[news.eclipse.platform.swt] Maximum number of objects when using Linux/G

[helene.chagnot@xxxxxxxxx (hortiz)]

Hi,

When creating a large amount of widgets in my SWT application, an error 
occurs and the following message is displayed:

(SWT:28652): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_closure_ref: assertion 
`closure->ref_count < CLOSURE_MAX_REF_COUNT' failed
#

I wrote this snippet to know if it was a problem concerning the huge 
number of created widgets:

package test;

import org.eclipse.swt.SWT;
import org.eclipse.swt.layout.GridLayout;
import org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Display;
import org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Shell;
import org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Text;

public class MaximumNumberOfTextWidgets {

	public static void main(String[] args) {

		int max = 100000;
		
		Display display = new Display();
		Shell shell = new Shell(display);
		shell.setLayout(new GridLayout());

		for (int i = 0; i < max; i++) {
			Text text = new Text(shell, SWT.NONE);
			text.setText(i+"");
			System.out.println(i);
		}

		shell.pack ();
		shell.open();
		while (!shell.isDisposed ()) {
			if (!display.readAndDispatch ()) display.sleep ();
		}
		display.dispose ();
	}
}

The same error occurs when i = 32763, which is really close to 2 power 15 
(32768). Does this mean that the number of widgets is limited to this 
value ? Do we have the possibility to increase this value ?

Thanks !
