Description Evan Nemerson 2011-11-01 21:10:27 UTC 
With glib >= 2.31, there are a bunch of changes to locks which mean that the code valac generates for the lock keyword is deprecated. Some basic info is in the glib NEWS file (http://git.gnome.org/browse/glib/tree/NEWS)

When targeting glib >= 2.31, valac should use the new GRecMutex and only use APIs that aren't deprecated.

(This bug is only for the lock keyword, not the bindings. Figuring out how to get the bindings right while maintaining backwards compatibility is a separate issue.)
