problem with GSList

1 New Member
First of all, I'd like to say that I'm fairly new to c programming.

I am trying to write a function which converts a string into a GSList. The string has the following format : "a_stuff_d_123. .." where the letters define the type of the GSList element to be created (a for string, d for integer. I only need these two types) and everything after "_" the value. For example, here the first element will be the "stuff" string, the second element will be the integer 123 and so on.
Here is what I've got so far:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. GSList * string_to_GSList(gchar* string){
  2.     char *temp;
  3.     GSList *l = NULL;
  4.  
  5.     temp = strtok(string, "_");
  6.     if(!strcmp(temp, "a")){
  7.         temp = strtok(NULL, "_");
  8.         l = g_slist_append(l, temp);
  9.     }
  10.     else if(!strcmp(temp, "d")){
  11.         temp = strtok(NULL, "_");
  12.         l = g_slist_append(l, GINT_TO_POINTER(atoi(temp)));
  13.     }
  14.     temp = strtok(NULL, "_");
  15.  
  16.     while( temp != NULL){
  17.         if(!strcmp(temp, "a")){
  18.             temp = strtok(NULL, "_");
  19.             l = g_slist_append(l, temp);
  20.  
  21.         }
  22.         else if(!strcmp(temp, "d")){
  23.             temp = strtok(NULL, "_");
  24.             l = g_slist_append(l, GINT_TO_POINTER(atoi(temp)));
  25.         }
  26.         temp = strtok(NULL, "_");
  27.     }
  28.     return l;
  29. }
And somewhere in my main function there is:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. strlist = strdup("a_one_d_1233_a_two_d_244_a_three_d_3_a_four_d_455_  a_five_d_566");
  2. list = string_to_GSList(strlist);
Well, the first time I call the fuction it works fine but after the second time using a different string for input it returns the same stuff as in the first call. I understand that I must reset the GSList l every time I call it, that's why I set it to NULL at the beggining.

Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.. :)

I'm having a problem on windows (both 2000 and XP) with a multi-threaded tkinter gui application. The problem appears to be a deadlock condition when a child thread pops up a Pmw dialog window in the context of a main window. The problem does not occur on HPUX or Linux. The following simple example code illustrates the problem and the work around I've come up with; However, I'd like, very much, to get rid of the kludgy work around....

I have a virtual function in a base class, which is then overwritten by a function of the same name in a publically derived class. When I call the function using a pointer to the derived class (ClassB* b; b->func(); ) the base-class function is called instead of the new function in the derived class. All other similar functions (virtual in the base class and overwritten in the the derived class) work fine, it's just this one function. ...

If I have a class with a virtual method, and a child class that overrides the virtual method, and then I create an instance of the child class AS A base class...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
