[Vala] Program doesn't quit

2013-12-03 Thread Steven Oliver
For the past year or so off and on I've been working on a pet project.
Between the time spent rewriting various parts of it over and over, and
trying to learn Vala/GTK, it's taking me a lot longer than I hoped it would.

Anyway, here is my project on Github:
https://github.com/steveno/balistica

While I'm sure there are plenty of improvements that can be made (patches
welcome!) I have one problem that's been driving me crazy for a while now
and I'm desperate for help now to solve it. I assume the problem has to be
in src/BalisticaApplication.vala or src/MainWindow.vala.

If anyone is willing to offer any suggestions I'd greatly appreciate it!

Hi,

I don't know gtk.application / window very well, but are you supposed to
run the main loop manually even when using gtkapplication?

What happens if you remove Gtk.main call at line 58 of
https://github.com/steveno/balistica/blob/master/src/MainWindow.vala

Ciao,
Andrea

You didn't really describe the symptoms (in fact, you didn't even
mention what the problem was in the body of your e-mail), but it's
probably a safe guess that you're not calling Gtk.main_quit().

https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/Vala/GTKSample has some examples.  For
the simple cases, people generally just connect it to the main window's
destroy signal:

window.destroy.connect (Gtk.main_quit);

Once you invoke Gtk.main_quit(), your program will resume execution by
returning from the Gtk.main() call.

Evan,
My apologies for apparently not clearly stating the issue. Here's try
number 2:
1) Run the program.
2) Close the GUI that pops up
3) The GUI goes away as expected but the process is still running in my
terminal

As for you suggestion, I already have that line in my code. Line 54 of
MainWindow.vala.

Andrea,
Good guess! I hadn't actually tried that one. That didn't fix it though :(
I'm now left with the process still there but now with the following error
message:

(balistica:2473): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_main_quit: assertion `main_loops !=
NULL' failed

As  a quick fix, you could replace the gtk_main_quit function with 
another function that has the same signature, but contains the exit 
method, which will be sure to bump you out of the program.  Just be sure 
to declare the exit method in your file.


extern void exit(int exit_code);

void quit()
{
exit(0);
}

Re: [Vala] Program doesn't quit

2013-12-03 Thread Steven Oliver
I figured out my own issue. Well, sort of anyway. In order to fix it I
removed the MainWindow class that overrode Gtk.Window. I moved the code
that would have been there back to my BalisticaApplication class. Now it
works.
