[Vala] Invalid C code in Interfaces

Hello again! I seem to have run into a case where valac generates incorrect C code. I'm sure what I am doing is wrong, but I assume that valac should emit the error and not gcc. When I try to compile this snippet, public interface IFace : Object { public G[] foobar() { G[] storage = new

[Vala] [PATCH] Moving functions between Classes in Metadata files

Hey! I've been working on binding chipmunk, a physics engine, for the past week and I've run into a bunch of snags. Chipmunk is not a glib library, and it doesn't exactly get parsed well by gen-introspect but it does a enough of a good job to get to generating a vapi file. The naming convention

So, I'm a little sick and tired of not being able to find a reference on the metadata file format used when binding a library, so I'm going to list what I know about it so far. Please amend/comment at will :) Just note that this list is very incomplete and only lists what I have used and/or found

Hey, The following code won't compile unless I create a flush() in Concrete, but I can't seem to access Entity.flush() at all, any way around this that doesn't involve making Entity a class? public interface Flushable : Object { public abstract void flush(); } public interface Entity : Objec

[Vala] HashTable.lookup should return "V?"

If I understand the entire "non-nullable" type concept of vala, then only variables with a "?" should be nullable at least in theory, correct? If that is the case, then I believe that HashTable.lookup should in fact return a "weak Texture?" as opposed to a "weak Texture" since if it can't find a k
