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

[Daniel Espinosa <esodan gmail com>]

Bug #639472 was commited. Now libgda-4.2.7 have non-varargs version functions. Is time to update vapi for 4.2, could any say me how to do it using GIR generated file?

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.
