Package: swig Version: 1.3.36-1 Severity: normal Tags: unreproducible This is a bug which makes libbuffy-perl unusable, but it seems to be swig's fault. It *could* also be a hardware or local problem as we fail to reproduce. However, I wanted to make sure there's a record of it.
When trying to use libbuffy-perl 0.8 (with buffycli), I get:

(Missing operator before the?)

Looking at /usr/lib/perl5/Buffy.pm, I notice that it's a weird
congolmerate between C and Perl, as if the two had been randomly
concatenated. Look at lines 625-694:

if (!type) return NULL;

Maybe Perl can do inline C, but the way it transitions just looks
wrong.
As Enrico puts it:
24 08:50 < enrico> madduck: yes, you can see the end of the perl
module ( "1;" ) and the rest looks like C stuff that was inside
a swig buffer
Simply removing everything after /^1;/ on line 626 makes the library
work. Sure seems like swig had a hickup.
