I just wrote a simple python script to fix all the compiler warnings caused by missing GObject type-casting. It's in git repo of devtools. Get it here: http://lxde.git.sourceforge.net/git/gitweb.cgi?p=lxde/devtools;a=blob;f=fix-gtk-type-casting.py;h=ca4abba84abeb2589e8a4737595dbf375f7ba2ba;hb=HEAD
Let's use lxpanel as an example: > cd lxpanel > make > log.txt 2>&1 now the build log should be in log.txt. > ./fix-gtk-type-casting.py log.txt ./src done! All missing type-casting are added automatically. > make clean all See if the fixed code work. Gtk+ uses C to emulate object oriented programming, but there is no subclass in C, so when you use a pointer and want to do dynamic casting between different classes, gtk+ uses its own RTTI mechanism. To convert a GtkWidget* to GtkWindow*, you need the macro GTK_WINDOW(). Otherwise there will be compiler warnings complaining of incompatible pointer types. This script automatically fixes all of this kind of missing type-casting macros. So LXDE developers, feel free to try it and to see if it work for you. This should eliminate most of the warnings in LXDE components. However, after adding all those macros, things will slow down since this enables runtime type-casting, which is only needed on debug. Luckily there is an glib compiler flag to turn runtime check off. So we can only enable this for debug build. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.
