[SudoDios]

Hi. I get this error : C [libgio-2.0.so.0+0xcb1b5] g_list_model_get_n_items+0x25 when create a columnview with SelectionModel (single,multi). how fix it ?

[jwharm]

Please add the source code.

ok i will

}

This is an example of my code. To see the problem, select an item in list and move in the list with the up and down arrow keys on keyboard. After a few moments you will see the error

I can't reproduce the error, but I've seen a similar error before. I'm 99% sure it's related to garbage collection of the ListStore.

Looking at the main function and the app.onActivate callback, you see that the ListStore is constructed (as a part of the columnGen Pair) and then the window is presented. Past that point, the ListStore instance is not used anymore in the kotlin code. It's still used by native code, but the JVM is not aware of that. So when after a while the Garbage Collector runs, it destroys the ListStore instance.

If you put the ListStore (or in your case, the columnGen variable) in a public field, the JVM should keep it alive, and the crash should disappear.

I will test this

@jwharm Yes, it was done!
The problem was the JVM garbage collector. thank you 👍.

[jwharm]

@SudoDios This turned out to be a bug in java-gi after all. It will be fixed in the next release.

[SudoDios]

@jwharm Really?!
How interesting.
