public delegate void Maman.InstanceCallback ();

class Maman.Bar : GLib.Object {
        void do_instance_action () { }
        static void main (string[] args) {
                var bar = new Bar ();

[Conditional (condition = "CONDITION")]
public void some_conditional_method () {
}

This method will be ignored unless you pass -D CONDITION to valac.

interface Foo {
        public abstract int bar (int x)
                requires (x > 0)
                ensures (result > 0);
}
