Re: [Vala] The future of Vala

I consider myself a Vala user and I'd also welcome a donate-button if it really helps the project. Hadn't there been Vala, I most probably wouldn't get in touch with all the glib stuff as a developer. C and CPP take too much effort to gain the same goals. C# is beautiful but still wastes CPU

Re: [Vala] 2 questions on valac in msys2

Re: [Vala] request to add another example to Projects/Vala/ListExample

Hi, just want to say that this is some precious info that I needed to learn yet. As a C#-guy I wonder from a "user's" point of view: If List implies strdup(), wouldn't it be consistent to automatically compare with strcmp() upon removing, too? Or am I making dangerous assumptions that are not

Re: [Vala] Is there any usable editor for Vala?

Hi Matthias, hi Jonathan, here's a version of valencia-0.8 that I applied the patches for gedit >=3.12 on [1]. I got the patches from here [2]. The only additional change I applied to the code, is to make the jump-forth and jump-back feature work with the Alt_R-key (Alt_Gr+Left, Alt_Gr+Right).

[Vala] Nest ncurses in a Gtk window?

Hi list, sorry to ask if this has been answered before, I might have chosen the wrong terms while searching. Is it possible to nest curses into a Gtk.Window? I was thinking of cascading it into a Vte and put that into a Gtk.Window but my thoughts kind of got stuck how to approach correctly in

[Vala] Pass params through threads_add_idle()

Hi all, I'm trying to pass a parameter to a function that I call through threads_add_idle(). But threads_add_idle() obviously accepts only a SourceFunc. I can't pick up the data from a global variable. So I tried using closures from where I'd pass the needed parameter:   private void

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

Hi Karsten, this is happening, because you left out the third field in each entry of your array, which corresponds to the option flags: http://developer.gnome.org/glib/2.28/glib-Commandline-option-parser.html#GOptionFlags I pasted your code here and had a close look on the compiler's output.
