You have an abstract class ("basic_class") with a property ("some_var")
with a private setter. Since the setter is private, you can't override
it in another class. Changing the private setter to a protected setter
should resolve your issue.

That said, valac should really be generating an error rather than
generating invalid C. That is a bug.
