Internal emitter error caused by yaml_emitter_set_output_string

[mzagrabe@…]

Greetings,

I am attempting to parse a yaml file in some C code and have most recently tried to use:

yaml_emitter_set_output_string

However after compiling and running the program I receive an internal emitter error.

Files attached:

yaml_error.c mzagrabe.yaml

compiled with:

gcc -c yaml_error.c && gcc -lyaml -o yaml_error yaml_error.o

command line:

% ./yaml_error mzagrabe.yaml

libyaml version:

Debian Sid

ii libyaml-0-1 0.1.1-1 ii libyaml-dev 0.1.1-1

If you want to parse a file, why are you using the emitter API? Are you trying to obtain the value of a scalar event by dumping the event into a string? If so, just use event.data.scalar.value, and event.data.scalar.length.
