[Vala] difference between using IntegerType and inheriting

Hi again: Another doubt I have is: what is the difference between doing: [SimpleType] [IntegerType (rank = 9)] [CCode (cname = c_name, has_type_id = false)] public struct StructName { } and [SimpleType] [CCode (cname = c_name, has_type_id = false)] public

[Vala] var + unowned

Hi all: I'm creating a VAPI, and one of the constructors is defined as: public static unowned Icccm new(Xcb.Connection conn) { unowned Xcb.Icccm.Icccm retval = (Xcb.Icccm.Icccm)conn; return retval; } The idea is to create an Icccm object that is, in fact, a

Why isn't that document linked in the Vala's page? (at least, I didn't found it). It looks very useful. El 28/12/13 04:59, Andre Masella escribió: Probably best to link to the legacy VAPI guide: https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/Vala/LegacyBindings On 27 December 2013 15:43, rastersoft ras

[Vala] add methods to a compact class from outside the main definition in a VAPI file

Hi all: I'm working on the XCB VAPI files, and I have a problem. XCB is subdivided in several parts: the core X protocol, utility functions and extensions. The core protocol creates a compact class, Connection, which represents a xcb_connection_t structure, and all the functions for the XCB

[Vala] Dynamic load in execution time

Hi all: I was wondering if Vala allows (or will allow in a near future) to load a .so during execution time (not in load time, like currently does) and access its methods and classes as usual, instead of having to work with function pointers and so on. I ask this because I want to adapt a
