Calling g_base_info_get_name on GI_INFO_TYPE_TYPE causes segfault

Submitted by Simon Feltman

Description

g_base_info_get_name uses a switch statement to dispatch based on the GITypeInfo of the object. In the case of GI_INFO_TYPE_TYPE, it is combined with the default case which uses g_assert_not_reached(). This seems like it breaks the object oriented conceptual model for the classes. I think any valid type should return something (even NULL).
