Show us your my_function(): you are almost certainly doing something
wrong. Best of all, provide a complete compilable example which
demonstrates the problem. And why are you casting the function pointer
to GThreadFunc? You do not need to call g_thread_init() with glib >=
2.32, and you do with earlier versions. Prior to version 2.24
g_thread_init() had to be the first glib call. Between 2.24 and 2.30 it
had to be the first call relevant to threads.
Also, please don't top post.
