Re: [Vala] Rv: C to Vala
If I understand correctly, that approach requires an intermediate bytecode either from Java or from .NET to finally create sourcecode. Alas, in the OP's case the best we can get would be native machine code (being different for x64, i386, arm, etc) so the parser wouldn't be able to stick to one static 'syntax', even if it would support Vala as an output. I'm guessing here, but: If it's possible to automatically generate vapi's out of g-object-based libraries, then a similar tool might be able to create vala-code out of g-object-based sourcecode. But I'm really just guessing here, not knowing anything about the effort behind it. At least the need for such a tool (that turns C-code into Vala just before C-code is generated again) proves that vala is a favourable language :) Interesting though that XMLVM can create Objective-C-code.

Re: [Vala] Rv: C to Vala
Doing some research, i found something relevant: http://razum.si/automagical/ It's not the same, but uses the same principle i've thought, declaring some rules about when finding a class declaration, translate; etc. Shouldn't be that hard, for a good declarative programmer (i'm not one, not even a coder). No bytecode needed, for i wasn't talking about decompiling. The idea is, given a C code with total use of GLib, can that be translated to Vala code? I wonder if there is some real problem holding back that possibility.

[Vala] deleting folders
Hello everyone!
GLib.File provides a 'delete' method to delete files and empty folders.
I need to delete a non empty folder so I thought of a recursive method
like this:
bool remove_directory (string path) {
bool flag = false;
var directory = File.new_for_path (path);
var enumerator = directory.enumerate_children (
FileAttribute.STANDARD_NAME, 0
);
FileInfo file_info;
while ((file_info = enumerator.next_file ()) != null) {
if ((file_info.get_file_type ()) == FileType.DIRECTORY) {
/*
What should I do here?
How can I get a File from a FileInfo so I can use the
'delete' method on it?
*/
}
}
return flag;
}
Best regards,
D.H. Bahr

Re: [Vala] deleting folders
You obviously can't, but you can do the following:
string file_name = file_info.get_name ();
var file = directory.get_child (file_name);
And after that, you can call file.delete().
Regards,
Victor.

Re: [Vala] deleting folders
My last message was incomplete. I meant that you can't get a GLib.File directly
from a GLib.FileInfo object, but you can do it using the way I suggested.
Hope this helps.

Hi,
Victor has already given you the answer - you have to use the parent
directory's get_child method.
If you want, you can consult my Emperor file manager's deletion code
at
https://github.com/tjol/emperor/blob/master/src/modules/basic_actions/basic_actions.vala#L256
As this is a GUI file manager, the code is more complex - it uses
asynchronous methods, asks the user for confirmation, and does error
handling. The core loop, equivalent to what you've been writing, is
here:
https://github.com/tjol/emperor/blob/master/src/modules/basic_actions/basic_actions.vala#L348
