Description Jürg Billeter 2008-05-25 16:01:25 UTC 
Non-simple structs are not returned via return value in C, the usual way is to use an output parameter. We should support this without an explicit out parameter in Vala.

    MyStruct get_my_struct ();

should become

    void get_my_struct (MyStruct *result);
