Description Darren Shepherd 2010-02-06 13:59:31 UTC 
Steps to reproduce


i.vala:

public interface IDInterface : Object {
       public abstract string id { get; construct; }
}

o.vala:

public class IDObject : IDInterface, Object {
       public string id { get; construct; }
}

public static void main(string[] args) {
}


valac i.vala o.vala:

/home/darren/Projects/VMake/temp/o.vala.c:66: warning:
‘id_interface_set_id’ used but never defined
/tmp/ccfvotda.o: In function `id_object_set_property':

Comment 1 Abderrahim Kitouni 2010-02-08 11:15:17 UTC 
from my comments on the mailling list :

something public that is used in the second file isn't declared.
adding:
   const char* id_interface_get_id (IDInterface* self);
   void id_interface_set_id (IDInterface* self, const char* value);
after:
   GType id_interface_get_type (void);

in the generated C files solves the problem, so it shouldn't be very
difficult to fix, it just needs someone who is familiar with the
codegen.

Not sure when it was fixed, but it works now.
