are you talking about 'naked' functions? They are not supported and it has been discussed to not implement them, because like inlining asm, it is a bad design language. and implementing asm as a whole function is the same than writing a .S file. which is obviously not a .C :) I found nice to embed other langs for hacking or fun, but it is a bad design rule. breaks portability and makes the code uglier. So C is not portable, and Vala plans to be, because it's based on GLIB and other portable C libraries. If you embed C in your program is probably because you need to do something specific for your system or sthg not yet vapied. --pancake _______________________________________________ Vala-list mailing list Vala-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/vala-list
