[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

When I type 'C-c , J' (semantic-ia-fast-jump) in a buffer (c-mode, with file tree.def from GCC source tree), I get the following message.

semanticdb-find-translate-path-default: Wrong type argument: stringp, nil

if the buffer has fundamental-mode:

semantic-ctxt-current-symbol-default: Wrong type argument: syntax-table-p, nil

With which version of Emacs and/or CEDET?

no, 

maybe some special c files with complex marco definition, such as *.def file in gcc.

e.g. gimple.def sent as attachments.

This seems to be the same issue as #10343, which I've recently fixed in
Emacs trunk. Could you please test again with latest Emacs from bzr?
