Re: [gnome-db] [Vala] Gda GdaSet vapi error

[Daniel Espinosa <esodan gmail com>]

May we need to review GDA's API in order to make it more GObject-Introspection and Vala friendly.

We need to add functions that helps to use Vala in an easy way, avoiding var_list or so kind of functions. And may we need to mark unbindingable functions with (skip) annotation[1].

You need to add something like :

gda_set_set_holder_value ellipsis="1"

to the metadata file (and regenerate the vapi). I'm not sure it will
work as there is no fixed convention for varargs methods throwing
errors, but I think this is your best bet.
