[Bug 1214352] Re: GUINT32/64_SWAP_LE_BE macros do not enclose val argument in parentheses

[Dave Kokandy]

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better. However, I am closing it because the bug has been fixed
in Trusty Tahr, Utopic Unicorn, and the development release, Vivid
Vervet.  If upgrading is an option, please know that upgrading to Trusty
(Ubuntu 14.04 - also an LTS) will fix this issue for you.

The fix for this bug appears to have been released in GLib 2.35.9,
according to this:
http://upstream.rosalinux.ru/changelogs/glib/2.40.0/changelog.html -
Newer versions of glib are available in official repositories of Trusty,
Utopic, and Vivid.

If you would like to request a fix for the bug in previous versions of
Ubuntu, please perform as much as possible of the SRU Procedure [1] to
bring the need to a developer's attention. Please be advised, it may not
be possible to push an update a component like this due to regression
potential.

[1]: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates#Procedure

The Stable Release Update Procedure is the proper method to bring these
requests to developers. Please refrain from posting complaints that bugs
are not fixed to the developer mailing lists. Please read our suggested
bug reporting etiquette [2].

Bug description:
  On 12.04 LTS precise GUINT32/64_SWAP_LE_BE macros do not enclose val argument in parentheses, causing trouble down the stack in gvfs and LibreOffice (and possibly in lots of obscure bugs elsewhere).
  There is a patch available, but as this touches the header, it needs a full recompile of rdepends.
