Created attachment 186258 [details]
example source code

If I have in a .vala file, a line

int x, y;

valac complains:

t.vala:1.1-1.3: error: syntax error, expected declaration


but if the declaration is inside a function body it is accepted.

One would be expecting the above line is a valid global variable declaration for two variables.
