Description Ingo Saitz 2015-05-26 14:10:00 UTC 
Gnumeric closed down on me while sorting some data. The only reason I could find was this line in .xsession-errors:

ERROR:value.c:1363:value_compare_real: code should not be reached

Which left me pondering if this case rally could not be reached. value_compare_real() might be called with 2 different cells, which both contain VALUE_EMPTY as type, so the trivial case in line 1345 would not apply.

I had multiple files open and was running gnumeric for some time, also used the same sorting settings at least once ago successfully and some others also regularily, so I don't know how to reproduce this in a reliable way.

(All line numbers are from git tag GNUMERIC_1_12_22)
Comment 1 Morten Welinder 2015-05-26 17:22:29 UTC 
value_new_empty returns a singleton, so the trivial case would apply.
