patch

Trying to bind a settings of type double with a property in Vala of type gfloat fails with the following critical message:

"CRITICAL **: g_settings_bind: property 'xxx' on class 'yyy' has type 'gfloat' which is not compatible with type 'd'"

I believe that the float type is simply missing from g_settings_mapping_is_compatible (see patch).

Are you sure this works?

This should allow the binding to be created, but I don't think that it will actually allow values to be successfully transferred back and forth.  Can you please expand the test case as a way to demonstrate this?
Comment 2 Gautier Pelloux-Prayer 2016-09-19 10:57:58 UTC 
I am not much confident with glib in general, I cannot provide you with a proper test case. My patch must only fix partially this issue indeed, my bad.
