<p>Glib docs note on <code>g_fopen()</code>:</p>

<p>"Because file descriptors are specific to the C library on Windows, and a file descriptor is part of the FILE struct, the FILE* returned by this function makes sense only to functions in the same C library. Thus if the GLib-using code uses a different C library than GLib does, the FILE* returned by this function cannot be passed to C library functions like fprintf() or fread()."</p>

<p>But it is passed to <code>fwrite()</code> by Geany.</p>

<p>I presume <a href="https://github.com/eht16" class="user-mention">@eht16</a> ensures no C library problems when bundles are made, but anyone building it themselves may have an issue.</p>

<p>Should the <code>g_fopen()</code> be replaced by plain <code>fopen()</code>?  </p>

<p><a href="https://github.com/eht16" class="user-mention">@eht16</a>, Why was the <code>g_</code> version used in the first place since there is no matching <code>g_fwrite()</code>?</p>
