Description Dennis Malcorps 2010-12-10 18:29:26 UTC
Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.5.4) 
OS:                Linux

There are two ways to add a new item to a KConfigSkeleton object.
1) create the item with one of KConfigSkeleton.ItemFoo constructors and call KConfigSkeleton.addItem(...)
2) using the convenience functions KConfigSkeleton.addItemFoo(...)

For primitive / immutable types (bool, int, uint, longlong, ulonglong, double, enum) only the second method works as expected. The first one returns random garbage. And as a bonus, if you try to load a value already stored in a config file using method 1, python segfaults...


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
>>> from PyKDE4 import kdecore
>>> reference = int()
>>> item = kdecore.KCoreConfigSkeleton.ItemInt('group', 'key', reference, 1234)
>>> item.value()


Actual Results:  
-1216966668


Expected Results:  
1234

Dear Bug Submitter,

This bug has been stagnant for a long time. Could you help us out and re-test if the bug is valid in the latest version? I am setting the status to NEEDSINFO pending your response, please change the Status back to REPORTED when you respond.

Thank you for helping us make KDE software even better for everyone!
