I'm trying to write a simple plugin and I'm stuck at the combo functions  
gegl_buffer_get(), gegl_buffer_set(). When I _get() a buffer to a malloced 
memmory, the memory seems to be garbage. And when I try to _set() from the 
memory to a shadow buffer and merge, all I get is a black result.

Here's a (not)working example:

```
#include <libgimp/gimp.h>

static void query(void);
static void run(const gchar     *name,
        gint             nparams,
        const GimpParam *param,
        gint            *nreturn_vals,
        GimpParam      **return_vals);

GimpPlugInInfo PLUG_IN_INFO = {
    NULL,
    NULL,
    query,
    run
};

MAIN();

static void gegl_copy (gint drawable)
{
    GeglBuffer *buffer;
    GeglBuffer *shadow;

    printf("Plugin: Drawable ID %i\n", drawable);
    buffer = gimp_drawable_get_buffer(drawable);
    shadow = gimp_drawable_get_shadow_buffer(drawable);

    printf("Plugin: gegl_copy()\n");
    guint x      = gegl_buffer_get_x(buffer);
    guint y      = gegl_buffer_get_y(buffer);
    guint width  = gegl_buffer_get_width(buffer);
    guint height = gegl_buffer_get_height(buffer);

    printf("Gegl buffer x: %d\n", x);
    printf("Gegl buffer y: %d\n", y);
    printf("Gegl buffer width: %d\n", width);
    printf("Gegl buffer height: %d\n", height);

    gfloat *in;
    gfloat *out;

    gint sel_x, sel_y;
    gint sel_width, sel_height;

                        &sel_x, &sel_y,

        return;

    guint index = 0;

    const Babl *format;
    format = gegl_buffer_get_format(buffer);

Built with gimptool. It simply tries to fill the drawable with mid grey (or - 
if you comment the relevant lines in the for cycle - halve the input data). I 
was trying to follow the plugin tutorial from 
developer.gimp.org/writing_a_plugin, but that one is painfully out of date 
without gegl and I got a ton of deprecated warnings. So I tried to rewrite the 
logic using gegl buffers, but I failed. Well, I managed to do it in the cycle 
with gegl_buffer_set_color() (commented out in the cycle), but that one's 
painfully slow, so I thought that _get(), _set() might be faster.

At the end of the day, I want to have a plugin, which takes every pixel 
separately one by one and does some mathematical operation on that pixel, 
without the need to access multiple pixels at once.

If you could point me to my mistakes with buffer functions, I'd be grateful.

Thanks, Marek
