[pygtk] treview segfaults due to sorting

Brian dol-sen at telus.net
Thu Jan 5 16:43:17 WST 2006 

Our app has several treeviews.  One of those has several models that are
switched out, 3 are flat lists, 1 currently has one expander and child
nodes.  If the expander is opened, when switching to any of the other
models, it gets an instant segfault from the model.clear().  If I
comment out the clear() it segfaults still, just a little different.
The only thing I've been able to do so far to prevent the segfault is to
force a re-sort by clicking on one of the other column headers.
Normally the sort is on the first column (0).  All models share the same
treestore model.  The checkbox is hidden for all but one view.
def PackageModel():
    """Common model for a package Treestore"""
    store = gtk.TreeStore(
        gobject.TYPE_STRING,        # 0: package name
        gobject.TYPE_BOOLEAN,       # 1: checkbox value in upgrade view
        gobject.TYPE_PYOBJECT,      # 2: package object
        gtk.gdk.Pixbuf,             # 3: room for various icons
        gobject.TYPE_BOOLEAN,       # 4: true if package is in 'world'
file
        gobject.TYPE_STRING,        # 5: foreground text colour
        gobject.TYPE_STRING,        # 6: size
        gobject.TYPE_STRING,        # 7: installed version
        gobject.TYPE_STRING,        # 8: portage recommended version
        gobject.TYPE_STRING,        # 9: description
    )
    store.set_sort_func(6, size_sort_func)
    store.set_sort_func(8, latest_sort_func)
    store.set_sort_func(7, installed_sort_func)
    return store



I do not know if this is a gtk bug yet or something we are doing wrong.
Googling showed that Johan was the main contributor of that section of
code, so I thought this list might be the best place to ask for any
insights as to what to look for, etc., besides it is a pygtk app :).

I've been far too busy lately to create a simple test app to duplicate
the problem.  Mostly what I am looking for now is any insight from
others that may have experienced similar problems and solved them.

I am attaching a file which is an accumulation of several gdb backtraces
for those that might be able to discern some valuable info from it.

Any help is very much appreciated...  Brian.
