GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 631158
all applications using py-gobject (w/o introspection support) crash (fix included)
Last modified: 2010-12-19 09:23:17 UTC
Created attachment 171557 [details] [review] Uncrash All applications that use the latest py-gobject, iff compiled without introspection support crash. This is due to a wrong return of pygi_get_property_value(). If g-o-i is enabled, that function returns NULL or a PyGobject. If g-o-i is not enabled, it returned -1, which actually triggers a compiler warning: ../gi/pygi.h:155: warning: return makes pointer from integer without a cast There is a full backtrace available in the rednotebook report, which shows that actually python crashes in . (https://bugs.launchpad.net/rednotebook/+bug/652006) Attached is a patch which lets applications run again.
I can confirm I was seeing the same kind of crash on rhythmbox and meld and this patch fixes all.
Thanks, fixed in git.
