Commit Message

If run with --success, all expressions are evaluated and printed out.
But REQUIRE_FALSE(chip) tries to iterate over the chip resulting in this
backtrace:
#0  gpiod_chip_num_lines (chip=chip@entry=0x0) at ../../lib/core.c:235
#1  gpiod_line_iter_new (chip=0x0) at ../../lib/iter.c:140
#2  gpiod::(anonymous namespace)::make_line_iter (chip=0x0) at ../../../bindings/cxx/iter.cpp:29
#3  gpiod::line_iter::line_iter (this=0x7fffffffd690, owner=...) at ../../../bindings/cxx/iter.cpp:109
#4  Catch::rangeToString<gpiod::chip> (range=...) at /usr/include/catch2/catch.hpp:1959
[...]

Workaround by forcing catch2 to call gpiod::chip::operator bool().

This actually looks like a flaw in the binding itself that the
gpiod::line_iter can't cope with an empty gpiod::chip.

Do you want to submit a patch that fixes that? Otherwise I can fix it.
I think that simply throwing an exception on empty chip is enough,
right?

Reading that backtrace today, the actual problem is gpiod_chip_num_lines deferencing the nullptr.
There are 2 possibilities:
* if gpiod_chip is NULL in gpiod_line_iter_new(), return NULLL iter as well (which will raise an exception on line iter.cpp:31)
* return an iter with num_lines = 0

Can't rate the 2nd one if this will raise other problems.

Best regards,
Alexander

Hardening of argument validation in the core library (checking of
NULL-pointers, etc.) has been on my TODO list for some time now. It
seems I'll finally have to do it.

Thanks for the patches, all applied!
