Excellent. I haven't looked at the Vala code or done a --help in a while. I was just returning to a project I hadn't worked on in months when the null thing donned on me again. The --enable-non-null-experimental runs Vala.NullChecker as a last stage before code generation. Unfortunately right now all reference data types have the nullable attribute set to true so check_compatible() exits before reporting any errors. Reference types have their nullable set true by the symbol resolver. That must be a fast and loose fix for development because it really looks like vala is headed towards static checks. AFAICT, having nullable set correctly should make this come together. By commenting out the nullable=true line in the symbol resolver I got the following warning when trying to assign a Foo? to a Foo. nullable.vala:8.6-8.7: warning: `Foo?' incompatible with `Foo' Which is a good sign. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. -Sam Danielson _______________________________________________ Vala-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/vala-list
