How to communicate between callbacks in gtk + c

I'm working on a project right now and I'm trying to make two callbacks with each other by passing the same variable to them (callbacks use the same variable). Since callbacks cannot return a value, I passed in a pointer to the value that is assigned in the main loop (main function). However, it doesn't work at all!

This is my code:

#include <gtk/gtk.h>

static void inc_val (GtkWidget *widget, gpointer data)
{
    int* value =  data;
    *value++;
    printf("value is: %d\n", *value);
}

static void inc_val_ten (GtkWidget *widget, gpointer data)
{
    int* value =  data;
    *value+=10;
    printf("value is: %d\n", *value);
}

static void activate (GtkApplication *app, gpointer user_data)
{
    GtkWidget *window;
    GtkWidget *grid;
    GtkWidget *button;
    int value = 0;

    window = gtk_application_window_new (app);
    gtk_window_set_title (GTK_WINDOW (window), "Window");
    gtk_container_set_border_width (GTK_CONTAINER (window), 10);

    grid = gtk_grid_new ();
    gtk_container_add (GTK_CONTAINER (window), grid);

    button = gtk_button_new_with_label ("Add 1 to value");
    g_signal_connect (button, "clicked", G_CALLBACK (inc_val), &value);
    gtk_grid_attach (GTK_GRID (grid), button, 0, 0, 1, 1);

    button = gtk_button_new_with_label ("Add 10 to value");
    g_signal_connect (button, "clicked", G_CALLBACK (inc_val_ten), &value);
    gtk_grid_attach (GTK_GRID (grid), button, 1, 0, 1, 1);

    button = gtk_button_new_with_label ("Quit");
    g_signal_connect_swapped (button, "clicked", G_CALLBACK (gtk_widget_destroy), window);
    gtk_grid_attach (GTK_GRID (grid), button, 0, 1, 2, 1);

    gtk_widget_show_all (window);
}

int main (int argc, char **argv)
{
    GtkApplication *app;
    int status;

    app = gtk_application_new ("org.gtk.example", G_APPLICATION_FLAGS_NONE);
    g_signal_connect (app, "activate", G_CALLBACK (activate), NULL);
    status = g_application_run (G_APPLICATION (app), argc, argv);
    g_object_unref (app);

    return status;
}

      

        
        
        
      

    

The program has 3 buttons in the window:

• adding 1 to value
• adding 10 to the value
• exit the program

The value is an integer in the main loop. When one of the buttons (first or second) is pressed, the value becomes larger (by 1 or ten) and the program prints the new value.

I ran the program and clicked buttons and what I have is:

value is: 46525384
value is: 46525384
value is: 46157330
value is: -830528646
value is: 56
value is: 10 

      

        
        
        
      

    

instead:

value is: 1
value is: 2
value is: 12
value is: 22
value is: 23
value is: 33

      

        
        
        
      

    

Does anyone know why this is happening?

Thanks for the help!

Edit: I tried the same, just instead of adding numbers to the value, I tried to add a button to the grid. Since the solution from the answer (on the question) worked with the previous code, I made the grid global.

So here's the new code:

#include <gtk/gtk.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>

GtkWidget *grid;

static void add_button (GtkWidget *widget, gpointer data)
{
    static int value = 0;
    GtkWidget* grid = data;
    value++;
    printf("attach to line %d\n", value);
    gtk_grid_attach(GTK_GRID(grid), gtk_button_new_from_stock(GTK_STOCK_NEW), 0, value, 1, 1);
}

static void activate (GtkApplication *app, gpointer user_data)
{
    GtkWidget *window;
    GtkWidget *button;

    window = gtk_application_window_new (app);
    gtk_window_set_title (GTK_WINDOW (window), "Window");
    gtk_container_set_border_width (GTK_CONTAINER (window), 10);

    grid = gtk_grid_new ();
    gtk_container_add (GTK_CONTAINER (window), grid);

    button = gtk_button_new_with_label ("Add Button");
    g_signal_connect (button, "clicked", G_CALLBACK (add_button), grid);
    gtk_grid_attach (GTK_GRID (grid), button, 0, 0, 1, 1);

    gtk_widget_show_all (window);
}

int main (int argc, char **argv)
{
    GtkApplication *app;
    int status;

    app = gtk_application_new ("org.gtk.example", G_APPLICATION_FLAGS_NONE);
    g_signal_connect (app, "activate", G_CALLBACK (activate), NULL);
    status = g_application_run (G_APPLICATION (app), argc, argv);
    g_object_unref (app);

    return status;
}

      

        
        
        
      

    

However, for some reason it didn't work. Help would be appreciated!
