Re: Reading from an InputStream

[Michael Fletcher <m fletcher theplanet ca>]

I had a bit of good luck and bad luck.

I managed to rebuild gobject-introspection with the following annotation 
on g_input_stream_read_async buffer.

Is this the correct way to map a void*?

(element-type guint8) (array length=count)

Anyways I was able to pass an array in.  I stepped into 
g_input_stream_read_async and it appears as though the buffer was passed 
into that function correctly.

That is where the good luck ended.

I have done *something* wrong because now I am getting a variety of 
errors and the variety leads me to believe some memory was overwritten.

It usually segfaults in malloc in whatever is called after read_async 
returns.
