[Vala] is there a valgrind-like tool specific to Vala ?

I mentioned earlier on this mailing list a problem ("segmentation fault": usually the sign of a memory allocation gone wrong) which occurs when merely substituting isalnum() for issspace () in a simplistic scanner, see: http://mail.gnome.org/archives/vala-list/2011-June/msg00062.html This sim

[Vala] Problem with Posix.isspace() : Memory leak ?

In the code hereunder, in the while loop (simple scanner), when I substitute !isalnum() by Posix.isspace(), the application crashes when given a very large text file (170 MB) as argument. Yet it works with !isalnum() instead of isspace(). Also it the application does not crash in either cases whe

[Vala] Does Vala have a command-line documentation tool like pydoc or godoc ? (Not a HTML doc generator like valadoc)

Does Vala have a command-line documentation tool like pydoc or godoc ? which could instantly list all the methods associated with a given class or module ? (I am not talking about HTML doc generators like Javadoc, Valadoc etc ...) Alternatively, is there an autocomplete plugin for Vim or Emacs.

[Vala] Unused imports do not generate warnings

External library declarations such as: using Gee; do not generate a warning when said library is unused I was surprised by this fact. If a lot of modifications have been done to a piece of code, a lot of unused : "using" ... might be left around. Serge.

[Vala] Question about valadoc (Newbie question)

Hi there, I just installed vala, valac and valadoc. I tried to use valadoc to generate the documentation from the vala classes which make up the code of vala (the one which come with the compiler). What exact options (apart from the path to the directory containing the core vala sources) should
