Thank you. I have filed a feature request.
Another question. :)
Is it possible to include multiple C header files by a vapi definition,
even though all the needed functions are defined in one of those header
files?
I created a vapi definition which looks like this:
[CCode (cprefix="XF86VidMode",
cheader_filename="X11/extensions/xf86vmode.h")]
namespace XF86VidMode {
...
}
But to compile correctly the C source file must have the following includes:
#include <X11/Xlib.h>
#include <X11/extensions/xf86vmode.h>
exactly in this order (Xlib.h first), even though I don't make any use
of Xlib.h functions.
PS: PolicyKit bindings would be great in the future. I would do it
myself but I'm not yet familiar enough with vapi and vala-gen-introspect.
Thank you for this great project! Vala is my portal to GNOME programming.
Regards,
Frederik
