Hi folks,

I found a possible issue with changes done on utils_string_replace-*
functions i've added a workaround to geanysendmail with svn r2214.

I was digging a bit and I guess I found the smoking gun. Unfortunately
I'm not 100 sure how to fix it without breaking anything.

This is what I found:

/* Replaces @len characters from offset @a pos.
  * len can be -1 for str->len.
  * returns: pos + strlen(replace). */
gint utils_string_replace(GString *str, gint pos, gint len, const gchar 
*replace)
{
        g_string_erase(str, pos, len);
        g_string_insert(str, pos, replace);

        return pos + strlen(replace);
}

is not checking whether replace is != NULL so its failing with a
segfault. I was able to reproduce it on geanysendmail with this
backtrace:

     #0  0x00000000004b9bd4 in utils_string_replace (str=0x31518c0, pos=117, 
len=2,
         replace=0x0) at ../src/utils.c:1561
     #1  0x00000000004b9c6b in utils_string_replace_all (haystack=0x31518c0,
         needle=0x7fffe7b3e68c "%r", replace=0x0) at ../src/utils.c:1588
     #2  0x00007fffe7b3d619 in send_as_attachment (menuitem=0xb692c0, gdata=0x0)
         at ../geanysendmail/src/geanysendmail.c:152
     #3  0x00007ffff5d1de7e in g_closure_invoke () from 
/usr/lib/libgobject-2.0.so.0
     #4  0x00007ffff5d2f8d7 in ?? () from /usr/lib/libgobject-2.0.so.0
     #5  0x00007ffff5d38d05 in g_signal_emit_valist ()
        from /usr/lib/libgobject-2.0.so.0
     #6  0x00007ffff5d38ed3 in g_signal_emit () from 
/usr/lib/libgobject-2.0.so.0

However. I'd add a g_return_val_if_fail (replace != NULL, pos); but not
sure whether this will break anything. Opinions?

Cheers,
Frank

The caller should be fixed, passing NULL makes no sense at all.

Best regards.
