The program below gets two errors

GLib-CRITICAL **: g_hash_table_lookup: assertion `hash_table != NULL' failed at /home/gg/bug/glib-sig-ret-undef/foo.pl line 44. [gperl_value_from_sv] FIXME: unhandled type - 0 ((null) fundamental for (null))

I think the first is gperl_fundamental_wrapper_class_from_type() called
when "wrapper_class_by_type" is NULL.  Is that supposed to be at least
possible?  Maybe when _gperl_sv_from_value_internal() gets a signal's
return value which is a new fundamental type from some C code, when
neither that new type nor anything else has ever yet told to
gperl_register_fundamental_full()?

That is not supposed to be possible. We're supposed to do all the type registration when loading the module, before any code using the things gets called. But you're also not supposed to pass around GValues with type G_TYPE_NONE, so far as i know. It makes me think something else is afoot. Try the fix below, first.



I think the second is because gperl_signal_class_closure_marshal() tries to gperl_value_from_sv() into a GValue which is G_TYPE_NONE. Dunno if a
return_value location like that is supposed to be allowed, but
gtk_binding_entry_activate() calls g_signal_emitv() that way.

That sounds like it could be a problem. We use the presence of a return value pointer to determine whether we're supposed to expect any return values, but here they've passed ... *brane asplode*

Try this: at the top of gperl_signal_class_closure_marshal(),

        if (return_value) {
                /* Try to cover for people doing strange things */
                if (G_TYPE_NONE == G_VALUE_TYPE (return_value))
                        return_value = NULL;
        }

This will cause return_value to be NULL later in the function where we decide what flags to pass to call_method(). G_VOID|G_DISCARD will cause the interpreter to toss anything returned from the subroutine so that we don't have to worry about it.
