I actually have an example of this that I ran into today... for
libuuid. It seems to inject too many parameters. When I declare:
[CCode(lower_case_cprefix="uuid_")]
public static void generate(out char[16] new_uuid);
I call this in Vala like so:
char[16] uuid;
LibUUID.generate(out uuid);
When called, Vala writes:
gint uuid_length1;
gchar *uuid;
uuid_generate(&uuid, &uuid_length1);
I would expect that it would generate:
gchar uuid[16];
uuid_generate(&uuid);
Or maybe even:
gchar *uuid;
uuid = g_malloc0(16);
uuid_generate(&uuid);
Either way, it understands that the function takes a reference to a
16-byte buffer, and I am telling it (I think) that this is an invariant
number. Am I doing something wrong, or is this a bug?
