Excess initializers in contacts-types.c
Last modified: 2017-03-02 10:29:55 UTC
During a rebuild of all Debian packages in a clean sid chroot (and cowbuilder+pbuilder) the build failed with the following error. Please note that we use our research compiler tool-chain (using tools from the cbmc package), which permits extended reporting on type inconsistencies at link time.

Best, Michael
This might actually be a vala compiler issue
The code in gnome-contacts look something like: public class foo : Object { private struct InitData { unowned string display_name_u; unowned string types[3]; } private const InitData[] general_data = { { N_("Home"), { "HOME" } }, { N_("Work"), { "WORK" } } }; } The generated C code looks like: struct _fooInitData { const gchar* display_name_u; const gchar* types[3]; }; static const fooInitData FOO_general_data[2] = {{"Home", {"HOME"}, 3}, {"Work", {"WORK"}, 3}};
