Thanks Dave, you put me on the right track.
This turned out to be a glitch with my development IDE (Code::Blocks).
g_assert() ends up calling g_log() which requires a pre-processor definition
called G_LOG_DOMAIN. In my case, G_LOG_DOMAIN needed to be a string -
namely, "glibmm" (including the quote marks).
To set this up for my gcc compiler, the IDE needs to send this:-
g++ [various options] -DG_LOG_DOMAIN=\"glibmm\"
However, that doesn't seem to work for cygwin. I need to set it up slightly
differently - namely:-
g++ [various options] -DG_LOG_DOMAIN="\"glibmm\""
So, probably not a problem with Cygwin. More likely a problem with
Code::Blocks. I probably need to flag it up to them.
Thanks again,
John

Thanks Phil,
That sounds very plausible but I'm not sure it's right in this case.
I'm pretty sure of it. The only thing that can cause that compiler error
is
characters between the backslash and the newline.
I
only have 2 copies of glib.h on my system and I'm pretty sure they came
with the Cygwin installation. I looked at both of them in a hex editor
and they seem to have Unix style line-endings.
I can't make your testcase compile here. You didn't show the command
line
but without some kind of -I option it's not going to even find glib.h, and
without you showing the command line we don't know which one or from
where.
The next step in investigating would be to compile it again, adding the
"--save-temps" flag, so you get a copy of the preprocessed output in a .i
file. Then check /that/ for EOLs of the wrong type, maybe using something
like
tail -20 *.i | od -c
and looking out for "\r"s. (I chose "-20" as a guess, just to get the
pre-processed version of my_func and skip out most of the #include headers
and
other irrelevancies that end up in the preprocessed output).
cheers,
DaveK
