[Vala] Storing strings inside structs fails.

[Julian Andres Klode <jak jak-linux org>]

Hi,

storing a string inside a struct does not work.

If you compile the following Vala code:
    struct Item {
        public string uri;
    }

    public static void main() {
        var uri = "http://google.de";;
        Item item = {uri};

        stdout.printf("item.uri: %s\n", item.uri);
        stdout.printf("     uri: %s\n", uri);
    }

You will get C code like this (excerpt):
    void _main (void) {
        char* uri;
        Item item = {g_strdup (uri)};
        uri = g_strdup ("http://google.de";);

which means the item is created with the 'uri' member being set
to the result of calling g_strdup() on the uninitialized 'uri'
variable. The problem exists in Vala 0.7.6 and 0.7.5, I have not
tested older versions.
