I guess you are correct Krzysztof. Making the 'add_node_to_recolor_wheel' function empty stops Inkscape from crashing. So the problem has to lie in the casting. I have also tried :

RecolorWheelPrivate *priv;

priv = G_TYPE_INSTANCE_GET_PRIVATE (wheel, RECOLOR_TYPE_COLOR_WHEEL,

RecolorWheelPrivate);

// followed by the code (priv->nodes).insert( std::pair<std::string,RecolorWheelNode>(name,node) );

but this again leads to a crash.

Finally, atleast the brickwall is clear to us. Now all we need is a road roller :)
so the function crashing Inkscape is:

void add_node_to_recolor_wheel (RecolorWheel *wheel, std::string name, RecolorWheelNode node)

{

RecolorWheelPrivate *priv = (RecolorWheelPrivate*) (wheel->priv);

(priv->nodes).insert( std::pair<std::string,RecolorWheelNode>(name,node) );

}

These are the two functions:

void add_node_to_recolor_wheel (RecolorWheel *wheel, std::string name, RecolorWheelNode node)

{
RecolorWheelPrivate *priv = (RecolorWheelPrivate*) (wheel->priv);

(priv->nodes).insert( std::pair<std::string,RecolorWheelNode>(name,node) );
}

void remove_node_to_recolor_wheel (RecolorWheel *wheel, std::string name)
{

RecolorWheelPrivate *priv = (RecolorWheelPrivate*) wheel->priv;

std::map<std::string,RecolorWheelNode>::iterator iter;
iter = priv->nodes.find(name);

priv->nodes.erase( iter );
}

This is a forced cast. Change this to GObject casts, e.g.

RecolorWheel *wheel = RECOLOR_WHEEL(RECOLOR_WHEEL_SELECTOR(rsel)->getWheel());

This way if you made a mistake here, you'll get a runtime warning.

The problem might also be inside this function.
