Description Pietro Gagliardi (andlabs) 2014-08-08 15:47:47 UTC 
Hi. Not sure if this is a bug in how GEGL's build system produces its documentation or with devhelp itself, but: running devhelp master on GEGL master's output .devhelp file causes devhelp to crash:

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0x00007ffff6378c6c in __GI___libc_free (mem=0x7fffffffd380) at malloc.c:2945

Removing the offending file causes devhelp to start up normally. I'm attaching the .devhelp file that GEGL gave me. I don't know how to fix this one myself (unlike the other bugs I've filed so far).

Thanks.

Hm, attachment creation failed because the source of the problem is that the devhelp file was empty. Updating title.

A new gegl/gobject/glib documentation with a GEGL operation gallery is live at http://gegl.org/operations.html type to search..
