Re: [Vala] patch to add read/write to FileStream

[Sam Liddicott <sam liddicott com>]

In the definition use a default parameter:

..., int nmemb = 1)...

Which means if the caller code doesn't supply a value then vala fills in a 1.

The below patch adds read/write to FileStream:

        [CCode (lower_case_cprefix = "g_file_", cheader_filename =
"glib/gstdio.h")]


Question:  is there any way I can always set nmemb=1 so the caller
does not have to set that variable?  In vala, I would just do:

read(buf), instead of read(buf, 1)


Thanks,
Cliff
