• Printing with Gtk runs but produces only empty pages

    From ldries46@21:1/5 to All on Tue Jan 24 17:01:38 2023
    I am trying to crate a Gtk print procedure,
    From the point I start creating Print_Op and Print_Set the code I use is:

             Print_Op := new Gtkada_Print_Operation_Record;
             Gtkada.Printing.Initialize (Print_Op);
             Gtk_New(Print_Set);
             Set_Current_Page (Print_Op, 1);
             Number := long_float(last_line) / long_float(delta_lines);
             Number := long_float'Ceiling(Number);
             nr_Pages := Gint(Number);
             Set_N_Pages (Print_Op, nr_Pages + 1);

    I just put a breakpoint at the line after Set_N_Pages. I also found the following parameters. If I delete the + 1 in the last line get message
    that possily point to adres 0*0

    nr                 100
    delta_lines    56
    last_line         14
    nr_Pages          1

    On the Debugging Console I got the following messages:

    (gdb) show lang
    &"show lang\n"
    ~"The current source language is \"auto; currently ada\".\n"
    ^done
    (gdb)
    ptype &Print_Op
    &"ptype &Print_Op\n"
    ~"type = access access new
    gtk.print_operation.gtk_print_operation_record with record null; end
    record\n"
    ^done
    (gdb)
    -data-evaluate-expression "Print_Op"
    ^done,value="0xf8eb730"
    (gdb)
    (

    The folowing code is:

             Set_Use_Full_Page(Print_Op, true);
             Set_Unit (Print_Op, points);
             Print_Op.Set_Print_Settings(Print_Set);
             On_Draw_Page(Print_Op, Draw);
             Result := Connect_and_Run(Print_Op ,Action_Print_Dialog, Main_Window);

    The overall result is that the program does not show a failure but also
    does not print any thing except an empty page.
    As I try to debug something not all parameters displayed in the
    variables window when I am running the debugger.

    Can anyone tell me wher to find a working example?

    The problem is solved by rearranging the program and because the
    debugger in GNAT 23.0W works not correctl. Only one problem has not been
    solved see a new question
