Why not something like this:
[CCode (cheader_filename = "rados/librados.h", cname = "rados_create2")]
public static int from_config (out ClusterClient? client, string?
cluster_name, string? user_name, Flags flags);
Vala will ensure `client` is null before calling this function, if the
result is a failure, `client` will be null. It's owned, so the
`rados_shutdown` will be called. If you want it to look like a return:
[CCode (cname="g_io_error_from_errno")]
private int _g_io_error_from_errno(int errno);
[CCode (cheader_filename = "rados/librados.h", cname = "rados_create2")]
private static int _from_config (out ClusterClient? client, string?
cluster_name, string? user_name, Flags flags);
public static ClusterClient? from_config(string? cluster_name, string?
user_name, Flags flags) throw GLib.IOError {
ClusterClient? result;
int code;
if ((code = _from_config(out result, cluster_name, user_name, flags)) <
0) {
throw new Error(IOError.quark(), _g_io_error_from_errno(-code), "%s",
GLib.strerror(-code));
}
return (owned) result;
}
This requires depending on gio-2.0.
Also, Flags should probably be an enum.
