[Vala] vte get_cursor_position error

[Anthony Taylor <tony paperdove org>]

Hey, folks,

There's a bug in vte.vapi, with get_cursor_position, at least in svn 
revision 1730. The current definition is:


        public void get_cursor_position (long column, long row);

It should be:

        public void get_cursor_position (out long column, out long row);

I'm still pretty new to Vala development, so I don't know exactly how 
this all fits together. So, a couple of (hopefully quick, hopefully 
not-too-naive) questions:

In the file "vte.gi", the method is defined thusly:

<method name="get_cursor_position"
               symbol="vte_terminal_get_cursor_position">
   <return-type type="void"/>
   <parameters>
       <parameter name="terminal" type="VteTerminal*"/>
       <parameter name="column" type="glong*"/>
       <parameter name="row" type="glong*"/>
   </parameters>
</method>


Both the column and row types are set to glong*. Shouldn't that get 
translated as an "out" parameter automatically? Or, is this just a 
matter of regenerating the vte.vapi file? (I've never done that, but I'm 
sure I can figure it out.)

Finally (and this is naive), how do I submit a patch, if one is required?

Thanks a bunch.
