I'm not sure I understand your problem, in the example register_plugin takes a TypeModule as parameter but from what I see in the error message, your init_module doesn't take any parameter, and that's what valac is saying. > > Can someone please tell me what the expected usage of > [ModuleInit] would be? a [ModuleInit] function is called by the application when a plugin is loaded. It should have at least a TypeModule argument so that the plugin types can be registered dinamically. (It generally returns the type of the main plugin class for the application to create an instance, but that's not mandatory : the application can find it out from e.g. the plugin description file if there is one).
