Camel-1.2.gir.xz (100.22 KB, application/x-xz)

Description Milan Crha 2016-10-05 15:55:41 UTC 
Created attachment 336996 [details]
Camel-1.2.gir.xz

Using gobject-introspection-1.48.0-1.fc24.x86_64 and passing to it the attached Camel-1.2.gir causes a crash of:

   $ g-ir-compiler --includedir=. --debug --verbose Camel-1.2.gir \
        -o Camel-1.2.typelib

with error:

ERROR:girepository/girparser.c:343:state_switch: assertion failed: (ctx->state != newstate)

with no hint what's going on. The command is run in the camel/ folder of the evolution-data-server checkout [1].

I'd like to fix the .gir file, or better the sources to not generate a .gir file which confuses the g-ir-compiler, but as there is absolutely no hint on the place, it's really hard to do it.

Note that building vala bindings from the same .gir file works.

Comment 1 Milan Crha 2016-12-09 10:08:10 UTC 
Just for the record, the problem was with this definitions:

struct _CamelCipherValidity {
	GQueue children;

	struct {
		CamelCipherValiditySign status;
		gchar *description;
		GQueue signers;	/* CamelCipherCertInfo's */
	} sign;

	struct {
		CamelCipherValidityEncrypt status;
		gchar *description;
		GQueue encrypters;	/* CamelCipherCertInfo's */
	} encrypt;
};

when I name the two inner structures (as _sign and _encrypt respectively), then it creates the typelib properly. Some better debugging for line numbers and such would be useful.
