Description Michael 'Mickey' Lauer 2009-04-08 19:39:50 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
Example: The only legit way to contruct a GLib.Dir is through the state open method. However, calling the constructor Dir() compiles in Vala and bails out in C:

foo.c: In function '_main':
foo.c:12: error: invalid application of 'sizeof' to incomplete type 'GDir' 
error: cc exited with status 256
Compilation failed: 1 error(s), 1 warning(s)


Steps to reproduce:
1. 
2. 
3. 


Actual results:


Expected results:


Does this happen every time?
