Re: [Vala] bah! protected indeed! Re: structs unions and types

[Sam Liddicott <sam liddicott com>]

Even defining it as an outer class makes vala think that it is private:

/* widgets is still private */
    public class window_widgets {
    Gtk.Widget blah;
    Gtk.Widget blah2;
    }

public class PhoneUIGlade : Gtk.Object {
    protected Glade.XML xml;
    public window_widgets widgets;
}

but if I go back to a struct, it "works" and for some reason isn't giving me incomplete class either.

    public struct window_widgets {
    Gtk.Widget blah;
    Gtk.Widget blah2;
    }

public class PhoneUIGlade : Gtk.Object {
    protected Glade.XML xml;
    public window_widgets widgets;
}

But if I change "public" to "protected" (below) the generated .h files are correctly exposing the protected members, but vala still complains that: Access to private member `window_widgets.blah' denied
if a subclass tries to access the widgets member.

    protected struct window_widgets {
    Gtk.Widget blah;
    Gtk.Widget blah2;
    }

public class PhoneUIGlade : Gtk.Object {
    protected Glade.XML xml;
    protected window_widgets widgets;
}

    private Module module;
}

Does not work; a subclass cannot access the protected member "widgets" with the error:
 error: Access to private member `PhoneUIGlade.window_widgets.blah' denied

Making the class and variable public do not work:

public class PhoneUIGlade : Gtk.Object {
    protected Glade.XML xml;
    public class window_widgets {
    Gtk.Widget blah;
    Gtk.Widget blah2;
    }
    public window_widgets widgets;
    private Module module;
}

aggghhhh
