Dear Sirs and Mesdames, I am extremely interested in using Vala on embedded devices. I learned about Vala earlier this week and have spent a lot of time researching it, but I am still a complete newbie by all definitions. I apologize for any ignorant questions I may pose below.
To give you an idea of my target processors, take a look at the Microchip PIC32. Operating frequency: 40 - 80 MHz RAM: 4KB - 128KB Program memory: 16KB - 512KB I have been able to expose a portion of the PIC32 peripheral library to Vala 0.16.1 under the POSIX profile. This is a nice step, but I would really love to be able to use classes, even with single inheritance. The issue with using profiles other than the POSIX profile is the dependency on GLib, specifically, glib.h and glib-object.h. The dependencies within these files are: GType, g* numeric types, and g_* memory and object handling functions. My questions: What project should I be looking at? I've taken a look at the abandoned POSIX branch and a very brief look at the Dova branch. (https://gitorious.org/ideas/vala-codegen-posix) What is the bare minimum I will have to do to get classes to work? Is writing a bare-minimum GLib implementation plausible? In theory, I should be able to implement the direct dependencies listed above. Would this be sufficient? Thank you for your time, George Hahn.
