public void foo ([CCode (array_length_type = "size_t")] int[] bar); Generally array_length_type is used for bindings... if you just need to use a C library which uses size_t you can just do something like the above in your vapi and it will work perfectly. Lots of bindings use this since the type used for the array length in C is so inconsistent (often even within the same library). If you want libraries you write in Vala to expose size_t as the array length parameter, you can still do it but you will occasionally have to work around issues caused by Vala thinking the variable is an int (although it will be generated as size_t). That wouldn't be too difficult, though... certainly less work than writing everything in C. > > pancake: sorry for sending messed up message :-) > > On Thu, Nov 18, 2010 at 10:53 PM, pancake <[email protected]> wrote: > > > Vala should handle this correctly.
