Subject: [PATCH v4 3/3] perf tools: fix GTK4 leftover show/hide calls and error-loop list race
Date: Sun, 06 Sep 2026 13:18:06 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260906-perf-gtk2-v4-3-97e92ee07214@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260906-perf-gtk2-v4-0-97e92ee07214@gmail.com>
Sashiko AI review of the GTK2-to-GTK4 port flagged two real issues:
- gtk_widget_show()/gtk_widget_hide() were removed in GTK4 but three
call sites were missed during the port. Replace with
gtk_widget_set_visible(), adding a small wrapper for the
info-bar "response" signal callback since gtk_widget_hide() no
longer exists to pass directly.
- perf_gtk__error_loops is updated with g_slist_prepend()/
g_slist_remove() in perf_gtk__error(), but perf_gtk__quit_error_dialog()
walks the same list from a signal handler (perf_gtk__signal() ->
perf_gtk__exit()) that can fire mid-update, corrupting the list.
Block the relevant signals around the two list updates.
