Description Sjoerd Simons 2011-10-20 07:51:24 UTC 
If the factory is requested to prepare the _CAPABILITIES feature for contacts and there is a CM that doesn't implement ContactCapabilities then to retrieve the self handle on the connection the _CAPABILITIES feature on a connection needs to be prepared.

which is fine, except when it's not. iotw, when the requested contact is the self hndle which happens during the initial introspection for connections..

+    GQueue capabilities_queue;
I'd add a comment explaining what's stored in the queue and it's semantic.


+  if (rcc == NULL || rcc->len == 0)
+    return;

That means that if we have a contact not supporting anything we'll pretend that it doesn't have CONTACT_FEATURE_FLAG_CAPABILITIES prepared while it has.
Comment 2 Guillaume Desmottes 2011-10-24 07:44:09 UTC 
I merged a rebased version of your branch (yours was based on master and we base fix on stable) + one patch adding a comment. I also merged 0.16 into master.

Will be in 0.16.1.
