That was the solution: mark the fields as unowned. Thanks!!! El 13/12/13 09:18, Luca Bruno escribió: On 12/12/2013 23:52, rastersoft wrote: BTW: The whole VAPI file is this: using Xcb; [CCode (lower_case_cprefix = "xcb_icccm_", cheader_filename = "xcb/xcb_icccm.h")]

[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

of either class). The other option is to use static methods. Remember, you can nest namespaces, so you can do something like namespace Icccm { public static void foo (Xcb.Icccm self); } -Evan On Tue, 2013-12-17 at 23:50 +0100, rastersoft wrote: Hi all: I'm w

[Vala] VAPI tutorial

Hi all: I wrote a little VAPI writing tutorial to help people to start writing VAPI files for libraries. I put it at https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/Vala/WrittingVAPIs Of course it is incomplete, and is possible that it has mistakes, so I accept all kind of suggestions and fixes. -- Nos le

[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 Xcb.Connectio

[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 st

[Vala] several pkg-config libraries for a single VAPI file

Hi all: I'm working on a vapi file for xcb_render, and I need to put into it one function from xcb_renderutils. The problem is that each one needs a different library (xcb-render and xcb-renderutils). Is it possible to make valac to pass both to pkg-config from a single VAPI file? Thanks. -

[Vala] bug in IOChannel.read_line and add_watch

Hi all: I found a bug in IOChannel.read_line: when the line to read ends in \r and there are no more characters after it, the iochannel can't read more chars, nor send more IN DATA AVAILABLE events from an add_watch. In fact, it seems to lock the gtk main loop. I attach a code that triggers
