glib: problem with GArray

[Erwan Loisant]

Hello.

I can't properly add elements to a GArray. Basically I have a GArray
of GList, so here is what I do to append an element in a given GList
of my GArray:

1. GList* currentBucket = g_array_index (buckets, GList*, index);
2. currentBucket = g_list_append(currentBucket, node);
3. g_array_insert_val(buckets, index, currentBucket);


1) Get the GList* at the "index" position
2) Append the "node" element in my GList
3) Put back the pointer to GList in the GArray (I think it is needed
especially for the first insertion, since currentBucket is NULL).

The problem is, each time I try to insert a new element, the
"currentBucket" that I get is NULL. For the first insertion at a given
level it's ok, but after that I am supposed to receive a non-null
GList.

Can you see what is the problem?

Yes. The problem is that neither GArray (Who he? A glamrock singer?) and
GList (The Wicked Witch of the Nor'norwest?) are part of ISO C, so this
question cannot possibly be answered reliably in comp.lang.c unless you
provide us with their definitions.

Hello again.

Please excuse me for this mistake.

Thank you.

I finally found what was the problem. "g_array_insert_val" actually
inserts the element while I thought it replaced the existing one.
