Demonstrates the missing functionality (10.00 KB, application/x-compressed-tar)

Description Stef Walter 2008-07-26 18:25:51 UTC 
Given a C struct declaration like:

	typedef struct _ApiBlah {
		guchar *blah;
		guint length_of_blah;
	} ApiBlah;

We cannot use a vapi declaration like:

	public struct Blah {
		public uchar[] blah;
	}

... because there is no way to specify that 'length_of_blah' should be used as the length of the uchar[] array. 

Complete test case in attachment.
