The root cause of which is that on recent releases of GLib (recent
meaning 2.66 in the current Debian stable!) g_type_instance_get_private
looks in the wrong place for the private data. When running the script
in question it returned NULL and since the code didn't check for a valid
pointer, it crashed.
So this change replaces all calls to g_type_instance_get_private with
the function [type_prefix]_get_instance_private() added in glib-2.36
except for two register2 files that have been removed from master; those
are ignored to avoid unnecessary merge conflicts.
with the function/declaration that they substituted.
Note that this doesn't use the recommended new GObject creation macros
because the class names in libgnucash/engine don't follow the gnome
naming convention.
It is split into
- /libgnucash (for the non-gui bits)
- /gnucash (for the gui)
- /common (misc source files used by both)
- /bindings (currently only holds python bindings)
This is the first step in restructuring the code. It will need much
more fine tuning later on.
