[Vala] interfaces sharing methods

[Jarosław Ciupiński <kotowate gmail com>]

Hi,

Recently I run into a problem of interfaces sharing methods.

I have two interfaces that have method of the same name, same result, same
parameter list - it is done on purpose this way, so interfaces would
require such method to be implemented.

It compiles fine. But it crushes when run. I checked c code and found out
that although both interfaces are defined fine, when they are set up, only
one of them has shared method set up properly. Other one doesn't mention
the method (so it is either 0 or undefined, I didn't check that).

I would love to have it working by setting up shared method properly for
both interfaces (that would be great and would be another unique and useful
thing in vala), although disallowing that by throwing an error during
compilation could also be fine as you can work around it by creating third
interface and making it a prerequisite for both interfaces.

(I love vala for two reasons: 1 it is a language that makes lots of things
easier, 2 I have no problems with using same code under both Windows and
Linux - it is maybe worth mentioning that I work on a game and it isn't
main purpouse of vala creation and I don't know if it was considered as a
language for game creation).
