Re: [Vala] Bad C code generation (lvalue required as unary '&' operand)

[yannick inizan <inizan yannick gmail com>]

Vala translate your cast to a get_<type> function of your value.

ex:
Value v = "toto";
var val = (string)v; //equals to 'var val = v.get_string();'

so (Value)my_val is impossible because GLib.Value doesn't have a get_value
function.
