Found it. The GTK build script includes this (massively cut down):
//build_pgtk.pike
void main()
{
add_constant( "Function", class { } );
program output_plugin = (program)"doc-pikeref.pike";
}
//doc-pikeref.pike
protected string trim_xml( string what )
{
object p = Parser.XML.Tree.parse_input(what);
}
Some change in the past month or so meant that this causes a big fat
noisy segfault at some point where Parser.XML.Tree tries to use
something from the Function module, and all hell breaks loose. I've
fixed it by renaming the class (it's entirely within the GTK build
process, so that shouldn't have any ill effects), but it's curious
that this can cause Pike to actually segfault.
Anyway, the gtk2-drag-drop branch is now C89 compliant, so far as I
can tell. If I don't hear any objections, I'll merge it - can always
revert if something horrific happens.
