Description Matěj Cepl 2015-05-20 16:02:48 UTC 
Description of problem:
Simple macros seem to be completely broken via GObject-introspection. This simple script (and the equivalent in ipython)

    #!/usr/bin/gjs
    const GLib = imports.gi.GLib;

    print("The dir sep is - ", GLib.DIR_SEPARATOR_S);
    print("The search path sep is - ", GLib.SEARCHPATH_SEPARATOR_S);

gives very weird results:

    matej@mitmanek: ~$ gjs test_sep.js
    The dir sep is -  \
    The search path sep is -  ;
    matej@mitmanek: ~$ uname -a
    Linux mitmanek 3.10.0-251.el7.rhel72drm5.x86_64 #1 SMP Wed May 13 17:31:13 EDT 2015 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
glib2-2.42.2-2.el7.kalev0.x86_64
gobject-introspection-1.42.0-1.el7.x86_64


How reproducible:
100%

This is just a downstream record of the upstream bug reprodeceable in
