Dev forums? Beg for help? 
I thought posting a problem would be enough, but okay then ...


In my frame, saying please is not begging. I found your "Show me your 
code" a bit too imperative. Also, the etiquette in MLs is different from 
that in StackExchange. But well, I'm not a native English speaker.



Your source code doesn't work, so let's compare environments. I have:

1) Windows7
2) Win32 version of GTK+, version 3.18
3) The pathname that doesn't work contains the UTF-16 character, U+2026
(ellipsis)


Again, I cross-compiled in Linux for Win32, linking the last GTK2 (2.24.X 
I think) statically. Executable tested in Win XP.


NOTE: The UTF-8 version of U+2026 is 0E280A6h, but Windows doesn't 
support UTF-8.


I don't know how the infinity symbol I used is coded in Windows. I 
inserted it with the help of the character map tool. It displays properly 
in the file explorer.



Here is where the problem occurs (simplified):

  oSrcFilename = gtk_file_chooser_get_filename(oBtnSrcFile);
  g_file_get_contents(oSrcFilename,*ptrSrcCode,*lenFile,0);


I looked at your code and could see nothing different about it in this 
regards


I spot one difference in that I call g_file_new_for_path to turn the 
filename string into a GFile. Maybe this is relevant, maybe not, I can't 
tell.

(This in response to Lucas Levrel's suggesting a "please" following 
the imperative "show me your source code.")


LL was merely requesting a little civility. In many years of reading 
this list I don't think I've ever come across such a boorish and 
pig-headed poster.

So is that how to actually get help on the GTK Dev forums? Beg for help? I
thought posting a problem would be enough, but okay then ... pretty please
help me ...

Your source code doesn't work, so let's compare environments. I have:

1) Windows7
2) Win32 version of GTK+, version 3.18
3) The pathname that doesn't work contains the UTF-16 character, U+2026
(ellipsis)

NOTE: The UTF-8 version of U+2026 is 0E280A6h, but Windows doesn't support
UTF-8.

Here is where the problem occurs (simplified):

  oSrcFilename = gtk_file_chooser_get_filename(oBtnSrcFile);
  g_file_get_contents(oSrcFilename,*ptrSrcCode,*lenFile,0);
 
gtk_message_dialog_format_secondary_markup(oMsgSuccess,*szPrintfLong,lenFile);
  gtk_dialog_run(oMsgSuccess);
  gtk_widget_hide(oMsgSuccess)
  g_free(ptrSrcCode)

What I am doing is just printing out the size of any file I choose from the
file chooser of the application. It works perfectly for any file in any
directory other than the one containing the ellipsis. I looked at your code
and could see nothing different about it in this regards, so I question
whether you are actually trying this in the same or similar environment I am.
