Unexpected behavior

The cpg crashes during CXXExtraPass.

Code of interest

//typedef unsigned char u_int8_t;

int foo(const u_int8_t *p)
{
	u_int8_t *valp;
	*valp = (u_int8_t)*p;
	return 0;
}

Extensions to the library, e.g. added or changed LanguageFrontends or Passes

None

Changes to the configuration

$ cpg-neo4j poc.c

Description

The Language Node does not have a ctx (null) but is expected by LanguageProvider.objectType.

Where does the Language Node come from?
Is it expected to have a context?

It is magic and appears out of nowhere sometimes :D And yes it should have a context. I will have a look.
