Hey guys,
I'm working off the latest tagged release of libgtksourceviewmm, which
is gtksourceviewmm-2.10.0, and noticing that there's a significant bug.
In the SourceLanguageManager, there's supposed to be a "guess_language"
function with the following implementation:
Glib::RefPtr<SourceLanguage> SourceLanguageManager::guess_language(const
Glib::ustring& filename, const Glib::ustring& content_type)
{
Glib::RefPtr<SourceLanguage> retvalue =
Glib::wrap(gtk_source_language_manager_guess_language(gobj(),
filename.c_str(), NULL));
if(retvalue)
retvalue->reference(); //The function does not do a ref for us.
return retvalue;
}
The semantics are supposed to be that you pass in both parameters, but only
one or the other are non-NULL (it doesn't know what to do if you specify
both or neither). However, if you actually try to call it with NULL for
either one of the two values, you fail with:
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::logic_error'
what(): basic_string::_S_construct NULL not valid
Whereas if you pass in an empty string instead, you fail differently with:
(algoviz:12581): GtkSourceView-CRITICAL **:
gtk_source_language_manager_guess_language: assertion `(filename == NULL ||
*filename != 0) && (content_type == NULL || *content_type != 0)' failed
I've confirmed that this is just a mapping error by replacing the
content_type.c_str() call with "NULL" directly in the source code, and it
worked fine after that. But I thought I'd point this bug out to the list,
since the function is pretty useless the way it is right now since it's
uncallable.
Cheers!
