Hello. In Vala, derived class and implemented interfaces are defined the same say, like in C#. As this way there is no syntactical difference, C# convention states that interface names always start with "I". For example, interface Foo would have name IFoo in C#. However, there is no such convention in GLib or Vala, so the distinction is not quite obvious, which can cause problems.
I was thinking it wouldn't be such a bad idea to inherit a Java solution for this problem, that being keywords that clearly specify, what the parent class is and what the implemented interfaces are. Example: public class Child extends Parent implements Interface1, Interface2 { } Or a hybrid syntax (I'd like that more): public class Child: Parent, implements Interface1, Interface2 { } public class Child: implements Interface1 { } Alternatively, it could be also good to explicitly add the "interface" keyword in front of every interface in the list: public class Child: Parent, interface List, interface Clonable { } public class Child: interface List { } What do you think? _______________________________________________ Vala-list mailing list Vala-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/vala-list
