Description Areg Beketovski 2007-09-14 10:18:41 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
Documentation for the interface g_key_file_get_boolean_list states: "Returns the values associated with key under group_name as booleans. If group_name is NULL, the start_group is used.". But invocation of the interface with the parameter "group_name" = NULL returns with the following error message "GLib-CRITICAL **: g_key_file_get_boolean_list: assertion `group_name != NULL' failed".

Steps to reproduce:

        * glib/gkeyfile.c: Remove wrong documentation about start group
        handling.  (#476856, Areg Beketovski)
Comment 3 Eugene Shatokhin 2008-10-17 07:48:13 UTC 
The sentence "If group_name is NULL, the start_group is used" still remains in the description of g_key_file_get_double() and g_key_file_set_boolean_list()  in the reference for v.2.19.0. 

It seems that it is not intentional: there is no such requirement for all other functions from this group. Should it be removed from the docs?
