gsettings tool: fix a memory error (1.20 KB, patch)
2012-02-02 15:50 UTC, Allison Karlitskaya (desrt) 		committed Details | Review

Description Sebastien Bacher 2012-02-02 15:46:25 UTC 
Using glib 2.31.14, try "gsettings set org.gnome.gedit.preferences.encodings auto-detected "[]""

it prints a bunch of gvariant errors and a "can not parse as value of type `(null)'"

introduced here: http://git.gnome.org/browse/glib/commit/?id=8852d4e9a08e7fbc9df7fb99a54b112f5049ee19

'type' is used after free, causing the parser to have invalid behaviour.

gsettings tool: fix a memory error

8852d4e9a08e7fbc9df7fb99a54b112f5049ee19 introduced a memory error by
taking the type of a GVariant, freeing the GVariant and using the type
after the free.

This delays the free until after we've used the type.
