I'm porting some code I wrote from procedural C to objective Vala and I'm looking for the Vala-way to implement a union. I'm using a union in C because I need a structure where one uin16_t and two uint8_t are aligned:
typedef struct { uint8_t lo; uint8_t hi; } WORD; typedef union { uint16_t reg16; WORD reg8; } REG; This way if I change reg8.hi's (or .lo's, for what matters) value, reg16changes automatically.Now, in Vala, as far as I have been able to find in the documentation (I just started studying Vala, coming from a C# background) there's no union keyword, and pointers are missing too. If there's no union-like thing in Vala, is there at least some way to make a built-in type referenceable (something like .NET's Int vs int)? I have a last resort solution, but it's rather inefficient, so I'd like to know if I can reproduce the original C code behaviour. -- nadir
